Chapter 9 : A Runaway

***

*DARRY'S P.O.V*

I was causally reading the updated paper when i saw Pony in the corner of my eye, walk through the screen door.

"Pony. Where have you been? You scared us sick." Soda said jumping off the couch.

"I had to get away for awhile." Pony said as he walked straight into his room without eye contact.

"Ah-eh Pony. Get back in here." I added. Something was clearly wrong.

Pony walked back into the living room. He dazed off at his white converse that were wrapped around his feet. Still no eye contact.

"What's up?" Two-Bit asked, walking into the living room with a fresh chocolate cake in his hands.

"Pony thought it would be funny to run off and scare the living day light out of us." I said with my hands running through my puffy hair.

"I didn't do it to scare ya. I did it for my own good." Pony snapped back without hesitation.

"Where's Azia? Hasn't she been gone for a couple hours?" Steve walked in asking. interrupting our conversation.

"I haven't seen her since yesterday. But i thought maybe she was hiding in her room or something." Soda pitched in.

I looked over to see Pony as pal as a ghost. And there went Pony, running out the door again.

*PONY'S P.O.V*

I ran so fast i'm surprised i hadn't fallen off my feet.

I'm sure she was just at that one park. She loved it there. Something about that individual park made her happy. But i couldn't blame her, that park always had a weird impact on me and Soda too.

I ran under the monkey bars, scanning the park as i shivered from the breeze of air.

No Azia.

This is when i started to panic. The only place Azia would ever run off to was the park, and she was no where to be seen.

My body shook as the wind hit my back. I don't know how long it'd been but at least point i found myself walking around the neighborhood again.

I needed to find Azia, but i also had to look at the bright side of things.

I'm not a very negative person, so being down constantly just wasn't me.

Everything finally felt okay for wherever reason.

This is when i heard distant running from somewhere i couldn't place. I jerked my head to look around me.

Azia.

I started running, not knowing exactly where i was going but i had a feeling it was her.

Me being me, i was determined to find her.

My thoughts took over my head as i ran. It felt like i was forgetting my main focus, which was finding Azia.

I was so mixed up. I hadn't had anymore time to think before i saw a figure in the corner of my view come suddenly into place.

"Azia!" i screamed scrapping my feet to a holt. Either i was dreaming or she simply didn't hear me.

Maybe she was scared. I hadn't known what happened but seeing her in the condition she was in, something had to of happened.
