Are you stuck inside a world you hate? Are you sick of everyone around? 

{Please listen to the song :)}

-Narrator- 

Never in either of their lives, have they expected to be heading off to some place they have never heard of, and being ordered to live there. Shit, they never even imagined that they would be running from murderers, but I guess that's what life is all about, the unexpected. 

"What have our lives become?" Harry said while he watched out the window of the car, even though all you could see was dirt walls. 

"A roller coaster Harry. One very bumpy roller coaster." Sapphire responded. She looked at his mop of curls on his head. She was thinking about all the hair styles you could do with it. His hair had gotten so long, it was about down to the top of his shoulders. Thinking about it, she looked at her own hair in the reflection of the window. The red had already started to fade out of her hair, and the ends were turning orange. Her hair reached her bellybutton and the ends were very uneven. Sapphire took one of the hair ties from her wrist and tied her hair into a high ponytail, then scooted over to Harry and started gathering his hair back.

"What the hell are you doing?" Harry asked, laughing.

"I'm putting your hair up, so its out of your face." 

"Thanks you butt face." He said and stuck his tongue out at her. Sapphire grabbed him and hugged him tight, he hugged back. They broke apart and he softly kissed her dry lips. 

"You always know how to make me feel better." Harry said. 

"That's what I'm here for." Sapphire responded, and she stuck her tongue out at Harry. He put his face in his hands and laughed to himself.

"You're so fucking weird, I love it." Harry said. Sapphire smiled slightly. 

"We arn't going to make it are we?" Sapphire whispered, staring at the ground. Harry lifted his face up from his hands and looked over at Sapphire, who had tears dripping off her nose. 

"Hey, don't cry." He said. Harry got up and knelled down in front of her. "We are going to make it. Don't doubt our abilities to be free. They are being tracked, the FBI are going to catch them, and we will be free forever. I promise." Harry stuck out his pinkie. Sapphire laughed slightly, and linked her pinkie with his. Harry kissed her nose and sat down next to her, and held her hand tightly as she leaned her head on his shoulder. Harry looked out the window and he saw light. 

"Sapphire, look." He said.

"Wha- oh my God were almost there." Sapphire said. She stood up and walked over to the back and watched as the light got closer and closer. Then they stopped and the doors opened. They walked hand and hand to the end of the tunnel. There was a platform that lead to the ground. They saw a person waving at them.

"Who is that?" Sapphire asked.

"HEY! JUST STEP ON AND YOU'LL COME DOWN HERE!" The voice screamed.

"Well they sound like a girl." Harry said. They stepped on the platform and it started heading to the ground. Once they got to the ground, a girl came running up to them.

"Hi I'm Katie." She said, and stuck her hand out for someone to shake.

"I'm Sapphire." Sapphire shook Katie's hand. 

"I'm Harry." Harry said, also shaking Katie's hand. They all stood in awkward silence for a while, then Katie broke the silence.

"Well, I'll show you around." Katie said. She started walking and Harry and Sapphire followed her into the house. 

"Here is the kitchen and dining room, where I spend most of my time." Katie said. They laughed and a woman came walking down the stairs with a basket of clothes. 

"Katie can you come and help me fol- oh! Hi i didn't know you were here so soon." the woman said. "Tomas! They're here!" she screamed.

"Suzie, this is Sapphire and that's Harry."

"Hi, as you know now, I'm Suzie." she said. Suzie took both of them into a hug, and then Tomas came down the stairs. 

"Tomas, this is Harry and Sapphire." Suzie said. 

"Hi." Harry said and they did the random bro hug thing. Sapphire and Katie gave each other the look of, What the fuck, and Sapphire introduced herself to Tomas. 

"Well who's hungry, I have burgers for everyone!" Suzie said. Everyone cheered and they sat down around the dinner table. Sapphire and Harry felt like they have known these people for longer than they actually did. They were very inviting, and friendly. Sapphire and Harry told their stories around the dinner table, and Katie started to tell hers. 

"Well, I'm originally from Canada, but I ran away from my orphanage because nobody was close to being nice to me. My old friend, who was a brother to me, raped me only a year ago, that's when I decided to run away to Alaska. Tomas and Suzie found me and they took me in with them. I was very skeptical about them at first, but I was very happy I didn't just run away from them." Katie smiled at Suzie and Tomas.

"So, Tomas what's your story." Sapphire asked, as she refilled her glass with water.

"My story is a runaway one also. My ex-wife was very abusive towards me, so I decided, after ten years of it, that I would run away to the place with the least amount of people, and at the time, there was only one person here. But on my way, I found Suzie trying to hitch a ride, so I pulled over and figured out that we were going to the same place."

"Suzie what were you coming out here for?" Harry asked. 

"I lost my job, and my family would always tie me up and they would beat me with sticks and lock me in a closet for days at a time. I finally had the chance to escape when they forgot to lock the closet door and they went out for a day. I untied myself and took money, rented a car and I was gone." 

"Damn." Sapphire said.

"Where's Al?" Tomas asked to nobody particular.

"He should be here anytime soon." Suzie said. They all finished dinner and cleaned up, then they watched television for a while. Then, the man named Al finally came home. 

"Hi Al! There are some burgers in the microwave for you." 

"Thank you Sue," Al said, he then saw Harry and Sapphire, "Hello, I'm Albert." He said, and shook hands with Harry and Sapphire. They talked for a while and then, Albert revealed the one thing Sapphire wanted to hear from her Grandmother. 

"You have grown up so much Jane."

"What?" Sapphire questioned him.

"Do you not remember me?" Al asked. Sapphire shook her head.

"I am your Grandfather, Sapphire."
