DINGER HOLFIELD

I wanna give credits to another Dinger book recently.i got this idea from them but im not copying the exact things it just helped me think of this

Its called "Serendipity" by 'staygoldandstandbyme'

————————————————————————

This was crazy.

But then again...he made me crazy.

A million thoughts raced my head as i grabbed the nearest bag to me.i was holding my cream coloured phone under my ear with my shoulder.

"Hurry up ill be there in 10" the boy on the other end said in a hushed voice.

You see both me and this boys home lives were fucked.

Him mom was drunk every other day,his dad was no where to be seen so that really affected his character.
His loud mouthed personality was enough to make anyone roll their eyes but to me it just makes me smile.hes broken,were broken..together.

My moms not much different she doesnt give a shit about me.the only difference is that my dad is still around.he visits every couple of months to keep an eye out for my mom..more like seeing an opportunity for her to fuck up so i can go live with him in Jersey.

I dont want to leave,leaving would mean leaving my fucked up life but leaving also means leaving Dinger to suffer in his fucked up life so we decided the only reasonable thing that two sixteen year olds could think off. To run away.

I grabbed a pairsof jeans,a pair of sweats and a couple shirts.put my underwear and toiletries bag in a small pocket at the side.the bag was a decent size so fitting the clothes wasnt the problem.the problem was the fact im leaving and have no clue where im going to be staying for the next week.

A sigh left my lips as i grabbed my nike sneakers and placed them next to my bed,deciding it would be best to put them on outside.

I grabbed a couple scrunchies and decided it would be best to wait on my doorstep.it was around 11pm and my mom was already asleep.she always goes to sleep early on fridays,ready to be up late on the following night.

I walked slowly down my slightly creaky stairs and walked over to the fridge,grabbing two water bottles.i knew he wouldnt even think of this.

I had grabbed all my money before hand and even snuck a few twenties from my moms purse on the way out.i was hesitant at first but once id snuck the first,no guilt sat in the pit of my stomach so i took the second.

Shed only go and use it on alcohol
I told myself.

I slipped out of the white door and shut it as quickly but quietly as possible.i winced at the click it made and turned around to sit on the top step.

I sat down for a good 2 minutes before the boy i call my best friend walked up the pathway.he was wearing his famous army green jacket with blue jeans and a white tee under.he had gotten his cast of a couple week ago and could now walk normally.from this angle i could slightly see a black bag hanging off his shoulders.

I smiled as i stood from my sitting position and walked over in a slow pace.

"Hey sunshine" he always called me that.

"Hey dweeb" i joked while reaching up to ruffle his red hair.

"Ready to get out of here" he pointed behind him.i looked down slightly.

"Come on itll be fine i will look after you and if we get into trouble ill get us out" he grabbed my hand and pulled me away from my house.

"More like get us into trouble" i giggle while shaking my head.

"Well-lets not start this with us agruing.were gunna be spending a lot of time together" he reminded me.i turned back to look at the house one more time.

He must have noticed because he sighed.

"I dont want to force you into this,you know that y/n" we continued at a slow pace towards the bus station.

"Of course i wanna leave with you Dinger.." i said looking away.

"See you're avoiding eye contact,whats wrong" he said pouting.

"What will Lainie and Bobby think? Tomorrow theyre wake up and their best friends have vanished into thin air?" I shrugged as we neared the station.

"You dont need to worry about them,atleast we will be away from our shitty lives and living our teen years out to the fullest in god knows where" he reassured me.i nodded slightly.

"Fuck it..we can always come back right?" I asked as we sat down and waited for the 12am bus.

"Yeah of course" he said smiling widely.the bus came early due to no one really catching buses at midnight.

The bus came to a hault infront of us.

"Just you two?" The middle aged man asked while looking over at us.due to pure habit i grabbed onto Dingers arm.it was the middle of the night and we were about to be alone on a bus with a stranger.

"Yup" Dinger confirmed for the man as we get on.i was relieved to seen acouple sleeping people towards the back.

"Where abouts is your stop" the man asked as we stepped on.

"Lets just say we dont have an exact destination" Dinger smiled as we took a seat.i giggled and shook my head at him.

A sigh left Dingers lips as we sat down.

"You ready?" He asked turning to me.

"As ready as ill ever be" i looked to my left out the window at the dark night,saying a silent goodbye to my home town.
