Here's chapter 16 of On Our Own. Please enjoy and R&R. Thank You :)

Spencer paced around the apartment; he had just heard the yelling match that went on in the hall. "Oh God I wonder what they're going to do?" He worried that they might talk to other people he knew so he pulled out his phone and called Socko. "Hey Socko…..oh good, listen man, if the police or the kid's parents contact you don't tell them anything……..it won't sound suspicious, look just tell them you've never met my sister or her friends before……..thanks man bye." He hung up and sat down in the couch, he wondered what the parents were planning and if there was any way he could stop them. Suddenly it dawned on him that the parents could contact them, he wondered why they hadn't already thought about do it. He immediately pulled out his cell again and selected Carly on his list.

"Hello" Carly said sleepily, it was late and everyone else was asleep. "Hey Carly" "Spencer!" she said in quiet yell "Spencer what's going on?" she asked in worried tone "listen Carly, I'm calling you because I want you all to get rid of your cell phones." "WHAT!" she quietly yelled "Carly you guys have to; I think the parents are trying to find you all through your phones" he said." "But Spencer we need the phones to keep in touch with each other" she said, he thought for a moment "alright then get new ones and trash the old ones" "but Spencer!" "Carly, please just all of you get new phones and only put each other's and my number in them ok." By now Carly was tearing up "ok Spencer" she said "I love you Carly bye", the call ended and she just collapsed back onto and cried herself to sleep.

The next morning she was the first one up at 9:00 am, it had been a rough night, and for her it was full of worry and tears. She slowly dragged herself over to the computer and read out loud in a depressed tone what was on the screen. "Downloads complete, please restart computer" she restarted the computer and then went into the kitchen. She looked around and realized that they hadn't gone shopping for food yet so they had nothing for breakfast. "Oh great" she said in low voice, she went back to the living room and turned on the TV and watched Girly Cow while she waited for everyone else to wake up. It was around ten when everyone else started emerging from their rooms. "Good morning" Tyler said as he walked into the living room "hey" was all Carly said. Darrel came out of her room in her pj's and sat down next Tyler and he put his arm around her "Good morning baby" she told "Good morning sweetie, did you sleep well" he asked "yes actually I did", he kissed her cheek and went back to watching the TV. Carly saw how they acted with each other and just rolled her eyes, when she wasn't in a good mood that kind of stuff got on her nerves. Meanwhile Sam was still in bed; she rolled over towards the window, but bumped into something. She slowly opened her eyes to see Freddie laying there staring at her with a smile "Good morning princess" he said. "Good morning honey" she replied "why are you in my room?" she asked "because I wanted me to be the first thing you see when you wake up" he said. She leaned over and pecked him on the lips and then sat up. He sat up with her "Freddie…do you realize we're alone" "what do you mean?" he asked "our families, they're not here." He looked at her "Sam our family is with us" he said and she gave him a look "what are you talking about?" "I'm talking about Carly, Tyler, and Darrel, they are our family now and for who knows how long……..and their all the family we will need." She looked at him as a tear formed in her eye, "your right Freddie as long we have them, we will be fine" she said "that's my girl" he said putting his hands to her face and kissing her. They got up and went into the living room, they sat down with everyone else in silence and then Carly finally spoke.

"Spencer called me last night" she said with no emotion "really, what did he say?" Tyler asked and she replied "he wants us to get rid of our phones" they all gave her weird looks. "He told me the police, or the parents could find us" she said "he's right they could track us by the cell towers and tried to find our signals" Freddie said. They all looked at Carly, "so what are we supposed to?" Sam asked. Carly got up and told everyone to follow her; they all went outside in front of the house to the edge of the land where they could see the ocean. "Everyone take the sim cards out of your phones and break them" they all looked at each and then took and their phones and pulled the sim cards and broke them. "Now give Sam all the phones." They all handed them to Sam, she looked at all different phones she was holding, and each one was a different color and was unique with scratches. "Now what" Sam said "Sam I want to throw them as hard as you can into the water." Sam looked at everyone else and they all just nodded, even though this seemed a little extreme they couldn't take any chances. She took each phone and chucked them into the water. "Well Spencer wanted us to get new phones and only put each other's and his number in them" Carly told them all as they walked back into the house. "And since we haven't had breakfast we can go out and eat, then we can go buy new phones and groceries." "Wow we have a lot to do" Sam said, she had only been pregnant a month but was still under a lot of stress and tired easily. Freddie looked at her "hey don't worry if we leave now we should be back by the afternoon" he told her. They all got dressed and left to go get breakfast and start their busy day.
