Runaway. [With One Direction]

Chapter 10 - Inconvenient

I get how to boys thought this song would affect me. I mean, it was in the lyrics. About missing home, and feeling on my own. But the truth is, I'm not missing home. I'm so glad I am away from that place. If I could still called that place my home.

And I don't really feel on my own anymore. I never been less alone.

'Claire?' Harry asks unsure. I get sucked back into reality. I look around, seeing all the boys looking at me with pity. I guess I should hold on to this act, or else, sooner or later, they will find out the truth. I smile lightly at Harry.

'That was really pretty you guys.' I say, still smiling and looking around.

'I knew it was a bad idea! Why did you suggest it in the first place Niall?!' Louis says while punching Niall softly.
Niall puts his guitar down.
'I am really sorry again Claire, I didn't mean to up sad you.' I could see his eyes becoming watery.

'No! Don't be Niall. That was truly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.' I say, hugging Niall tightly.

It doesn't takes long before our hug turned into a huge group hug. Not really what I mend. At all. I was trying to keep distant from the guys, which failed, but now we were bonding. Not good at all. I couldn't help it though, I just couldn't stand seeing Niall anything but happy.

'Alright?' I ask.

'Alright.' Niall quietly adds. That's enough for me. I lose myself from the huge group hug, looking at pretty surprised people.

'I'm going to bed now. I'm pretty tired.' I explain.
What a great excuse. Original. Smart. Just.. amazing.

To much sarcasm.

The guys nod, still a bit unsure. 'Understandable,' Liam says, 'it has been a long day for you.'

It was like he tried to explain it more to him then to me. Niall steps forth. 'Well good night then.' He says, trying to give me a hug, but I jump back. 'Good night!' I say awkwardly waving, and running back to the house, hoping that wasn't to obvious.

.

Darkness. All I could see was darkness. But somehow, I knew exactly where I was. I start walking towards a too familiar sound, which was getting louder with every step I took. It was the sound of a river. I want to run, but my feet are stuck. Suddenly, out of nowhere, my dad runs up to me. 'Dad!' I yell. 'Dad, are you okay? Where are they? Where are Max and Ivy dad? Mom! Where is mom?!' He stands still for a moment looking at me from head to toe.

'It's too late now.' He mutters.

Then he suddenly starts to cry. This is weird. I never saw my dad cry before. 'Too late for what dad? Dad?!' My dad doesn't listen to me anymore, and runs away. I try to take a step in the direction he came from which works. My feet aren't stuck anymore. I start running, hearing the river closer and closer till I can see it. It was a mighty river, very big and deep.

I hear a too familiar scream.
Then I see it.

Our car. It was sinking into the river. I could see my mother, my little sister and brother still sitting in the car. They were screaming at me. I could see the fear in there eyes. Just before I could jump into the river someone hold onto me. I start screaming, begging to let me go, but the person didn't.

I try to kick him, I scream and I cry, but nothing works. I looked back at the car, which was now almost under water. Ivy and Max were crying, holding onto each other. I looked at my mom, who was so white, her eyes were red, but didn't said anything. She just looked at me, and I looked back, crying, screaming that I loved her. She smiled and nodded once.
