Tim Shepard's sister

Chapter 4

Johns POV
Jess and I walked outside.
"What's going on" she asked
"Marley's mom is just-"
"No John, what's going on with you and mom? I mean your all beat up"
"Dads gotten worse, I don't know what to do because dad makes the money."
"Oh gosh John why didn't you tell me?"
"I-I don't know Jess", I started to tear up a bit.
"I have a friend that lives in Tulsa. OK. She can take you guys in until you get on your feet. Away from Dad"
"Oh my, really Jess"
"Yes John, you guys will be safe"
I gave her a huge hug. She wrote a number on my hand "Call her at 7"
"Ok thank you so much"
"No problem", she smiled, "Alright I gotta run see ya kid."
"See ya"
I walked back into Marleys house totally ecstatic.
"Marley, Bret, I'm goin to Tulsa. Well I think"
"Why" Bret asked
"My sister told me to call her friend and she would help me get settled away from my dad.. Marley can come if she wants." I said hopeful.
"Wow John that's great. Soooo Bret, can I have my keys?"
"Yea I guess so"

Two weeks later
"I'm gunna miss you so much, Marley"
"I'm gunna miss you too Bret"
"Call me all the time okay", Bret looked like he was going to cry.
"Yes of course", Marley smiled, with tears in her eyes.
"Alright be safe kiddo"
"I will, see ya"
"See ya" "Bye, Bret, see you soon", I yelled over my shoulder. He waved goodbye to me.

Marley's POV
I got in my car. And John and I decided to meet at an abandoned parking lot. I drove over there and I was waiting for him when I felt my hair get tugged back........
