I know I know, another story but whatever. I might not post this after I've typed it, I think I'll just keep it in my docs until I get some other things updated and on their way.


"Stop!" I ignored the mans angry cries as I sprinted off in the other direction. It was just another day of survival. I don't know when I'll get caught, I know it's inevitable, but it's not like I have any other choice. I'm 18 years old, with quite a bit of baggage. I survived on the streets with Selena. I once had magic, I once was carefree and sarcastic with nothing to worry about other than how to keep dad from finding out my latest scheme. Things have definitely changed since then.
I dodged a few people as I made my way through the crowded streets without any real destination. I couldn't go back to my hide out because that would just be leading them right to us, I'm not stupid, though I have done plenty of stuff for other people to think otherwise. I turned the corner as fast as I could and collided with another person. I immediately sat up from the ground to see who I had collided with. It was a man in a black fancy suit. He had a cap that I just knew was part of a uniform and he was wearing white gloves. I glanced behind him and spotted a long, dark, sleek limo. The windows of course were tainted, but normally you could see when someone was in it. I didn't see anyone and I looked back knowing I didn't have much time and I couldn't just keep running.
"I'm so sorry for this." I told the man who sat there confused until my fist met his face and he was out like a light. I dragged him into a small corner where one building met with another. In a few seconds, I made my way to the limo and sat in the driver's seat clad in the uniform the obvious driver had been wearing. Well not the whole thing. I just stole the jacket and cap. I tucked my hair into the cap and made sure it wasn't obvious that I was out of place. I had the white gloves on to avoid leaving any fingerprints. I sat patiently waiting until I saw what I was looking for. The chubby man huffed and puffed his way over to where he was right in front of the limo, I lowered my head shielding my eyes from view but could still keep an eye on him. The man looked around, his face beet red with anger and his beady eyes frantically scanning the area. When he didn't see me, he continued on his search and I let out a sigh of relief. I was about to step out when I heard the back door open and I froze. What if his partner had found me? I waited to feel the cool metal of the barrel pressed to my forehead but it never came.
"Okay Jem, let's get going" A girls voice sounded. I looked in the review mirror and my breath caught in my throat. She was absolutely breath taking. She wasn't even dressed up or anything, she was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, a band tee and a leather jacket over it, yet she looked fit to meet the queen. She was maybe my age, or younger with long brown with bangs. Her eyes were a beautiful chocolate brown that made me want to melt, her skin was fair and she had this sort of aura about her that made her friendly and kind.
"Jem?" She questioned and I immediately lowered my eyes again to avoid being caught. I cleared my throat as a response torn between getting the hell out of there or trying to keep up the act. I mean, if I just drive her to wherever it is she's going, maybe no one will ever know and the cops wont get involved. On the other hand, Selena would be waking up soon and I don't want her to freak out. I reached for the door handle to make a run for it when I heard something from outside. I looked up. That was my first mistake. My eyes met the gorilla that had been chasing me down earlier and his gaze locked onto mine. Shit
I immediately started the car immensily relieved when I found the keys in the ignition. I pulled out of there as quick as I could and sped through traffic going a random direction.
"Ow! What the hell!? Jem slow down! Where are you going!?" The beauty in the back questioned seeming annoyed.
"Quit calling me Jem" I finally blurted. I heard her gasp as she relized what was happening. Or at least what she thought was happening.
"Who are you! What do you want? Where are you taking me!?" She was panicking I could tell.
"Just relax would ya? I used to race you know, you dont need to worry about speed or crashing, I can manage it quite well thank you very much."
"Relax!? How can I Relax when I'm being kidnapped!?"
"You're not being kidnapped! It was never my intentions to drive this thing in the first place."
"You really expect me to believe that?!"
"Fine don't believe me, but it's the truth. Besides, you're too pretty to hurt." I don't know why I said the last part, it just slipped out. The girl was silent probably still in shock and not sure what to do. We rounded a few more corners until I was sure I couldn't have been followed before I slowed down. I knew an engine inside and out. My dad had taught me all there was to know about basically any vehicle. I could even fly a plane or helicopter, though I truthfully prefer a plane.
"Now, where are you going? I'll drop you off and then find a way to get this back to that one dude." I broke the silence that had fallen over us.
"What?" She asked clearly shocked.
"Listen, I need to get back, theres somone I need to look after and I could never forgive myself if something happened to her, so tell me where it is you need to go and I'll get out of your hair."
"I- uh.. erm, Camp Rock" She finally told me.
"Camp Rock?" I widened my eyes and glanced to the review mirror to see if she was actually serious. "Are you kidding me!? Thats way out of town, it's at least a three hour drive, isn't there any where else I could drop you off?"
"Erm not really, I was just passing through here I don't know anything abou this area."
"Damn it! Look, I don't want to leave you stranded but i REALLY need to get back, so is there ANYTHING you can think of?"
"Hey! You can't get mad at me! You're the one who had the bright idea to accidentally jack a limo!"
"I told you I was never going to drive it!"
"Then what the hell were you doing in here!"
I sighed in frustration knowing we were going to get nowhere with our arguing. I drove in silence thinking for a bit before she broke it.
"Look, why don't you just go back to where it was that you picked up the limo, get Jem back here and you can get back to wherever it is that you live"
"I can't, it's not safe" She was silent another couple minutes before she spoke again.
"Then why don't you just take us to whoever it is you're caring for real quick, we can pick them up and then you can take me to Camp Rock"
"Wait... Really?" I asked glancing in the mirror once again.
