Jack's POV -~-~-~-~-~-~ Friday night (The day after Ale threatened Jack saying she is going to hurt Grace) _________________________________ I walked into my room. It was about 12:30 am but my parents didn't care. I had been walking around in the park thinking about what Ale had said. I finally knew what I had to do. I had to watch Grace 24/7. I had to tell Grace, but I had to tell her not to tell anyone. I couldn't let Ale hurt her! I put on a jacket and climbed out my window. I began to run to Grace's house. Grace's POV ---~~~---~~~--- I was sleeping when suddenly I heard something at my window. I instantly grabbed the knife that I kept next to my bed ever since the fight with Ale, and sat up. The sound came again. I looked over to the window and saw someone in the tree outside my window. They were knocking and trying not to fall out of the tree. I didn't think Ale would knock, but I still brought my knife as I walked to the window. I threw it open and held up my knife ready to bring it down on whoever was out there. "Careful with that knife, I don't want to bleed all over this beautiful tree," he said and I instantly knew it was Jack. "What are you doing out there?!?," I said, lowering my knife and putting it on my bookshelf. He climbed through my window and stood up in front of me. "I need to talk to you," he said in an urgent tone. I knew it must be something important so I went over to my bed and sat down. He sat down next to me and explained what Ale had said and he explained why we could never tell anyone.
Grace's POV ---~~~---~~~--- After Jack finished telling me about what Ale had said I sat there, not knowing what to say next. Suddenly, I started to cry. Jack held me and tried to comfort me but it didn't help. Ale was going to try to kill me!! I looked up at Jack with tears running down my cheeks. "What are we going to do?" I asked He looked at me with his bright blue eyes, and it looked like he was about to cry too. "We are going to do the only thing we can do," he said. "Which is?" I asked. "Run away," he said. I looked up at him with shock. "What?!? Are you crazy?? We can't run away!!" I said in a whisper/ scream. Jack's POV -~-~-~-~-~-~- I looked at her, her dark blue eyes full of sadness, shock, and worry. "It'll be ok," I said "We'll have each other and we're old enough to find jobs and make a living. You know the code for your bank account right?" "Yeah. Why?" Grace asked. She looked confused. "We need to take the money out. Your college fund too. I'm doing the same to mine," I said "We're going to need money if we want to go to college and our parents will probably take the money out after we leave." "I can't leave my family!" Grace said. Unlike me, she had a great family. Her parents loved her, and she loved them. I didn't like my parents. They were rich and bought me stuff to make me behave. ________________________________ I'll write more later. Need Togo to school.
