Dear future me,

The craziest thing happened. Brad showed up at my front door. I can't believe it. The only problem is, where Brad goes, Chandler also goes. I don't want to see him again. 

Until next time,

Sophia

You know how they say that when you're scared you either "fight or flight"? Yeah well, I chose flight.

I got up and ran right out of Culvers. I heard Brad calling my name but kept going. I didn't even pay attention to where I was going, but I didn't care. I just wanted to be away from him.

I ended up in the park, it was getting dark out, but not too bad. I was breathing really hard so I say down on a bench facing the river.

After about half an hour of just sitting there, I took out my phone. I have 7 missed calls and 20 texts.

From Brad: Soph where'd you go?

From Brad: Soph call me, I'm starting to get worried.

There were more texts like that.

To Brad: don't worry I'm fine. I just needed to clear my mind.

From Simon: hey Soph, text me when your gonna come home.

From Simon: where are you?! Brad just came to the house looking for you. Call me.

To Simon: I'm fine. I'll be home in a bit.

I sigh and start walking towards home. It isn't that far away so it's alright.

When I get home I see Brad's car in the driveway. "Hey, guys I'm back," I yell and they come running into the room.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to post a picture of us on my story. Chandler saw it and came. It's my fault," He says giving me a hug.

"It's no big deal Brad, I'm alright. I just didn't want to talk to him." I say putting an emphasis on him.

"Wait till I see him next, he won't know what hit him," Simon growls, his eyes angry.

"No Simon, don't. There's no reason for it," I plead, walking over to him.

"Fine but I swear he better watch out." He says, sounding calmer.

"I'll talk to him," Brad says scratching the back of his head.

"Thanks, Brad, and you too Simon. I'm going to bed." I say yawning at them.

"Okay, good night Soph," Simon says.

"Night Soapie," Brad says giving me a hug. "I'll see you later."

Brad

As I pull into my driveway, I see Chandler is home.

"Hey, Chan I'm home," I yell, mom is working and so is dad.

"Hey man, where have you been?" He asks raising an eyebrow at me.

"Sophia's," I say.

"I can't believe she actually ran away." He says running a hand through his hair.
