Skylar's POV:

"Skylar, can we go now?" Beans whispers and the bright light starts getting closer, "Not yet." I reply trying to control my breathing.

*FLASHBACK

"Sage, can we go home please?" I ask as he pulled the car into an empty spot against the curb "Not yet come on let's go." Sage pops both our seat belts and I quickly get out of his car and he slams his door shut, then I follow him silently seeing his hands in fists with one gripping onto his jacket and his veins show on his arm. It's the one sure way I know he's furious, not upset, not pissed, not angry. Furious. We paced up to the police station and he forcefully flew the doors back not caring and many police officers stared at us. He stormed in and I stayed back, "Where is Dean Celestine!" Sage's fists hit the front desk and everyone flinched, including me.

"Sir, you can't just storm in here and demand a name." The man in blue uniform stood up meeting my brother's height and I know he doesn't like that. "I want to know where Dean Celestine is!" Sage still spoke in a stern voice and by now everyone was just carrying on with their day. "I can't give out that information Sir, I can't even give it to family." The cop sat back down and Sage starts pulling on his hair. Oh no.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY FUCKING FAMILY BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL SO FUCKING SHITTY ASS PEOPLE! I'M THE ONLY ONE HE HAS NEXT TO MY LITTLE SISTER! OKAY! NO ONE ELSE SO WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO TELL HUH?! IT'S ONLY US SO PLEASE TELL ME WHERE MY BROTHER IS!" His voice rips from his throat while continuously hitting the front desk. "I'm going to need back up in the lobby." A voice comes over an intercom and I know who it's for, "Sir you're under arrest for the destruction and disruption of and on public property." A cop comes around and I quickly open the main doors.

"Fuck! What no! No!" I see Sage back away from them eventually running over to me, "SIR GET BACK HERE!" Sage pulls me out of the building dragging me behind him. "Put this on!" He attempts to put his jacket over me but I swat his hands away putting it on myself falling behind a little. All of a sudden I feel myself get picked up and Sage continues running while carrying me and I wrap myself around him as he holds my back with one hand, "I'm fifteen I can run myself." I hit his back, "Sky cover your face." He tells me ignoring what I just said.

"STOP RUNNING FROM THE LAW! STOP OR I'LL SHOOT!" Multiple cops come after us some with guns in their hands, "Sage they're coming after us. Sage!" I hid my face in his neck, "I know, I know just hide your face okay we're gonna get out of here." He whispers to me out of breath.

*FLASHBACK ENDS

"Skylar, Skylar he's getting closer." I feel Beans pull the chains around my neck, "Right right." I blink a few times, fuck it's like Deja Vu. "Okay once he passes we're going to run back okay because we passed the car." I whisper to her and she nods but I know she's terrified right now. "Keep the hood on and hide your face." I tell her again and I adjust the hood trying to make it cover her face well. "He has a gun." She tells me, "Fuck his gun, I've ran from the cops enough to know how they shoot and they're shit okay, on me." I hold her hand and the cop's footsteps get closer.

A flash passes us and that's when I pull the both of us out of the corner and we make a run back to Sage's car, good thing Beans is fast. "HEY GET BACK HERE!" The voice answers through the street and I lift my free hand flipping the cop off as I let go of beans and I open up her door, "In. In. In." I repeat over until she got in and I shut the door, I slide over the hood getting into the driver's seat and I start the car hastily pulling out of our space, and the tires screech as I drive away from the cop and his car, I look in the rearview mirror seeing the light get smaller and smaller.

"Okay, you can take off the hood." I sigh sinking into the seat, I'm fucking beat. I glance to my side noticing her silence. "Are you okay?" I ask her starting to get concerned. "Oh my god, we just ran from a cop, WE RAN FROM A COP!" She squealed tapping her feet against the floor mat. "I can't believe we did that, that was so close but that was so much fun, we ran from a cop!" She pants with the biggest grin on her face and she turns to me, "I'm so glad your brother let you take his car." Oh, right this is his car. "He didn't let me take it, he actually doesn't know it's out right now but it's going to be fine." I think I'm trying to convince myself, he's going to fucking kill me. The things I do for this woman.

