ROAD RUNNERS

Part 8

⚠️mentions of suicide⚠️
TESSA'S POV:

Me, Laila, and Stevie are sitting down at a bench at a park waiting for Kenneth, David, Mosette, and Daisy to come back

Laila is laying down on the bench with her head in my lap as I run my fingers through her hair. I missed her so much and Im so happy to see her again

I was sent off to foster care and Laila was sent off to camp

*FLASH BACK*

I was sitting there on a curb while my mom talked to a lady dressed very professional but once they were done talking I was being pulled and put in a car

"Tessa!" I heard Laila scream after me

"Don't worry Laila ok I will find you!" I yelled back to her before they shut the door in my face and Lailas mom pulled her away

Her mom was always so creepy to me she always gave me a bad vibe when I was around her

"Wheres my mom going?" I ask while I see my mom get in her car and drive away

"um, your mom needs to focus on her self ok sweetheart?" The woman said

"What does that even mean?" I ask her "She shes going to get me right?" I asked upset because she left me here with strangers

"Honey your mom put you in foster care" The lady told me

"what" I asked not believing her

"She couldn't deal with the responsibility of having a kid" she told me, I wasn't surprised I mean she never cared for me anyways she just yelled at me get drunk and yell at me again calling me a fuck up or a mistake

*END OF FLASH BACK*

"Tess are you listening?" I heard Kenneth say not even realizing they were back

"what?" I asked

"We rented out a small two bed motel for the night" He told me causing me to nod

"Ok" I responded

STEVEN'S POV:

Were on our way to the motel and David hasn't left my side to make sure I don't run away again, I really don't run away for attention or anything but it's because its what I always did growing up in an abusive home

*FLASH BACK*

"DAMNIT KID YOUR ALWAYS FUCKING UP SOMETHING!" My dad yelled as he complained about the little water I spilled on the ground

"CLEAN IT UP NOW" He yelled

"ok I will" I said looking up to see David watching from the hallway

"ARE YOU TALKING BACK TO ME- YOU KNOW WHAT" He yelled as he raised his fist and punched me

"HEY!" David yelled pulling him off of me causing my dad to start hitting him and I got up

"GO! LEAVE!" David told me causing me to run and go to our secret spot that David found for us if things get bad which it always does

*END IF FLASH BACK*

DAVID'S POV:

I was walking next to Steven and I can tell he was lost in thought he never really talked much anymore but I don't blame him because when he did he would get hit and thats why I had to get us out

*FLASH BACK*

"Hey dad look I got a A+ On my homework!" Steven said, no matter how many times my dad will abuse us he always tried to get his approval
