MORGAN'S POINT OF VIEW---

It's been two days since we found out Callie ran away. Calum hasn't been going to school, and he won't answer any of our texts or calls. Michael and I go over there sometimes to check up on him, but he doesn't answer the door, either. Usually his sister answers it, but then tells us Calum's busy, which is a huge lie. What could he be doing besides lying in his bed crying, he doesn't do homework and we're his only friends.

CALLIE'S POINT OF VIEW---

A lot of people who have done it say that running away was a really bad decision- not me. The only thing keeping me from loving this is being worried about Calum. Otherwise this is really great. The bruises are getting smaller, and I've been eating enough to gain a little bit of the weight I lost.

I fall asleep looking at stars, and for one of the first times in five years I'm not that scared. I don't know when I can go back. Probably whenever my social worker realizes I'm not playing around with this. I will stay out here as long as I need to for me to be moved into a different home.

I sit up when my phone goes off again. The little bright screen turns on, and starts vibrating. All I've been getting lately are calls from my friends, and mostly Calum. I haven't answered any of them.

CALUM

ANSWER OR IGNORE

I bite my lip, and hesitantly click answer. "Um. Hi, Calum."

"Where are you?" His voice sounds like he's been crying, but he wants to sound normal. I frown, taking a deep breath. I didn't think hearing his voice would make me so home sick. And by home sick I mean Calum sick.

"I can't tell you that."

"Why not?" He asks, his voice quivering a bit.

I close my eyes, choosing not to answer his question. "I can't go back until they move me to a different home. I can't- I can't do that anymore." I can just imagine his face. It probably looks like a puppy being slapped in the face while it was sleeping.

"Callie." He whispers. My stomach tightens. "I- need to see you."

"I can't tell you where I am, I told you that."

"Then meet me somewhere." He pauses. "If this is what you need to do, then do it. I love you. I don't care if I'm okay as long as you are, so you can run away, you can not answer any one of everyone's many calls and texts, but please, don't push me away too." My eyes start watering. "We don't have to date. I get it if it's too much for you right now, but please don't push me away, Callie."

"Okay." I say quietly. "I can meet you tomorrow, I don't care where."

I hear him sigh in relief and happiness, "Okay, how's behind the school? Cause tomorrow's Saturday?"

"Okay."

JESS'S POINT OF VIEW---

Ashton opens the door, and I invite myself into his room. He smiles slightly and turns around to face me. "Yes?"

"Okay look, I need to know why you kissed me." I cross my arms. He looks to his side, then back at me. "Well?" Ashton walks over to me, puts his hands on my hips and then backs me up into his door. "What are you..." He tucks a piece of hair behind my ear, and hovers his mouth over my neck.

"Why do you think I kissed you?" He asks quietly, hot breath on my neckand intertwining his fingers with mine and pinning my hand to the door.

"I don't- I don't know." I stutter.

"I think you do." He kisses my neck lightly.

"Y-You like me?"

"Bingo." He smiles.
