Chapter 21
I picked the phone up. It was my phone. The house didn't have a phone. " hello?". I wasn't expecting any phone calls. " yeah, we are looking for a guy named Jake. He is tall. Brown hair, brown eyes. We tracked you from your visit at the gas station". I dropped my phone.
I had no idea what to do. He was wanted or something ?! I took a deep breath and picked up the phone. " miss? Are you there?". The voice belonged to a man. He seemed young. " I am here. What is this about? And who are you?". I didn't know if I wanted to know. It was too much.
" we are from a private school. Around 1 hours away from that gas station. Jake ran away. He must come back". I sighed. He was still upstairs. " can I call you back?". I asked cause all I wanted was to get up to him and ask him stuff. " sure, you have our number". " wait a second" " yes". " it's summer now". I said. " yes, he has been gone for 2 weeks. 2 weeks before school ends". So he ran away. But from what? " thanks". I said and I ended the call.
I walked upstairs to see him with his bag. Was he packing? " hi". I said as I walked in. He hid a small bag from me. He tucked it deep in his bag. " hey. Can you give me a minute?". He looked at me with one hand on the bag. " no, I want to talk to you". I said with a worried voice. I hated that I had that voice. It made me reveal my feelings even though I didn't want to.
" get out, please". He came and put his hands on my waist. I moved them away. " Jake,Who are you?". He looked as if he got caught. His eyes were wide open and I stood a step away from him.
