We all need that person who can be true.

Jacqueline's POV*

My tears fell as hard as the rain around me. I sat quietly on my dark green sleeping bag, residing under the PCH. I was far from home. Too far. But I can't go back. Not now, not ever.

"Hey little one"

"Hi" I said in a small voice.

It's been about a week since I've left. The first night I met Bryce.

I ran as fast as my beaten and bruised body could take me. Hot tears rolled down my face and the cold air whirled around me. I turned the corner down by the high school and I ran right into another person, sending me towards the concrete sidewalk with a pain-filled screech.

"Shh! Be quiet!" The person hissed, putting his/her large hand over me mouth.

Oh my god.. I'm gonna die!

"GET BACK HERE YOU WORTHLESS FUCKER!" A booming voice shouted from the darkness. Without a doubt being pissed.

"Are you running away?"

I nodded while trying to stop the burning pain in my rib cage. They started to pick me up and I squirmed around trying to get away.

"If you don't stop you're gonna get us both sent back. It's obvious you are in pain and we need to get out of here fast." The person explained and carried me back behind a dumpster.

We sat behind the giant hunk of trash and metal whilst I rummaged through my bag for my inhaler. After taking a few puffs I stopped crying, feeling the medicine run through my body.

"What's your name?" I asked, now seeing this person clearly.

They were obviously a guy. He had short, wavy, brown hair and brown eyes, one of them covered with a nasty purplish mark. His face was dirty and his lip was bleeding.

"I'm Bryce"

And that was that. Ever since that night, Bryce and I have taken care of each other. He and I both share the burden of being a teenage run-away. We're looked down upon. Judged. Hungry. Cold. Homeless. Beggars. And we live in constant fear. We could go to sleep one night and never wake up. We could be mugged, raped, killed, or be found and sent back home.

"What are you doing?" Bryce sat down next to me in the rain and put his arm around me.

I sighed and dropped me head against his shoulder. "Sitting. Thinking. This is all so weird."

"I know sweetie, I know."

"Wait a second..."

Is that.. Erin?

"Oh shit. We gotta go, now!" I said a little too loud and pulled Bryce up and away from the hill.

We hid in the bushes and I watched the scene unfold before me.

Brian's POV*

Erin got out of the car and walked around. I opened the door to my car and pulled my hoodie up, slowly getting out.

As I walked over to the sidewalk I heard a way too familiar voice.

"..we gotta go, now!"

"Jacqueline?!" I shouted and looked around frantically.

"Did you see her?" Erin asked and ran over to me.

"I swear I heard her!"

Erin just looked at me with the most heartbroken look I've ever seen. She put her hand over her mouth and started to cry.

"Brian.. That's the fifth time this happened.." She whimpered out before completely breaking down on dropping to the ground.

I sat there and let everything sink in.

Oh god...

Jacqueline's POV*

I grabbed my jacket and pulled it over my face so my sobbing couldn't be heard. I looked up and watched as my best friend cried hysterically on the floor.

See the stuff I cause. Jimmy is right, I always fuck shit up. GOD DAMNIT!

I got up and walked away from the bushes and over to the entrance to the highway.

"FUCK! YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" I screamed and kicked the barrels around me.

"Hey hey hey. Kiddo calm down." Bryce said and ran over to me.

He wrapped his arms around me and buried my face into his chest.

My life is just one huge shitstorm that won't ever fucking stop.