"Well yeah, I don't exactly know how to drive, you need whoever it is and once you drop me off you can do whatever and I can just have someone else pick me up from the camp so I don't have to worry about being jumped."
"This isn't some sort of ambush is it? Look, I understand how bad this all seems but I really can not be arrested. I promise you I wont cause anyone any harm, there's no reason for you to call the cops."
"I swear I'm not going to turn you in... as long as you don't pose as a threat."
"I won't"
"Well then the problem's settled isn't it?" We stopped at a red light and I turned to get an actual look at her. She was watching me a bit nervous, but offered a friendly smile. I returned it.
"You're too kind for your own good. Not that I'm going to do anything to you, but that's pretty dangerous."
"You want me to turn you in?"
"No"
"Well then let's just get going." I nodded and turned the limousine around.


The sun was high above us by the time we made it to where I needed to be. It had been early in the morning when this whole fiasco started and honestly, I was pretty reluctant about the whole thing. I was just waiting for her to like, try to 'escape' and call the police. Not like I was keeping her hostage, but if she did leave she was stranded, so I guess we were stuck together. I stopped in front of an alley and unbuckled before looking back at the girl. She seemed to be lost in thought staring at the window. It was just now that I noticed she had a bag at her feet and I'd imagine more luggage in the back.
"Hey" I said bringing her from her thoughts. She looked to me questioningly and I could see she was scared but was trying not to let it show.
"You're not going to like.. I don't know run for it are you?" I asked a bit awkwardly. She shook her head.
"Okay" I smiled. "Just know I'm not going to hurt you in anyway. I told you, I'm no harm. Well unless you mess with Selena, then you need to be scared shitless" I said half joking.
"Selena?" I looked down for a minute.
"Uh yeah that's who we're here to get. She's sort of my daughter." I admitted. Her eyes widened considerably.
"Not to sound rude or anything, but how old are you?" I chuckled a bit, mostly because of the nerves. I don't know why I was so nervous. Maybe I was just scared that I couldn't trust her to be around my daughter.
"18" I answered. "I think it'd be easier if you came with me, if she sees I'm fine with you, she wont have too much trouble coming. She nodded her head a bit hesitantly. I got out and immediately walked around to her door to open it for her.
"Milady" I said jokingly. "Is that what the driver says?" I questioned and she laughed.
"No it's Miss" She told me.
"Oh" I nodded my head as she got out. I closed the door and stopped when I saw my reflection in the window. I didn't look like myself, I still had the cap, jacket and gloves on. I took the cap off letting my hair fall around my shoulders. I didn't want Selena to not recognize me.
"Oh by the way, I guess I sorta forgot to introduce myself; I'm Mitchie" She told me sticking her hand out which I took.
"Alex" I smiled and she giggled. My smile fell feeling a bit hurt that she was laughing at me. "What?"
"I'm sorry, it's just. Isn't that a guys name?" I nodded feeling a bit defensive.
"It's not my full name, and whats wrong with a boy's name?"
"Nothing" She said quickly looking down embarassed. Weird. I shook it off and led her to the alley way. I made my way towards the green dumpster. I jumped onto a solid box and used it to propel myself up onto the half that had the lid down. I stepped onto the green smooth metal and jumped over the other side. Behind was a small corridor-like path that led to a tent in the very back. It was a small tent, but it was still a luxury for us.
"Stay there, I'll get her" I told Mitchie who was most likely standing there confused. I made my way to the tent and crawled inside to find a heartbreaking sight. My little girl was curled into a ball, crying.
"Hey, shh I'm here sweetie" I told her bringing her into my arms.
"Mommy!" She cried clinging to me tightly.
"Come on sweetie" I told her after a minute of just holding her. "We're going on a trip" She looked at me not really understanding. I didn't think she would, she's only three and barely out of diapers. She could say like four words give or take. I scooped her up and carried her back to where I had come from. I sat her down ontop of the dump making sure she wasn't going to fall before climbing over the top of it. I made it to the ground on my feet and took my daughter off the top holding her securely in my arms.
"Aww Is that her?" Mitchie asked me looking to my pride and joy. I nodded proudly before repositioning her so that she sat on my hip and could see Mitchie.
"Sel, this is Mitchie. She's going with us" I told the three year old. She still looked a bit lost and stared at the brunette before smiling. I guess she decided she liked her.
"You want to hold her?" I know that sounds like I'm a horrible parent, letting a stranger hold my baby, but I needed to show her that I really wasn't kidnapping her or whatever. The only thing I could do at the moment was trust this stranger and I needed to show her that by trusting her with my daughter. She looked at me with hopefull eyes.
"Can I?" She asked excitedly. I nodded and she came closer so that she could take Selena into her own arms. She smiled at the little girl and looked to me excitedly before she seemed to think of something.
"Wait, where do you live? Why was she out here?" She asked me curiously. I shrugged.
"Um this is where I live I guess. Well for this week, it's not so safe, so I've been trying to find another area, but I'm glad I could find a hidden spot."
"You're homeless!?" She asked me shocked as I stroked Selena's hair.
"Yeah" I shrugged like it was nothing. "Come on lets go. I told her looking at the sky. I would say its like 1 or 2 in the afternoon. "We've gotta get there by four right?" I asked her and she nodded confused. Probably wondering how I knew that.
"Great, so we're going to be a bit late hope you don't mind too much" I told her before leading her back to the limo.
