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. Grace
Away. An original story by -SBO-GracieMonster Part 1 of Chapter 2: What? Jasmine Homeless? I thought to myself as I slumped against a tree. Where would I get food? Would I go hungry? I tried to picture myself starving, living on the side of a road, begging for change. What will happen when my parents come looking for me? Ugh. So many thoughts flooded my mind as I stared up at the clouds passing before me. I wish I could live as freely as the clouds without a care in the world. Suddenly, a large call startled my thoughts. I panicked and stood up, looking for somewhere to hide. "Hello?" There It was again. A large tree caught my eyes and I darted towards it. I can surely climb the tree with ease as i've always been a pro at climbing all sorts of things. "Jasmine?" I was to late. A handsome boy who appeared about my age stared at me. He looked extremely familiar. damn. "....Yes i'm Jasmine..." "What are you doing here? You look a mess! Where are your shoes?" "None of your concern." The boy stared at me again. I know I've seen him somewhere before. That face. That stare. Marcus.... "Marcus?" He ignored me and grabbed ahold of my wrist. "C'mon let's get you cleaned up. Maybe, we can go get a bite to eat, aye?" I didn't hesitate. After all, I was starving and filthy. Maybe I gave Marcus a bad rep. Maybe he is a good person.
