The Sleuthy Secret Of A Snazzy Socialite

Prologue

"Please. Help me Luke. I don't know what to do." I sobbed.

Grim silence. Why isn't he saying anything? I just told him everything. Maybe he should just yell at me, or at least be disappointed. Why is he looking at me like that? Like a problem?

Then he hugged me. Just out of the blue.

"Nic shh. Calm down. Let me think." he said softly into my hair.

I nodded into his shirt. I knew I was ruining his shirt and tried to pull back but he just squeezed harder. It felt so good.

"I know something, a place. Are you sure about this?"

This time I managed to peel back from him.

"Yes Luke, I want out. Can you help me?"

"Yes. There is this place. But it will be tough, very tough. And even if we go by the end of this week, you won't be able to get back in time for the start of the new school year."

"I think I can manage to be a couple weeks late. I'm ready to do anything for this."

"Then I'll make the arrangements."

"What about mom and dad? Would you tell them?"

"I won't if you don't want me to. We'll figure this out on our own."

I hugged him hard. What would I even do without him?

~x~

I know this does not seem much, but just hang till the first chapter.
