Things Happen (DISCONTINUED)

Runaway

Joey's POV

Sid called me and said "It's time" and hung up. Right now I'm on the way to his house because I have no idea what he means. Right before I left Sid texted the group chat and said "bring ur masks bitches" and that was it. No "Peace and Chicken Grease" or anything. Quite suspicious. I was about a block away when I saw a girl with brown and red hair skateboarding. She was wearing a Slipknot hoodie, and a bracelet with black and red beads on it, and in the middle of the beads it had a bead that said #1 on it. It was pretty cool to be honest. I'm hoping I see her around.

We were all waiting on Paul when we heard the door open and see him and the girl from before talking. "Hey Ari, I see you met Paul." Sid grinned at them slyly. "Sid, I remember Paul and Paul remembers me. I don't know if..." all of a sudden, Ari went silent and she looked at me. It was like she was staring into my soul and holy fuck was it hot. Wait, did I just think that? Whatever. What she did next was what caught me off guard. She hugged me and yelled my name. She was so happy. I remember the last time I saw her, she looked so depressed, almost broken. I don't remember much about Ari, now that I think about it. I hugged her back and said "I missed you Ari. I really missed you." Then I felt something wet on my shoulder. She was crying. I myself was starting to tear up, but I held my tears back.

Ari's POV

I can't believe it! I got to see Joey and Paul again! Your probably wondering why I started crying when I saw Joey versus when I saw Paul. Well in all honesty I had a little crush on Joey and I kinda still do. I was crying tears of joy. I mean, who wouldn't? Sure I'm 27, single as a Pringle, and the year is 2004. What else could go wrong? I'm crying into my crush's shoulder and he isn't pushing me off of him, but I can sense people staring at me,so I quickly finish my crying and get off of Joey. I turn around and see 6 other people that I don't know so I dart to my room, not in the mood to socialize after they watched me cry.

After sitting around for like 10 minutes, I go to my bathroom and grab scissors. My hair is pretty long but I don't fell like letting someone else do it for me, so I cut it myself.

30 minutes later and I've given myself a pixie cut. (If you don't like it, then deal with it) It actually looks good. I decided to dye my hair again, but this time it's gonna be different.

I ended up dying my hair purple because why not?
Since that took a while I decided what I was gonna do. Be annoying. To do that I grabbed one of the most essential things to my plan: my drumsticks. I grabbed them and went into the room that has my drum set in it and started playing Chop Suey! By System of a Down.

After I was done, no one had come up to see what was happening, so I decided to play Eyeless by Slipknot. Nothing. I started to get pissed off so I played Nobody's Listening by Linkin Park. That seemed to start to tick Sid off because he came in here and slammed the door open when I was halfway threw the song.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?" He yelled, without processing what just happened.

"Maybe you would know if you actually gave a shit about me Sid. Remember when you broke your ankle and I came to visit you? I actually cared. Where were you when I broke my arm? Where were you when I needed you the most? That is what you should be thinking about. I get that your friends are over, but you could of at least come to see what I was doing when I went to my room about an hour ago. What if I was dead Sid? You wouldn't know until a few days, maybe weeks later. My point is that you don't care about me Sid. I've always been picked on and you were never there to help me. Maybe you would be happy if I was gone, so goodbye Sid."

I ran out of the room where Sid was and I ran to my room and locked the door. I put on my Slipknot hoodie and grabbed my camo backpack and put stuff that I would need in there. Band tees and hoodies, band-aids, my phone charger, toothbrush and toothpaste, iPod and iPod charger, drumsticks, my mask,and some money. Luckily my bag wasn't too heavy. I put on my black and camo vans and I opened my window. I sighed and unlocked my door grabbing my skateboard I dived out of the window and landed in the bushes.

Luckily I wasn't hurt. I grabbed my skateboard and ran. Once I was a safe distance I started skating to Adam and Ada's house. Sid wouldn't suspect me to go there since it's so far away. Did I feel bad about running away? Kinda. Do I care? No. I do kinda feel bad for showing up to their house unannounced, but they have a drum set there and Sofie and Carlos don't so I can still play if I want to. I haven't been to Adam and Ada's house since after they went on their honeymoon. Right before I was able to knock, Ada pulled me inside.

"Did you runaway? Omg you did, didn't you! Ari you can't do this any-" I cut Ada off. "Ada, you don't understand, Sid fucking hates me. He didn't check on me when I didn't do anything for over an hour, I ended up doing this to my hair and I'm pretty sure he hates it, he hates when I play the drums, he ignores me all the time, do I need to go on? Look, all I ask is that you don't tell Sid where I am. Please?"
"Fine Ari, but only because you're the reason I met Adam in the first place." "Thank youuuuu!!" "Yeah yeah whatever, you know where you're room is." I smiled at Ada and went upstairs. I did it. I can't believe it. I finally had the courage to runaway.
