Runaways

Chapter 11

I wake Up and its 1 p.m. I needed that sleep. "Mom what's for breakfast" I scream then I remember she died.

I go and put my hair in a ponytail and I change my clothes. I walk out the door and decide I want to walk around today.

I start walking to the park and a truck pulls up beside me. They roll down the window and it's Justin.

"Get in" he says

"Okay " I say

Why did I say that God I'm falling for him hard. I get it and he hands me some gummy worms. A laugh escapes from me. "Gummy worms" I say laughing.

"I like them" he says

"Why do you want me"? I say

"Let's go on a trip" he says

"A trip"? I say

"Yes, let's get away from these people, let's get away from this place for awhile."he says

"Okay, let's do it" I say.

He drives off and I roll down the window and let the wind hit face.

We've been driving for 2 hours now and where in the middle of nowhere. Justin looks over at me. "can I ask you something"? He says

"Yup, what is it" I say

"What happend to your dad" he ask

I take a deep breath and look out the window. "I was at the arena one day and this man walked in. He had a gun and he wanted some money. Me being the stupid one tried to go up behind him and save the day. But I grabbed the gun and I pointed at him but then somebody hit me from behind right before I was going to shoot. The bullet went the other way and it hit my dad. I called the ambulance but they didn't get there in time. He died, he died because I was stupid and I wanted to save the day. Instead I shot my dad and killed him."

Justin reaches over and grabs my hand. "it's not your fault" he says. "Yes it was, if I wasn't stupid enough to go and grab the gun he would still be alive" I say.

" you shouldn't have been the one doing that" Justin says.

"Yeah, I guess" I whisper

He turns the truck around and starts back for my house. His hand is still on mine, I feel like home with him everything feels right.

I look over and smile at him, he looks over at me and gives me a smile. I really do like him, I never hated him. He's my home now, he's all I got.
