“I‘m not leaving.” I cling to Axl, pressing my head
against his chest.
“You have to.” He kisses my head. “If you don’t, you’ll
end up in foster care.”
“Not if I hide.” I look up at him. “I’ll stay with Jacob. I’ll
hide out there until I’m 18.”

“My brother’s place is barely big enough for him. And
what about school? You’re not dropping out.”
“It’d only be for a year. I could go back.” I tighten my
arms around him. “I’ll do anything to keep us together.”
“Rumor.” Axl gently pulls away and cups my face, his
eyes on mine. “I love you. That’s not gonna change, no matter
how far apart we are.”
“You say that now but what about a month from now?
What if you get tired of never seeing me and find someone
else?”
“Who could I find better than you?” He gives me that halfsmile of his that made me fall for him on our first date. He
never does a full smile. Just a partial one with a slight upturn
of his lips. It’s sexy, mysterious, and totally Axl.
“Maybe I should be worrying about YOU,” he says, still
with that half smile. “Maybe you’ll fall for one of those
California surfer guys and ditch me.”
“You know I’d never do that. Don’t even joke about it.”
He chuckles. “I can’t even imagine you with one of those
guys with their blond hair and tan leathery skin.”
“I can’t imagine myself with ANY of those people. I’m a
New Yorker. I don’t belong in California. I belong here.”
“But you can’t stay here.” He runs his hand along my
cheek, his smile now gone. “You can do this, Rumor. It’s only
for a year.”
“A year is too long.” I look down, biting my lip and trying
not to cry. “I hate this. I hate this so much. This was never
supposed to happen.”
He lifts my chin up and our eyes meet. “But it did, and
now you just need to get through it.”
I search his face, trying to memorize each detail so I don’t
forget. His messy dark hair that’s always falling in his eyes.
His thick black eyebrows. His silver nose ring. The piercing
on his lip. He doesn’t have tattoos but he’s saving up for one.
He’s getting a snake tat along the side of his neck. He already
drew out the design.
I was supposed to go with him when he got it but now I
can’t. That—and all our other plans—were destroyed the day
my mom died. The day I found out I’d be going to live with
my uncle.
In the past two weeks, my entire life has changed.
“Hey, fucker, watch where you’re going!” Axl yells.
Looking over I see a man in a suit glance back at Axl. He
shakes his head and continues walking.
“Fucker about knocked me over,” Axl says, running his
hand through his hair. “Rich fuckin’ bastard.”
