Chapter 4
Once, again, I turned back to the diary.
I am getting kind of upset. George and Mom have started keeping Derek and me apart. Like, once Derek got home from hockey practice, I am sent over to Emily's house until dinner. After dinner Derek and I switch off doing the dishes while the other is sent upstairs. After the dishes we are permitted to put Marti to bed together, but after that we are sent to our rooms for the night. It has been the same pattern the last few nights. Last night Derek snuck into my room after we had been sent to our rooms for the night.
"Hey Banished." He smirked.
"Hey Mr. Banished." I smirked back.
"This sucks huh?" He said.
I nodded.
"We should do something to annoy them so they will stop keeping us apart." Derek said mischievously.
I smiled. "Derek, that's crazy. What are we going to do, run away?"
"We definitely should. Tomorrow is Friday. Let's sneak out.
I thought for a moment. "Okay."
So now here I am, in the middle of last period, trying to keep my nerves down. We are planning to leave right after school lets out and we get home. Derek and I bought a car to share, so we are going to take it and drive. But I am terrified of what is going to happen. I packed some clothes, since I don't know when we are going to be back. I am so scared. Oops, the bell just rang. Gotta go.
Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Derek and I drove around for a while, and got to the airport. I looked at him and he looked at me.
"Let's travel." He said. I nervously agreed.
So here we are, on a plane. To London. Not London, Ontario. We are talking London England. I have never been so scared in my entire life. We are going to be so dead, and so grounded. Forever.
I just looked at my watch, and it is 5:30. Mom should be home soon. Then she will find out two of her children are missing. One step child, one real child, but still.
I looked over at Derek a second ago. "Derek, I feel bad."
Derek looked at me. "Casey. Would you rather go sightseeing in England or be home in the torture we were just in?"
"I don't know."
Oh look, we just landed. Derek gripped my hand and we walked off the plane. Almost immediately my cell phone rang.
"Hello?" I said.
"CASEY MCDONALD WHERE ARE YOU AND DEREK!"
"London."
"Please tell me you mean LONDON ONTARIO!"
"Nope. London as in England."
Mom let out a scream so loud I think that I was hearing all the way from England, and not over the phone.
Derek took the phone. "Hi Nora."
"YOU TWO GET YOUR BUTTS BACK HOME RIGHT NOW!"
"No Nora, I am afraid we can't do that." Derek smirked.
"WHY NOT?"
"Our tickets are one-way." He said cheerfully.
"Well- LIZZIE! LIZZIE TIME FOR DINNER!"
I jolted awake. I must have fallen asleep. I checked back at the diary to see where the truth had ended.
"We should do something to annoy them so they will stop keeping us apart." Derek said mischievously.
I smiled. "Derek, that's crazy."
"Yeah, I guess so. Good night." Derek said. He bent down and kissed my forehead.
"Good night Smerek."
"Good night Smasey."
Haha I tricked you I tricked you! R/R but please don't hate me for that!
