The Runaways

Ch. 3

After eating their soup, Jess and Leslie went to take a walk around the farm land. Jess. Leslie asked. Yeah. Jess answered.

''Do you think about your parents''? Leslie asked.

''No, why''? Jess asked.

'' I just thought you would rather be with your parents than here''. Leslie said.

''My parents gave me away for money, I hate them''. Jess said bitterly.

''Do you think they really gave you way for money''? Leslie asked.

''Well, I don't know''. Jess asked.

'' So you're just assuming that they gave you away''. Leslie said.

At this point, She stopped walking, staring at him.

''They didn't tell me where I was going till I got here''. Jess explained.

''That doesn't mean they wanted to give you away''. Leslie said.

''So you think that there's a reason they sent me here''. Jess asked.

Leslie shrugged.

''I guess''. She said.

They were silent for a few minutes, and then Jess spoke.

'' What happened to your parents''? Jess asked.

''They died''. Leslie said sadly.

''I'm sorry''. Jess said.

''It's okay, they died last year, and since no wanted to adopt me I was sent here''. Leslie said.

'' Wait, you were in an orphanage''. Jess asked.

Leslie nodded.

'' I wish I could disappear, and wish people would forget I exist''. Jess said.

''Why''. Leslie said.

''Because to me, I'm not important to anybody''. Jess said.

Leslie grabbed Jess's hand.

''You are important, to me''. Leslie said and smiled.
