I ran into the forest, and kept running.
Someone grabbed onto my arm "Whoa take it easy chick"
I groaned "Justin, don't fucking scare me like that"
He laughed "Sorry"
I rolled my eyes "Anyways, where's Dean and Harper?"
"They're deciding if we should leave again or not"
"Why, what happened this time?"
Justin frowned "You'll see"
"Okay, well" I pulled out a wallet "I snatched this from some chick"
Justin grinned "Alex, you're the best"
I laughed "I know, I know"
Then, Dean and Harper aproached us.
I ran up to Dean "Dean.."
Dean sighed "Hey Russo"
"Dude, what happened?" I looked at him then Harper.
"We kind of robbed a gas station..." Harper frowned
"A gas station? what the fuck?" I sighed "What did I say about jacking stores?"
"Russo, we didn't have a choice" Dean looked down
"You sure as hell did, you could of jacked a purse from an old lady!"
I sighed and looked away, turning my baseball cap backwards.
"Do you know how risky that was? All of us could of been caught"
Dean sighed "Look Russo, I said I was sorry!"
"Sometimes sorry isn't good enough!" I looked away, irritated.
Then, I felt Dean hug me.
"What the hell?" I looked up at him
"We only did it so we could last for the next month or so" he smiled
"Dean, that was the stupidest shit you could of done" I laughed
"I know" he sighed "But we gotta make a run"
I looked at the ditch, and then the forest. "Really?"
I was going to miss this place, we were safe here for a month.
"Yeah, I'm sorry Russo, but we gotta go"
I nodded "Okay, let me get my bag"
I grabbed my bookbag, it had food incase of emergency.
All I knew was if the cops ever caught us we would go to jail.
"Russo?"
"Huh?"
Dean laughed "You gotta pay attention"
I nodded "What if we ever have to split up? who goes with who?"
Dean frowned "Justin and Harper" he looked at me "and me and you"
I sighed "I never want that to happen, I need the three of you"
Dean laughed "yeah, me too, but we got the pre-paid cell phones"
I nodded "So no worries?"
"Nope" he smiled,
Justin and Harper ruined the moment, and came running.
They were screaming our code names, we only used those in emergency.
Uh-oh, red flag went off in my head. They couldn't of been caught.
They reached us,
"We gotta split up" Justin said panting
"No!" I started getting worried
"Alex! The cops are" I cut harper off
"I don't care! We're staying together! Got it?!" I grabbed Deans hand.
Everyone nodded and we ran, we kept running, I felt my bookbag hit my back.
It felt heavier then usual, I was actually scared for the first time in my life.
That night, we must of ran for what seemed forever.
We hitched a few rides, and they took us as far as they could.
We were at a new place now, but we needed to find a way to stay safe.
"Maybe we should split up" I said breaking the silence
Dean looked at me "Alex-"
"Wait! wait, wait. Who were you and Harper running from, Justin?"
Harper bit her bottom lip, "it wasn't a big deal, Alex"
Dean frowned "She's lieing"
I nodded "What the fuck did you guys do?"
Harper looked around "Well.."
I rolled my eyes "Oh just get to the damn point!"
"I kind of.." she looked down "me and Justin ran into some kids, and they were trying to jump us"
I starred "and...?"
"so I took out my knife and I stabbed one kid.." Harper said quietly
"Then I punched his friend in the face and they were both knocked out.." Justin said
"ARE YOU GUYS RETARDED?!' I screamed "KNOCKED OUT?! YEAH ONE GOT A BLACK EYE BUT THE OTHER IS PROBOBLY DEAD!" I breathed in and out
"Easy Russo" Dean put his hand on my sholder,attempting to calm me down.
"WE COULD ALL BE GOING TO JAIL IF THAT ONE KID WAKES UP AND REMEMBERS JUSTIN, SO YOU WANT ME TO BE CALM?!"
Dean looked at Justin "You know that was a pretty stupid move"
Justin sighed "I know"
I breathed in deeply "they were trying to jump you"
Justin nodded
"SO STABBING A KID SEEMED LIKE THE RIGHT PUNISHMENT?!"
Justin hesitated "It wasn't like that, Alex"
"Oh, then what the hell happened?!"
Harper sighed "Alex, were really far from there anyways"
"But that's not the point Harper! We're already marked down for a bunch of other stuff!"
Harper sighed "So what?! We're fine now!"
"No, we're far from it" I sighed
Justin looked away "Harper isn't the only one who made stupid moves, remember when you were 13, way before we met Dean and Harper?"
I looked down and readjusted my cap fell awkward "yeah..."
Dean looked at me "What happened?"
"I was running away with Justin, and I stole a gun, I knew I would need it if anyone tried to stop us"
Dean "yeah but that's not as-"
"I wasn't finished, Dean. So, the next day i had the gun in my back pocket, and a police officer saw me and Justin, recognizing us he tried to stop us from running, and grabbed us"
I stared seeing it all in my mind. "He said he wouldn't hurt us, but I didn't trust him so I pulled out the gun and..."
I sighed, remembering that day. I knew that cop didn't mean any harm, I was foolish.
Harper looked at me shocked "Wow"
Dean nodded "Wow, Russo, I guess we all made some pretty stupid moves"
I nodded "Yeah"
Justin hugged me "You were just trying to protect us Alex"
I sighed "I know, I love you Justin."
He smiled "What are brothers for?"
That night I could hardly sleep, It was hard to thinking about two years ago. I sighed, laying on Dean's chest.
What if we did have to split up? I couldn't live with just one of them. I needed them, all three of them.
If anything happened to Justin, or Harper, and Dean especially, I wouldn't be able to live.
Maybe I would comit suicide. No, they wouldn't want that, but I would NOTHING without them, they were my life after all.
