Chapter 7. Mistakes
The morning my that my week-long break from school started, I woke up, showered, ate, and packed a bunch of clothes and some toiletries into a duffel bag to take with me back to James' cabin. Then I grabbed my phone and left.
I was about halfway to the cabin when I realized that I forgot my phone charger back at my house. I decided not to go back and get it because the only person who had called me in months was James.
That would turn out to be my first mistake.
Since my dad was still busy getting drunk and ignoring my entire existance, I didn't think that he would even notice my absence, let alone try to call me.
I didn't know it at the time, but I was very wrong.
I had been at James' cabin for four days when everything changed. I had let the battery on my phone die since I wasn't expecting any calls, so I ended up forgetting all about it.
We had both been so busy just hanging out and having a good time, that neither one of us gave any thought about the consequences of our actions. We weren't having sex because we were strictly friends, so we didn't see anything wrong with me staying with him for a week. Unfortunately, we had forgotten another major issue.
Our ages.
Even though I was 15 and he was 23, we had never given any thought to any problems our friendship might cause because we both saw and thought of each other as equals. It also didn't help that I was very mature for my age. It just made it easier to forget that I was still a minor in the eyes of the law.
We didn't realize our mistakes until it was too late.
A/N: I just wanted my readers to know that I MIGHT be posting another chapter later tonight.
Also, this totally unrelated to my story, but for my readers who are big fans of Robert Pattinson, if you haven't gone and seen his new movie The Rover, I suggest you go see it if it's in a theatre near you. It was really really good. His performance was so different from when he was in the Twilight movies. He better win some kind of award for it! It was phenominal! I will warn you though, that there is some graphic violence in it, (so if you're not a fan of blood, don't see it.)
See you later! :)
