thats the fanfic I wrote in the summer. I appreciate the love I still get for LeeCee and Chris and I know you all wan’t it allll baaaaaaccck *chris voice* lol but I don’t know how to bring it back. What the plot should be. I feel like its just going to get boring and I didn’t want that to happen so I started Adorn. But if you all want withoutyou back send me messages and comments and ideas and I’ll see what I can muster up. =)
I didn’t realize what I was doing. I should never have told him all that but I always want to help people like me. Running isn’t easy but sometimes you feel like it’s your only option. I know the feeling I ran at least three times a year. No matter how nice people are you can’t tell them everything people don’t give a shut unless they’ve been where you’ve been. People don’t understand either to them it’s petty your an ungrateful brat for running.

“El Chris wants to talk to you?” Nessa says coming into my room and handing me the phone before rushing out she thinks it’s creepy in here.
“Hello?” I ask my voice laced with sleep.
“She’s here how did you know?” he asks whispering. I laugh it was a lucky guess. Chris isn’t the sweetest gentle caring person on the planet to be so thoughtful as to buy a book for someone. So it was obvious they had a good relationship she ran away to see him.
“Been there done that” I say stretching myself out and letting out a sigh. “Bring her by today if you can. How old is she?” I ask him curiously
“Fifteen and alright” he says
“Chris I hate this bitch, she’s the worst and she’s ugly as fuck you could do better!” I hear what I assume is the girls voice and laugh.
“Good luck” I say hanging up and getting out of bed. I get dress in some workout clothes and Jordans and go to meet Chris at the cafe.

I see her and shake my head, she doesn’t even know how fucking beautiful she is.
“Why you bring me here to have some lame book worm talk to me” Tasha says as El comes over.
“Hey” she says brushing me off and looking at Tasha, I try my best not to be insulted.
“This is her?” Tasha asks shocked as El sits in between us.
“I’m El” she says introducing herself.
“Tasha and you’re so pretty!” Tee says making El uncomfortable like people have never told her that before.
“Everyones pretty” she says brushing it off.
“El used to run too” I say her eyes go huge.
“Really why?” Tee asks
“I hated my house. My sister was always out and my brother was moving so I felt he was the only one who understood me and was gone.” she says looking down and beginning to fidget.
“I know how it feels Tasha but running isn’t worth it. You can go to jail for it and miss milestones” she adds looking away like she knew all about it.
“Jail, you’re joking?” Tee asks.
“If the police waste their resources trying to find someone whose hiding yes you can be charged” El says
“Where’d your brother move to?” Tasha asks curiously, the color in El’s eyes leave she nor Nessa never talks about a brother.
“Florida and we lived in Colorado I was thirteen at the time my parents who I didn’t think would care were scared silly” She says my jaw drops. Colorado to Florida is a fucking journey she’s a gee.
“We can talk anytime Tee but you can’t just leave home and fucking scare me like that” I tell her. They’d been so caught up they forgot I was here.
“I’m sorry, I won’t do it again” Tee says hugging me. I smile hugging her back.
El leaves after they talk some more and I can tell Tasha is obsessed with her. “I thought Nessa was gorgeous but El is an Angel” she says on the ride to the bus station making me laugh. “And she’s that pretty with no attitude I don’t believe it” She says amazed making me laugh.
“I’m glad she could help” I tell her.
“I can’t believe she isn’t like a model or something” Tasha says me to she works at a bookstore and spends spare time locked up in her room.

There were a million things I wanted to do but none of them seemed right. I wanted to curse Nessa and my sister the fuck out for making El go on that date. She was innocent as fuck, you should have seen the way she looked at the guy. Fear, confusion and hate all in one. Then the way she looked at us after we nearly killed him, I never wanted females to see that side of me but I didn’t think it just happened. We all felt the same we don’t really know her but she needed us to protect her and that’s what we did.
Besides what kind of birch nigga touches a girl like that after she makes it clear she wants him to stop. Fucking idiot.
“Chris calm down” Tina says as everyone watches me uneasy.
“You didn’t see it, Tina. The way she looked at us. You’re lucky as hell we were there or it’d be way worse!” Tyga yells usually I would tell him to watch his tone but he was right. She would have been raped by that sorry ass nigga and scared stiff.

