The Run Away

Run Away 1

Taylor never really enjoyed her life. She didn't have friends. She didn't have anyone to talk to. Her parents abused her, mentally and physically. They always reminded her how worthless she was. She couldn't help but believe it at this point. It wasn't just her parents. She was always getting bullied at school. She doesn't understand why they don't like her, they don't know the real her.

It's currently 3:24 AM 'I can't take it anymore' she thought as she was sitting in the middle of her bed with tears streaming down her face. When she had the energy she eventually got up and grabbed her bags. She shoved her clothes in her bag angrily as tears were still falling down her cheeks. She grabbed her money she had been saving for over 3 years. She jumped out her window and thankfully her room was on the 1st floor. She didn't bother to leave a note or anything as her parents didn't care what happened to her.

Taylor was walking down the street with the slight wind hitting her face as she walked and the colorful lights shined on her face as the cars passed by. She started getting hungry and thirsty and saw a gas station in the distance. She headed towards the gas station and reached it in no time.

She went into the store and gave the guy at the register a smile. She walked to the chips aisle and saw only one more of her favorite chips were left; as she reached for it she felt another hand grabbing the chips.

"Oh sorry about that you can have it." Taylor said.

"No no, it's ok I can just get something else." The stranger said. As she looked Taylor up and down noticing she looked pale and a little frightened.

"Um, My name is Mia." The girl now known as Mia said as she held out her hand to shake.

"Oh, I'm Taylor, it's nice to meet you, are you here alone?" She said as she shook her hand.

"I'm actually here with a friend. We got bored. Why are you all alone and you look pale, are you ok?" Mia asked as she looked at her with concern written all over her face. Mia scanned her body and noticed how unbelievably skinny she was.

"Um, I-I'm fine, thanks but i'm going to go now." Taylor let out while stuttering as she tried to walk away. Before she could get away Mia grabbed her wrist. She turned around and saw that Mia saw the bruises and cuts on her arm from her parents.

"Hey why don't you come with me? You look sick right now. Do you have anywhere to go?" Mia said, genuinely wanting to help the small girl.

"N-no I don't, but you're not going to kidnap me or anything are you?" Taylor questioned half serious and half jokingly.

Mia laughs a little before saying,

"Haha, I promise i'm not, you can hangout with me and my friend." Mia said as she was walking to the register. "Hey don't you want anything? I know you didn't come in here for nothing. Get whatever you want I can pay." Mia said while looking down at the girl.

"You really don't have to, you letting me hangout with you is enough plus I have money I can pay for myself, but thank you." Taylor said as she went to get the snacks she wanted and a beverage with it. They both paid for each of their stuff and left the store and Mia guided her to her car where her friend was waiting. The girl in the car looked really confused but Mia gave her a look telling her that it's ok. The 2 girls entered the car with Taylor in the back and Mia and her friend in the front.

"Ok soo, Ag this is Taylor my new friend, and Taylor this is Ag my best friend." Mia said, introducing them to each other.

"Hi I'm Annagrace, Ag for short, as you already heard." Ag said, holding her hand out for her to shake as she was introducing herself.
