Teenage Runaways
Chapter One
I ran through the woods in my white converse. I should've picked something more comfortable. But it doesn't matter. I just need to hop a train. I pushed the branches away from me as I hear the horns of a train. I began running faster before reaching the gravel. Heavy breaths escaped my lips as I jogged along side the train. I narrowed my eyes and wiped the sweat off of my cheek before glancing down at my blue bloodstained sleeve. I cursed myself and looked to my side noticing the railing beside me. I clenched my jaw and grabbed it with both hands and pulled myself up into it. Leaning into the opening, I fell in. I laid flat on my stomach panting loudly. Taking off my backpack I laid on my back still huffing. I did it. I hopped a train. I smiled lightly and shuffled around digging in my backpack.
"Need some water, love?" I jumped gripping my pocket knife.
"Who are you?!" I hissed narrowing my eyes looking around. I backed away holding the weapon behind my back.
"Harry Styles." He said lowly.
"Who are you?" I looked in the direction in which the voice was coming from. I spun around and opened it.
"Luna Black." He shined a flashlight in my face. I squinted.
"Luna Black." He whispered gently to himself.
"Runaway?"
"Yeah." I replied putting my knife away and grabbing a granola bar.
"Same." He added. I listened to him shuffle and he sat beside me after closing the train's door. He a flashlight up so we could see. I studied his features. Emerald green eyes, curly chestnut hair, white perfect teeth and plump lips. I moved away from him slightly.
"Want one?"
"Yes." I dug through my bag and pulled one out before sliding it to him. He took it and opened it taking a large bite. I smiled to myself. He stared at me with dark eyes. I glanced away.
"I don't bite." He smirked.
"That's what they all say."
"I wouldn't lie." He winked laying down. I copied his motion and laid beside him.
"Where to, Luna Black?"
"I'm not sure. I plan to be off and running before sunrise." I mumbled looking up.
"Hmm. I'll wake you. Just go to sleep." He murmured. I frowned and nodded.
"Okay." He swiftly moved closer to me. I drifted off into a deep sleep.
----- 2:34am
"Luna." Harry hissed shaking me.
"What Harry? I'm up."
"We have to go." I sat up and looked at the time then at the door. I watched the lights flash and my eyes darted to the car's back door.
"Okay. I have an idea." I whispered standing up. The lights grew brighter and I knew we might be caught. I pulled Harry up with me. I kicked the doors open and we began running through train cars. We didn't stop until the last car. I took a deep breath.
"Harry, I can't jump." I whimpered.
"Just go." He growled. I shivered. The lights quickly began to get brighter and I hear voices a few cars in front of us.
"Harry I can't. Not-" He glared at me and grabbed my waist after securing his backpack. Then he jumped with me in his arms. Before I knew it, we were in the grass. He pulled me up.
"Come on! We need to run!" He hissed.
"Look there's someone!" An authority yelled.
"Fuck!" I cursed. Harry dragged me along. We began sprinting with two authorities behind us. I began running faster. Harry and I ran as fast as we could at the same pace. Small branches whipped me and thorns stuck me. I grunted and kept running. Harry would curse occasionally.
"Shit. Shit. Shit." I whispered.
"I think we lost them." He mumbled collapsing to the ground. I fell beside him. I looked ahead of us. I listened to another train.
"No! Harry. Get up. Get the fuck up!!" I yelled pulling him.
"There's another train!" I shrieked. He got up swiftly but tiredly and we began running.
---- Beside the train
I sprinted as Harry held his hand out.
"I got it!" I said loudly.
"I know." I grabbed the railing and enjoyed the wind whipping my hair around. Harry pulled me in just before we went into a tunnel. I laid my back on his chest. I felt it rise and fall. He wrapped his arms around me. I closed my eyes and shuffled resting my head on his lower abdomen. I slowly shut my eyes.
"Luna?"
"Yeah, Harry?" I whispered.
"Together?" I was shocked by his one word question. But I wouldn't do this alone. Not without him.
"Together." I replied. He stroked my hair and drifted off.
