Away. An original story by -SBO-GracieMonster Chapter 1 Away This is the POV of a 16 year old, runaway named Jasmine Sullivan. Loser. Fat. Ugly. Stupid. The words echoed in my head as I ran frantically away from a place I once called home. I was determined to get away, not knowing where to go. I wasn't going to put up with it anymore. No more beatings, no more names, no more neglect. Who would think there own parents would treat them so horridly? I bet you didn't. Right? My bare feet thudded against the cold, hard concrete as I ran farther and farther away from the prison I once lived. I skidded to a halt once I knew I couldn't be caught at that moment. Pacing, I brainstormed where I could live for the last couple- years because I surely knew I was never returning to that hell hole, ever. This is the POV of a 16 year old boy named Marcus Andrews "Alright so what about Jasmine?" My eyes widened as I heard my older brother say her name. Jasmine. The cutest girl in 10th grade, at least in my eyes. I've had the biggest crush on her since I was 9. "Jasmine? No, I'd never date her. I mean look she's a- a math nerd!" I laughed phonily as I listened to the words coming out of my mouth. I was disgusted with myself but no one, not even blood, could know of my admiration of Jasmine. She was a nerd while I was the school "Jock". I can't lie, It is awesome being all popular and stuff but I yearned to be with Jasmine. "I know right! What about Ashley? She's a babe." "Hell Yeah." I smirked, as i hopped onto of the kitchen counter. "I'll be in basement if ya need me brah-" "Yeah" I stood up and ran a stray hand through my messy, uncombed hair and peaked out the window. I squinted as I saw a girl of a familiar face, pacing in the woods across from my home. That's when I realized it was Jasmine. Dear Readers, I apologize for boring you to death but I swear it'll get better as the story progresses. That is if you want the story to go on. Grandpa
