A Daylight Ride chp.37

CHAPTER 37

I was in my room quickly stuffing things into my duffel bag. I had packed clothes, necessities, and a little bit of food just in case Jace and I couldn't get to Daniel right away. I grabbed my phone charger and stuffed it into the bag and zipped it up. 'Done' I thought to myself. I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. My parents deserved to know why I was doing what I was doing.

Dear Mom and Dad,

           

I'm really sorry for it all to have to come to this but I can't stay here with you guys anymore. Please don't take this the wrong way and don't get mad at me but I'm doing this for the right reason. I'm running away with Jace. I know you two think that Jace is a bad influence on me but what happened that night wasn't Jace's fault and I would have thought you thought I was more responsible than that. Anyway, I'm running away with Jace because I love him and I can't be away from him any longer. I know you might say that he doesn't love me or he's just using me but honestly, Jace has been stuck in a cell his whole life, why would he try to use me? I love Jace and he loves me too and we need to be with each other and we'll do whatever it takes to make that happen. Please don't get sad over this. This time, it's my choice to leave everything behind and I'm doing it for love. Think about it, if either one of you two were separated from the other, and was forced not to be together, what would you do? Would you put up with the pain and sorrow or would you do whatever it takes to be with the love of your life? Think about it.

                        Much Love,

                                    Carmen

P.S: please don't try to find me and stop me because if you do, you'll just push yourselves further away from me and we both don't want that. I love you guys and I don't like your decision but forcing me to do something that puts me through this much pain just isn't worth the effort. You won't have to deal with that anymore. I'm sorry it had to come to this. I love you both, don't ever forget that. Goodbye

 

 

 

I put down the pen and folded the paper in half writing Mom and dad on the top. A tear left my eye and it fell on the paper. I sighed and placed the paper on my neatly made bed. I grabbed my duffel bag and slipped out the window. I ran out the street and took one last look at my house. I sighed; I would be with Jace now. That's all that mattered.

I took a cab back to the foster home and paid the driver when I got there. I stepped out of the cab and he sped off. I walked to the side of the building and saw the fire escape. Jace would probably come on this side.

I walked around the building to the back so I could see the side of the fire escape. It was dark out besides the faint light of the lamps on the building so it was kind of creepy standing behind the building.

I shivered and pulled my jacket tighter around me. I looked at my watch and saw it was five till seven. I hope Jace showed up soon, I didn't want to have to stand here much longer.

A little while later I felt two strong hands circle around my waist and a chin rest on my head. I smiled and turned around expecting to see Jace.

I screamed when I saw it was another boy. He looked like he was seventeen or eighteen.
