If you're in the US... No, it's not legal. A 15-year-old doesn't get to decide where she lives. Her parents decide that. And just FYI--anyone who takes in a 15-year-old runaway can face charges for it.

If your parents are still legally responsible for you (which they most likely are unless you've been emancipated), then they may call the police, and the police will escort you home. Unless you plan on going through a legal proceeding to fight your parent's legal custody, you need to wait until you're eighteen to move out.
