Authors Note: I am so pissed off at my computer right now. I was so close to ending these two chapters when it decided to close down my word document. I am so pissed off. I even slapped my computer. I think it hates me.

Chapter nine: "We are going to run away for a bit."

Sophie was sitting in her room softly playing Senses Fail, not wanting to wake her mom up. She was also on the computer looking at her yahoo mail when she heard a knock at her balcony window.

"I swear if it's Jack," she mumbled, looking at the clock and seeing it was midnight, so it was at that moment she came to the conclusion it had to be him.

She walked over to the window, unlocked it, and walked out on the balcony with Jack. "It's not like I don't enjoy the visit or anything, but I just have to ask. Why are you here at this time of night?"

"Well I was out late, so when I got home I saw the cops," he replied, walking into her room while she was following behind.

"So you just assumed they were there for you?"

"No, they were there for my old man," he stated. "He did something they just found out about. No I didn't frame him… per say."

"So you came here why?"

"We are going to run away for a bit."

"Why the both of us?" she asked, walking over to her computer and turning it off then walked to the stereo and turned that off.

"Well you're too much fun and I just want you to come with me. Plus, I don't want you to be sitting here alone with your mom bored as can be." he replied. "Oh and I came here to help you pack."

"Oh goody," she replied as Jack ran over to the closet and began to pull random clothes out.

"You really are a bunch of help," she mumbled, watching Jack throw the clothes on the bed in a big mess. "You know what, I'll just fold them up and throw them in a book bag while you keep doing what you're doing."

She walked over and picked up three bags out of her closet. One of which was her old high school book bag which was purple and black, her new Hello Kitty one, and the other that was just plain black and green. She guessed she wouldn't be going to school to soon, or even if they had enough kids to actually teach this year, so she didn't worry about that.

It didn't take as much time as she thought it would be to stuff in her clothes. It wasn't too much; it only took up the space of her old bag and the black and green one. That meant she had a spare bag to put her laptop in and things like inside, which she was glad of since she can't live without that.

"Are you ready yet?" Jack asked impatiently.

"Not yet," she replied, grabbing her book bags as she walked over to a note pad and wrote a note to her mom. She didn't want her mom to be too worried too much about her.

"Okay, now we can go?"

They walked out of the room and into the hall way, carefully walked down the stairs, then she grabbed her car keys, opened the door, and left.

She ran over to the car and jumped into the passenger's seat, knowing that Jack would be mad if he saw her in the driver's seat. Sophie carefully placed two of her book bags in the back and kept her Hello Kitty one upfront with her. She then took out her purple IPod, set it up, and turned on Senses Fail.

"Let's go," he stated. "By the way, I took at least four or five hundred from you moms purse."

She didn't even know he had gotten in the car. "I don't care. I would think she wouldn't care too much about it. She is filthy rich. Plus, she know it's only for her daughters safety." she stated. Sighing she took one last look at the house she had called home. "Yea I'm ready."

He nodded, and drove out of the drive way. We made our way into Gotham, not really noticing the people out at the time. It wasn't long till we got to an empty ware house.

"Ah home sweet home."

'Yea home sweet home,' she thought grabbing her bags and walked into the place, not without locking her car or taking out the Ipod of course. 'Home sweet home my ass.'

Authors Note: I am so happy it didn't close down on me this time. Anyways, I hope you liked these two chapters. Review!
