Crossing Paths *ON HOLD*

Chapter 3: Running Away

BRITTNEY POV

---------------------------------------------

I look up to see a girl with a really short dress and alot of makeup on. "Hey?" I say. "Hey where's Aaron? I need to talk to him. He didn't come last night." The girl says. "By the way Im Jamie." She says. I stand up. "Brittney." I say. 'Hey Brittney!" Aaron smiles. "Hey babe!" Jamie says. She runs torwards Aaron and kisses him. "Yeah. Im gonna go." I say. I open my gate and run torwards a park. "A willow tree please." I plead. I run around the park and see a large willow tree. I climb up it until I fin a branch and start to sob in my knees. "I knew I wasn't good enough. I have cancer. I'm ugly, fat and stupid." I say each word I say I cry more. "Brittney?!" Some voices say. "I got this just go back to her place." I think Hayes's voice says. "Brittney?" Hayes asks. "H-here." I stutter. I hear Hayes climbing the tree. I place my head back in my knees. "Brittney look up." Hayes says. I look up. "Oh Brittney." Hayes says. I cry more. Hayes opens his arms. I hug him and cry in his neck. "It's alright Brittney." Hayes coos.

AARON'S POV

-----------------------------------------

I push Jamie off of me. "You whore. You made my fri- girlfriend run away." I spit. "Aww babe she was ugly-" "DONT SAY SHE'S UGLY! SHE'S BEAUTIFUL AND SHE HAS CANCER! IT WAS HER BIRTHDAY TODAY! WE ALL HATE YOU SO LEAVE!" I snap. Jamie stays in place. "Babe. I know you want me."Jamie says. I push Jamie and walk inside locking the back door. "Where's Brittney?" Cameron aks. "She ran away. I have to look for her." I say. The boys nod. The girls sit there with tears in their eyes. "Why are ya'll crying?" Carter asks. "Last time she ran away we couldn't fine her for 3 weeks." Sarah says. Jenna sits there puffing a blunt. Tina gets up and slaps it out of her hand. "Dont do that." She says sternly. Me and the boys run out. "Split up in groups of 3." Nash says

It was me,Cam,and Matt in one. Nash, Hayes, and Taylor in one other group. They go to the park and we go to the beach. "I'm gonna head to the park." I say. I walk over to the park. I look on Brittney's twitter. "Willow Trees always Let Me Be." She said. "Willow trees." I say. It gave me a idea. I run over to the big willow tree and sit by it. "Hey." A voice says. I look to my right and see Jenna. "Hey." I say emotionless. "Lost hope?" She asks. I nod and stand up. "Well I can give you more." She says. She pushes me up against the tree and presses her lips against mine. I hear slight rustling.

BRITTNEY POV

--------------------------------------------------

I hear Jenna and Aaron's voices. I look down and see them kissing. Do I ever get a break? "Let's go." I say. Me and Hayes climb down the tree. "I thought you loved me Aaron and Jenna, I though we were best friends." I say. I see that Aaron's eyes are getting glossy. Soon a tear slips down his cheeks. "Let's go Hayes." I say. Hayes nods. We start to walk torwards the beach. ''Brittney I'm gonna head back. My mom said Sky wants me." Hayes says. I nod and give him a hug. Me and Hayes part ways. I walk to the beach. Step by step I get sadder and sadder. As I arrive to the beach I realise I'm crying. I sit down on the sand and think about the time my little brother got kidnapped.

FLASHBACK

"Mom Brandon just splashed water in my eyes! Were's my towel?" I asked. I grabbed my towel and wiped my eyes. "MOMMY DADDY HELP ME!" Brandon yelled. Then I found out my brother was kidnapped.

END OF FLASHBACK

I place my head in my knees. "Brittney?" I hear a male voice say. I feel two arms pick me up. I wrap my arms around his neck. "Brittney it's Taylor." Taylor says. I hide my face in his chest. Taylor kisses my head lightly, "It's alright." Taylor says. Taylor puts me down. I open my eyes. I look around and see all the boys crowded around me. Cam bends down and rubs my back. I dry my tears. "That's my girl." Nash says. "We should get inside. We have a house close to here." Carter says. The boys nod. We walk down to a huge house at the end of the beach. "Wow. This is bigger than my house." I say astonished. I look over at the clock. 9:45 pm. If I try to walk home it would atleast be 11:00. I dont wanna get home that late. "Guys is it okay if I just stay here?" I ask

"Alright. Who do want to stay with?" Nash asks. "I'll stay with Taylor." I say. "Alright. Taylor take her to your room." Cam says. Talyor nods. He starts to walk up the stairs. We walk into his room. It was very messy. "Is it okay if I borrow some clothes?" I ask. "Yeah." Taylor says. He opens his drawer and throws out a pair of shorts and a tanktop. I look at the tanktop it says "buckwild.". I sit on the bed and my mind floods with Aaron. I pull my knees up to my face and cry. "Brittney are you alright?" Taylor asks. I shake my head no.

I feel my left side of the bed dip. Taylor wraps his arm around my side and pulls me torwards him. I put my hands down on my lap and let the last few tears fall. I lay my head on Taylor's should and shut my eyes. Taylor starts to tickle my side. "TAYLOR STOP!!" I laugh. He tickles me more. "CAM, NASH ANYONE!" I yell. Matt comes running in. "I'LL SAVE YOU!" Matt yells. Matt tackles Taylor onto the ground. "Holy cock get off of me!" Taylor yells. I keep laughing. Matt gets up with his hair all messed up.

"My hero." I say I walk over to Matt and kiss his cheek. He kisses my cheek. "Hey, I'm gonna save a damsel in distress." Matt smiles. I look down at Taylor and he looks angry. "Aww is little Tay Tay upset? Does he need his binky?" I say in a baby voice. "Oh now you're gonna get it." Taylor says. I run out of his room. "NASH, CARTER, CAM, SAVE ME!" I yell, I get pulled into a room. I start to scream. "Shh, shh. It's just me Aaron." Aaron says. "Nonononno.
