Never Again

Meet Me at the Slides

I sat down at his lunch table.
"what's wrong?" Jake asked me.
"Home again. I can't go back there."
"Do u want to do to the park after school?" Jake asked.
"We are seniors, Hell yeah!"
Jake and I laughed. He knew how it was at home. Mom was always mad, Dad was always gone. That's how i grew up. My parents hate me, that's why they named me Daisy Hun Manner. My friends call me Honey. My parents are the only ones that call me Daisy, that's why i don't let anyone else call me that.

Every period went by in a snap of a finger. Once the bell rang, I grabbed my stuff to go to the park. I texted Jake.

🍯Honey🍯~ Hey, I'm at the park.
Meet me by the slides.
🤣JJ🤣: Are there little
kids there?
🍯Honey🍯~ Surprisingly no, they
got out of school an hour ago.
🤣JJ😂: K. i'll be there in
a sec
I sat on the bottom of the slide, waiting. I would watch kids from my school pass by. Jake walked up to me.
"HELLLLLOOO!"
"You seem excited."
"I am, we never hang out."
There was a pause for a little bit.
"Daisy, we need to figure something out, you can't avoiding your home."
I slapped Jake.
"Don't ever call me Daisy."
He held his hand where i had hit him.
"I'm sorry."
I quickly lit up because an idea popped into my head. I readjusted myself to face jake.
"What if we just ran away, traveled or just left."
"Honey, we can't just run away from our problems."
"But what if we could? Please! Just think about it as a vacation. We haven't seen each other that much this year, we need to go somewhere."
"That's true, are we gonna tell anyone?"
"No, come with me, i'm gonna grab a few clothes and we are getting on the road, JJ."
"We are running away, aren't we?"
"Yep!"
