Run

Chapter 3

Grace cried a lot in the bathroom, Luke attempted to speak to her through the door but he didn't get any luck.

"Grace, please talk to me, I'm in this situation too," Luke called through the door, The door opened slowly, and Grace gave Luke a weak smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a very strong person," Grace sniffed.

Luke shrugged, "I'm not either, come on, we should get you home."

Grace nodded. They both said goodbye to Liz as they left through the front door, Grace enjoyed Luke's car the second time around.

"What in the world!" Luke screamed as he slammed his brakes on.

Luke and Grace got out the car to see someone with a knife in their back, it was a young boy, he didn't look much older than twenty. He was barely breathing, but he was still alive.

"Do we take the knife out?" Grace asked trying to cover another place of impact the knife hit.

"I don't know let me ring for help!" Luke panicked, trying to get both the police and ambulance to come.

Grace and Luke tried to stop the blood from leaving his body, Grace grabbed the knife, but Luke told her to leave it in, for safety. Luke saw a syringe type thing in the man's back, almost identical to the one in Ashton.

"Grace something feels-" Luke wasn't able to finish his sentence.

"Grace Abernathy and Luke Hemmings, Freeze, you are not obliged to say or do anything unless you wish to do so, but whatever you say or do may be used in evidence. Do you understand?" A police officer said holding a gun in their direction.

"Luke," Grace whispered as she slowly got up, "They think we hurt Ashton, they think we were the ones to hurt this guy,"

"Grace, I think this is what Ashton meant," Luke whispered as he got closer to Grace grabbing her hand.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, we are going to run, we are going to run to my car and I am going to drive away."

"Okay."

The Police officer looked at the two as the ambulance came, one of the officers got into the ambulance too, to grab the evidence out of the young man's back.

"I hope you guys realise the drug you have been inserting into all those people is deadly, just ten minutes ago I receive a call from a little girl who died, with a syringe present in her back and your friend Ashton Irwin, he's gone too," Another police officer yelled at them.

"Now Grace, run to the fucking car with me," Luke whispered holding back his tears.

Then they ran to Luke's car, with the police quickly hopping into theirs, Luke began to drive, as they were being chased. He rang his mum on the blue tooth in the car.

"Mum, I won't be making it back home tonight; to be honest I don't know when I'll be coming home," Luke cried.

"Luke what's going on?" Liz asked.

"Ashton's dead, a little girl is dead, a guy is probably now going to die all because they think it's us, they think Grace and I are killers mum, they think we put the syringes in their backs."

"Is Ashton, really gone?"

"That's what they said before we drove off, mum we are getting chased and I'm so sorry, but believe me when I say we are innocent."

"I will, and sweetie try to think Ashton is still alive to make everything seem easier, I love you, I have to go someone's at the door."

"I love you mum," Luke choked out before the phone ended.
