Audrey Johnson P.O.V

It's been about 30 minutes and it's safe to say we are both feeling pretty high right about now. We're sitting on my bed, next to each other. With our backs against the wall. Giggling. We've been texting/talking, playing twenty questions. I'm hyper aware of how our knees occasionally brush past eachother.

Nick:
What's your favorite color?

Audrey:
Come on Nick. Ask me something deeper than that haha. We've only been having small talk, and I hate small talk.

Nick types out a question quickly. As if there had been something hes been wanting to ask me, though he hesitates before sending it. He almost decides against it all together, but doesn't.

Nick:
How did you get that busted lip?

I look over to him quickly, to find he was already looking at me. His face stern but soft.

I have to lie. Obviously. The last time I tried to tell someone, nobody believed me. I cant risk that, not when im this close to turning 18. To finally escaping.

Audrey:
Nothing. I Just tripped.

He sighs loudly after reading my message. He lays his head back against the wall, looking up towards the ceiling.

"Why do I get the feeling that you're lying to me." He whispers softly. leaving me slightly stunned.

I mean, nobody has ever looked at my life this closley; or like, cared about me in the ways Nick has shown. That being said, he still doesnt know my life. Or what I go through. Even if he did; what could he do to help?

I look at him to find his eyes already fixed on me.
"Please?"

Audrey:
I think you should go.

"Im not going to leave you here if you're not safe, Audrey." He says sternly.

Audrey:
You dont know anything, and even if you did. You cant save me. So just stop trying.
I respond too quickly.
