More details to this question:
About a month ago, I encountered a situation with my stepdad and I ran away. I came back home the next day and my mom said that it's best for me if I stay with my grandma. About a week ago, she says she wants me home and I am not comfortable enough to go back. She said that if I refused to come home, she will call the cops. Thank you for your help.

If you are under the age of 18, and have not been emancipated by the courts, then you must go home or you will be deemed either a run away or delinquent. Depending on what happened with your step father, you may need to report to Child Protective Services, the police, a counselor, or some other trusted adult(s). If the situation with him that his making you uncomfortable involves illegal activity in any form or manner, there are resources available to help you stay in a safe place.
