Purple Tips (My New Escape)

Sixteen

I wake up laying on top of La- Lush. I feel the morning sun beating on my face. It was peaceful. No cars, no people, just us, the car, and the farm fields.

I lift my self up from Lush and look down on her. She seems peaceful and calm. So, I made the loudest noise I could make with my fist banging against the dashboard.

"HUH?!? WHAT?? WHAT!!?" She shouted jumping up. I hold in my laughter. "Hm?"

She looks around seeking the answer to the noise. "Ugh.." She groans and lays back down.

I crawl off of her and get out of the truck. "Were....*yawn* where are you going?"

"To get gas. You coming?" As I look back she already has passed out again. I roll my eyes, close the door, and start walking.

Now it's just me.

Just me

"Ok reality check. I k-killed someone, ran away with my best friend, and now I am getting gas so we can run away as far as we can?"

I sigh.

I eventually get to the gas station. I walk in and head for the ATM. I cash out all of the money on the credit card.

$90,000.....

Wow...this should last us a while. I walk through the isle and head towards the cash register. I pass by some hair dye. I look at it and smirk. I grap black and purple.

I pay for the items and leave and I head back to the truck might I just add was a 30 min walk.

I reach the truck and Lush is awake. "Sombra! You're back." I blush a bit.

Okay so she is calling me Sombra now?

I tuck my hair behind my ear. "Hey." I sit down in the drivers seat. "So....It cashed out to $90,000."

She looks at me with wide eyes and a smile. "We're free! With that much, we can do whatever we want! No stupid parents, cops, nothing!"

I lean back in my seat and instantly sit up from the sharp pain in my back. "Ow!" Its a bruise from the battle against my dad.

I get out of the car and put the gas in. "Hey are you ok?" She asked.

I nod my head and smile. "I'm good!" I fill up the gas tank and get into the truck.

I turn it on and we take off.

Lush takes the shopping bag and rummages through it. She pulls out some hair dye. "Oh?" She smirks.

"Its for you."

"Just for me~?"

"Sure."

She looks at purple. "I'll just take black." She said. I nod and keep my eyes on the road.

A few hours pass. This time we stop by gas stations. We sometimes stop at gift shops and buy clothes.

"TACO BELL ON YOUR LEFT!!!"

We both get excited when we see our favorite food. When it starts to get dark out we head over to a hotel using the GPS.

We arrive and I park the car. "I'm goin' in." I hop out and head inside. The lady at the counter smiles at me.

"Good evening."

I smile. "Hi. Room for two?"

She nods. She goes onto her computer. After a moment she frowns nervously. She looks at me a tries to smile. "I'm sorry ma'am. All of our rooms for two are taken up. We only have rooms with one bed."

I roll my eyes. "That's fine."

I get the room key. We grab our shit and go into our room. I sit on the bed.

She sits next to me. There was a pause.

"its going to be okay in the end, Omy."

Omy...Was that a nickname for Sombra? I liked it. It made me feel like we were close.

I held her hand. "I hope so."

She gets up and heads to the bathroom. "Be right back." I nod and she leaves.

I go on my phone for thirty minutes or so and Lush comes back.

I don't look up from my phone when she comes out until she says, "How does it look?"

I look up from my phone and.....wow...wow...she was Beautiful.

She cut her hair short to her ears and died her hair black. She looked like a whole new person.

And I loved every detail of it.

"Its..."

"Good?"

"I was gonna say hot but, Good works too." I smirked.

She smirks as well.

The sun has gone down by now.

She plays a familliar song. I see her starting to move her hips.

I watch her for a bit and them she comes over to my direction. She takes my hand and pulls be to my feet. "Woah!"

"You shall dance with me!"

I giggle and I dance with her. We hold hands from time to time and we have fun.

We jump and spin around making too much noise for this sleepy hotel.

We laugh together never wanting to stop.

"You are such a Dork!"

"You like it."

"I love it, Lush"

We get a call from the room phone. I stop dancing and I glance at it. We make eyecontact and Lush picks up the phone.

"Hello? Oh. Oh yes. Sorry." she hangs up. "Someone complained to us."

She said and smirks. "Pfft." We stand there and look at each other for a while. Not saying anything but it wasn't awkward.

"So what do yah say we hit the hay?"

She smiles.

"Yeah. We can do that."
