The Life of a Runaway, World's Biggest Jerichoholic
You get the feeling your safe and you let your guard down, you don't care about getting hurt so you don't protect yourself. That's what Madison did when she met Evan. She decided she was safe so she let him protect her if there was danger. But there was a danger right in front of her, the danger of attraction…
*Flashback*
Maddie looked around the dark street of St. Louis Missouri. She knew her real father lived in this street. She just didn't know the number. To a 14 year old girl, the street looked bigger than it actually was. All the houses she went to had told her John Baker didn't liver there. Her nightmare had come true when it started raining, not drizzling but raining really hard. Her small suitcase was soaked through to the core. She had to keep trying though. After two more houses she knocked on the door of Evan Bourne. Shirtless, with wet hair, he had obviously just taken a shower, he answered the door,
"Can I help you?" he asked.
"Please tell me John Baker lives here…" the way she said it, it sounded like she wanted to live there because of the muscular 14 year old standing before her.
"Nah, he lives up the street. I can get my brother to drive you up." He offered then noticed the suitcase and mascara running down her face. "Jesus Christ! Come in!" Evan took hold of the handle before Madison even moved. Once in the light, Maddie noticed just how muscular Evan was. Evan noticed Maddie was a lot more tanned than the other girls in the area,
"You're not from here…"
"California."
"Awesome. But what are you doing up here?"
"Can we talk later? I just want to find my father." She didn't mean to sound rude, but she managed to.
"Yeah. You're soaking, the bathroom's right there, towels are under the sink. We'll call John when you're done." She nodded and ran into the bathroom, leaving her suitcase in Evan's possession by mistake.

Maddie stood in the shower wondering what she was going to do. She wasn't going to walk out in her towel. She was too embarrassed to call out… lucky for her, Evan heard the shower turn off and he sprang into action.
"Excuse me." He said through the door, realising neither knew the other's name. "Your suitcase is just outside the door. I figured all your clothes were wet so a pair of sweats and a top of mine are there for you."
"Thank you." She mumbled and stuck her hand out the door, searching for the clothes. He picked them up for her and put them in her grasp.
-
"I think I'm a bit taller than you." The male laughed when he saw Maddie in rolled up sweats and a t-shirt that was a few sizes too big. She didn't realise how small she actually was until when he opened the door.
"Yeah."
"You don't talk much do you?"
"No." she proved him right.
"John wasn't home. He's actually outta town. You might have to stay here for the weekend.
"What about your parents?" she asked, looking around to see some authority figures.
"They aren't home, but I swear they won't care. They'll love ya. I know that, and I just met ya."
*End Flashback*
The danger of attraction… it's funny. Because she lets down her guard when she finds someone that is nice, and attractive. Evan, Matt and Jake all had that effect on her. But all in different ways…
