chapter four

"Marina, my mom is um.. she um.. Marina, I need somewhere to stay" I bit my lip as I walked down the abandon sidewalk

"I'm kind of busy right now, Ana" She replied.

"This is serious, Marina. I don't have anywhere to go" I tried again, she couldn't just leave her best friend with no where to go.

"Alright, fine. I'm not home but go up to my room, I will be home soon, okay?" She gave in, like usual.

"Okay." She hung up and I walked slowly to Marina's house. It wasn't far from mine. I used my spare key to unlock the front, I knew her parents we're asleep and they didn't know she was out. I quietly shut and locked the door and made my way up to Marina's room. I set my suitcase on the corner of the room and sat on her bed. Should I call Michael and tell him? No, he will just worry. Maybe I could call Ashton, he would be calm but he would offer to let me stay with him which I couldn't do. I decided to call Luke, he was mature and calm. I grabbed my phone and dialed Luke's number, it rang a few times before I got his voicemail, he was asleep but knowing Luke he would wake up if I kept calling so I did, I kept calling until he finally answered.

"Ana?" He said sleepily

"Luke" I laid back on her bed and stared at the ceiling.

"Ana, what's wrong?" He sounded more awake now.

"You can't tell any of the boys okay, that's my job. Promise me, you won't tell" I told him, he had to promise. If the boys knew I told him before them, they would be furious at me.

"I promise, what's wrong?" He asked again, he was worried but not the type of worried Michael would have been.

"I left home. I'm okay, don't worry. I'm stay with Marina, I just need your advise" I breathed, I need reassurance and Luke was good at that.

"Tell me, love" Was all he said so I shortened the story.

"My dad is away at the moment and I went home to find my mom with another guy so I left, I packed a bag and walked out. I called Marina and I'm now at her house waiting for her to get home" I explained "Listen, I thought about calling one of you guys but I thought if we were to stay together for too long we would get tired of eachother and I don't want that to happen" I finished, my eyes shut as I laid on Marina's bed.

"Just think, everything will be okay. You can alway go back home when your ready and you know we will always take you in if you need" He replied, I already knew this but hearing it from Luke made it real. "I really think you should tell Michael, I know you called me because you didn't want to worry him" He added, I sighed. He's right.

"I'll tell him tomorrow at school" I jumped when Marina walked in the room. She gave me a small smile so I told Luke I had to go.

"Hi" My cheeks became bright red, why the fuck was I being shy in front of my best friend?

"Tell me, what happened?" She sat next to me, pulling my into a tight hug.

"I um.. walked in on my mom with another guy so I left" I shrugged, I'm still shocked it was so hard to discover and how I hadn't found out before..

"That's terrible, I'm so sorry you had to see that" She shook her head disgustedly, I laughed and nodded.

"He wasn't even hot" I whispered in her ear and she laughed too "So where have you been?" I asked leaning back on my hands

"With a boy.." She trailed off, I jumped up.

"What?! Tell me!" I hit her gently on the shoulder

"It's Austin Young" She smiled. Shit, he was really hot. He would never go for a girl like me and I wouldn't really go for a guy like him but he was pretty hot.
