Gone and Free

Introduction

'I hate you guys so much! Kali runs off her mouth and never gets in trouble!'
'Kali is older than you Annie!'
'So she can just run her mouth to me as never get in trouble?'
'Young lady watch yourself.'
'Why? So I can get in trouble and get grounded while Kali goes off with her Phone and gets to do whatever!'
I was so mad.
I dropped everything and ran.
'Annie! Annie where are you going!?'
I ran out the front door.
It's pouring.
I still ran.
I ran until it was dark, and I couldn't move anymore.
I dropped.
I couldn't stay here.
I got up.
I ran some more.
I ran until I saw the sun coming up.
There was a group of boys.
They looked like runaways and near my age.
Slowly walking, I approached them.
When I was A few inches away from them, they noticed me.
'Um, Hi.' I talked slow
'Dude, Matt, that's the runaway.' The first boy said.
The first boy was somewhat short. He was wearing a pitch black hoodie, and gray sweatpants. He had his hood up, so I really couldn't see his hair. But I could see a little and I think it was a blondish/Grayish. He had on black Vans with A black backpack next to him.
'Are you the runaway?'
I looked to the one who spoke.
He had on a dark blue shirt. With regular jeans. He had brownish boots on. I didn't study their face too much, but he was cute. His hair was a dirty blonde. I liked that color.
'Whats a runaway?' I decided to ask.
The first guy pulled out his phone and showed me a picture.
It was me.
The picture he showed me was a picture of me.
'How do you have this?'
'Because. You ran from your house. This photo is everywhere. Everyone has it. People are looking for you.'
I couldn't stop staring at the first boy.
'What? No. They don't care.'
'Hey.'
I looked to the third boy. He was the hottest of all three.
'Hi.'
My voice was low. My family was looking for me.
The third walked toward me.
Everything was going blurry.
He grabbed me right as I was falling.
Everything went black.

A few hours later

I opened my eyes and the boys were around me with an older girl.
'Hi sweetie. Are you Annie?'
The older girl asked me.
I tried to speak, but I couldn't.
I ended up nodding yes.
'Okay, Annie. I'm Meg.'
She looked to the boys.
The first one spoke.'I'm Dan.'
I looked to the other two.
The hot one ( third one) spoke,'I'm Matt.'
Okay so Dan was speaking to him outside.
'Since he isn't going to say anything. That's Alex,' Meg told me while pointing towards the second boy.
'We are all runaways. We all have different names, but these are out names. I'm 17. Alex is 12. Dan is 14. And Matt is 13. We all ran away from our family. I think Matt wanted to talk to you. So we will leave you alone.' Meg winked and pushed Alex and Dan out the room. She turned and looked at both of us before she Walked out and shut the door.
'I'm Matt. And you are no longer Annie. You need to choose a different name.'
'Haley.'
'That was fast.' He stared at me, unsure of my answer.
'Yes it was. But I'm sure.'
He smiled and said,' You're cute.'
I started to blush. 'Thank you. And you're cute too.'
He moved closer to the bed I was in and held out his pinkie.
'Promise me that you'll stay with us. Promise me you won't go back.
That you'll be Haley forever. That you'll be mine and that we will make a living together and be together. Maybe not right now but we will. Can you promise me?'
I didn't even know this guy, but my gut said yes. I shook my head a we locked Pinkies. A pinkie promise is a promise not to break, it's a promise that I believe in.
Me and Matt will grow strong, maybe not right now, but we will.
