The Runaways

The Runaways: Chp 9: Money Maker

Jacobs P.O.V

A few good 20 minutes down the road, I had just got done explaining how I got the car. Olivia couldn't stop laughing, "I can't believe you stole this!". I laughed along, "I can't believe I did that!". Our car sped down the road. The wind blew through both of our hair. I felt so free and in control of my life. Maybe this was a good idea. I slowed down as we came to the "Welcome to Las Vegas sign". Olivia smiled and grabbed our portable camera, "take a picture of me by the sign baby!". Her smile was so cheeky , as she laid on the hood of our new car. I snapped mutiple photos. Damn she was so beautiful. I placed my hand on her thigh and began rubbing it. Her skin was so soft, but I could feel her goose bumps growing. Her hand was supporting her head. She smiled at me and put her free hand up my shirt, feeling on my abs. Suddenly she leaned in towards me, as If she was going for a kiss, but sat back down.

"your such a tease" I chucked , put my hands back on the wheel, and continued driving. "let's see what they were listening to". She opened the glove department and grabbed a tape. "Oh look Jakey they have Fever by Peggy Lee!!". She jumped up in down in the passengers seat. I snapped my fingers and bobbed my head to the music. She leaned over to me and he lips pressed against my ear.. "fever". Her body swayed from side to side. I grabbed her head, and placed a kiss on her forehead. This was going to be a good ride. 

Jacobs Mother P.O.V

Cops: "I'll call the office and see if we can track Jacob's father down". I sat down on the coach, trying my hardest to take in what just happened. Why would he run away from me.?. I gave him life, I took care of him, fed him, bought him whatever he wanted. Did I push my own blood away? Something just isn't right . . "

Cops: "well I just got off the phone with the office and they said his father has been in jail for 3 years now". I shook my head in despair, "then where is my baby??!". The officers took of their hats, "we don't know yet ma'm but you have wait 24 hrs to report you child missing, just to make sure he's really gone". Suddenly there was a knock at the door. The cops ran towards the door and there stood Olivias mother [Ms. Mathews ]  

Mama Austin : "umm... what are you doing here Ms.Mathews?". She sat down at the coach with tears running down her cherry pink cheeks, he eyes were super puffy. She put her hands over her face, then looked back up. 

Ms.Mathews : "Olivia is missing, her step dad had gotten so upset with her that he went into his room. . .locked the door . . and beat her scrowny ass" She began crying even harder. "I tried opening the door but it was no use".

The cops stepped in, "sorry for interrupting but do you know her daughter and your son were close friends?".

She looked up at the cops with a ugly look on her face. "of course you couldn't keep them apart . . were two peas in a pot. . .I hated it. That little thing knew my own daughter better than me. So one day I stopped them from seeing each other. HUGE mistake... she erased me from her life and leaves every night" 

Sudden anger flew through my veins "HOW COULD YOU !?" I yelled. Now it all makes since...now wonder Olivia would come to my door every night with tears in her eyes, and beg to sleep on the couch That poor girl, she didn't deserve it"

Cops: "this is worst...well report a amber alert and see if we can get this case moving". We nodded our heads in agreement and everyone left.

The clock hit 12:00, as I laid in Jakes bed. My life was dead, I had no husband and now no son?. So many things ran threw my head. The rest of the family doesn't even know about this. I reminisced him dancing and singing as a child. I felt like a piece of my life had been snatched away. Everything felt black and white, and things moved more slower. I snuggled closer to the cold side of the pillow. Please bring my Jacob home

Jacob's P.O.V

The sweet but soothing sound of Robin Thicke filled the car as I drove down the strips of Las Vegas with Olivia by my side. I put my arm around her as the warm breeze hit our faces. I glanced over at her, she was admiring the view. I found myself smiling, being around her made me feel all happy inside. 

"where are we off to now.?" I ask her. She looks over at me and gives me a soft smile. 

"I've been thinking about going shopping" she says to me, as she lays her head on my shoulder. I run my fingers through her soft silky hair

I sigh "we don't have any money though" I say. I felt her hand rub my chest 

"I can make that happen if you can get us a map of Las Vegas" she says. I nod my head and continued driving. I soon pulled over and got out of the car. There was stand on the corner with news papers, magazines, maps, ect. I grabbed the news paper and looked at the "missing children" tab. Good.... Our pictures are not in the paper yet. I seen Olivia get out the car and sit down on a bench. There was a lady talking on the phone with her left hand and a bunch of bags on the right. She looked very busy and was in deep conversation. Olivia looked around and slowly put her hand in the ladies purse. Quickly she pulled out her wallet then tucked it in her pants. I ran and got in the car, as she followed along. Immediately, I pulled off and we continued driving the strips.

I handed the map and a marker to her, so she could mark our destination. 

"there's a thrift store on the Blvd called Savers, I know how you like shopping at thrift stores" she said drawing circles and dots on the map. I smiled to myself at the comment, she remembered how much I like thrift stores. I slightly glanced at the map, "that's a option"

"after we go shopping we can get a room at a Motel 6 -Tropicana" once again she circled the information, and I nodded my head in agreement. She suddenly got quiet and put the marker and lap down. I glanced over at her, "you okay ?". She look up at me, the sun shined brightly in her face. "I'm fine". I wrapped my free arm around her, "I'll get you some sunglasses." We continued riding while bobbing our head to Frank Ocean's "Swim Good". 

Olivia's P.O.V

The wind was blowing softly on the both of our faces as we got out of the car. The thrift store was actually pretty big and threw the window you could see rows and rows of nice things. I settled my warm hands on his arm, rubbing it as he looked at me, smiling. I smiled back as he placed a smooch onto my forehead. 

We walked into the shop and a nice old counter lady gave us a warm smile. We both nodded our heads at her, as he placed me into one of the stores carts. "Shopping spree?" I asked. He looked down at me, and shook his head playfully, "you aint about that life". I whipped my hair in his face and heard him coughing jokingly from behind. I jumped out of the cart and began running threw the isles, "come and find me!!". I ran all the way to the back of the store and hid inside the medal clothes rack waiting to be found. I stayed in there for about 3 minutes until I finally came out. The store was silent and Jacob was no where to be found. 

"Jake . . where are you. . ? " Suddenly I felt hands wrap around my waist ; it was Jake. I placed my arms over his and snuggled closer to him. I felt his warm body against mine, this moment felt so perfect. Why cant I just tell him how I really feel? I let go of him at the thought, he looked kind of confused. "are you okay?" he asked. I tugged on my sleeve, "yeah I'm fine....'
