I ran, and ran, and ran as far as I could, just to be away from them. Away from Wilson's family and house. Before I leave, good thing that the gate were opened so there wouldn't be any hassle for me to stop dashing through.
I folded my arms near to my chest and rubbed it to heat myself up despite to the cold atmosphere. Since the atmosphere is moist, I think it is going to rain.
Shit.
I do not know how much I ran for because my mind is only focusing from the falling drops that was starting to hit my head. I turned to my left, then to right, to find any shelter but unlucky me, the rain caught me.
I unbuttoned my suit to place it on top of my head, leaving me in a white sando. My surprisingly black shoes (surprisingly because I never wore this kind of thing) was getting wet from the puddle.
The rain is riding over the noise of busy cars on the dark street, trees were swaying side to side and the chilling air giving goosebumps.
As I run, million of thoughts were running inside making me to grew stress.
'What am I doing?'
That question mentally popped instantly on my head and made me to stop on my tracks. I slowly loose the grip on my suit that was on top of my head,
'What am I really doing?'
Then, the passing by strangers on my side with umbrellas starting to look at me weirdly. Of course, I am on the middle of the path while drenching badly.
"S-sir, do you need help?" A concerned voice peered to snap my zoning. "Do you need a ride back to your home? Come and I'll drive you. You will catch a cold." He continued.
I dropped the suit and glance at him. "N-no. Thanks by the way." I smiled at my best and realizing that he was on the car. The man insisted more but I keep saying 'It's okay' when it is not really. He drove away.
Now it shoots me. I know why I am here, maniacally-looking, haggard, wet, confused, scared and hopeless because I am running away.
But I don't know where.
Grandma's house?
Yes.
I dashed again as I take a sharp turn to place where I really belong, not in any mansion where living with riches. When I nearly spotted the small cottage where I and my grandma used to spend time together and the small cottage that we called real home, I quicken my pace.
Knock.
I knocked on the old varnished door, its crack gap and broken edges vibrated. I knocked again because I know a single noise won't be heard now that the rain is getting stronger.
"Who's there?" That voice which I missed so much even though I am gone three days away made its way opposite me.
"Grandma!!" I shouted.
The door infront of me opened slowly. She is like this everytime a stranger knocks on the door of our house. "David?! What are you doing in here?"
I didn't respond, instead, I quickly attacked her with a tight embrace. When I do so, my wet t-shirt squelch against her.
"David! What are you doing here and why are you so wet? Did you take a bath at the rain?" She scolded me once I released. Oh boy, I scratched my back neck.
It's worth me explaining.
*****
"Is that the reason why you ran away from him? From the Wilson league?" She asked.
I let out an exasperated sigh. Before we talk about me going home so soon, I changed into my usual un-rich clothes where I there are tiny holes because of how old it is. The cottage seemed got a little lighter and cleaner when I'm gone.
"Y-yeah." I answered quietly.
She shook her head. "But you still didn't completed the one month agreement and yet you're here, running away from them. From the debt."
"I know, I know... I-it's just I'm scared of loosing their known name all because I am married to a billionaire son." I explained deeply.
"But won't they send police here?" Grandma starts to rock her chair back and forth. "What if they hire and look for you. We'll both get arrested from the unpaid debt."
I winced at the thought of getting arrested. Sometimes when I am still on the Wilson's house, I wonder why would even pa' and ma' borrowed something so big. When I asked it, grandma said it's because of my school scholarship and others. I'm pretty sure it wont cost grand dollars.
I still need to find out about that.
"Don't worry grandma, tomorrow I'll look for a job and try to save. So in case that Smith or his parents found me, I will pay them month by month until I get to complete the grand dollars." I know it sounds so stupid. I mean, what person is going to complete a grand dollars by just working alone? That could take a years or so.
"Where to? I heard that job opening are hard to find these days until summer break."
"Probably I'll try asking Cameron tomorrow about it. I'm sure he'll help me." I smiled and hugged her again. "I'm just going to stay away for a while from Wilson family."
Grandma hugged me back too, but my mind is still on, processing something;
I wonder how long it would take.
