TRACY POV
When we went back to the dumping ground, Mike called me straight to his office. I immediately knew where this was going.
"Tracy are you okay?" He crouched down to my level, his eyes staring into mine, like he was trying to unlock some of my deepest thoughts. I looked away from him. I couldnt tell him. Now now. Not here.
"I told you Mike i'm fine.. when have i lied to you?" I said.
"You did last time, you didnt tell me.. please, i can get Gina if you want? Cam? Please tell any of them.." He was begging me now, i felt guilty.
" I told you im fine." I gave him a weak smile and nodded, i then left. I went upstairs to the guest room, this was where i had been sleeping for the last couple of days. I got my rucksack and set it onto the bed, stuffing all my belongings in the bag. I heard Gina call my name, she was knocking on the door over and over. I knew Mike had something to do with this, ever since the incident Mike didnt like me being in a room by myself.
I threw my bag to the side of the wall, and chucked some cushions on top if it. "Come in" i said, staring into her eyes. Focusing on not looking like i was up to something.
"Mike is worried. You werent okay when we went to go and get burgers. I know your not okay. Tell me whats wrong" She put her arm around me. I only responded with what i told Mike. "I'm fine."
"Okay babes, if your sure.." She left the room. And i came downstairs again, i was packed, now i just had to wait until nightfall.
NIGHT TIME
I crept down the stairs, avoiding the squeaky floorboard to the left. I lifted my bag over my shoulder. The corridors were clear, it felt Erie, i didn't like this feeling. I opened the door, the hinges screamed in my face. I stopped the motion immediately. I looked up the stairs, no one had heard. Good. I squeezed through the door, i was not gonna get shot down now.
I began running, my feet unable to stop, my heart pounded against my ribcage.
This is for the best, i dont need them dealing with my problems anymore. It was unfair, to the kids, Cam, Mike and Gina. I decided to leave without a trace. That way i wouldnt be a burden to them lingering in their minds.
EVERYONE POV
Mike swung the door open to the guest room. She hadn't come downstairs for breakfast, but Tracy would normally be the first there. He looked to Tracy's bed, neatly made. Someone didn't sleep there last night. He diverted hs eyes around the room, the cupboard door wide open, leaving only cliffhangers there.
"Tracy?" He shouted, his voice echoed through the corridors. The kids became worried.
"Why isn't Tracy here?" Tee asked
"Maybe she went back to Cam's" Gina said, trying to reassure the kids. Though she knew this werent the case, Cam had gone onto a business trip for 2 weeks. She had arranged for Tracy to stay at Elm Tree, just for precaution.
"Tracy is gone isnt she?" Mike said, tears filling his eyes once again. He had that feeling again, the feeling of being kicked in the stomach.
"We dont know that for sure, call Cams house anyway, i mean she could have just gone to get more of her stuff,eh?" Gina said, Mike was vulnerable when it came to talking about Tracy.
MIKE POV
I called Cam's house over and over. No answer, what could i do now? My mind span round in spirals.
Where is Tracy?
Why aint she here?
What am i gonna do?
Did she-
I broke myself away from the last thought. She wouldn't have. Not again.
BACK TO TRACY.. (Tracy pov)
I dragged my feet along the never-ending pavement. My shoulders aching from the backpack.
I didn't even know where i was going, now and then i would get this feeling that i was being dumb. That Mike would understand. But i couldn't believe what my mind was telling me, instead i just went with my gut.
Which was to keep walking. And just go.
I grabbed out my mobile phone. and decided to call Mike. It was dumb of me to leave without a reason. I dialed the number, he picked up incredibly fast it shocked me when he shouted my name down the phone.
"Hi Mike.."
"Tracy!? Where on EARTH are you? Your terrifying me here! Where are you? Are you Okay? Why did you go?" He said, he was practically crying, i could feel it in his voice.
"I'm fine.. well.. i guess i am anyway. I'm not dead. Mike i left last night. I don't know where i am, i just kept walking. I can't be a burden to you any more.. I'm killing you all. It's not right" I explained to him, i swallowed the lump in my throat. Tears threatened to spill down my face.
"You aren't fine please come home... do you want me to pick you up? I will do ANYTHING" He begged.
"I can't Mike.. otherwise not only am i a problem to you, but everything back there.. This guy was a friend of my dads.. He saw me at the cinema.." I stared. Why was i telling him? It would only scare him
"Go on.."
"he wants £10,000.. Mike i don't have that sort of money.. You have done enough to help me.. i left because of that.. and the fact im bringing you down. I'm sorry" I hung up. I say anymore, i was killing Mike. I had to go now, the bus arrived. My cue to leave
