Katherine's Pov
I've said before that I do not feel regret or guilt. My whole life I've never done anything I've regretted nor have I done something I should feel guilty about.
But as I'm standing in front of Ashtons house, zipping up my jacket, I feel.. guilty. This time I felt guilty because I know I'm not going to return. This is my plan. It's not a perfect plan but it's plan regardless. Amelia would be disappointed about it but I have to do this.
I should've said goodbye but I can't do it. Especially to Amelia, we promised to stay in each other's lives forever but I unfortunately have to break that promise. As much as I want to keep it, I know I can't.
But now, now they'll finally be free of me and my problems. Amelia and her parents can explore the world without worrying about me or running into people that want me dead.
After I get her parents back, I'll officially disappear. Joey won't let me out of his sight because he'll be afraid to lose me again. Escaping this time will be harder which is why I'm going to need some help.
Before I go rescue Amelia's parents, I'll have to find my brother's. They'll help me get them back and take Joey down. That's what family is for, right?
I looked at Ashtons house one last time before sighing and turning around. This was going to be a long, long journey. If I were to bring Amelia or Ashton with, they would've slowed me down.
As I walked into the darkness away from Ashtons house, my chest started to ache and I rubbed it gently. Tears stinging my eyes.
"It's okay, this is for the best. We can't let them get hurt anymore." I took a deep breath and continued walking, I switched my phone off and kissed it.
"Damn, this is hard.." I mumbled before throwing my phone somewhere into the bush
For some reason I thought there might be a tracker in my phone so I decided to get rid of it. Better sooner than later, right?
Besides if I wanted to contact Amelia or Ashton I could phone them, I have Amelia's number memorized and Ashtons house number is on a paper that's in my bra.
Don't judge me. I'm sure everyone keeps things in their bras, its normal.
I know I'm not the only female that does this but let's not get into this, I have bigger things to worry about.
Joey would recognize me immediately if I were to appear right now or somewhere in his territory. For him to not recognize me, I'll have to chance my appearance.
As I walked onto an unknown road, I tied my hair into a high ponytail. "I'll need some scissors.." I muttered as I continued to walk on the road.
It was approximately 5:30a.m, I've been walking for about twenty minutes I think.
A small shop soon came into view, the front lights were still on so I assumed they were open.The shop had a big flower on top of the roof, there flowers sitting outside by the door as well. I assumed this was a flower store, they'll definitely have scissors here and I won't stay long.
As I opened the door, a bell rang and I looked upwards. There was a small bell that hung on top of the door, signaling the owner whenever they have customers. Cute
"Hello miss, how can I help you?" I looked forward and saw an old man standing behind the counter with a smile on his face
His beautiful dimples were visible on both sides of his cheeks, he must've been a ladies man back in his younger days.
"Can I use a pair of scissors and a mirror, please?" He nodded his head and motioned me with his hand to follow him into the backroom.
As I followed the old man into to backroom, I looked at all the beautiful flowers that passed us. My favorite one was the sunflower, it stuck out the most to me.
The yellow was bright and beautiful, there was a little brown on the edges, it must've been slowly dying. Sounds familiar.
Sounds like me.
A small sigh escaped my lips as I thought about what's to come. It might not look like I'm dying on the outside but I'm definitely dying on the inside.
One of my biggest flaws was always depending on myself, being independent is good but not always. I've always hated getting help from other people, I felt as if they weren't really working with me but instead against me.
The kind old man handed me a pair of scissors and told me where the bathroom was. I quickly thanked him before walking towards the bathroom.
Once I was in, I locked the door and placed my bag on the ground. It's time for a change, yeah?
I brushed out my hair and tied it in a low pony tail, the end of the hair tie was where I'd be cutting.
I took my hair into my hands and grabbed the scissors, my eyes half closed as I cut off a huge chunk of my hair.
As the hair fell on the ground, a small laugh escaped my lips. It feels good to do this. I opened my eyes and started cutting my hair, smiling in the process.
My hair now sat just below my shoulders, the ends were straight.It wasn't perfect but it was good enough, there wasn't really any uneven parts or so I'd hope.
I took out a brush and gently brushed my hair and blew my bangs out of my face. Oh, did I mention I have bangs now?
I gently touched them and smiled, I look.. different with them but it's a good difference. It was definitely time for a change, this was needed.
Once I finished cutting my hair, I put my jacket in the bag and took out my grey hoodie. Technically it wasn't mine, it was Ashtons, I stole it before I left because let's face it, I look better in it than he does.
And I loved over sized hoodies.
As I packed everything away and threw my hair out of the window in the bathroom, I took one last glance in the mirror before exiting.
There's no going back after this. Okay, I probably should've said that before cutting my hair but whatever—
What's important is, I'm ready for the adventure. I'm all alone for now so that means I need to be extra careful since there's no one to help me if I get caught.
All I need to do is find my brother's, or at least one of them first. They'll help me gather the rest and we'll handle Joey together. Ashton doesn't need to know about this but he'll find out soon. I know he will.
He's not stupid, Ashton knows how badly I want revenge on Joey. I just hope he waits until I'm ready to see him.
Seeing Ashton with her, pissed me off. I was falling for that stupid male and he just brushed me off, he has the fucking nerve to smirk at me while he's with her.
It was obvious he was trying to make me jealous and if it wasn't for my self control— don't even lie to yourself
Okay, if it wasn't for the fact that we were rudely interrupted, I would've torn her apart limb by limb. Bitch had the nerve to back chat me, hah! I would've kicked her fucking ass, stupid little shi-
Anyway, I greeted the man one last time and thanked him for the scissors before exiting his store and continuing my journey.
It was about 6:48a.m, I checked the old mans clock before I left. I should probably get something to eat while I find my brother's, nobody can work on an empty stomach.
