Natsuki and I walk up stairs to my room. We sit on my bed and talk for hours. We talk about what we'll do to get her out of there. To get her healthy and treated fairly for the first time. For her to not be treated like garbage. It took her a while to accept she going to run away from her home and live here but once she did, joy filled in her eyes. She seemed so excited to leave, like she's been waiting for this moment for so long. It seems like everything that happens to her is painfully long. But she finally, after all this time, she's going to get what she deserves. What we decided to do was for her to go home and sleep like usual, well pretend to sleep and then when her dad's asleep she'll pack up her most important belongings and call me. I'll pick her up and she'll be in her new home. A better home for sure. That's are plan, and we hope it goes accordingly. If not, I don't know what will happen. I don't even want to think about the possibilities.

I wake up at 11:46pm with a phone call from Natsuki.
"Hey, I got all of my stuff ready and my dad's asleep."
"On my way."
I get out of bed half asleep. The other side of me is awake only because I fear if I fell asleep I would've missed Natsuki's phone call. I put on my light red jacket and check my pocket for the keys. Thank god they are in there. I walk outside into the cold night and turn on my car. Maybe once Natsuki is here we could watch the stars. It's a beautiful milky night in the sky. The stars light up the world like fireflies. But right now isn't about some old stars. Right now is about getting Natsuki to her new home.

I arrive at two apartment buildings and find my way over to 2b. I see Natsuki waiting there with a backpack and a suitcase. I pull the car to the side and open the door for her. She hops in and silence fills the car. Either she's tired or she doesn't want to make any noise for anyone to hear . As we start to leave my car starts acting up. It does this sometimes where it takes a little extra push to get it going.
"What is your car doing?!?" She whispers.
"It does this once in a while. It's fine. It should start up again soon." Right after I say that my eyes light up. I see a man in the door of her apartment with a flashlight. He has a five o'clock shadow and a torn up leather jacket. It only takes me a second to figure out who that is. Natsuki, who was looking my way suddenly turns around and sees her Dad.
"GO!!" She practically yells in my ear. My heart began to race from her immediate yell, that causes me to hit on the gas as hard as possible. The car jerks up but  starts driving away. The car skids across the road and as we drive away we hear him yell and scream. The only words I could actually understand was, "You are NOT getting away with this! Ya heard me?!? I'll find both of you scums!! Maybe even call the police on y'all!!!!", and with that, we were gone.
