Chapter 8

I wake up with a neck cramp. I pull my chair up and I hit my head on the roof of my car. "Ow..." I whined. I looked over at Sora who seemed a lot more peaceful than me. I sigh and leaned back. Well instead of using my card, I've been on the run with Sora for a while now. I think it's been a month. Our original plan was to head straight to Florida, but we wanted to make sure that my father wasn't looking for me.

I looked in my wallet and now we were dwindling on low money. I sighed again, well eventually I would have to use my car, the only great thing about me having this card was that my dad doesn't have access to it. I was smart enough on my way home, Tohru and I stopped at the bank and had officially put under my name.

I was a writer, and they understand if it was just for me, because I was of age, and I had my own income. Well... I pulled out the card and looked at it. I can try... I looked back over to Sora who was still sleeping and turned on the car. I drove over to a Starbucks. He woke up when I was getting out of the car.

"Hey." He yawns. "Where are you going?" He says sitting up.

"I was just going to get coffee... wants some?" He made a face and I giggled. "You don't have to get a black coffee, here come with me, I'll order you something super sweet." He blushed and nodded getting out of the car.

"I didn't know you can get coffee any other way." I laughed again.

"Yeah, blended in ice for some reason makes it taste sweeter too." He tilted his head to one side.

"Blending ice makes it sweeter?" I chuckled at him and sighed.

"Yeah when you say it like that it seems slightly weird. Anyway, since you're awake... do you want to go get something to drink?" He yawns again and opens the door.

"yeah sure why not?" I grin and we head inside. As we go in, I noticed a lot of people staring at him. Maybe it was the way he was dressed. You don't normally see people like that, and maybe that's why it was okay at Disneyland. I blushed a little bit, well, if nothing goes wrong with my card then maybe we should get him some new clothes.

"Hi how may I help you..." The girl at the counter looked up at us and I saw her face get all red. "Wow... you look just like Sora... the best cosplayer ever..." She murmured. I felt something in me, like this unleash of Angry, and I wanted to bash it in her. I leaned to Sora and She didn't notice me. "What may I get you?" She still had her eyes fixed onto him. Really? I'm right here. This time I grabbed his hand He laced his fingers with mine,but he didn't seem to mind or was oblivious to the situation.

"I like Caramel... didn't you say that it could be blended?" He looked at me and his finger was on his lip. What the hell, it was like he was a child. I nodded at him.

"Yeah, ask for a Caramel Frappecino." He nods and looks at the girl, who was now angrily looking at me. Finally. "I'll just have a black and white iced coffee, with an extra shot of espresso..."

"And I'll have the Caramel Frappecino..." He says questiongly.

"Anything else for you?" She directs that one again towards Sora.

"Yeah, we just drove through town, and we were looking for the nearest convience store, we're going to be staying at hotel tonight, you know we want to make sure to use protection." Her face became 50 shades of red and turned to make our drinks. I gave her my card, and you wouldn't believe how fast she swiped it and threw it back at us. I laughed a bit and Sora looked at me.

"What was that about?" I wipe away a tear from laughing to hard.

"Are you serious? She was trying to flirt with you, although it was probably not a good idea to piss her off, but seriously, she needed to back off, what if we were really dating, she would be interfering with us... you know..." I trailed off and blushed. Why did I do that? We weren't together, and I was only trying to help him, and nothing more. "Anyway, my card works, so if you want we can stay in a hotel tonight."

"Yeah!" he through up one arm, and finally noticed our other hands were connected. I went to let go, but he held it tighter. "Do you have enough money for that anyway?" I blushed. He didn't seem to mind that I was still holding his had, in fact, he was still proceeding to have a conversation with me, as if nothing happened.

"Yeah, I published a couple of books, and I get money sent straight to my bank account. I was hoping my dad didn't find a way to shut it off..." I spun around and looked at the T.V. the news was on. Sora turned to see what happened as well. My eyes widened and so did Soras. We were on the news.

"My daughter was kidnapped by this man, if anyone can bring her back to me, I would be truly thankful, she's my only daughter... and I'm sure most of you good people out there know her by her book." Oh no... "Local authorities were noted that they were last seen at Disneyland leaving in the direction of Arizona. that was about a month ago,the last place they were spotted was in New York." It went back to my father who was in tears. "I know this has been going on for a month now, but I just want my daughter back."

"Crap..."I managed. I looked back and everyone working there was watching the news.

"Hey Amara! If you ever see this, I just wanted to let you know I support you in your decision .. me and Miharu... Go for it." I see Tohru smiling at the camera and holding up a piece sign.

"Hey your her!" Someone shouted. Sora reached for the drinks and we flew into the car, Luckily just before we got in I remembered to put cardboard of my license number, we drove away quickly leaving for the next town.

"That was close! Although we need to stop and pull those covers real quick." I say catching my breath, my heartbeat still racing. "Luckily for us they thought we were in New York. "

He nods. "Yeah wasn't that last week though?" I scratched the back of my neck. "Thank you." He says looking out the window.

"For what?"

"Well helping me... You didn't have to help me at all, and look at all the trouble you're getting into. I feel really bad about that..."

"That's not your fault Sora, this was my choice, I wanted to leave with you. So please don't start feeling guilty about this." I took his hand again and he blushed. "Well since we're close to Florida, why don't we head that way?"

"Sure." He smiles at me and takes a drink. "wow that's good. " Mine was in the cup holder. We were now leaving South Carolina and heading towards Florida, but as we past through Georgia state line I noticed a small carnival. I decided that maybe we needed a break from all this mayhem .. So after 5 hours of driving we go to the nearest hotel.

"Hey Sora... I think it might help, but maybe if we got you different clothes you might blend in a bit, also, we need to take our minds off of this whole mess... Why not got to that little Carnival across the street." His eyes seemed to gleam.

"If it'll help you hide as well..." and he opened the window to look across the street. "And yeah,we didn't really get to do much at Disneyland did we?" I shook my head no. "Alright lets go have some fun!" He chuckles.
