Mark was livid. He had just got through talking to Scott. He had tried to be patient with Hailey giving her every chance. Then she goes and pulls some shit like this. He had seen the girl Megan. Hailey had really done a number on her. When was that girl going to learn to control her self? He stormed toward Scott's office.
I jumped when Mark slammed into Scott's office. It didn't take a genius to see he was pissed. "What the hell was ya thinking?" Mark yelled. Now he had never even raised his voice to me so that in it self shocked me. Man I had really screwed up. "You beat the hell out of that girl Hailey. You can't just go around doing shit like that." Mark said. I didn't say anything I just sat there. "Well aint ya got nothing to say for your self?" He bellowed at me. I took this a s a rhetorical question cause he wasn't really giving me a chance to say nothing. "I'll deal with you tonight when we get back to the hotel. You can cool your jets here in Scott's office for the rest of the night." He said and turned and left. Okay the worst he could do was hit me right? That was no big deal. I wasn't too thrilled with him being mad at me though.
Stephanie had heard the big ruckus that went on with Hailey. "Paul come on I'm going to have a little fun with Hailey." She said. He followed her to the hallway that Scott's office was in. Stephanie peeked in to make sure Hailey was there. "Follow my lead." She whispered to Paul.
"Hey Paul." I heard voices out in the hallway. It was Stephanie and the idiot. "Man did you hear what Hailey did?" Stephanie said. "Yea everybody's heard about it." Paul said. "I just came from talking to daddy and Mark came in. He told Daddy he couldn't handle her no more. Daddy said he wasn't taking her back." Stephanie said. I froze. Damn I knew it Mark was going to dump me. "So Mark is going to hand her over to social services since nobody wants her. I guess they will put her in a foster home, who knows." Stephanie said. "Well that what she gets for acting like a brat." Paul said. There voices faded away. I couldn't help it I started crying. I thought Mark was different. The whole thing hadn't been my fault yea I went a little over board but nobody cared about my side. I jumped up and grabbed my back pack and counted my money. I had about 100 dollars. I wasn't waiting around for them to stick me in some foster home, fuck that shit. I put on my jacket and grabbed my back pack and took off.
Stephanie was laughing. "Yea I bet she's having a fit." She said to Paul. "She probably fell for it. She thinks Mark's going to get rid of her." Paul said. Stephanie had to give her self credit she had made the whole thing up. She hadn't seen Mark or her father. She walked off with Paul laughing.
Scott walked in his office looking for Hailey. He didn't see her. He dialed Mark's number. "Hello." Mark said. "Yea Mark is Hailey with you." He asked. "No I told her to stay in you office." Mark said. "Well she's gone and so is her stuff." Scott said. Mark sighed. "I'll be right down. Call security and have them keep an eye out for her." Mark said. "Okay." Scott said hanging up.
I walked along the road. It was getting dark and started to rain. Just my luck I thought. My cell started ringing. I had for got about that. I took it out and dropped it and kept walking. To hell with them. I needed to find some place to lay low for the night. I left the road and walked into the woods a little ways. I found a little outcropping of rocks. It wouldn't keep me completely dry but it was better than nothing. I lay down and pulled my jacket over my head and tried to sleep.
Mark was frantic. It had been 3 hours and nobody had seen or heard from her. They called the police but they hadn't found anything. She wasn't answering her cell phone. He had talked to Chris and felt even worse. That girl had been torturing Hailey from day one and Hailey hadn't said a word. Chris said that Megan had pushed her down first. Hailey had just snapped. He wished he hadn't been so hard on her. He remembered how she had just sat there when he yelled at her. He stood up suddenly. "I'm going to look for her." He said. "Want us to come with you?" Scott asked. Chris looked up. "No you guys wait back at the hotel in case she shows up. Chris she would probably contact you before she would anyone else." He said. "Good luck." Scott said. Mark nodded and left.
