Where The Road Takes Me. Where Will It End?

Chapter 9

I would run away or fight back, but the person asked me to sit down. I seen this person before. It was Shannon's roommate Stef. I tryed asking her what she was doing but she just got up and pushed me out the door. We got in her car and drove around. She explained to me that Shannon's been looking for me. She doesn't have the police involved, just a couple of her friends. I asked how she find me in the dinner and she said Shannon described me and that she was there to eat.

"What will it take for a stranger to do anything they could to find you?"

As I thought back into the dinner, I realized she didn't pay ether. I asked her if she did and she said no. She seen that I was going to run and she liked my plan so she got the two guys to fight. Never thought that I was that easy to read. She stopped on the side of the road in a forest and told me to follow her. She led me to a broken bridge near a small lake. She told me to go to the middle and think. Think about what?

"Planning acquires thinking. Does every plan that doesn't work, like mine, mean that people haven't thought about it truly?"

I asked her what to think about and she just gave me a mad, but in a silly way kind of smile. So I went to the middle, dangled my feet of the side and just thought. It got late and I was starting to fall asleep. She came to the middle and asked what I was going to do. Should I stay or continue. It was my choice, she wasn't forcing me into anything. I told her not yet and she just layed down and started falling asleep. I guess here is were I'll spend the night. At least I ain't alone.

"I've improvised on choices before that got me far and changed my life. Why does staying somewhere make me think so much?"

I woke up to see Stef not here. I went to the side of the road and the car wasn't there ether. I guess she made up her mind too. She stopped caring and left me. Not even a sign that she cared. I guess I'll just keep moving, but which way. All the turns she took made me forget which way was north. She's smarter than she seems. I guess I'll just go back to the bridge and stay there. Maybe someone fishing can shoe me north if not I could find a place to live. I got back to the bridge and from there I seen a house. When I went to the house it looked abandoned, but clean. I guess a summer home. I'll stay here.

"What luck do you get from abandonment. Do you get rich? Do you get happiness? You only get loneliness."

Sleeping on the biggest bed in the house was great. There was a lot of food so I was never hungry. I tryed to keep it clean in case if the owner came home. I turned on the television and herd the front door open. I turned it of then ran upstairs. As I climbed out the window someone grabbed me and pulled me back in. It was Stef with Shannon right behind her. I asked how they find me and they said they own this house. They asked what was my choice. I think I finally made my choice.

"Home alone gets a person thinking, do they really want to be alone?"
