"Miss you dropped this." the guard handed her a necklace Letty took it and put it around her neck then walked out of the hospital. She walked to the street and then started heading back to Echo Park or somewhere. Where she would go, she did not know.

She walked for hours and finally got tired she saw a park and walked towards it. There she saw a lot of teenagers, some where getting high, some having sex, and others where sleeping. She looked around for a spot finding a clear place and went to sit down. Exhaustion took over and she fell asleep.

In the morning she woke up looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings. Everyone that had been there last night was now gone. The only person she saw was a young boy with blond shaggy hair, he wore clothes that looked a little to big for him, a beanie was on his lap and he was asleep. He was by himself in a corner, he looked to be about 14 to 15 years old.

She studied him, she watched as he awoke and looked around. As if he was looking for something or someone. He got up and looked at her, then he picked up his beanie that had fallen to the ground. She decided to get up and start looking for food. The young boy kept watching her and she began to have a problem with that.

"Can I help you or are you just going to stare?" she glared at him and cocked her eyebrow. He looked at her nervously and began to fidget. "Um…n…I'm sorry. It's…ju…just that I have never seen you." He stuttered out to her. She watched how uncomfortable he looked. "What's your name?" she asked. "I'm Jesse." she began to walk towards him, he looked scared of her. "I'm Letty." "Hi, so you're new out here?" Letty smiled sadly at him and then nodded. "How old are you?" She was curious to know. "I'm 14 years old. How about you?" Letty studied him from top to bottom before she answered, "I'm 16. You out here by yourself?" Jesse looked around, "No, I came with Leon, but I don't know where he's at." "Oh so you're with some guy?" she stated more then asked. "Yeah, his your age and his very cool. He is also nice. You out here by yourself?" He looked at her "Yeah. I ran away from…somewhere." Jesse nodded. "Well you can hang out with us."

She saw a guy walking towards them. He was taller and bigger then Jesse. He wore a jersey and some baggy jeans. He had green eyes and dark shaggy hair. He stopped when he saw her, he studied her just like she was studying him. He turned to Jesse, "Who is this?" he pointed at her. "She's Letty. I met her right now." Jesse responded. "Hi I'm Leon." She nodded. "So how old are you?" Letty watched them both for a moment then answered. "I'm 16." Leon nodded and thought about it for a moment. "Why are you out here?" Letty shot him a glare, " 'Cause I ran away. You don't need to know the reason why or anything else about me." "I…um…I told her that she could hang with us." Jesse said nervously. "Aight, but I don't want problems. You got that princess." Letty rolled her eyes, "Yeah I got that asshole." Leon turned around and shot her a glare which she gracefully returned.

Saturday came fast for Mia. She now had a boyfriend and was getting prepared to go to the party with him. She was in her room getting her clothes, hair accessories, and make-up organized.

She began with the make-up, applying dark blue and shimmering light blue shadows on her eyes. She did her mascara to finishing with her favorite gloss. Once she was finished with make-up she moved on to her hair. She made little rolls on the top of her hair and left the rest down. Then finally she put on her outfit. She wore a shimmering light blue halter top, a black skirt that went just above the knees, and black high heeled boots.

She heard the door bell ring downstairs. She grabbed her purse and took one last look at herself. She walked down the stairs with a seductive look. Jeremy could not stop staring at her form.

"Hey, lets go. I'll see you later grandma." Mia grabbed Jeremy's arm and pulled him towards his car. "So how do I look?" Mia smiled at him. "You look amazing. You look so beautiful." Mia laughed at his show of emotions. "Maybe later you can see more." Mia seductively purred into his ear. Jeremy looked at her with a look of a kid with a new toy. They got in the car and drove to the party.

Once at the party Mia was greeted by a whole bunch of people, telling her how good she looked. She walked to the kitchen and got a beer for Jeremy and one for herself. She wanted to know what beer tasted like. She took a drink and made a disgusted look, but kept on drinking it as she went to the living room where Jeremy awaited her.

After a few more drinks Jeremy looked at Mia who was drunk by now. "Hey you want to go upstairs?" Mia looked at him for a second and then nodded trying to get up but failing miserably. The two headed to a room upstairs, Jeremy locked the door and Mia threw herself on the bed laughing hysterically. Jeremy headed over to her, laying next to her and running his hand up her shirt.
