After a few weeks I was settled in with Lena and Stef. We had put it all behind us and moved forward but I still didn't feel save. I feel someone watching me, every time I go outside. I feel like I'm being followed but when I turn around, no one is there. Today it all came crashing down. I got a letter.

We know it was you, you're a dead girl.

I was pretty sure it was from one of Emilio's men. I knew I was right, I knew he had hired someone to kill me. I had to think of a plan

''Who was it from?'' Lena asks. I look at her confused.

''The letter.'' She says.

''Oh, it was from Steve.'' I lie. We all sat down for diner and started eating. I barely touched my food. I couldn't stop thinking about the letter.

''You okay?'' Mariana asks me.

''Yeah I'm good. Just not really hungry.'' I say and decide I should eat at least something.

The next day Lena told me there was another letter for me. I knew who sent it.

Darling, I will see you soon.

It has pictures of me inside the envelope. They had been taken when I walked around at school, in the mall and even in the house.

''From Steve again?'' Lena asks

''Yeah.'' I lie. I go upstairs and think of a plan. I can't tell Stef and Lena they might get hurt. He knows where we live. I can't tell the police because he will know that too. I could only think of one thing to do: run.

That night we all eat diner together.

''We have a surprise.'' Stef says and she looks at Lena. Together they walk to Callie.

''Robert finally signed the adoption papers.'' They both say excited. Everyone freaks out and starts talking through each other.

''We have an appointment in court on Wednesday.'' Lena says.

''Really?'' Callie says happily then turns and she hugs her moms.

I realize they will be gone Wednesday, so if I wanted to do something I'd have to do it then. Monday was in 2 days so I made a plan that night. I'd grab some money from my account tomorrow, pack a few things I hope they will not notice. Then I will make a plan on where I'm going. Wednesday I'd pack the rest and leave.

It was finally Wednesday. I had my money ready and my bag is ready to be packed but then Stef came to me after breakfast.

''Would you like to come to court with us?'' She asks.
Why did she have to be so sweet. I can't say no but I have to.

''Is it okay if I stay here?'' I ask.

''Sure, we'll be back in 3 hours.'' Stef says and with that they all leave.

Once I'm sure they're gone I rush upstairs. I leave my suitcase and only pack the important things in my black weekend bag. I grab my passport from Stef and Lena's room and walk to the kitchen. I grab two water bottles and put them in my bag as well.

I stand in the kitchen, doubting if I should leave a note with an explanation. I decide to leave the letters and pictures behind on the kitchen table. I walk out the door towards the nearest bus stop. I get the first bus and stare out the window.

I decide to go to the people I met when I lived on the streets before. I walked to our usual spot and saw no one. I sat down on the bench and thought of what I would do next.

''Princess, long time no see.'' I hear behind me. I forgot that's what they used to call me.

''Nickey, hi.'' I say as I turn around and give her a hug.

''Where you been at?''

''Long story, where's the rest.''

''Johnny got busted for breaking in. He'll be out in 5 months. Jason and Lucky are back at our spot. C'mon I'll take ya.'' She says and together we walk towards the new spot.

The boys greet me when they see me. They've always seen me as their little sister and have been protective over me.

''So Princess, what have you been up to? It's been a few years.'' Lucky says.

I tell them how I got in contact with Emilio, he I got out and how I met Stef and Lena. I tell them I went back in and about the letters.

''Ain't nobody gonna touch you when I'm alive.'' Jason says and I smile.

''I've missed you guys.'' I say.

''How was that family you where at?'' Nickey asks curious.

''They where nice. They already had 5 children. Lena's a vice principal at school and Stef's a cop.'' I say.

''It's nice to have ya back princess.'' Jason says.

A few days later Lucky comes to me saying he found a letter for me at our spot. I open it.

Can't hide from us 'Princess'.
