Run Away

Berlyn's Pov:

I'am half asleep when I feel that Cley put me down on my bed. I'm not in a deeper sleep by that time. I'm just feeling tired that's why I close my eyes but i'am still fully aware about what's happening.

After he laid me in my bed, I heard him talking to his dad on his cellphone. I don't want to eavesdrop or something but I have this feeling that I'm the one they are talking to.

So I got curious. Like always said, "Curiosity kills the Cat". And I feel like I'm already killed on the spot when I heard what he said.

"It's about Berlyn. My mate. She's the hybrid we been looking for." He said to his dad.

I've feel more curious so I listened carefully. Just for me to find out that they are planning to kill me. To get rid of me. I felt shock. Betrayed. Being fooled.

"I'm serious dad. That was our problem. You said that we will kill her the moment we find her."

I heard Cley. I heard him saying that. I felt hurt. I feel like I've been stabbed a million times. What was I've done wrong? Why did their going to kill me?

I trust him. I gave him a chance to get to know me. And on the process of getting to know each other, I gave in for the possibility that I might falling for him.

That I accepted him as my mate. He's important to me and all I want is to protect him even though I know that I'm a dangerous one. I'm being true to him.

But why? Why did they want to kill me? Because I'm a hybrid? Am I that dangerous? I'm not going to hurt him nor their pack. I know I can control myself when it comes to him and to everyone he loved the most.

Most of all I won't be able to hurt innocent people. I'm not that bad. I won't coz I know myself. If there is someone who knows me at all, it must be myself. No other than.

I don't want to hear it anymore that's why I decided to cover my ear with pillow. I pretend that I'm a sleep even though my heart is aching too much. All I want right now is to run away. Run as far as I can. I don't want to be near him again.

And I don't want to be killed by him. I'd rather died on the hands of rogues, hunter or vampire, but I can't take it if I'am being killed by him. That's too harsh and too hurt on my part.

I want to live long enough for me to achieve my dream. My dreams that I've been dreaming off before he came and bring me down.

I need to be far away from him no matter what. I keep calm and pretentious when I feel that he's laying beside me. A minutes later, I heared him snore. He's already fall asleep.

And that was the time I need to leave. With my duple bag, cellular phone and important documents I may needed to escape, I left my apartment.

I left him without even knowing my presence. It's hard to leave him like that. But it hurts me more if I choose to stay and accept the reality that he's going to kill me soon.

I ride in a bus for me to arrive in the airport. I need to travel in New York City. It's the only place I know he can't find me.

New York was a large city and if ever he look for me, I know he can't find me that easy. I've already talk to Leslie while I'm on my way to the airport.

I told her that I need to leave immediately. She already accepted my decision. She also lend me some money to my account that can help me to start a new life.

But of course I didn't tell her where i'am going. It's hard for me to lost my only bestfriend, but I need to do this. I know, someday, were gonna see each other again.

But for now, I really needed to say goodbye. Oh, I really hate to say goodbye to someone whom I didn't intended to leave. But I don't have a choice.

"All passengers of flight 143, please proceed to your designated seats. Were going on board in a few minutes. Please fasten your seatbelts for we are ready to take off."

The flight attendant announced. It's only a few minutes, Berlyn. You will be far away with him now. Shit! Why does my heart suddenly broke into pieces?

Just wait a few minutes. When I knew that the plane already take off, I sighed in relief. I'am free now. Free from Cley, rogues and everyone that hunting me. There's only thing that still remains.

The pain that already take over deep inside my heart. And I know it takes so much time, effort and determination before it heals. Or maybe it's forever be in my heart until I died.

Leslie's Pov:

My mind still not functioning well. I think I'm gonna lose my mind when Berlyn called me and said that she badly needed to leave. It's 2 o'clock in the morning for pitty sake!

At first, I tought she's only making a prank call. You know, that bestfriend of mine was a little bit crazy sometimes. No, not a little bit but as always.

But when I heard her serious voice, I knew it. She's not making fun of me. She's really serious about it. I asked her why so suddenly? I don't get it.

Were just laughing and hanging around yesterday and then this is it? She wants to leave Fork City and go far away wherever she wants to go. I don't want her lo leave.

I don't want to lose her. She's my only bestfriend. But her eagerness to leave makes me no choice but to accept her decision. Even though how much I try to make her stay, I know that her decision still follows.

I'm just worried about her. I know shes brave enough. Independent. But we're did she wanna go? She don't have any relatives or siblings that she can rely on.

Since grade school were already friends. That's why i know all about her. Well, actually I don't think so. She's sometimes a secretive type of person.

She's easy to be with but when it comes to her personal life and with feelings involve, she's always aloof and silent. Which is I respected coz that's her privacy after all.

But I know that somethings happening between her and Cley. Oh, come on. It's Andrei whose telling me, okay. Were vibes and close, you know.

I just feel like she's hiding something from me. And sometimes it hurts me. I'm so open to her about my where abouts, but her? I don't think so.

