The Run

Part 4

As we walked, no one said a word for hours.
i looked at him, and i said "Do you want to stay at this motel?"
He looked at the sky, smiled and said "I think we can reach the next town by dark."
I dont know where we were going, but he looked serious about getting there.

we walked another few hours when we reached the worst smelling town in ALL OF ARKANSAS.
Josh looked around...
and then we went around the entire city when we reached the rich side.

I recognized the last name plastered on the mailbox, at the house we were at. "West"
I turned around and looked at him
"As in Ashton West? the one that was responsible for..."
he cut me off "yes, thats him. he got 3 months of community service for texting on his phone and KILLING MY GIRLFRIEND. and he is going to pay."
i nodded. "Alright?"
he nodded as well "okay."
No one was home, and his car was there, like the universe wanted us to take his 2009 Chevy Malibu.

we broke into his house. Finding spare keys was a lot harder then we thought.
"Check all the drawers!" he yelled from the next room.
i got to the second drawer when, there they were. Begging me to take them.

So thats what i did.
"FOUND THEM! i yelled then tossed them to josh.
we unlocked the car, got in, and drove off.

I breathed, taking advantage of every breath i took.

He looked at me, "Bethanni? you kay?"
I smiled, "just hard to comprehend i just did that y'know?"
he laughed "You'll get used to it."
i wonder what all josh has done, trying to cope with his loss, he was really close to her. Closer then i have ever been with anybody...
