I need money!! I need FUNDS!!! Donate so I could make! Wooh... And it would be shared with every body. Yay for sweets!)
If you're wondering what's up with the statement in the (..), that's because we're both on the same theater group and we will be having our team building Saturday next next week.
Anways, this is being boring so why not read the actual chapter? Reviews and criticism are greatly accepted.

Chapter 1: Nos échapper
"Hurry, Rei!" I whispered. You are all probably wondering what we are doing. Don't worry. I can assure you, we are not robbers. And we are not up to something bad... If you're not considering escaping as something bad.
"All set." Rei said, hoisting the bag in his shoulders.
"Good. Let's go before he wakes up." I said and jumped from the window. Rei followed shortly after I have jumped.
"You should have let me go first so that I would have caught you." Rei said, straightening up.
"It doesn't matter. Now let's go before he realizes that we're gone." I said. And with that, we quickly dissolved in the shadows of the night.
X-X-X-X-X
"I... I think we're... we're away from... From home now..." I said in between breaths. I glanced up at Rei's panting figure beside me. After a few deep breaths, my breathing finally became normal.
"Where do you suppose we stay?" I asked, straightening up from my previously hunched position.
"There's an inn nearby." Rei said.
"Really?" I asked wide-eyed. "How near?"
"20 houses and an alley away." He said.
"Did you made a research?" I asked, surprise evident in my voice. How can you not be surprised if you ran to a random direction and know that there is a nearby inn?
"No. But there is a sign over there." He said and pointed somewhere. Instantly, my eyes followed the direction he was pointing at. Emerald Inn just 20 houses and an alley away.
"Oh." I said. And without another word, we began to walk to the direction of the inn. 19 more houses... 18... 17... 16... 15... 14...
"What is up with the counting inside your head?" Rei said, breaking the silence between the two of us.
"It's quiet and I'm bored so I decided to keep count of the houses left for us to reach the inn." I said.
"Yeah? Well, how many houses have we already passed by?" Rei said, smirk evident on his lips. Oh crap. He got me.
"Ugh... I hate you for distracting me." I said, rolling my eyes at him.
"You're welcome." He said as he pushing open the door to the inn.
"Why are you pushing a door that says pull?" I said, entering the inn.
"It clearly says 'Pull if you're too stupid. Push if you know how to read'." He said as he closed the door. For double checking, I went back outside to read the sign. Pull if you're too stupid. Push if you know how to read.
"Ugh. This is the second time tonight." I grunted as I faced a now smirking Rei at the lobby. "Let's just get a room and rest, okay? Let's just forget this ever happened."
"I've already got us a room." Rei said as he held up a key. Smart ass... I hate you right now.
"Sjnfdoahfsasdafdsfjh." I grunted incoherently as I took my bag from him and marched up the stairs. I kept a straight path then turned right. Now what room was it...?
...
Oh crap... I'm going to a room and I don't even know which one is it. Not far behind me, I heard a chuckle escape from a pair of lips. I hate you right now you stupid smart ass... I really really hate you right now... This is the third time tonight.
"Looking for a room?" Rei said as he put the key on the key hole and turned it. He pushed open the door as I went 5 rooms back. For an inn, this is a pretty big one.
"Bed! Finally..." I said as I jumped at one of the room's beds.
"How far do we have to go before we reach the place?" I asked as I turned to face Rei.
"About 1500 miles more." He said as he placed the bags on the floor.
"Crap." I grunted. Silence.
"Do you think it's a good idea to run away?" I asked, suddenly becoming serious.
"I don't know. You asked for this and now, you've got it." Rei said, lying down on the other bed.
"Do you think he'll find out that we've ran away?" I asked, also looking at the ceiling.
"Of course he would find out. That's why, we have to get away from here as soon as possible." He said, glancing sideways to look at me.
"Can we stay here for 2 days before we resume?"
"I don't think so." He said.
"Why?"
"Because sooner or later, he would figure out we are staying here and would not hesitate to send an entire army to go after us." He said. Damn him for always being right.
"Ugh..." I said and rolled over to the other side. "I hate you for being right."
"I know. I hate you too..." He said then he chuckled.
"But you don't hate me for dragging you out here with me right?" I asked, turning over to look at his side.
"Do I have a choice?" He said, also turning to face me.
"Yes." I said. We were quiet for a whole minute.
"Too bad because I've chosen to be dragged here with you." He said, chuckling.
"I pity you for having to look after me." I said.
"I don't mind. After all, I am obliged to-"
"Stop that. No one is obliging you to look after me. All of us have our free wills." I said, my voice a little bit louder.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"It's okay. You don't have to apologize." I said. "Let's just go to sleep so we can continue tomorrow."
"Okay." He said. "Good night."
"Good night." And with that said, I started to drift off to sleep.

*SFX: water dripping*

...
What is this?
...
...
...
*SFX: rain pouring hard from the outside*
...
Is it really okay?
...
I'm sorry for causing you trouble.
...
Would you like me to leave?
...
I'm sorry for making you take care of me.
...
Just tell me if I'm being too much of a burden for you so I could leave.
...
...
...
*SFX: rain pouring harder outside*
...
...
Please stop it. It's not good for you.
...
...
Please don't be stubborn.
...
Of course I'm concerned. I'm your friend.
...
That was before.
...
I don't hate you. I just said that on impulse. I don't really mean it.
...
Would you like to be my friend?
...
...
...
*SFX: rain pouring more harder from the outside.*
...
I don't think a male best friend is allowed to do this to his female best friend.
...
But you are an exemption.
...
I want to be here with you forever. Can we do that?
...
...
I love you too... Don't leave me.