I painted and it helped a bit, a lot actually. I managed to persuade myself it’s no big deal, besides all he touched was fabric right? I get up and head to work early to read and get my mind more clear. When my shift starts I’m helping people like I normally do to my surprise I see Chris walk in. I turn and walk up an aisle; I don’t feel like facing people today.
“What’s up” I hear his voice say but I keep my eyes fixed on the books in front of me and putting them in file correctly.
“Not much” I respond glancing at him briefly.
“I want to get this book called the Coldest Winter ever” he days I smile it was one of my favourites when I was fifteen. I get it and pass it to him.
“It’s a good book a bit raw but good” I say making him laugh.
“I know I read it in juve, it’s for my cousin she’s a lot like Winter” he says. I’d never thought in a million years that he read. Much less related actual life back to characters using books to talk to people.
“El! We need you!” my boss yells.
“Well I hope she likes it” I say walking to the front of the store and working on customer service. The day passes way to slow and I’m only too happy to go home and relax.
“El your home” Nessa says jumping in my arms I know she’s sorry being angry is unnecessary. Tina is next and I’m being suffocated by the two hugging me. I laugh happy to see the two boys smiling at me too we all sit on the couch watching movies.
I wake up and see it’s way after the time I should have started work but I have a txt from the company saying I don’t lose pay for coming in and smile happy but confused. I read my horoscopes intently it’s pretty much all I read about. The relationship I have with myself is the mort important to my life. Once I know who I am and set morals and standards others will respect it too and that’s what makes me stand out.
“Let’s go to the beach house and go swimming” Nessa says I smile at the idea swimming sounds great right now.
“I’m cool with that” I response going to get my things. I drive to the familiar hang out and I’m true first one in the pool. They laugh jumping in with me.
“Please tell me why you’re in that surf shirt?” Tina asks laughing at me.
“Because I don’t like showing my upper body” I say pushing her under it isn’t the complete truth but isn’t a lie either.
“Why” she asks innocently not understanding the gravity of things I really can expect her to either.
“I’m not ready to talk about it yet” I respond honestly getting her off my back Nessa didn’t get it as bad as me physically. But she needed therapy for years for the emotional stuff. It helped but she still has scars that she has to live with. Therapy didn’t help me at all, the damage was done no amount of treatments could help. The doctors were amazed with how I wasn’t kicking and screaming for my life all the time so they made me wear a monitor. They noticed that I was calmest when I’m either writing, reading, painting or listening to music. Poof here I am now.

My bitch Ashley and I had just finished when Tina, Nessa and El rolled up in here like a tornado. Ashley isn’t a favorite with my sister so I got her out fast. They were funny as hell in the pool El could swim like a fish and Tina and Nessa don’t know what to make of it as she pulls them under and splashes them like she’s a kid.
I see Ty and Shad watching too and laughing then we all look at each other the same way. We were going to crash the he’ll out of there fun. I get on a pair of trunks and we all get downstairs quietly we head out to the pool and I grab Tina. Ty grabs El and shad grabs Nessa we jump in with them and they all scream it was funny as hell.
“Y’all ain’t shit for that!” Nessa yells sitting up on the edge fixing her hair, shad shuts her up with a kiss making us all laugh.
“You’re paying for me to go to the hair dresser tomorrow nigga!” Tina says rolling her neck at me.
“Yeah, Yeah” I say looking up to see El pushing Ty in and jumping in behind him then she pulls shad under and she pulls me in by my leg causing the girls to cheer as she climbs out.
“That’s my sister!” Ness cheers as they high five.
She’s mad cool once you get to know her. I guess were a lot alike because we don’t open up to people before we know we can trust em.
The other four went to shower after El and I but I’m sure they were doing much more than that. I see El looking down at the city. We called it the beach house because you could see the beach from it and we mostly swam there. She was just taking it all in. I stand beside her and she jumps startled.
“You scared me” she says looking out again, she wasn’t as calm as earlier she’s going back to her quiet state where she only observes not a word.
“My bad” I respond looking at her eyes are fucking crazy, she gets self conscious looking away.
“So how did your cousin like the book?” she asks as the wind blows her loose hair onto her face.
“She didn’t get it, she ran away” I respond Tasha had it all but she was just fucking stubborn. I smile appears on El’s face it was soft.
“Don’t look for her, next time shell hide better” she says never looking at me always fixed on the person in her own little world. It’s like talking to a piece of her, like she’s not conscious.
“No she won’t comeback if we don’t look” I say positively she lives in Arizona she loves me the most but me leaving made her mad.
“Trust me I used to run. It’s a game of how long you can stay away like hide and seek. Once she realizes no one’s looking she’ll come home.” she says her eyes turning the color of the stars.
“Why’d you run?” I ask and just like that her smile fades its back to reality.
“Too many reasons to count” she says looking me dead in the eyes trying to see if she could trust me, then she looks away I guess deciding not to. “She might show up on your doorstep. If you need help with her bring her to me I owe you anyways” she days walking away she doesn’t go inside but she disappears into the darkness of the night.
