*Authors note*

ahh sorry i havent updated in awhile i have been on vacation since summer started but im back now(:

i shoved over a few pair of my dads socks and grabbed the small stack of money. i rushingly stuffed it into my bra and accidently slammed the night stand drawer shut. i cringed at the sound, scared if my parents woke up. my luck, i heard my dad jump up from his laying position...

"Who's there!"

a tingling feeling fell over my body like a blanket. i was too scared to move. it felt like a dream where something is chasing you but you cant get your legs to move.... except this was real. i couldnt decide whether to jump up and tell him it was me or hide. i quickly shifted myself under the bed and slithered to the bottom of it near the door. i felt my dad step out of his bed and open a different drawer on his night stand **Click Click** i heard him load his gun.

........

"DAD... ITS ME, YOUR DAUGHTER BRI" i yelled slipping out from under the bed but still hiding behind the foot of it.

he walked over to the door and flicked the lights on. slowely putting his gun down

"what the hell are you doing here"

"uh i dunno, me and steve got in a fight so i didnt know what to do" i lied

"well you are not welcome here anymore. you should have thought about that before you ditched the people love and care for you the most" he yelled grabbing my arm and dragging me down the stairs

when we reached the door he just gave me an ugly glare, it looked as if he was tearing up

"love and cared about us" i continued "are you fucking insane? you are an abusive drunk who does not deserve children... and thats the truth" i screamed in his face

"leave" he whimpered shaking his head and pushing the door open

i flinched at the loud sound thinking it was his hand making contact with my face.... but it wasnt. i felt bad for a second but then remembered all of the pain he put me and my brother through. he is a no good drunk. i took one last look before darting through the door with no intention of looking back. tears uncontrollably streaming down my flushed cheeks. i really didnt have time for this, i got the money and thats all i need. i roughly wiped off the tears with the back of my wrist.

"happy thoughts, happy thoughts" i wispered aloud to myself, i took a deep breath and continued my thoughts

okay, next i have to go back to the police station and bail dally out, i hope i have enough money. i continued down my narrow street before taking a few shortcuts around town that steve had taught me. i keep forgetting that he slapped me and how mad i am at him. but its over with and its time to move on with my life... without him. i finally saw the big brick building that was the police station. i ran up to the front entrance where i had passed through several times that night as i tried to push the handle the door wasnt budging. i pushed it a few more times but still no movement. i wasnt sure if there was another entrance so i decided to knock, however the room seemed empty, not even the secretary was present.

"wellll, wellll, wellll... look what we got here" a voice behind me chuckled

i quickly twisted my head around and layed my eyes on an unfamilar and ugly face.. he had short cut hair and a preppy outfit, he was a soc, and had 3 other socs standing behind him.

"alittle grezzzer girl wondering the police station.. alone...at night....in the dark" he smiled

"stay away" i hesitantly warned

"or what..?"

a moment of scilence occured as he intimatly stared me down before i knew it i had 4 older guys chasing me, i dashed for my life! around the corner of the brick building and into to suprising side entrance. i quickly slammed the black door behind me. i looked around for something to lock the door with. the best i could find was a broom, so i lodged it in the side and continued on my way. i heard banging on the door and the wooden broom cracking. it was like a maze, hundreds of plain white hallways leading to no where. those boys have alot of nerve trynna jump me at a police station.

after minutes of running through a mystery i finally came to a familiar door with an intercom on the side. it was the room where you can speak on the phones which means this way will lead me to the office. i heard the sound of boys running and panting down the hallway behind me. once again i took off. in about 30 seconds i found my way to the main office. i was releaved as i saw the lady at the desk sitting there enjoying a rather large hoagie. as soon as the boys came through the last hallway into the office they immediatly calmed down and stood up straight like nothing had happened and they walked out giving me unwelcoming stares as they passed. i took a deep breath as i sighed in relief.

"may i help you"

that was a close one i could have easily been killed by them, what was i thinking comming all alone. i should have known better

"excuse me! may i help you?" the secretary called again in frustration

"oh yes sorry um hi im here to bail Dallas Winston out"

"alright" she sighed typeing then printing out a document "sign here" she enforced laying the paper on the counter with a pen over it "that'll be $250"

my eyes widened, that was already half of the money we needed to survive off of, but it was worth it. i turned around and grabbed the stack of money out of my bra. i turned back around and counted 20 by 20 until i had enough money in my hand. i quickly gave it to her just wanting to see dally.

"okay hun take a seat in our waiting room and ill have him come down right away" the lady assured me

"thanks for all of your help"

she smiled and nodded as i took a seat on an old dusty green chair. i rested my chin on my hand for awhile using this as my only oppurtunity to rest tonight. i wonder what we will do next and where we will end up staying tonight. but to be honest.... none of that really mattered to me anymore, as long as i was with dally i didnt have a care in the world. i heard a quick buzz and these two automatic doors opened to the left of me. out came this amazingly built stunning human being named Dally Winston being escourted by two officers. i dont know what it was either i just really missed him or im attracted to his bad boy image. well whatever it was i felt the urge to run up to him and through my arms around him and never let go... and so i did. the guards let go and he picked me up and spun me around. our eyes made strong contact as he placed me back onto the ground. i felt this different type of feeling inside me... a good one! i guess you could say it felt like he was away for ages.

"thank you" he whispered kissing the top of my head

"your welcome" i smiled back

he grabbed my hand and we gracefully walked out of the police station throughing the past behind us and starting our new journey together.

"where to next" i questioned

"Bucks... im gonna steal his car"
