Runaways

Chapter 5

As we arrived at the hospital William was pinned to the wall and was handcuffed. They tried to do it to me to, but the doctors didn't let them. I was terrified. Will couldn't be arrested he did nothing wrong. I was filled with the sickening thought of prison it was horrible. I almost cried. They sat me down in a hospital bed and once again, I was back in the place I wanted to be the least. About a couple hours the police came in with William he looked like he was beaten to dead. His blondie white locks cut into pieces.

His black eyes all puffy and scratches on his face. We were discharged later in the night we tor off the license plate on Liams car and drove back to the ruins. We got there at like 5 am it was a long drive from town. When we got back Clairis was waiting. She was pacing around, and I saw it before we pulled in. As soon as we did, she caried me from the car to the camper and slept on the steps outside. She was pissed.

The next day she called me stupid ignorant and more mean things. After the words useless I tuned out her yelling. I walked over to a lake I saw nearby. I sat down and took off my checkered boots. I put my feet in the water, leaned against the grass and looked up at the clouds. I lost track of time and fell asleep cause I was so bord. The only adult here are Liam and Clairis, which I think are dating.

They said they only see each other as siblings but I think the opposite. Miles and Ricky are also close, like really close. I wouldn't be surprised if they got together as well. But I'm just lonely no friends and my brother doesn't like hanging out with me. Even though I'm smart he'd rather play basketball with bullies. No one shares interest in anything I do around here. I'm sick and tired of feeling alone!

I walked away in anger, and I sat beneath a tree. I was stunned by the sound of my friends calling out my name to see if I was ok. You would think after the thoughts I just had that I would be angry, but I walked towards them, and I hugged Theo tightly as soon as I could reach him. I don't think he noticed but I had started crying.

 His warm embrace made me feel loved and safe. I finally let go of him and looked him in the face. I could see shear anger and fear in his expression. He was scared to lose me but mad I walked off. He had his fist clenched ready to punch me in the face but instead he dragged me back to the ruins. No one yelled at me when we got back, we all just sat at the fire and told stories till all of us got too scared to continue.
