Well hello everyone. It's me bookworm2341 again. I know that I haven't really been up to date on my other stories but I'm trying to get better at that… I am starting another story. I love it and hopefully you all will like it. Here it is, here is 'Running'
Chapter 1
"Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready to run. What all this talk about… love?"
"Jayden are you packed yet?" My dad yelled through the door; I turned down the radio and replied.
"yeah, just about… What about Katlynne and Nick?" I said sitting down on my bed when he opened the door, he gave me the look and I know exactly what he was going to say.
"Don't worry about them just worry about Jayden." As he always says.
I think it's dumb because he only see's me as his little three year old girl that doesn't like boy's or goes out on dates, or has her period yet. My folks split up about twelve years ago, Nick and I live with our Mom and our step Dad; while Katlynne lives here with Dad and our Step Mom. Right now we are in Georgia and we are heading back to Moms house tomorrow morning all the was in Nashville, Tennessee it would take us at least thirteen hours. ( I know it doesn't take that long but let's just say it does)
My Dad and I haven't really gotten along with each other lately. I don't know why. It's gotten worst over this summer. I came here with bright pink streaks' in my hair and he all but cut it out.
"Dad I think I'm old enough to worry about thing. I know you don't like me being seven-teen but you have to realize this is who I am."
"Jayden your to young to be worrying about anything. You are my little girl.!"
"Yes your little girl that has grown up, and has been taking care of almost everything in the house I live in. I take care of the cooking, cleaning, and getting whatever mom wants ever since Katlynne moved in here with you!"
"Then move in here with me so you don't have to do anything. And you'll get a better education here. You can even be a normal teenager."
Here we go again. This will be the third time for him to ask me to move in with him this visit. Four years ago Nick wanted to move here for a 'better education' and I never wanted to move in the first place but mom wanted us to stay together; so that means I had to move too. After four months of living with our dad Nick and I most definitely hated living here so we moved back. I have never had a say in what I did then. I never wanted to live there.
"You know I won't ever do that."
"why"
"I'm not leaving mom like that, and I can't deal with the fighting with you all the time." I got up from my bed and moved into the bathroom and gathered my makeup, hair supplies, and anything else I had in there and stuffed it in to my bathroom bag and zipped it up.
"well you are always talking back and being a little piece of shit all the time." I walked back into my room and stuffed that bag into my duffel.
"and there is another reason why I wont move here." I said and turn the volume back up and turned away from him. He finally got the idea and left with a slamming of my door.
It was thirty minutes later when I was just about done packing my books and things to do while I was here when Nick and Katlynne were in my door way
"Hey Jayden" Katlynne said and then they both came in my room in my room. Nick sat down in my fold up chair while Katlynne went to my CD player and put in my Kelly Clarkson CD, and 'break away' started playing.
"Hey Katy" I said sitting down on my bed.
"what happened this time?" oh good ol' Nick always getting strait to the point.
"he asked me to move in again."
"Jayden I think it might be a good thing."
"Katlynne how could you say that? I can barley manage a week here with out calling mom wishing that she could come and get me. I'm not you I can't handle living here."
"Yeah Katlynne we cant all be kiss asses like you." Nick said hopping into the conversation.
""what ever I'm not a brown noser."
"Hey!" I raised my voice "let's just dropped this please? Katlynne is your car open?" she nodded. So I grabbed my big duffel and walked out the door of my room to the other side of the house an out to the car. I put it in the trunk; I did the same thing with my smaller duffel and back pack. When I got back to my room both of them were back in there own rooms.
I sat down in my chair only to here my phone go off across the room, so I got up, walk to my dresser and grabbed it, looked up only to see a poster that my friends made me this summer so I wouldn't forget them. It had all there faces and small little sayings from each of them. 'I can't believe I almost forgot it.' I quickly took it down and put it in my purse. I checked my phone and saw that my Troy messaged me.
'can you come out?' I smiled. He lives next door. We have been friends for like ever.
'sure, just let me get some shoes on.' I sent back
'k'
I walked over to my closet and pulled out my flip flops.
I locked my door and turned off my light, I walked over to my window and opened it slowly just to make sure it doesn't squeak. My window faces the front of the house. I would always sneak out to meet Troy or him and his brother. I my father ever found out about this I would be grounded for life.
I slipped my feet out first, and then the rest of my body. I walked to the side of the house where we always meet.
"Troy?" I whispered stepping closer to the back gate
"Hey Jayden." I heard him whispered coming out of the shadows of his house.
I know it's short but I hope you like it… I know it's kinda boring it will be for a little bit but it get's better I promise. Hang in there. Please review?
