Mistie sat staring at the computer screen. She was sitting in the library. She stared at a screen name and her finger slowly pushing on the 'IM' button. She sighed and clicked it.

Broken SiN: I need your help…….

Bradin looked at his computer as it beeped. "What the…" he said. He thought for a moment and his jaw dropped.

OnlyOne: What the hell do you want?

Broken SiN: I need your help….

OnlyOne: Yea I got that much….

Broken SiN: Things are bad….

OnlyOne: what do you mean?

Broken SiN: I need to get out of here….i cant do it any more.

OnlyOne: What the fuck are you talking about.

Broken SiN: You're the only one who cant think any less of me.

OnlyOne: Ok that might be true…but I still don't get what your saying.

Broken SiN: I need to get out of here….Cali is the only place they wont look for me…Can you pick me up at the airport and drop me off at a hotel.

OnlyOne: wait….your running away….again.

Broken SiN: get that look off your fucking face you ass. NO im not running away…..im getting away before they kill me.

OnlyOne: Sorry still not following…

Broken SiN: Will you pick me up yes or no….

OnlyOne: Maybe….

Broken SiN: fucking forget it ok…..

Broken SiN has signed off.

Bradin swore to himself and picked up his cell. He dialed the number and waited for someone to answer. "Is Mistie there." He asked. "NO SHES NOT AND IF YOU SEE HER TELL HER TO GET HER ASS HOME." A voice screamed on the other side and hung up. "Okay then…" He said and pressed the end button. He dialed her cell. "Mistie…." He said when she picked up. "Forget it..." She said. "No…I'll help…but your telling me what the hell is going on when I get you.." He said. "Fine…I'll be landing at 4." She said and hung up. He looked at the clock it was only noon.

Mistie looked around the library and ran out. She threw her bag over her arm and stood at the bus station. Bradin looked at his aunt as he walked downstairs. "I need the car…" He said and she looked at him. She slowly nodded and handed him the keys.

Five hours later Mistie sat in the car avoiding Bradins looks. "Tell me…" he said. She sighed. "They are driving me nuts…..he wont stop drinking…she wont stop blaming me for it. And im sick of being the punching bag." She said. He nodded. "Becca hates me because Travis tried to get with me at Shaunas party…and now everyone hates me." She said and he smirked, "Finaly they got some brains." He said and looked at her. She scowled. "This was a bad idea…" She said as they came to a stop in front of a hotel. She jumped out of the car and ran into the building not looking back.

He shook his head and drove away.
