Chapter 46 - New Life

1130 AM

It's been around two hours and forty minutes. The plane attendant said they were almost there. Noah Oliver is sleeping on Ava's lap, and Ava is on her phone. She's looking at the news because of her boredom, and she sees this article:

16-YEAR-OLD AVA REID-HANSEL HAS GONE MISSING.

16-year-old Ava Reid-Hansel has gone missing. She has clear healthy white skin with a Chinese-American ethnicity, although she doesn't look that much Chinese. We do not have a photo to provide, but we know she has unmistakable long jet-black hair. We don't know her eye color or what she's wearing but keep an eye out for someone on the run. Her parents are Eric Reid-Hansel and Ariel Hansel. She has a 20-year-old brother Blake Hansel. Her father says she is DANGEROUS and killed foreigner Katie [insert last name here]. No one has confirmed this, so this has been proven untrue until evidence is provided.

Ava starts hyperventilating. A few waiters come by, but she sends them away. How could her dad say something like that? She wanted to jump off this plane right now, but she couldn't. She had to get her life together, get a job. Maybe even change her last name! She wasn't going to let her father take her life. She was going to make a new life for herself.

12 PM

Ava is finally leaving the plane. She was able to calm herself down by saying anyone could have white skin and jet black hair, but who was she kidding? She's only ever seen herself with clear skin, everyone else has pimples from their layers of makeup. She takes a deep breath and carries her luggage and Noah Oliver to their car. The officer gave them the level their car was on and the letter. "Level 3, Letter B..... Level 3, Letter B... Here." Ava approaches her dads brand new Mercedes and puts her luggage in the trunk. She opens the door and sees everything is present. Noah Olivers carseat and his crib parts. She places him down and opens her own door. After everyone is settled (Noah Oliver with Jake And The Neverland Pirates on Ava's iPad), Ava starts the engine. She slowly drives back when she sees a blob on the rearview mirror. She keeps backing up when she hears a thud. She wipes off the blob and sees a guy laying down in the middle of the road. 'Weird place to lay down on. Is he homeless? Wait.. OH MY GOD!' Ava bolts out of the car and slowly approaches the body.

She mutters, "I killed him... Oh my god, I killed him. I really am a murderer." Ava kneels down by his body, observing for bruises. "He seems fine... Maybe he just blacked out. Do I do CPR?" The guy muffles, "CPR? I'm not drowning." "Well I know but- AH YOU TALKED!" The guy's body slowly lifts, and Ava is face to face with him. "Well I'm not dead, I must've went in shock. It's not every day a pretty girl drives into you." Ava moves her hair behind her ear and helps him up. "What's your name? I'm Ava." "Marco. Nice name." "Thanks.. Uhm I'm not sure older guys are supposed to hit on sixteen year olds." "Sixteen? I'm eighteen." "Ew, that's like dating my older brother." Marco chuckles a little and says, "Ava your not from here are you?" "Nope, just got here from plane." "That's nice. What's a sixteen year old like you driving for?" "I'm running from my family. Mostly my dad. He's trying to kill me, and blamed me for a death." Ava covers her mouth. In five short minutes- five- she exposed herself to some guy off the street. He could turn her in- OR WORSE- take her back to her dad.
