Almost free

10) The decision

Hannah's ptv

I woke up in a frenzy, remembering what had almost happened yesterday, and also remembering that Jacob saved me again. I need to talk to him about that, it's making me feel weak and I don't like it. I was so entrapped in my brain that I almost didn't notice that Jacob was sleeping in the chair in his room. I giggled to myself seeing him drooling on his chair, it looked like he fell asleep looking at me or guarding me in a way. I got out of the bed to go wake him up, then I decided against it seemed like he had not gotten a goods night sleep in a long while. Instead I went downstairs to go make us breakfast, which after seeing that the fridge and pantry were pretty much empty, decided against that and instead went to go wake Jacob up so that we could get Mcdonalds. When I reached the last step on the stairs, I almost got tackled by a worried Jacob.

"Where were you? I got scared when you weren't in the bed, I thought that your dad had snuck in and taken you." Jacob said frantically while looking over me to make sure that I wasn't hurt.

"Jacob i'm ok I was going to make breakfast before I realized that you have absolutely no food in this house, I was coming up stairs to wake you up so that we could go get Mcdonalds. So can we get Mcdonalds?" I asked with hope in my face, if he said no I knew how to make sure that I got food in my stomach. That being my puppy dog eyes, ones that no one can resist.

"Yes we can go to Mcdonalds, we just need to change first."

It was at that moment that I realized that I was still wearing Jacobs shirt and his basketball shorts. " Ya we should also stop by my place so that I can grab stuff." I said because I kinda needed my own clothes.

" No, and that's final I don't want you going anywhere near that place especially with the prospect of your father possibly being there."

I didn't try to argue with him and decided instead to go in the middle of the night when he was sleeping to go get my things and the keys to my dad's nasty truck. I knew it would be too dangerous for me to stay here with Jacob. My dad would find me, He always finds me one way or another he finds me. I couldn't risk it even if it meant leaving Jacob behind, I had to run away to Oklahoma, I had to get away from him. Even though I hated the idea of taking my dad's truck, he found all my money and I would also scrap the plates and swap out the truck halfway to Oklahoma. My plan had made a few changes, however it was still the same plan, the plan to run from the shitty life I lived, to the life I only ever dreamed I could have and that dream would hopefully become a reality after tonight.

It was 11:40 pm when I woke up to go to my old place to get my things and cash that my dad stole from me, but it's ok I was going to steal something from him as well, his nasty green pickup. The only reason that i'm stealing that nasty thing is because it'll be cheaper than buying a bus ticket to Utah. Being as sneaky as possible I traveled down the stairs and past Jacob sleeping on the couch to the kitchen to grab a couple bottles of water, some snacks for the road, and to write a note to Jacob saying, "I'm sorry I can't stay here where he could find me and hurt the both of us. I'm leaving to follow my original plan for when I ran away, that was what me and my friend were talking about the night that you spied on me, I was planning to run away that night. Then I met you and you saved me and I will forever be thankful for you deciding to follow me home that one fateful night. I will never forget you. Send me a postcard when my son of a bitch father dies. I love you, Hannah."

I sat there staring at the note for what seemed like forever. For a long while now I was tossing around the idea of me loving Jacob. As I was writing that note I realized that I did, and now I had to leave him, to protect the both of us.

Guys Hannah will finally get the life that she wants and also sorry not sorry for the massive cliff hanger. :)
