Long Way

Part 5

It's Sunday morning. My trip will start in 2 hours. I get up out of the squeaky bed and walk towards the bathroom. I go in to get changed, but the bathroom has a skeptical smell so I just got dressed near the bed. I walk towards the door and open it. I leave and go to the front desk. I ask the lady if I can borrow the phone and she hands it over without any questions asked. I call my grandma again and she automatically answered. "Riley?" Was her first word. "Hi grandma. Are we still on for today?" "Yes, yes of course! As long as your still on for today." "All
Right then." We hang up and I give the phone back to the lady. I try to pay but the lady politely declined the money. "Why won't you take it?"  "Because, you are gonna need the money for your trip." She opened some sort of case and handed me one-hundred dollars! "Thank you very very much!" "Don't mention it. You're gonna need it." I take the money and put it in my piggy bank. I leave after thanking the lady multiple times. I walk to the bus station and wait for the bus. When the bus finally comes, I get on and pay the man. I sit down across from a boy and girl that looks exactly like Robbie and Anna. After two minutes I realize, that is Robbie and Anna! "Robbie! Anna!" "Riley!" We look at each other with amazement. "Are mom and dad on the bus?" "No, we ran away from home. Well, I ran away from home but I realized that I couldn't leave Anna with mom and dad so, I took her with me." "Where were you planning to go?" I asked Robbie with worry in my eyes. "I don't know. Where are you going?" "I'm going to grandma J's house." "In Florida?!" "Yeah. I already talked to her about it." "Can we go with you?" "Of course! I just need to get back to the gas station and call her again." Soon enough, we were at the gas station. All three of us got off the bus and went into the gas station with confidence. I asked the man if I could use
the phone and he said yes. "Riley?" "Hi grandma. I need to ask you a question." "Go ahead dear." "Can Robbie and Anna stay with you too?"
