The Truth

04:00 AM
I heard screams,
"Ahh, what is this mess ..." I went down the stairs in silence and eavesdropped
"YOU MUST KEEP AN EYE"
"I'M NOT A GUARDIAN OKAY, LIFE IS HER, ESMERALDA DOES WHAT SHE WANTS"
I flinched when I heard my name, listened again
"THAT PROFESSOR JUST WANTS TO TAKE HER TO BED, HE'S A BASTARD"
Oh no, they're talking about Nick
I thought, I heard glass break and my mother scream
"YOU'RE FUCKING DRUNK, GO BACK TO BED AND LEAVE ME IN PEACE"
I panicked, I didn't know what to do anymore, I took a backpack, stuffed into it a pajamas and a change, water, cell phone and charger, drugs, a small blanket, the backpack with all the school books and ran away, ran away from home.

Nicholas's point of view

I poured the hot water into the cup and put a hot tea bag in it, sipped the tea, turned on the TV, sat on the sofa and ...
"PROFESSOR, PROFESSOR OPEN THE PLEASE TO ME"
I heard Esmeralda's voice outside the door and I suddenly got up to open them, I saw her in tears at the door, in her pajamas with unkempt hair, I didn't know what to do, I hugged her, I made her sit down I gave her some water and I asked her  "What happened baby?"
"B-my father drank as usual and forbade me to go out, we won't be able to see each other again ... so I ran away ..."
She started to cry, I held her tight to me
"It won't happen baby, it never will."  I reassured her
"He says you just wanna use me, he says you're a bastard, oh Nick I just want to run away I'm scared."  she said between sobs
I hugged her, kissed her
"Do not worry."  I made her lie down and cuddle her until she fell asleep, lay down next to her, she was so beautiful ...

Esmeralda's point of view
06:00
I woke up, saw Nick already awake
"Nick .."
"Hey, good morning baby"
He gave me a kiss on the forehead, I got up, took a shower, changed and decided to leave so that no suspicions were born between me and Nick,
"I love you, sorry again for the disturb-"
He kissed me, I couldn't even finish the sentence, I said goodbye and headed to the station, if I drove to school with Nick they would have suspected ...
I went down to the village
I decided it would be the day I would finally swap my old cell phone for an iPhone using the money Dad left me on the cabinet a few days ago,
* there are still fifty minutes left, I want to pick up my mobile *
I went to a tech shop, entered "Hello"
I looked around if there was any cell phone that attracted my attention, not knowing what to do, ask the saleswoman for help, she showed me three, a small 350 lek iPhone, a 199 P8 and a 200 P9 lite, I took the P9
It took me a lifetime to re-memorize all the numbers and re-install the applications.

"06:45"
I got off at the station.
While I was waiting for the bus I heard some people passing by and whispering looking at me, I thought they probably weren't talking about me, so I didn't mind that, I sat on the bench while trying to recreate everything I needed on the new mobile.

I got on the bus and ..
"Esmeralda !!"
I turned and saw ...
"Beatrix, what's going on?"
I dropped the bus, got off and sat on the bus stop to talk to Bea.

He didn't say anything for about thirty minutes when then ..
"What's between you and Nick"
I bleached.
