Runaway

Chapter 19

I stand up and run out of the cave. My name is once again called out.

"We're over here!" I yell back. Minutes later I was pulled into a strong embrace. It was Trey. He had found us.

"You scared me to death!" He says pulling away from the hug.

"Really, well I'm about to freeze to death if we don't leave soon!" I exaggerate.

I get Priya and Henry to walk outside. Trey's eyes land on the little boy.

"Hey," is all he said before we started walking out of the woods. Henry was silent the whole time. I kept hold of his hand so I didn't loose him in the dark.

For a 12-year-old He was quite small. You could think he was six or seven.

I look back ahead, Trey's truck was parked on the side if the woods. We hop in. Priya and Henry go in the back as I sit up front next to Trey. I caught Trey taking multiple glances back at Henry through the mirror.

"Hey Callie,do you have my phone?" Trey asks cutting off a little tension.

"No, Why would I have it?"

"I don't know, I can't find it." He sighs and concentrates on the road ahead.

Almost twenty minutes later we reached the house. Henry gasps when he sees the mansion.

We all walk inside. Me and Priya show him around. Ryder sat on the couch.

"I should go talk to him." She whispers. I simply nod.

I watch as she walks over to Ryder. Once he sees her, in one swift motion he pulled her onto the couch and he was now on top of her.

Before anything else could happen, I run with Henry until we reach his new room.I bend over, out of breath.

"Well...here...is.. your new....room," I say between breaths.

He opens the door and immediately his jaw drops. I smile.

"Do you like it?" I ask. He nods In response.

"How do you guys have this much money?" He asks, tilting his head to the side.

My mouth opens to answer but a knock was heard from the front door.

"I'll answer another time." I ruffle his hair. He playfully glares at me.

I walk downstairs and see multiple people. Some I knew but most seemed unknown.

I regonize Nora,Allie, and Triston. At least I think it was Triston, his hair was now blonde. Henry stood at the top of the staircase, Fear in his eyes. He looked as if he was having trouble breathing.

I look back at Trey. His jaw and fist were clenched. He was staring directly at someone whom I didn't regonize.I walk back up to Henry.

"Hey, it's okay. They're friends." I coo. "You can wait in the room if you want," I suggest. He shakes his head no before taking a deep breath and walks down the steps next to me.

Everyone looks our way. I walk over to Trey as everyone introduces themselves to Henry. After about an two hours or so after fixing everyones wounds, someone asked Henry about his past.

He looks down at his feet. He shuffles around uncomfortably.

"It started when I was a baby. I was taken from my real parents. They weren't nice but my next father figure wasn't any better." He pauses, lost of words.

"I couldn't bear the abuse any longer, so I ran away from him. And that's when I ran into you." A pang of guilt hits me.I notice Trey staring at him intently.

"Do you remember your real parent's name, or the other man's?" He asks. Henry nods.

"My parent's names are Chad and May. The next guy's name was David." Everyone gasps. Nora seems to tense up.

"Henry did you have any siblings?" Trey asks out of the blue. We all were lost on what he was implying.

"Yeah, an older brother Scotch I think." I burst out laughing and so does a few others.

"There's his new nickname Scotch," I giggle. Trey holds back his laughter. He looks back at Henry and his facial expression softens.

"We know who your brother is, just not where he is." We all start to smile

I look at Trey, he was the only one not smiling. Well him and that other dude. I raise an eyebrow at him. I drag Trey into an empty room.

"What the hell is wrong?"

"What do you mean?" He questions. I glare at him.

"You and that other guy, who is he?" I glare my arms around, confused about what is going on.

Trey sighs and looks off into the distance. Once we make eye contact again he answers.

"He is another gang leader. I don't know whether to trust him or not." I stare at him, agape.

"I think we can trust them. They saved our friends."

"You think?"

"I know." He hangs his head as we walk back out.
Nora approaches us.

"Do you mind if we stay, all of us?" I look up at Trey, giving him the puppy eyes.

He slaps his hand on his face. "Do i have a choice?"

"Nope." Nora squeals in happiness.

Once it was dark out, we show everyone where they would be sleeping. We all go to bed. Triston, and Henry were in one room. Nora and the girls in another, and the rest of the guys stayed in the living-room.

I head to me and Trey's room. He was already there. I jump onto him. I smile in victory as I get off and onto my side. He growls at me.

We finally settle down and fall into a peaceful slumber.
