I figured everyone should, at least once in their life, run away.

At 17 years old I ran away from home. I'm going to be honest it wasn't a great idea but I couldn't stand the place I was living in, why? Because my grandma and father would blow up at the slightest mistake I made and yeah some of them weren't accidents (like leaving the dishes for tomorrow) but still I could be out every night doing drugs and wilding out but they yell at me for leaving a few dishes in the sink that I'm still going to wash but, like the good girl I am, I decided to not lash out at them and scream all shit I've wanted to tell to them, instead, I decided that's it's safer to run away plus I've always wanted to walk the streets at night so why not?

After walking for about maybe 2 hours (not that good at telling the time) I decided to catch a ride and no I'm not a dumbass that thinks I can't get kidnapped, I just don't wanna walk anymore, so, standing close to the edge of the road I stretched my arm out and did the usual hitchhiking sign whenever a car went by so far no one stopped for me, it's not like they can't see me either I'm wearing a white oversized long sleeve shirt and boots no pants cause I'm retarded, actually, maybe that's why they weren't picking me up maybe they thought I was a prostitute.

After a few minutes a black Subaru WRX slowed down, with a relieved groan I dropped my arm and rubbed my shoulder, I waited till they came to a stop before approaching, they rolled down the window and spoke

"Where do you need to go?"

Well, aren't you getting to the point? With a shrug, I answered

"Nowhere really, I just like car rides"

He chuckled before unlocking the doors

"Alright, hop in"

I opened the door and slid in, I looked at him and took in his appearance, he had pink hair, a short-sleeved black v neck, grey sweatpants, on his right arm I saw tattoos but I couldn't really make out what they were exactly.

"So, what are you doing? Driving at this time?" I asked, my curious eyes locked onto his face, searching for a reaction.

He glanced at me before looking back at the road, he raised an eyebrow then answered with his own question

"Why are you out walking at 3:21 am??"

With a pout, I crossed my arms.

"Because I ran away from my poopy home"

His eyes widened and his grip on the steering wheel tightened

"I ran away as well"

Now that I'm actually looking at him I realized he's kinda young-looking maybe like 18

"Really? How old are you?"

"18, you?"

"17!"

"Nice, why did you run away?"

"I think it was to teach my dad and grandma a lesson, the lesson is to not overuse me I guess? Also because I think everyone should runaway at least one time in their life"

He laughed and shook his head before refocusing on the road but didn't say his reason

"Sooo? Uhm...why did you run away?"

He shrugged and sighed then answered

"I ran away from home because of my abusive foster dad"

I nodded, I expected it to be some bad so I wasn't shocked.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know"

"I'm Natsu" he said suddenly.

"Oh, I'm Adaiah, nice to meet you Natsu" I smiled brightly"

"Same here, Adaiah"

"Did you ever report him?"

"Yeah but he's an officer so he has people that can cover him" 'damn that sucks' I thought

"Do you have any money?" I asked

"Yeah, I saved up as much as possible for 3 years, though, I don't have enough to maintain an apartment"

I smiled and nodded, my dad's paycheck has been getting cut so he couldn't make payments on time which resulted in him having to pay more money on the bills. I'm pretty sure he'd let Natsu live with us if Natsu agrees to paying certain bills like WI-FI or something.

"My dad has been struggling to pay bills, I'm pretty sure if you offered to pay some, like the WI-FI, he'll let you stay" though it's really up to my grandma but give her a few compliments and she'll let you do anything (as long as you weren't related to her).

He raised an eyebrow "you just met me and you're offering to let me stay with y'all?"

I nodded

"You must be fucking crazy"

I shrugged, "that's what people tell me so maybe"

He went quiet for a while.
