I ran and ran until my feet ached
"Sam?.."I heard a voice say in the distance
"What?" I asked back
"It's me Annabelle"she answered I could see her more clearly now the moon made her look like crystals reflecting rays of light
"Hey..um"I didn't know what to say I looked down
"Sam the police... they are searching if your running away... I'm coming too" she replies
"Why you have a perfect life with all your little make up"I felt kinda bad about saying that
"No..actually my mum forces me to wear it and other than that they don't give a crap about me so don't judge a book by it's cover!"she directs
"Sorry... I don't have any money anyway so I can't go to my mum" I said
"Your mums dead remember?" She replies looking confused
I told her about the letters and my dad lying to me
"Hey I forgot to tell you I stole this"she shows me a credit card and $500 in cash
"Woah... how'd you get that?" I asked
"My dad's wallet"she gave me a wink and We headed to the bus stop
