*Lacey Rose Keating's POV*
I just ran. I didn't think. I know I should have, I know it could cause more problems for me but I had no choice. I knew no one left my old life alive, no one left them alive. But I had. I had got away and now... Now I was running for my life.
I couldn't be far from the airport now and I am glad I had the stamina to keep running for as long as I have and as fast as I have. I pushed my self to run faster but as my legs began to ache I knew I didn't have much energy left. I was tired I would admit, no exhausted. It had been so difficult, how I had to run for what felt like hours but I knew I could get there. I could get there just in time.
My senses were as sharp as ever as I kept my eyes open for them. I was running so fast now but still able to keep balance and dodge anyone who was in my way. I made sure to keep watching the surrounding area and listening for anything out of the ordinary. I had to make sure they were no where to be found. That they weren't following me.
I breathe a sigh of relief as I enter the airport and waste no time in quickly buying a ticket to London and getting through security. I must have looked slightly crazy, I was sure I was sweating and panting like a dog as I sped through the airport towards my boarding plane.
It was only when I had sat down on the plane that I had fully understood what I had just done. What I had accomplished but so foolishly done without any sort of plan. I was fucked. I knew it and that's what got me thinking.
What was I going to do? I hold my hands to my face as I try to think but I am interrupted as someone sits beside me, I take no notice of who it is but I know I tense up immediately.
'Hi, are you okay?' His voice sounds calming and assuring and so I take a chance at looking up at him.

'Er yeah, a lot on my mind you know. Don't worry' I smile politely
'Mhm well try not to over think that's what caused all my wrinkles' he jokes and I can't help my self from sharing a brief smile with him
'I will try not to, thank you.'
'So my dear, care to tell me your name? We will be on a flight for a few hours'
'Er Lacey, you are?'
'Oh I'm Mark, nice to meet you. You visiting family in London?' He continues to smile politely having no idea what that question does to me
'No er don't really have a plan. Wanted a change and I left so quickly I didn't think about anything else, obviously now I'm panicking. What about you?'
'Oh dear, spontaneous thing you are. I run a music record company and so I am going to London to try and find some new talent, you don't sing do you?' He jokes but be soon turns serious when he sees my face light up
'Er yeah I do actually, I dont want to annoy you though. But I do have one of my songs on my phone if you can listen?' I question warily
He smiles kindly and takes the phone from my out stretched hand. 'The top one? People like us?' He questions
'Yeah erm I wrote it, it's not great but I wanted to try' (okay so just pretend that she wrote it. Love the song, this is what he will hear-- have a listen)
I watch his face as he listens to the song, I can feel my heart beat increasing with nerves. By the end of the song he silently pulls the head phone from his ear and faces me.
'You hated it right? Oh god I am so sorry for wasting your time. I get it, it's okay I should have known- '
He cuts me off by laughing out my name and smiling. 'This is amazing. Lacey you have a serious talent. The song is amazing it's so relatable to so many and don't get me started on your voice. God I'm so glad this trip wasn't a waste. I really hope you haven't got any plans because I want you to accompany me to my studio to meet your manager and set up a contract'
'Wait- what?! Just like that?! Are you sure?? OMG' my breath is almost gone, something like this doesn't happen to someone like me.
'Of course, when you find talent, you find it' I watch as he fiddles with his phone, it soon falls from his hands and before anyone can react my hand has jumped out and grabbed a hold of the phone before it could hit the ground.
I didn't really realise I had done it until I looked up and saw Mark gaping at me. I smile timidly and hand over his phone 'er I have really fast reflexes, I am really appreciative of this opportunity Mark'
'Thank you dear, my wife would have killed me it I had to get another phone. You don't need to thank me. Why don't you have a nap you look tired and I need you tip top for the meeting alright?!'
'Alright thank you'
I rest my head back against the seat in disbelief, something good is finally happening. And I couldn't be happier.
For the first time in 5 years I go to sleep with a smile on my face .
