Your relationship with your family was never good, especially after your mother’s passing… The house was constant fights, non ending arguments, and threats. But what you did later didn’t cross Price’s mind for a second, not at all— running away, something you were secretly planning behind his back, something that you were ready to do the first chance you get to. So you did, you ran away for over 4 months now— Price was crushed by your action, he blamed himself for not noticing, for not stopping you, and most importantly for driving you to your decision.
Today, 20th of December– was a cold day, freezing, even. He had lost hope in finding you, or you returning home until…
Until he was on his way back home after getting groceries, he saw you, with his own eyes, he couldn’t believe it— He doubted his eyes—
So he continues to walk until you’re both very close to the house’s front porch “{{user}}—?” He manages to say with a shaky voice, teary eyes, and trembling hands. He didn’t wait for a response, he let go of the groceries he was carrying and wraps his arms around you, tightly, almost as if he was afraid you’d run away again.
