Disclaimer: Hello. A new story from, yet again, another series! I love The Waltons! And I watched the episode, The Runaway, the other night for the first time! I thought something terrible was going to happen to Jim-Bob, so that's what gave me the idea to write this story! Well, review positively please! Thank you! I don't own The Waltons or characters. I forget the name of the person who does, but they do… Well, let's go!
The Runaway: Different Version
...
Chapter 1: Run Away
Jim-Bob's PoV:
Nobody's listening to me... Porkose died this morning, and everybody's more concerned about everything else, except for me... Why don't I just run away? It'll be an even number in the house... Seven's an uneven number. I must go. Nobody's paying attention to me...
...
Erin's PoV:
"Mama! Mama!" I run down the stairs.
"Erin, what is it?"
"It's Jim-Bob! He's run away!"
"He probably just went for a walk, Erin." Mama says.
"No. He left a note." I hand the note to Mama and Daddy. It read:
I'm running away, because you don't have time for me. I tried to tell you that Porkose died, but nobody listened to me. So, I'll be on my way.
Love,
Jim-Bob
"I'll go look for him. He probably went for a walk somewhere. It's my fault. If I would've paid attention to him when he was trying to talk to me at the mill... I set him off."
"It was my fault, too. I was too busy paying attention to Elizabeth." Mama says.
"I pushed him away, too." Grandpa says.
"Well, I'll go find him," Daddy says.
"Do you think we should call the sheriff?"
"No, there's no need to call the sheriff, Livy. He'll be back," And Daddy leaves the house…

Jim-Bob's PoV:
I walk down the long dirt road, heading for the next town. The truck I saw in town at Ike Godsey's store starts driving down the road. I stick my thumb out, asking for me to hitch a ride with him. He pulls up and asks, "Want a ride?"
"Yes, please." I answer.
"Where to?"
"The next town."
"Sure. Hop on in," As soon as I close the door, we drive off…
