Note: Sorry it's been so long guys...I've been having a really rough week, so forgive me...please...

I don't know just where I'm going
And tomorrow is a little overwhelming
And the air is cold and I'm not the same anymore.

I've been running in your direction for too long now,
Lost my own reflection and I can't look down
If you're not there to catch me when I fall.

If this is the moment I stand here on my own,
If this is right of passage that somehow leads me home,
I might be afraid but it's my turn to be brave.
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye,
At least it's the first day of the rest of my life,
I can't be afraid 'cause it's my turn to be brave
-Brave by Idina Menzel-

The airport was packed, which was inconvenient, since they were smuggling a runaway out of the city. Even with Josef's large jacket wrapped around her, and a hat people still were walking up asking for a autograph. People asked for pictures, but Jamari refused, she didn't want any pictures of her at the airport so that there was no record of who she was with.

The four ran onto the jet, avoiding anymore notice from people.

When the plane landed the four separated, Tobie and Camryn had to go to get some rest, they both had jobs to get to, Jamari went home with Josef. News of Jamari's 'disapearence' had gotten out. Her parents were claiming it was another kidnapping, and the sad thing was, the press was believing them.

She was curled up next to Josef on the couch, watching the latest on the 'missing heiress' story. Josef turned off the TV in disgust.

Jamari sighed. "I swear, reporters will believe anything they think will give them a good story, no matter how stupid it is."

Josef shook his head. "Mick's girlfriend is a reporter, she's not like that. She's actually intelligent."

She sat up and stared at him. "Mick's girlfriend is a reporter?!"

He nodded. "Yea..."

"And you didn't think I should know this sooner?!" She stood up and ran to grab her coat off of the coat rack.

Josef stood up. "What the hell are you doing?"

She smiled. "You think your friend would be interested in having an exclusive with the missing heiress?"

Josef smiled. "I'll call her on the way."

-Mick's Apartment-

When the door opened, Jamari and Josef were greeted by Beth's smiling face.

"Well, I'm guessing you're Beth?"

She stepped aside so that the two could come in, Jamari noticed a camera set up on a tripod facing the couch.

"Yes, it's so good to meet you Miss..."

Jamari cut her off with a wave of her hand. "Please, call me Jamari, I'm not one for professionalism."

Beth smiled. "I'll make sure and remember that...would you like to get started?"

Jamari gave a smile to Josef, then turned back to Beth. "Now or never right?"

It took several minutes for Beth to explain to Mick how to get the camera working right, Jamari's snide remarks about him being "technology dumb" didn't help much either.

The interview started as they most do, Beth giving a short introduction of who she was and who she was with, the few questions she asked were normal. Nothing to earth shattering, but soon the real reason for the interview came out.

"What is your relationship with your parents like?"

Jamari took a deep breath. "Not good...wow, if that's not the understatement of the century..."

"What do you mean by that?"

"My mom is a drunk, and my father is a cheating bastard, they both lie, cheat, and manipulate people to get what they want. They're fakes, they've never given a shit about me, or anything else, except money..."

"Wow, I've only heard good about your parents...can you prove this?"

Jamari smirked, she pulled back her hair that had been sitting on her shoulders. She bent her neck so that Beth could get a better look.

Beth gasped, on both sides of Jamari's neck there were black and blue hand prints. Then she slid off her jacket, Beth could see bruises on her shoulders and arms.

"They abuse you?!"

Jamari nodded. "They have since I was little..."

"Why haven't you come out about this before?"

"They made me believe I deserved it, made me believe that I wasn't worth anything, and that people who are worth nothing get treated like they're nothing..."

Beth nodded. "Well, what changed your mind?"

Jamari looked over at Josef, then back to Beth. "More like a who that a what..."

Beth smiled. "So, there never was a kidnapping was there?"

"No, when my grandfather died, he left me all of his money, so I ran...me and my two best friends came out here."

The rest of the interview went smoothly, and soon, all of her parent's lies were on tape.

Mick turned off the camera and Beth pulled Jamari into a hug. "You are an amazing person you know that?"

Jamari laughed. "I just handed you a career changing interview, of course I'm amazing to you!"

Beth smiled, then stood up and grabbed her coat. "I better take this down to Mo, it will be online within the hour."

Jamari nodded. "Thanks for this Beth."

"Are you kidding me? It's me that should be thanking you."

-2 Hours Later-

"Shocking new facts about the Jamari Sanders 'disapearence'. The truth behind the lies John and Maria Sanders have been feeding reporters for years."

By the time the 10 o'clock news came on, her interview was headlined on every channel. She knew it had probably reached New York by now, and she couldn't wait to see her parents reactions, how were they going to lie their way out of this one?
