Once in a lifetime.

Chapter 1: The Getaway

"Hurry we don't have much time..."

"I know, I know," said Josh, "I just... have to grab something."

Once he had whatever he was looking for, we booked it across the back lawn of the Lenman's house and headed towards the taxi cab on the west side of the block.

We shoved our stuff in the taxi and jumped in. "Whew that was close. NYC please," Josh whisper-shouted to the taxi driver over the roar of the cars passing by.
"I still can't believe it, the Big Apple, are you sure we're ready for this???"

"Yes." He responded a little too quickly maybe I was being paranoid, but lately Josh had seemed a little too tense.

"We are 18 aren't we??? We can do whatever. " I was still nervous. I mean I love Josh, but running away with him at such a young age... I just don't know.

"So... what's first?"

"Well, I haven't really thought about that." Great. We are running off into some unknown territory and he doesn't even have a plan???

When we arrived in New York City Josh and I got out of the car, first he headed straight for the hotel on 25th avenue.

"Where are you going? I thought the first plan was to get as much food as possible. "
I told him, suddenly unsure of what was going on.

"Uh, changed my mind. I just uh... thought it would be best to find a place to stay. One good thing about my Dad's job is that I can get a hotel anywhere for free."

"Uh... ok. We still need to find some food and a job soon, this money we collected won't last us forever."

Then, he nodded and walked off towards the hotel.
