It was now the day of Eddies and Theresa's engagement party. I was sitting in my room and looking around my room. Everything was still the same. The chair I threw that night when I was on drugs and my brother pissed me off. The door still had a hole where the leg of the chair hit. My papers and pictures were still all over the desk and some on the floor. I was so mad with my brother last night that I got a tattoo of a sun on my lower back and dyed my hair black. He was angry but there wasn't anything he could do. The dye and tattoo were permanent. He came into my room. I arose from my bed. He looked at me and then looked at the silky blue dress that Theresa had bought last night for me. It was so ugly and picked out in a fast manner. Then Eddie sighed
"Are you going to wear something nice?" He asked
"Nope." I said as my tongue stud clicked against my teeth.
"Why not?"
"Your not getting married it's just a party."
"All right I give up wear whatever but your still coming!"
"Whatever."
"Be ready in twenty minutes."
"All right."
Then Eddie left the room and I sat back down on my bed. I had to get away from this place. Then it hit me I could pack a suitcase throw it into the back of Eddies car and see which one of his friends would drive me to LA or let me stay in their house for away until I cooled down. I dumped the rest of the clothes left in my bag. I grabbed all the clothes and other things I could find and stuffed them into the suitcase. Then I darted out of my room out the door and down to Eddie's car. I threw my suitcase in the trunk and headed back up. I saw Eddie in his nice clothes surprised at the fact and then he looked at me. He saw me and looked at my outfit. I was wearing a black belly shirt showing my star shaped earring on my belly and a flowing layered skirt that ended a little above my knee and my high heeled black knee high boots. I also had my tongue stud and nose stud in and big hoop earrings in my ears. I knew Eddie wanted to scream but he wasn't today.
"Let's go."
"Fine."
We got into the car and Eddie drove to Theresa's. We arrived shortly. I jumped out of the car to find Marissa. I went into the back and saw decorations and people everywhere. I couldn't see Marissa anywhere. So I went inside where Marissa was staying. She was just finishing zippering up her dress. She turned around and saw me standing there.
"What an outfit." Marissa said to me
"Yeah just pissing off my brother."
"Well it seems like when you want to piss someone off you can really do it."
"I know I love it."
"Wish I could do that, this my first time doing something and I'm only worrying the people I love."
"Don't worry about that let's try to go have fun."
I gave her a pat on the back to follow me. She followed me outside. When a guy ran up to her.
"Marissa please come back to Newport." He pleaded
"No Luke not with you." She spoke and slapped him across the face. "Go home Luke!"
Luke turned away and ran back the way he came. All of a sudden out of the blue came Ryan. The Ryan Atwood. He came up to Marissa and Marissa turned around and ran back inside. Knowing now I had a get away I ran back out to the driveway to find Ryan's car. I knew it had to be the nicest car in the parking lot. I found it and I went up to it and tried to open a back door. To my surprise it was open. So I ran back to Eddie's car and got my suitcase and ran back to Ryan's car. Threw it into the back underneath a seat so it wasn't noticeable. Then I got into the back and laid on the floor so he wouldn't see. I knew he would come back with Marissa and off to Newport we would go and I would get up when I knew it was to late to turn around.
I waited and waited until I heard footsteps. Then doors opened and Ryan and Marissa were inside the rover. Ryan started up the car and drove away. When I was sure he was on the highway I slipped forward without them knowing because they had the music blasting. Then I tapped Ryan on the shoulder he turned around and saw me.
"Chastity how'd hell did you get in here." Ryan said acting like he just saw a ghost.
"The door was open so I got in."
"Why are you here?"
"Getting away from Chino and following my best friend."
"What do you think Sandy and Kirsten are going to say?"
"How the hell do I know?"
"Well I'll call them and ask them if it's okay I bring my friend home."
"Okay."
We stopped at a gas station and Ryan called home to his so-called "legal parents" if I can stay. He soon got off the phone. I watched Marissa she seemed really quiet since we left Chino. I turned back to look at Ryan.
"Chast you can come home with me."
"Yes"
"But we got to get you something a little more classy so you don't look slutty and get yourself kicked out of the house."
"Oh all right."
"Great so we'll stop somewhere not to expanse and Marissa will help you find something to wear."
"Okay."
Off we drove into the rain and to this place called Newport Beach. Here I go for another adventure. Into a another town and another story.
