Unforgiven

Her....

Tyler

I can't, I just can't. I've been running away from my problems ever since it happened. It you may ask was when the government stormed into my house, I was only 12 at the time, my dad put me in a secret room under the floor boards to hide. My sister who was 17 stayed with him and my mom. I hide in the dark careful not to say or move but then I heard three gunshots. That's all I Can remember. My Names Tyler and I'm 16, running from the government.

I halt to a stop, I am in the middle of a forest now, miles from home, miles from the road, miles from people. I was put in foster care by my neighbors, I ran out of that place 5 days ago, slipping out a window in my room. The police have tried to catch me but they can't. If they catch me they will have me cut into pieces and use me for Government experiments.

I reach a city, I have no clue where but its defiantly there and real. I head into the city and find a clothes shop, time to get new clothes. I grab a plain shirt some jeans and a pull over sweatshirt. Maybe a new pair of shoes will help. I quickly buy the things and head into a street ally to change. I don't want to be seen, but that's when I see her, her hair long brown and a very pretty pulled up in a messy bun, her eyes are a very vibrant blue, almost the color of water. Her clothes are all black even her shoes.

What do I do, should I pretend not to see her or say hi, but it to late by then she sees me and does an instant analysis, her eyes trail off and she almost starts to blush. I forgot I already took my shirt off.

" Hi, my names April... Whats yours?"

I reply back " My names Tyler, nice to meet you April."

I almost forgot I still have my shirt off. I turn around put my new shirt back on and pull the sweatshirt over it. By the time I turn back around shes at my side. This might just work out.

"Where are you from?" I ask

She reply's " I am a foster child, I ran away from that place three weeks ago. They always hated me"

" That's the same for me" I say

" Do you want to come with me, I don't know exactly where but somewhere far from this place."

I could easily say no but I think I just feel in love with her, I guess its worth a try. Worst thing that can happen is that I leave her in the middle of the night or she leaves me in the middle of the night.

Without thinking much about it I say " sure why not, whats the worst thing that could happen."

"Great which way should we head? How about just walking and seeing where we come out to."

" Sounds good, it's almost getting dark why don't we find somewhere to go and get some rest for the night, maybe a back ally or a hotel , but that might be risky."

" lets just find an ally and get some rest"

I find myself starting to fall asleep but I stay up, watching her, she starts to shiver I get up from where I was sitting and sit next to her taking off my oversized sweatshirt and place it on her. She starts to blush and we exchange a quick smile. She leans her head on my shoulder and then next thing I know is I am kissing her lips, they are so soft and delicate. I want to force harder but I slowly ease away from her. My face is probably about the color of a ripe apple or a steamed lobster.

She folds the sweatshirt without a word to almost make a pillow and lays down, her checks still bright red from blushing.I lean over kiss her on the checks and say "I love you"

Maybe it was to early to say that but to my surprise she says it back. I need to know more about her, I will find out more in the morning.
