"What!?" Tom yelled shockingly as he stood up from the couch.
"Common Tom I'm serious. Think about it, we could have a fresh start, no more abusive dads, no more split parents. Just us!" Zendaya explained quite loudly.
"I-I but-t what if my dad comes home? Who would protect my mom?" Tom asked.
Toms dad was also abusive, that's one of the things they had in common. Ever since his dad walked out, when he was 13, he's been scared that he'd come back and start abusing his mom all over again.
"What about your brother? He could take care of her" Zendaya said.
"Zendaya I don't know if you've been listening to me the past four months but I already told you he now lives in Asia with his god damn wife!" He yelled.
Silence took over the room.
"sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you, but Mike (his brother) doesn't give a shit about this family and he never will." Tom explained in a softer tone.
"I gotta go" he said "Sorry I'll see you tomorrow, you sleeping here?"
Zendaya nodded as her only friend climbed out of the treehouse.
"Be safe, and if you need something call me" she heard Tom yell from underneath the tree.
Maybe her plan was stupid. Maybe running away with the only person she cared about and restarting her shit hole of a life Seemed way too good to be true.
Maybe she was being selfish, maybe a part of actually believed that if she ran away from her problems they would all go away.
Her mind piled up with these thoughts as she laid down on a old leather couch in their treehouse deep into the dark woods.
