Almost two months had passed and Nafla still hadn't made it back yet. He did this every time he left and wouldn't even bother to give you a call or let you know if he was okay. When he did call it was to let you know to pack up and leave but you couldn't even trust him when he'd say it. It's been way too many occasions he told you all to pack up but didn't come through.

You were getting so tired of your life at the moment. It was the same shit everyday and it was like it never changed no matter how much you wanted it to. You needed a break and to just live a normal life for once, a life where you could actually get out of nafla's grip and do simple things without nafla, or someone in the gang breathing down your neck. You wanted to take a greyhound away but it didn't run in Camarillo whatsoever. Sure they had a transit but you would have to walk quite a bit just to get there. You knew you'd get caught taking that route anyway considering that's how he caught you the first time you ran away

Nafla was always three steps ahead. He knew where to get other hide outs so you wouldn't be able to leave easily. There wasn't shit in Camarillo and the only way you could get to a bus stop was if you went to Ventura Cali which you would have to drive to unless you were willing to walk for hours and hours in the hot weather.

"Hey" you heard from behind you. Bloo had walked out to the balcony where you sat with your thoughts, giving you a sweet smile.

"Hey" you said turning to him and smiling back, the sun shining on him making him look almost like an angel.

"I got a call from nafla. It's time for us to head back to Pasadena" he said coming and taking a seat by you

"has he been busy? Haven't heard from him in weeks..." You said with a sigh

"who knows? He barely communicates with us anymore either" bloo said closing his eyes as he leaned his head back.

You never knew what nafla was up to that made him just have to disappear and not contact anyone. You always tell yourself "whatever he's doing in the dark will come to the light" and you stuck by it. The truth always comes out eventually.

"Bloo why don't we just run away" you said turning to him

"we already tried that twice and almost got killed remember?" he told you looking over at you, his hair covering his eyes slightly

"third time's the charm right?" You said to him with a smirk. He looked at you for a moment, his lips parting to speak but closing again. You knew the answer wasn't yes or no but he was thinking about it. Bloo wasn't the type to just say his answer out loud, he would say it with his actions.

Later that day you guys had everything packed and ready, luggage sitting on the floor of the large family room where everyone sat. Nafla had said he'd be there before the sun went down but you guys hadn't seen him yet despite the sun being gone from the sky. An anxious feeling lingered inside of you all day, the crave of wanting to see your lover after a long time nagging at you. As much as you hated him and ran away from him you would always find yourself going through a withdrawal that was far too hard for you to withstand.

Getting emotionally attached to the wrong person is fucked up and a mistake that will throw your life off balance. Not to mention that without Nafla you would have nothing. Every time you ran away there was nothing for you to rely on. The only times you ran away and never came back was when you were with bloo but running away with him always got the two of you discovered.

"Fuck it I'm going back by myself " bloo said getting up. You looked up at him as if he was a psycho, you and the other's eyes meeting, not having to say a word, but knowing what was on each other's mind.

"Bloo do you know how much trouble that will cause?" You said to him

"I'm leaving. Either you guys are gonna come with me or stay here waiting on him like idiots" he said jingling a pair of keys he pulled from his pocket. It was stupid to stay. You knew Nafla wasn't coming back and that he'd just have you all waiting again but this one thing could throw everything off and cause chaos.

"Bloo just stay-"

"Are you coming or not? It's not like I'm going to fucking Canada, I'm going back to Pasadena. Now who's coming?" He asked once more.

"Bloo do you know how stupid this is?" Loopy said to him, irritation showing in his facial features.

"I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks or how anyone feels" he said back raising his voice. Tension was rising with each second that everyone continued to bicker.

"Bloo Nafla is doing this for the safety of us" you told him trying to calm him but to your dismay he only got angrier

"Are you sure considering how much he lies?!" Bloo yelled at you

"Shut up bro!"  Young west said in annoyance making everyone silence themselves.

"We have to operate as one" west said

"Sometimes people have to go on their own" bloo said to west before grabbing his suitcases and walking out of the door slamming it back shut. There was about 5 minutes of complete silence before you heard the sound of a car starting. A gasp left you and you immediately stood up running to the door and swinging it open.

"Hyeunwoong!" You shouted to him. It was a pause before he stepped out of the car, looking at you with a piercing gaze.

"Are you coming or not?" He asked. Before you could even think about your decision you ran back inside and grabbed your bags. You heard the boy's yelling your name and telling you don't do it but you ignored them and ran back to the car with all of your things, opening the trunk and throwing them in. Before they could come out to try and prevent you from going you had already hopped in the passenger seat and locked your door.

"Hurry" you said to bloo, and with that he stepped on the gas and left. You and him didn't mutter a word to each other. Your adrenaline was up as high as it could go, fear overwhelming you.

"Bloo...I'm scared" you said clutching your seatbelt.

"Don't be. Don't be scared anymore." He told you. You smiled at him and looked at the road ahead watching as you and him went further and further from civilization.

"Is this the road back to Pasadena?" You asked in curiosity. You had been back and forth between Camarillo and Pasadena enough to know what it looked like.

"Going a back way just in case someone tries to follow us. You should get some rest" he told you. You nodded and relaxed your tense body, watching the scenery as bloo drove. It took a good minute but eventually you fell asleep in the car.

It wasn't until the next morning rolled around that you woke back up. The sun shining through the window of the car onto you. Now that you thought about it, what were you still doing in the car? You raised up quickly and looked at bloo who had the car parked and was sleeping, your hand gripping his shoulder and shaking it.

"Wake up!" You said to him watching as his eyes opened

"What?" He asked also raising up

"Why aren't we in Pasadena?" You asked

"I wasn't ready to go back" he said

"Bloo if we don't get back not only will you be in trouble I will too! Are you fucking dumb?" You asked him

"Are you going to let one man rule you for the rest of your life?" He asked

"Don't start. Just bring me home" you said. You checked your phone with shaky hands and saw missed calls from everyone else but Nafla which was strange. Usually he'd be down your throat but nothing was said which worried you even more.

"I just...there's something Nafla is doing behind our backs. I can feel it" bloo said

"Why do you say that?"

"I just know it. My intuition is just warning me"
