Brad Pov

"Okay.." I said slowly wondering why they were so mad.

"Why are you seeing her? Why are you betraying your family?" My mom asked as she paced around the living room.

"What? Betraying my family? What are you talking about mom?" I asked as I stood up.

"Sit down." My dad said boldly. I haven't heard him speak to me like that since I was little. I sat down in a instant.

"Now, why are you seeing this Audrey human? Huh?" My mom said as she leaned up against the railing of the stairs.

"Because she is my girlfriend." I said as I looked at them. My mom gasped and my dad just walked away.

"Claire , we should just tell him. If we tell him, he wouldn't want anything to do with her. " My dad said as he ran his fingers through his hair and paced the floor just like my mom.

"No Paul. We can't. Not right now." My mom said simply.

"Will someone tell me what's going on?" I asked with a attitude in my voice.

"Yeah. You are forbidden to see this Audrey girl." My mom said.

"What the fuck. This is ridiculous!" I yelled as I stood up.

"Sit down." My dad said boldly.

"No! How about you sit down. I'm not going to sit down. You are going to tell me I can't see the girl I love because of something that happened between her parents and you two." I yelled.

"Bradley Will Simpson! Go to your room!" My mom screamed.

"Gladly." I said simply. I stomped up the stairs, slammed my bedroom door, and locked it.

I pulled out my old journal from my middle school days back in England. My Language Arts teacher gave it to me so I could express how I felt. Ever since then I just wrote down quotes that described how I felt. My last entry was after Audrey and I's first couple dates. I wrote:

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weakness. - Ann Landers

The one I wrote now was:

We boil at different degrees - Clint Eastwood

I closed my book and I closed my eyes. I tried to not to let my anger get the best of me at times but I couldn't help it. I threw my book across the room and went to my closet. I got a huge duffle bag and put all of my clothes and all of my personal stuff inside . I got a separate bag and stuffed my shoes inside. I grabbed my book bag and stuck my phone charger, laptop charger, and laptop. I grabbed my skateboard and strapped it to my book bag. I stuffed my phone into my jacket pocket and slid a beanie on my head. I threw both of my bags out of the window , I got my car keys off the night stand. I climbed through the window and onto the tree.

I made my way down the tree and grabbed my bags. I threw them in the trunk and shot Audrey a text.

Me: Where are you?

Your Girlfriend: At my house. Why ?

Me: I'm coming to pick you up. Pack up everything you need.

Your Girlfriend: Am I coming back?

Me: If you want to yeah, but if you don't no.

Your Girlfriend: I don't want to come back.

Me: Bring everything. I'll be there in 20. I'm getting Chipotle.

Your Girlfriend: You know what I want. See you in a little bit. Love you.

Me: Love you too.

I quickly stopped by Chipotle and I stopped by the bank. I withdrew half of my money and kept the other half on my card. Luckily I have been having summer jobs and I saved up my money, so I don't have to rely on my parents that much. After 20-25 minutes I pulled up to Audrey's house.

Me: I'm outside. Climb out of the window.

Your Girlfriend: Okay.

I had already packed up my stuff and I was ready to go. I locked my bedroom door and waited for Brad to come. When he texted me and told me to climb out of the window, I was a little hesitant, but then I remembered there was a little ladder type thing connected to the side of the house below my window. I dropped my bags out of the window and Brad got out to put them in the car. I went through my window and climbed down the side of my house. Brad was waiting for me at the bottom. I hopped off the ladder and jumped into his arms. His warm lips pressed against mine. As soon as we touched, sparks began to fly.

"Babe, we should go. I know a perfect place to stay for a bit." Brad said as he whispered in my ear. I nodded my head and ran to the passenger seat of his car. He ran around the front and got into the drivers seat. Soon the car started up and we were off to only god knows where.

"Where is this place you were talking about?" I asked him as I skimmed through the radio stations until finding the right one.

"It's my friends house. His name is Dean." He said simply as his eyes were glued to the road.

"Oh okay. Where does he go to school?" I asked. I know I was asking too many questions, but I at least wanted to know where we were going.

"He isn't in school babe. He is an adult." He said as he chuckled a bit.

"Oh okay." I said simply.

"It's okay babe. He is a friend of the family. He knows everything that has happened and has been here since I was born. If anything we can figure out what happened between our families and make things right." He said as he grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I looked over at him and his jaw clenched. I leaned over and kissed he cheek. As soon as my lips touched his face, he turned red. I giggled.

"Baby, where is my food?" I asked when I realized my stomach was growling.

"It's in the back seat." He said simply. I reached behind the seat and got the Chipotle bag. I pulled out my burrito and my water. I was halfway through the burrito when I realized we pulled up to a unusually large house.

"Well what does he do for a living?" I said as I swallowed the rest of my food.

"He is a documentarian filmmaker." Brad said as he got out of the car and ran around to my side of the car in order to open my door. I wrapped the rest of my burrito up and got out of the car. Brad grabbed my hand and led me to the front door. Brad rang the door bell and we both stepped back.

We heard footsteps coming towards the door. The door unlocked and Dean's face looked shocked.

"Bradley? What are you doing here?" He asked as he came out of the house. He was only wearing a white t-shirt, blue pajama pants and brown slippers. His hair was blondish brown and it was pushed back out of his face, like he just woke up.

"We need help." He said simply.

"Alright, what do you need help with?" Dean asked as he crossed his arms.

"We need a temporary place to stay and help uncovering what happened between my parents and her parents." He said as he squeezed my hand tight.

"Hmm. I think you guys can share a guest room. We can start everything in the morning, but in the mean time, make yourselves at home." Dean said as he went to Bradley's car and got my 3 bags out, while Bradley got his 3.

"My name is Audrey by the way. I think it's really nice of you to let us stay here and help us." I said as Dean put the last bag in the guest room.

"It's no problem at all. Just make yourself comfortable." He said as he put a hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks again." I said to him as he walked out of the bedroom. Brad was taking a shower in the hallway bathroom because he wanted me to take a shower in here.

I got in the shower , washed my hair and body. I got out and put on some basketball shorts and a tank top. I threw my hair into a bun and put on some socks. I lotioned up and came out of the bathroom to see Brad sitting on the edge of the bed, brushing his hair. I climbed up onto the bed and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Brad, you know our parents are going to have a fit when they find out we left." I said.

"I don't care. As long as I'm with you , nothing even matters." He said as he kissed my cheek.

"Well let's get some sleep." I said as I went to get underneath the blanket. Brad joined with me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer towards him as he put his head into my neck.

Why did Brad's mom say " That Audrey Human"? And oooooh they ran away and went to Dean's house. What do you think Dean knows? Do you think he knows everything or nothing at all? Comment, vote, and share this story with your friends. Thanks for reading. I love you all !