All I know is that she's my bestfriend and I trust her.

Whatever her problem is, I know that it is connected with Cley. Did he hurt her? Did they fight? Did he broke my bestfriends heart?

I grab my phone and dialed Andrei's number. Were close, you know. Fine! I like him. There's something in him that makes my heart flutter. Happy? Tss...

"Hello, Leslie? What's up?" He said. Whoah, just hearing his voice makes me feel excited.

"Is Cley over there? I mean, is he in your condo?" I asked.

"No, he's not here. Why? Why are you asking about him at this hour? It's only 2 am, did you know that?" He said feeling amused.

"Is it possible that Cley is with Berlyn? Oh my gosh. Don't tell me their planning to elope?" I said furiously. I don't know. It's just suddenly popped into my mind.

"What!? Are you crazy? Why did they do that? If ever, I'm sure Cley will inform me." He said. Wow! Fine, their bestfriend after all.

"You're right! But why Berlyn just called me and said that she badly needed to leave? As if she want to run away from someone?" I said. Andrei didn't respond.

"When did she call?" Andrei asked with worries in his voice.

"An hour ago. Maybe she's already reach the airport or she already on board." I said.

That's what Berlyn said. She said she's going to travel overseas but she didn't tell me which country she like to stay.

"What!? Wait a minute, Leslie. I need to call Cley. I'll call you back." He said.

"Okay. Just let me know if something happened. I'm worried about Berlyn." I said and cut off our conversation.

I tried to call Berlyn but she's already unattended. Maybe her phone was in an airplane mode. Oh my gosh. She really did that runaway thing, huh?

But why? Why did she run away? From whom? From Cley? Why did she do that? I have so many question I want to ask but I know I'm not going to get an answer to that.

I lay on my bed. I've decided to go to sleep. But when I close my eyes, I heard someone knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I asked. I'm on my nighties for pitty sake! Mom was already asleep. Maybe my nanny?

"Open the door, Leslie. It's me, Andrei. I'm with Cley." He said in a low voice.

"What!? Wait a minute." I grab my robe and put it on to cover my nighties.

What are they doing here? At this hour? I'm pretty sure something's really wrong. I open the door and they come in. Andrei look at me with an intense look. This is the first time I look on his eyes.

I didn't even try before coz I'm too shy. But now that I look at him and he's also looking at me, I felt different. I feel like there's something about him that makes me weak. Makes me shiver. Makes my heart beat so fast. Oh my! What is this strange feelings?

"What? Are you two going to stare each other the whole time?" Cley said. I broke my eye contact with Andrei.

"So, what are you two doing here?" I asked.

Andrei still looking at me. Why do I have this feeling that he fall in love with me at first glance? My gosh, I'm assuming things now!

"It's about Berlyn. You said she run away?" Cley said.

"Yeah, that's what she said a while ago when she called." I said.

"Did she mention why? I'm on her apartment earlier. I fell asleep. And when I woke up, shes not there anymore." He said. He looked depressed.

"Whoah. And what are you doing in her apartment that late?" I asked.

"I don't have much time to explain right now, Leslie. I just need to know where did Berlyn go?" He said with agony on his face.

"I'm sorry Cley, but I don't know either. She didn't tell me. She said she needed to leave as soon as possible. And I'm sure she's going overseas coz she ask me about passport and she's on the way to the airport a while ago." I said.

When I look on his face, I can tell that he's in a misery right now. And I feel so sorry about it.

"You don't have any idea where she's going? What place maybe?"

"If ever I know, I'm going to tell you right away. I'll try to contact her some other time. But I think it's better to let her go for a while. Maybe she's confused about everything that bothering her. I know her a lot. If she made up her mind, I know she'll be right back. But only her can tell when." I said.

"Thank you. I gotta go. If you have any news about her, just tell me right away." Cley said.

"Sure." I said.

"Let's go, Andrei." He said.

"Can I stay for a while?" Andrei said. Cley look at him.

"Why? Why you want to stay? I'm sleepy, you know." I said.

"Okay. See you tomorrow." Andrei said and to my surprised, he kissed me on my cheeks. What was that? Good night kiss? Suddenly I blushed.

"See you. Good bye!" I said and open the door for them to get out.

"You're not going to run away from me, right?" Andrei said when they are already outside my room.

"What!? Are you crazy? Why would I do that." I said and close the door.

I lock the door and lay on my bed. What's happening to Andrei? And what's happening to me? Why do I feel this strange feelings towards him?

As if in one blink of an eye, I've already like him a lot. That's weird. I sighed deeply. Starting tomorrow, I'll be on my own. Without Berlyn on my side.

I need to continue my dreams to be a fashion designer or be a model after I finish senior high. And I'm sure wherever Berlyn was, I know she's going to pursue her dreams to be a law enforcer.

I just hope that she's doing fine all the time. And I hope that someday, well gonna see each other again...
