Chapter 13: Just to have you with me

"Niki. I know that I've told you this a lot, but it's true. I love you. And I want to be with you. And if this is the only way, then I want to take that risk. I don't want to have to lose you, not even for a day." I nodded and looked down at my feet.

"Jason, I want to. I want to runaway with you. Let's get out of here." Jason smiled and I looked down again.

"But what about school? I'm not done highschool yet." Jason lifted up my chin with his finger and thumb.

"Niki, you can finish school anywhere that we go. There are internet courses, you can get a tutor, get home schooled. There are options."

"But what about Connect Three?" Jason's smile dimmed a little bit and he looked down a bit.

"Niki, I love you so freaking much. I would give you anything in the world if you asked for it. That's why I'm giving up so much. So then we can be together." I nodded and smiled. Jason came and sat beside me then hugged me. My head was on his chest so I could her his heart beating. Unlike mine, his heartbeat was normal and calm. But mine was pounding and racing, we were about to runaway and I was freaking out about it.

"When are we going to leave?" Jason looked down and started running his finger through my hair.

"Tonight. When everybody's asleep." I nodded and asked another question that was running through my mind.

"Where are we going?' Jason looked down and smiled. It looks like he had everything worked out.

"First, we take a plane to New York, and then we can take a train to a small town in Ontario. My cousin lives there so we can stay there for a while. The town's called Redwood." I nodded and closed me eyes for a second before opening them again.

"How are we supposed to pack when everyone's around?" Jason sighed and I could tell that he was getting a little annoyed by all of the questions.

"I got Shane into this one. He promised not to tell mom and dad because he would do the same thing for Becky. And because today was our last show, we don't have to worry about touring for a while. And as for the packing thing, this is where Shane comes in. Your cousin, my parents and Micayla's agent, all have to get ready to pack up stuff. And Shane and Becky are going on a date, Micayla and Nate are going on a date and Mitchie and this guy Ryan are going on a date. So your tour bus is going to be empty as is mine." I nodded again and it seemed like that was the only thing that I could do. After about 15 minutes, Jason started to get up which made me have to get up.

"Time to pack Niki." I nodded and pulled on my shoes. I opened the door and left Connect Three's bus. It seemed like the walk to the bus took 4 hours. But in reality, it only took about 10 minutes. I opened the bus door and felt pretty sad. I was going to leave all of this behind. I was close to tears, so I blinked them away and started packing.

I started with my clothes and noticed that I didn't have as much as Becky and Micayla. Micayla had the most of course because she was a performer, then Becky, then me. Next I packed my shoes, books, magazines stuff like that. Then I packed the things that would make me cry.

I started packing all of the pictures that Micayla, Becky and I had taken. There was one picture of Becky giving Micayla a piggy back. There was another of Becky and Shane talking to eachother and holding hands. There was a sunset and a river behind them both, creating the perfect romantic picture. Shane didn't know about that picture. Micayla took the picture without either of them knowing. It was so cute. Then there was a picture of me and Jason. Jason was teaching me how to play the guitar. So Jason's fingers were on top of mine pressing down on the strings while whispering in my ear. Then there was Nate and Micayla's picture. This was on their first official date. Well actually it was a group date but still. They had ordered ice cream to share of course. Micayla had gotten ice cream on her nose and Nate kissed her nose getting the ice cream too. All of these picture were bringing back amazing memories, and I started letting tears fall. I didn't even notice Jason walk onto the bus.

"Niki, baby, are you packed?" I nodded and stared at the picture and picked up the one of me and Jason.

"I love that picture Niki. It's my favourite." I nodded and put it in my suitcase and zipped it up. I stood up, turned around and hugged Jason.

"Only, 4 more hours until we are on our own." I nodded and sighed. I was excited and scared all at the same time. Jason got a text from Shane telling him that he should stash his suitcase or else his their parents might think that something was up.

"I gotta go hide my suitcase. You should do the same." Jason walked off of the bus and I picked up my suitcase and hid it in the back closet. I sat on my bunk and waited until I could 'go to sleep'. Soon enough my cousin, Micayla and Becky walked on the bus. I tired to put my best smile on and not look so gloomy.

"I'm so going to stay up ALL Night!" My eyes widened and I swear I thought my heart stopped. This was so not good! There was no way that I could crawl out of the freaking window!

"Becky, Micayla, Niki. All of you are going to be in bed by nine thirty." We all nodded. There was no way that we could argue with my cousin once her mind was made up. I looked at the clock and waited. Everyone one the bus except me, was talking crazily and going on about their only little thing to eachother. I looked at the clock and waited and waited until it was finally ten thirty.

"Ok girls. Off to bed. We all have a long day ahead of us. And yes I am going to bed too." Becky and Micayla grumbled and my cousin rolled her eyes. Half and hour later, everyone was asleep. I looked down at my phone and sighed. Only a couple more hours. I looked up at the roof and tried to calm my poor heart down.

I then got a message from Jason and almost screamed when it started vibrating. I nervously looked at my phone and a million things ran through my head. What if he changed his mind? What if his parents found out? What if Shane blabbed it to Nate? I opened the message and was instantly relieved.

New Message from Jason:

Hey, I know that we agreed on 12, but everyone is asleep and I can't wait. Let's leave now. The farther away we are the better.

Message to Jason:

Let's do it. I'll meet you by your bus.

I grabbed my suitcase and left a note.

Dear Micayla, Becky and Becca:

By the time that you read this, me and Jason will be gone. Don't worry we are fine. This is something that we had to do. I love you all. But I need and escape and so does Jason. I won't forget anything that happened this summer. You all mean so much to me.

Love,

Niki.

I left it on the table and walked out the bus door. I looked back and kept on walking until I saw Jason. I hugged him and put my bags into the cab and got into the back seat. The ride was silent, completely silent. Soon enough we were at the airport. Jason paid the fare and we got all of our stuff and went through all of the metal detectors. We got on the plane and took our seats. I looked out the window and let a couple of tears fall down my cheeks. Jason wiped my tears away and held my hand. I smiled a bit and looked out the window again. Soon enough, we were lifting off and on our way to New York City. I was glad that Shane had helped out, but I was afraid, of what would happen in the morning, when everyone woke up.

The next morning:

"Becca have you seen Jason?" Nate's voice rang through the phone making my cousin's eyes widen.

"No let me ask Niki." My cousin got up and went to my bunk, only to find and empty bunk.

"Nate, Niki's bunk is empty too." Becca's eyes brimmed with tears.

"Me, Shane and our parents will be right over." Becca nodded and told Nate goodbye then woke up Becky and Micayla. They awoke with a start and then all sat on the couch waiting for everyone to get there. Soon enough they all arrived.

"Niki's gone too?" Becca nodded and Micayla looked down frustrated.

"Where could they be?"

"Uhhh guys. I know what happened to them." Nate held up a note and Becky ran up and snatched it out of his hands.

"It says: by the time that you read this me and Jason will be gone." Nate's eyes widened and for the first time ever, they heard Micayla screech.

"THEY RAN AWAY?"
