The Plan (Re-Writing)

Chapter 6:We Leave At Midnight

**Chance's POV**

About the plan......I'll do it.

I read her text again just to make sure. She had actually agreed to my plan! Wow! This was really surprizing given the way she had reacted when I had first explained it to her.

But that didn't matter now. All that mattered was that she had said "yes" to the plan, so now I had to confirm the outline of where we  were headed. Remember my aunt who had said she would give us a place to stay? Well, I texted her to make sure we were still doing that.

If me and Bella come in a couple days, is that alright?

Then I replied to Bella:

Great! So....can we leave as soon as possible?

I hoped this would all work out. I had spent such a long time saving up and planning and now I had finally gotten Bella to agree to the plan. It had to work!

Just then I realized, I had to get my phone back from my parents before leaving. I couldn't just leave it with them or they would know how to contact all my friends, and me.

Luckily, they were gone at work, and my sister and two younger siblings were at friends' houses, so it was a perfect time to look.

Just then I heard my old phone beep. I checked and saw that my aunt had replied to my text.

Sounds fine! See you soon!

Perfect! Now all I needed was to hear from Bella. But instead of waiting in my room, I went downstairs to look in all the usual hiding spaces. There was the fake drawer, that hed been unscrewed and sawed through to make a spot.

Not there.

There was the old tea pot at the back of the highest cupboard.

Not there either.

In a couch cushion? No.

Those were all their downstairs hiding places that I knew of. To be honest, they weren't the best hiders, but they were good at tracking down people when they were searching for things.

I looked under their matresses, in dresser drawers, in my sister's room even! Nothing.

I had been looking in my younger brother's room when I heard a beep. It was like a beep from a phone. Mine maybe?

It kept beeping and I followed the sound until I found that it was coming from my younger brother's piggy bank on the floor!

I opened it up to find......my phone!

Thankfully the text was only a notification that someone had started following me on Twitter, so even if my parents had found the phone, they wouldn't have found anything.

I quickly took it and went back to my room, just as Amber and my twins brother and sister got home. When I put my iPhone on the desk, I opened my old phone and saw that Bella had replied.

Yeah. Whenever's fine with me!

I texted her back:

How about tonight at midnight. I'll meet you outside your house.

She replied:

Ok. C u then :)

So....this was actually happening! I put my old phone on my desk, and my iPhone in a drawer, so no one would see it, and then I started packing.

**Isabella's POV**

So this was actually happening. I was running away with my boyfriend. Now my life really was sounding like a story!

I turned to my closet to see what I should pack. I would need to pack almost everything, but I would have to leave some behind. We were leaving on foot, so I would have to use my old school backpack.

This wasn't a good thing because it could only hold so much and I would have to be carrying practically everything I owned in it. 

I decided to think through what I really truely needed on the trip. I would definetly need underwear and deoderant and stuff like that.

I grabbed ny phone, laptop, and my money and put them in the middle pocket of my backpack. In the largest pocket I put my shoes and clothes and the smallest pocket held my toiletries. The side pockets were still empty so I checked once more to see if I still needed anything.

I had everything that I absolutely couldn't live without so I laid down on my bed to get some sleep before tonight. If we were leaving at midnight and walking until we had gotten far away enough to rest without worrying about being found, I couldn't be tired.

I only hoped that Chance had planned this out as well as he described it to me.

**12:00 Midnight**

*Isabella's POV*

I had been sitting on my bed since 11:00. Chance said that he was going to come at midnight and so I wanted to be awake when he did come.

I had made sure to sleep earlier and drink coffee to make sure that I wouldn't be tired when we finally left. I looked around the room, knowing that I probably wouldn't ever see it again.

For a moment I almost felt sad to be leaving. I wouldn't exactly miss my family too kuch. They weren't the kind of people who had ever really been there for me, or who had gone out of their way to make me smile. 

Chance was that kind of person though, and that was what made me feel so right about running away with him. He really cared about me. He would be there for me when I needed someone and he had definetly gone out of his way to make me smile. That was why I loved him so much.

Just then a knock at my window jerked me out of my daydream. I turned around to see Chance sitting in my tree. I opened the window and let him in.

"You really climbed all the way up here just to get me?"

"Yes. I did. I wanted to make sure you were ready and that you really wanted to do this."

"I do want to do this. I'm ready."

"Ok well then let's go."

I smiled at him and then picked up my backpack. Noticing that he didn't have anything with him, I asked, "Where's your stuff?"

"Oh, it's in your driveway."

I laughed softly and then followed him down the tree into my front yard. He picked up his bag and we started walking down the street together.

"So, where were you thinking we would go?"

"Oh, I thought if we got to the next town we would be safe for the night. I found a small motel there that not a lot of people know about. I figured that would be good in case they decide to come looking for us."

"Only the next town away?"

"Well....if you want to travel farther..."

"No, that'll be fine."

I only hoped it would be fine. But Chance had the plan and I trusted that he had worked everything out. I just figured it would be best to keep going on and doing what he said.
