I walked toward my bed and saw that it was Lauren. She was sleeping on the blanket with her cell right next to her. I guess she was waiting for me to call or something. I woke up her up and she looked over at me. "Ryan? Is that you?" She saw me as she looked over and got up. "Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked. "Well, I told my parents that you ran away, and we came over. My parents were so worried, they decided to stay here for your parents." "Wow..." I sat down. "What?" "I left... and I... I got everyone worried. I just can't stand getting people so worried..." "It's alright. As long as if you are alright." She held my hand and leaned against me. After a long pause, she asked "So why did you run away?" "I-I rather not say." "C'mon, please?" She made a sad little face. It always made me feel a little guilty. I sat there, thinking whether or not if I should tell her or not. "I won't force you into anything." She kissed my cheek and stood up and left the room to get her parents. _Did I do the right thing?_ http://ficlets.com/feed/story/29542
