Serena's POV

I sprinted down the dark streets of Gotham. It was raining outside, and I was in a t-shirt and sweatpants. I knew I wouldn't last a night. I didn't care though. I hated Uncle Jim. He ignored all of my Dad's texts and calls. He acted like we didn't exist.

I had been running for at least 15 minutes straight when I bumped into something hard.

"Ow." I groaned.

"Watch it." A girl growled.

I looked up and a girl about a year older than me stood there.

"I'm really sorry. I ran away and-" I started.

"Save it." The girl growled and began to walk away.

"Wait!" I grabbed her arm.

"Please! Let me stay the night with you. I have no where to go. Please. And then I'll be gone, I swear." I pleaded.

"Will you let go of my arm if I said yes?" She asked.

I grinned, tears falling down my face. I must have looked like a wet dog in the rain.

"Yes." I cried.

"Then fine." She said.

I let go.

"But only one night." The girl warned.

I nodded.

"I'm Serena." I said.

"Selena." She said.
