As soon as Charlotte heard everywhere was quiet, she eased her step down the bed, and carried her legs as quiet as she could to the wardrobe in her room.

She stood still, her eyes scanning here and there like a thief, praying not to hear a sound or voices. When she heard nothing, she stretched her hands out, and opened up the wardrobe.

Charlotte rummages the few clothes she had Inside, and pulled out a baggy pants and hoodie. She quickly changed into the outfit and turned towards the door.

She had plans to run away when she returned from the bar, after hearing the manager's conversation over the phone a few days back. They planned to fly her out of the country tomorrow, and instead of waiting, she decided to run away tonight.

Lorenzo has been planning to fly her out of California to work for him elsewhere, and she couldn't stay one more night before she ran away.

She asked for a favor from a female bartender at the regulars to get sleeping pills for her to use for sleepless night.

"We're almost done, Aunt Alley." Lailah responded. And a few minutes after she responded, they marched out dressed in marching outfits. Alley retracted her gaze to their direction, immediately she came into view with them, her lips parted. "What are you putting on? Are you not heading to school?"

Scott asked."The both of them have been working together, she recently drugged Nate, and took him to the hotel, and everything was Sofia's request." Xavier responded."Bryan told me he was admitted, she must have over drugged him." He sighs. "But don't you think this is karma?" Alex asked, and entangled his hands."He did the same to you five years back to tarnish your image.

Besides, you were out of California, you went after your dreams and abandoned everything behind, how would you know?" Alex rubbed it
