John and I had still been hiding in the tree house in the woods of the park. We’ve been surviving pretty well. Every couple days we would walk to John’s uncle’s house and we’d shower and get cleaned up. His uncle swore to keep the sightings of us a secret, we didn’t know where we were staying, all he knew was that we were okay, and smelly from the wilderness. His uncle also helped us get masks to cover our identity when we needed to shop. Also, he let us watch the news from his house. It helped to see what my family was up too. Apparently the police are still looking for me because my parents are convinced I’m still alive, which I am. I feel bad, my parents are devastated, my siblings are too. I wish I could contact my best friend, but she’d tell my parents. I felt okay, nothing got too bad yet. Maybe things would all be okay.

Yesterday John and I visited my old neighborhood. It was sad. The police finally announced me dead. All along the front of my house were memorials honoring me. I saw mom and dad, but I was in disguise so of course, they couldn’t recognize me. I laid flowers in front of my house so I didn’t look suspicious. But, I feel weird around my neighborhood and queasy. It felt wrong. Coming back made me cry, sob and feel confused. Why was I doing this? I’m going to ruin the relationship with my family and I don’t think they’ll forgive me… ever. I walked back home with my head buried in John’s chest crying. He was too nice to do this for me; and gosh, I owe him.

Sorry for such a short chapter... I'm having a bit of writers block and I'm trying to figure out where to go with the story. Sorry ):
