The Runaway Girl

chapter nine

We all walk out of the bathroom before lunch ends so no one is curious as to why Jace and Ryan were in the girls bathroom. I stuff my old clothes into my bag and shut my locker. I sigh knowing that I'm gonna end up facing her again today. "Look on the bright side, we only have 1 hour left until school is out." Eden says giving me a small smile.

The bad thing is I have a fashion designing class and she'll possibly be in there. "My last class is with her." I adjust my straps on my back, and they all give me this "we have a totally bad-ass idea"

Ryan and Jace smirk at each other before grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the doors to leave. "What? We can't leave, we can get in trouble." I say pulling away from their grip. "Eden will cover for us, she knows where we're going so she'll be there soon." He says reassuringly. These boys got my wrapped around their fingers.

"How do I know you guys aren't serial killers and you guys are gonna lock me in you're secret layer?" I say with raised eyebrows. They both let out a chuckle, "If we did that, we would've done it a long time ago." I shake my head, of course they would. Ryan pulls me to a black and gray corvette. My jaw instantly jobs and my eyes go wide. "Close you're mouth gorgeous, you might catch flies." He says touching my chin and closing my mouth. I shiver at his touch and soon come back to reality when I'm pulled into the front seat.

I buckle my seat beal, and Ryan sends me a smile. "You ready?" I sigh and nod my head. Where is this boy taking me? 10 minutes pass by and we pull into a driveway. Trees and beautiful flowers are along the side making the drive up here enjoyable. When the house comes into view my heart instantly fell in love. "This is you're house?" I mumble unbuckling my seat belt. "Yep, you like it?" Ryan saying coming to my side and opening the door.

"Thank you," I say giving him a smile. He nods in understandingly and fiddles with his key to find the right one to open the door. "What are we even doing here?" I hear Jace say as we walk inside. The house was just as beautiful and as the outside, clean and fresh. I walk into the living room and sit on one of the leather couches, I soon feel like I'm floating on a cloud it's so comfortable.

On my right is a absolutely stunning family photo, the perfect family. Mom, Dad, Ryan, and his younger sister smiling happily at the camera. A small smile appears on my face as I look at how happy they are. "Aria, you want something to drink?" Ryan yells from the kitchen. "Uh yea, I'll take a water please."

My phone vibrates with a text from "Mom" going out tonight, I have a cookout that I have to attend to at 7. I dropped by the store and grabbed dinner for you, just throw in the oven. I love you so much! Stay safe and LOCK ALL DOORS!! I quickly reply, ok awesome, I might go out tonight with my new friends so you don't have to worry. Love you too<3

Ryan comes in the living room and sits down next to me handing me my water bottle. "Thanks," I sit there uncomfortably while he's staring at me smiling, from the corner of my eye and can see the smile disappearing as he realizes that I moved a little so I wouldn't be so close.

"Are you—?" I cut him off, "I'm fine still a little pissed though."

We sit there in silence until we hear the doorbell rings, Ryan goes to the door before it's busted open by a very angry Parker.
