-Next morning, day 2-
*Caisey's POV*
The next morning, I woke up at 9:37. I went to check on Kori and J-Jay. They were still sleeping. I decided to wake them up so we could plan our next move.
*J-Jay's POV*
"J-JAY!! Get your lazy butt up!"
"What do you want Caisey?"
"I want you and Kori to get up!"
"Why?"
"Oh.. I don't know.. Maybe it's because sooner or later, if our parents actually miss us, they, or police, might be looking for us."
"HOLY SHIT! I FORGOT!"
"I see that Jennifer, now get up."
After I sat up, Caisey went to wake Kori up. I grabbed a few dollars, and went down to find some vending machines for some snacks. I got into the elevator, and decided to play Caisey's little game, and press as many buttons as possible.
-5 minutes later, when J-Jay finally reached the lobby floor after going through four or five stops-
When I got to the lobby, and the doors opened, I saw her. My mom. I hopped over to the side of the elevator, hoping she wouldn't see me. Then I got off at the next stop, and ran all the way to the room.
"CAISEY! KORI! HIDE!!"
"Why?" Caisey said, sitting up on the couch.
"My mom's here! Thats why!!"
"Holy shit!" Kori screamed.
"SHUSH! and HIDE!!"
Casiey, Kori, and I took off under her bed. We made it just in time. When we got under, her door opened. CRAP! Our bags! I ran to the other side of the room to grap our bags.
"J-JAY!" Caisey whispered loudly.
"If they see our stuff, it'd give us away!"
I hide our few things behind pillows, in bathroom cabinets, and under the bed with us. I got back under, and watched feet go pass the bed.
"But we miss them so much!" I heard my mom say. Now, if only she meant it.
"It's OK ma'am, we'll find your children." Police will believe anything! I saw Caisey's mom's shoes walk by.
"I need to go back home and get ready for church. Here's my number if you find anything." Just like Caisey's mom. Church before her own child. I looked over at Caisey, and saw a tear going down her face. It's been tough since her dad.. passed away. Kori put his arm around Caisey, and tried to keep her from crying.
After about ten minutes, everyone was gone. We climbed out from under the bed. Caisey's eyes were bloodshot from crying so much. She and Kori sat on the couch, and I got our things together. Caisey and Kori came and helped me after awhile.
We began planning.
"OK!" I said, "We can take a taxi for three hours, to get away from here. Then we can walk to the next hotel."
Casiey thought a bit, then said, "If we do that, we need a disguise, just in case, and we don't have much ro disguise ourselves with."
"True." Kori said.
I thought some more, "Plus, taxis here are hard to get, and expensive."
"I say we just walk." Caisey suggested. We all agreed on that, gathered all our things, and headed to the lobby's vending machines to get a candy bar and a drink for everyone.
-2 hours later, noon -
*Casiey's POV*
"I think we should take a break, my feet hurt!" I said. We had been walking for at least two hours. We all stopped walking and sat at the nearest bench. I drank the last five drops of my drink, and looked over at J-Jay and Kori.
"Wow Kori. I think you should really get an icepack for that bruise."
"Nah, it doesn't hurt much anymore."
"I think you should!" J-Jay said, hugging her brother.
"Yeah!" I said, also hugging Kori.
"I still have half a bottle of Dr.Pepper left, and it's a little cold. I'll use it, OK?"
"OK!" J-Jay and I said in unison.
We all got up after about five minutes, and continued walking down the highway roads.
-9:30 PM-
We made it! We made it to California. I don't know what city though. Chances are, we have a while till we get to Oakland.
We were walking on some road, when we saw a girl sitting on the sidewalk. She had long blonde hair, ripped jeans, and a Green Day tee on.
"Caisey, Kori," I said pointing towards the girl, " lets go see her."
Caisey shrugged and walked over. She doesn't get that shy around people.
"Hey! Im Caisey. That's Kori, and that's J-Jay." She said pointing to me and Kori.
"Im Zoey, but if you call me that, I'll slap the shit out of you. Call me Zo."
Caisey smiled and said, "I like your attitude. Nice to meet you Zo."
I walked over and asked Zo what she was doing on the streets, especially at 9:30 at night.
" I ran away from.. my hell hole."
"What's going on in your hell hole?" Caisey asked.
" I live with my aunt and uncle. My parents died a few years back when I was eleven."
"I know how you feel. My dad killed himself. No one knows why though."
She lied. Caisey knows he didn't kill himself. So do Kori and I. She doesn't like to talk about it though.
"Finally," was all Zo said.
"So, do you wanna come with us? We're gonna try to make it to Oakland." Kori said.
"Well, depends."
"On what?"
"Why are yall tryin' to get to Oakland?"
"We ran away from home too."
"Are you all brother and sisters?"
"No, Me and J-Jay are, but Caisey's our best friend."
"Why you runnin away from home."
Kori stopped talking, hanged his head down, and sat the road.
"Our parents beat us," I said, when I finally snapped out of the bad memories that ran through my head like a film.
"oh.. I'll come then."
Caisey smiled, picked up some of our bags again, and began walking down the road.
We decided it would be better to share rooms. We thought it would be safer.
