I TOOK SOOOO LONG TO UPDATE! I BET YOU ALL THOUGHT I HAD DIED OR SOMETHIN!

It's been two months since I've started school and all is going well, Mihael, Matt, Iris and I are best friends and-

DING DONG! DING DONG!

The door bell suddenly started ringing, cutting off my silent narrations. I was sitting on the floor in Mihael and mine's shared bedroom room next to Mihael and Matt, we were reading through all the song suggestions Iris had wrote down that she thinks I would sound good singing.

Mihael suddenly got up and started tiptoeing down the hallway, Matt and I followed out of curiosity, and froze in horror at the beast standing in the doorway, waving a piece of paper in Adrik's face.

"Gimme my kid back! It says on da' sheet dat da' kid has to come with me!" My dad yelled, then gave Adrik an impatient glare.

"Yes I see, but Nate's happy here and I think he'd rather stay." Adrik stated, then took a step back in fear. My dad just looked angrier, he was just about ready to punch Adrik, but then he caught sight of me and he grinned, a sadistic look started forming in his eyes.

"I don't give a shit what the retard wants now I'm taken him home." Dad said, then pushed past Adrik and started to walk towards me; but then suddenly, when I was almost in dad's reach, Mihael grabbed my arm and he, Matt and I were running back towards our bedroom. When we reached the bedroom Mihael locked the door and pulled two backpacks out from under his bed, threw one towards me, and silently started packing the other.

It was obvious that we were running away, but regardless Matt looked at me confused. "Ehem" he cleared his throat and Mihael turned to him and gave him a genuinely curious look. "WHAT ABOUT ME! YOU'RE THE WORST FRIENDS EVER!" Matt yelled.

"Oh, did you wanna' come?" Mihael asked and tilted his head in question. Matt frowned and gritted his teeth in annoyance.

"YOU'RE THE WORST FRIENDS EVER!" Matt yelled again while stomping his feet in a tantrum sort of way.

Mihael smirked "So is that a yes or a no?"

NNNN

We're walking down the highway now, after climbing out the window we made a run for it down the street, we sprinted flat out for about 15 minutes before we realized that no one was chasing us (weird) and slowed down.

I recognise the house on the corner, that's the place we're heading to. We walked to the side of the road and Mihael pushed the button on the side of the electricity poll and we waited for the little green man to appear to tell us that we could cross.

Once on the other side, we made our journey to the, oh so familiar house on the corner; the house I was at borrowing CD'S from last week, and this week will be borrowing money. Mihael walked up to the door and rang the doorbell, a rustling noise came from the inside as a response. When the door opened we were greeted with a girls smiling face.

"Good morning! So have you tried singing any of the songs I suggested for ya' yet?" Iris looked at me while she spoke and Mihael looked annoyed, maybe he has a crush on her? After a short period of time Mihael pushed Iris back through the door and we walked inside.

"We need money", Mihael explained, well sort of.

"For what?" Iris asked, she sounded across between worried and confused.

"NONE YA' BUSINESS! NOW HAND OVER DA' CASH!"Mihael ordered impatiently, sounding like he was robbing a 7-11. Iris looked sceptical, but she pulled out her wallet and handed over all her money without another word.

Iris sent me a smile as we left and I smiled back, poor Iris is all out of friends now. Mihael started to make his way back down the highway again, and Matt and I were confused, but regardless we followed him.

"Yo Mels, where we goin'?" Matt asked. Mihael pulled out a map that I didn't even know he had and pointed out a Motel that we could stay in.

"I honestly doubt that they would let children stay in a Motel alone." I explained to Mihael, he grunted with annoyance.

"Well than what do you suggest than, little brat!" Mihael asked, and I smiled and started twirling one of my white locks of hair around my finger.

NNNN

We walked down an alleyway I used to play in as a young child (A/N he can play in an alley but can't stand up to his father?), everything looked the same as when I was little. I stopped outside of a building, the windows were bordered up and the paint was pealing, but I knew old Johnny would still be living here.

I knocked on the door and waited until I could hear the rustling of someone moving around inside. We could hear the door being unlocked and I held my breath, after all, it had been years since I last saw the old guy. When the door was unlocked it swung opened and we were instantly greeted with the smiling face of my dear old friend Johnny Wammy. Johnny's tall, wears glasses, has a moustache, and is slowly losing his gray hair from the top of his head; he looks just like his twin brother, Quillish Wammy, which means he looks exactly how I remember.

"I'm pleased to see you again, Near." Johnny stated and then sent a smile towards my friends "So who are these nice looking young boys?" Johnny asked, and turned his full attention to Mihael and Matt.

"They're Mello and Matt, they are some acquaintances of mine." I stated in a monotone voice. It's been a while since I've called Mihael, Mello and it feels weird.

"WHAT THE HECK NEAR! I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!" Matt screamed in a very distressed way, and started pulling at his own hair.

"Yeah what the hell, whiteout? What happened to brothers?" Mihael asked in an annoyed sounding tone, he then crossed his arms across his chest and lifted an eyebrow.

"May we please come in?" I asked Johnny, I ignored the two dimwits and turned my attention back to the matter at hand.

NNNN

Johnny set us up in the bunker out behind his home (his home is an old abandoned candy store) and told us that we could stay there for a few day, provided that we don't eat all of his food.

It's quite late now and Matt and Mihael are both in bed, but I can't sleep, I have a bad feeling.

NNNN

By this time, Adrik was at the police station anxiously waiting to speak to an officer about this whole custody ordeal and the whereabouts of his and his neighbour's children (meaning Matt). After a LONG argument with Chris (A/N Nate's dad, I decided to name him) about where the boys might have gone, Chris decided he had better things to do and left; which now leaves Adrik worried out of his mind about what sort of trouble his kids and their friend might have gotten themselves into.

"Hello my name is officer Yagami, what seems to be the problem?" A man in a suit, with glasses and a moustache asked ( A/N Ha, chief Yagami looks like a business man. Is Adrik at the right place?).

"My two sons and their friend have run away!" Adrik quickly and anxiously stated. Officer Yagami sighed and gave Adrik an empathetic look.

"I'm going to need you to remain calm and answer some questions for me. Can you do that?" Officer Yagami asked.

NNNNN

I gasped when I heard a gunshot coming from inside Johnny's house, but I became even more worried when I saw someone covered in blood descent from the house. Whoever it was that shot Johnny (I assume that's what happened) and was heading towards us didn't look too nice (A/N Near says this even though he can't see this man's face). I could hear him shaking the door handle and I think Mihael and Matt could too because they both woke up.

"Kto, chto?" Mihael mumbled as he got up and walked towards the door.

"OSTANOVITE!" I yelled at Mihael, I guess I' picked up some Russian lately!

Mihael froze in place and turned to look at me. I could tell that I was visibly shaking with fear and the look Mihael gave me made it even more obvious.

The man broke down the door, barged in and put his gun to Mihael's head.

I'm really stuck now, I was gonna have them living on the streets but I can't write like that so I put this in and now I'm stuck! HELP!

my teacher read my story (creepy) and he though that Near was only 6 or 7.

kto, chto- ha, what

ostanovite- either stop or don't (I can't remember)
