Unanchored (H.S.)

Chapter 10

January 3rd, 2013

Away, Away, away.

I just saw myself on the news, the fucking news! What a joke, I've been laying here laughing my ass off for like 10 minutes. I think it's time for me to go home before they start going through my stuff to find me.

I packed my stuff up and got into the car heading straight back to Holmes Chapel. I think my aunt needs the peace of mind.

Took me about an hour to get to my aunt's and here we go. I parked the car looking around at all the cop cars around her house. Ha this is too fucking funny. I walk in to my aunt sitting with her wine in one hand and a cig lit up in the other.

Damn this is bad, she only smokes when things are rough. All the police officers are looking at me with shocked expressions and my aunt too. She finally came back to reality, ran over to me and hugged me super tight.

I know she was checking to see if I was actually here. "Lynn, what the actual fuck, where the bloody hell were you?" she said in a rushed tone. "I'm sorry Jen, I just needed a minute away, too much going on for me to handle." I reply. "You need a minute away you fucking tell me Lynn, don't just disappear, why weren't you picking up?!" she angrily said. "Um, about that, I kinda threw my phone into River Mersey on the way up to Liverpool" I said laughing, come on, that is pretty funny. She laughed a little bit with surprise before switching back to serious and continuing.

"For gods sake Lynn, I'm just happy you're alive and uninjured, thought you got fucking kidnapped." She said while pulling me into another hug. She let go of me and turned to the police, "Well she's back, thank you for your assistance, I would've gone crazy if you weren't here to help me out." She said before saying goodbye to them and showing them out of the house.

My aunt was very much like me when she was younger, I knew that if I spoke to her, she would understand. Oh god, I was on the news! Shit I need to call my parents.
