Echo by Trapt

"Close my eyes; let the whole thing pass me by. There is no time, to waste; asking why. I'll run away with you, by my side."

Kurt

I stared out the window, watching the sky darken as the sun set.

Finn and Dad were in the lounge, cheering at something on the game.

Who knows what?

Who cares?

With a sigh, I turned away; sitting down on the chair in front of my vanity.

I started my nightly skin care routine.

There was a soft noise behind me, and my window slid open.

Looking up at the reflection in the mirror, I saw a large body slide through the window.

Their identity was hidden behind a hooded jumper.

But I recognized that tanned skin.

"Noah?" I hissed, and he flipped back the hood; grinning at me.

"Hey baby."

"What are you doing here? If my dad catches you down here, he'll shoot you. Literally"

"He won't catch me."

"How do you know?"

"Because he's too busy upstairs bonding with Finn"

My face dropped, and I turned back around to face the mirror.

"Babe…baby, I didn't mean to upset you."

Noah's arms wrapped around me, and I placed my hand over his arm.

Our eyes met in the mirror.

"I know you didn't Noah." I sighed.

"Then why are you so upset with me?"

"I'm not upset with you. I just wish, that my dad would notice me. I want to feel like he actually cares."

"He does care about you babe. He's your dad."

"Yeah, but Finn's the son he always wanted. He may be my father, but we just don't relate; because I'm gay."

I sighed, and Noah tightened his grip; pulling me firmly against him.

"So, why are you here?" I finally asked.

"I originally came to say goodbye." I looked up at him. "I'm running away."

"What?"

"Shh, calm down. I said, that's what I came here for, originally. But, now I want to ask you something."

"Fine, ask away." I spat.

I pulled out of his arms, moving to the other side of the room.

"Come with me."

I froze.

"Just come with me babe. We'll leave this place, you know; get out while we can."

I turned around and stared at Noah in shock.

He looked so hopefully.

He was willing me to say yes.

But could I do it?