"We should probably go home then I don't want you to get in trouble." She brings her hands to her lap fiddling with other fingertips. "It's fine, he's out drinking with Dean anyway and they went with a few other people so we have time." I mention and then I heard a grumble, "Was that your whale of a stomach?" I laugh and I look at her as we hit a red light, "Yes it was." She mumbles avoiding eye contact. "Wanna get something to eat?" I ask her and she stares at the time lit up on the dash, "I have a curfew." She tells me.

"What time is your curfew?" We're gonna get food whether if she meets her curfew or not. "Eleven." Hmm, 30 minutes from now, "How about we get food then we can eat in here while I drive you home?" I offer, "We're going to make it by eleven?" She looks up, "Uh we'll try." I kinda don't bring her home but I also don't wanna get her in trouble, the parents are lawyers, they could sue me for attempting of kidnapping their daughter. They could try to pull something if I ever meet them, I'm not afraid of parents. Except the ones that are lawyers or are in the military.

"Where do you wanna eat? I can speed you back home if I need to." I say, "Taco Bell sounds great right now." She says and her stomach growls again, "I think you're stomach agrees." I joke and she wraps her arms around it, "Yeah it's defiantly something." Is she always hungry or is she just not eating, every time I'm with her stomach growls. I hope she's being fucking fed or I will be burning her parent's house and everyone that works in that fucking job of theirs and I'll fucking burn Tyler too. Not his house, just him in general.

Bailey's POV:

"So we're a few minutes late but that's okay, I'm sure using the traffic excuse would work if not say there was a puppy or kitten or something and we had to move it." Skylar pulls up to my house and I pick up my crunch wrap from my lap, she insisted I get three because it feels like we ran a marathon so I would be hungry, I ate two along with two tacos and nacho fries. "And if those two don't work?" I ask, "Then just text me and I'll come to knock them out." Clicks her tongue and my jaw drops a little, "I'm just kidding just say that I needed gas." She laughs and I smile at her laugh, it's cute.

"Thank you for tonight I had fun spray painting the building and I hope it kind of stays on it and I also had fun running from the cop even though I don't think it was in our agenda." I can still feel the adrenaline rush through my body. "You're welcome and you're right it wasn't but it comes with living a life like mine." She shrugs, "Well your life must be pretty cool." I say and I watch her head bow a little and then looks up with a tight-lipped smile, did I say something wrong? "I don't the word 'cool' describes it but it's definitely along those lines." She chuckles. "Yeah, I'll be going." I mention before we get awkward, I reached for the door handle but I get stopped when Skylar pulls my hand away, "Wait!" She said and hopped out then I watched her walk in front of the car.

She opens the door for me and I get out smiling at her, "You know I can open my own door right?" I raise an eyebrow and she nods, "Yeah I know and just because you can doesn't mean you should, I'll be opening doors for you now." She says proudly, "So what do I get to do for you now?" I ask, "Uh I don't know but it's fine we don't need to think of one now." She closes the door and I shake my head as I walk towards the front door, I open it and I wave at Skylar before walking in. I close the door and I did a little happy dance then I sighed a happy sigh.

"Bailey!" And the happiness has gone. I walk around the staircase into the kitchen and I see my parents obviously tired sitting at the dining table, "Why are you here past your curfew, it's eleven fifteen hun?" My dad asks rubbing his eyes, I mean at least I'm here right, I could've convinced Skylar never to come back here again and ask her to run away with me to London and help me own a bookstore in the middle of a busy town then come to the countryside to read pride and prejudice with me. Would she even agree to that?

"We needed gas." I used the third excuse, "We?" My word choice was questioned, "She, she needed gas." I broaden. "I want to meet this person, for her to hold you out longer than your curfew, I want to know her deal. Invite her for dinner tomorrow, it's Saturday tomorrow anyway. I want to know that the person my daughter is going out with is good and not someone who's going to get you arrested." If only you knew mom.

"We're going to bed know hun make sure the doors are locked." I watch both of them get up and walk past me sluggishly then I took out my phone.
