It Will Never be The Same

Hitchhiking

Amelia kept walking then she came along a road, roads lead to civilisation she thinks. So she picks a direction and starts to walk along the road. It was quiet there was no cars out the afternoon sun walking her back. She was thirsty but had one drink bottle, hungry but only had five cans,  tired but was a fugitive. The closer she got to civilisation the sooner she could become Rose,  she couldn't stop now. Amelia spots a red car in the distance so she hops off the road as the car comes closer and closer until it stops. A tall woman in her twenties steps out, Amelia wanted to run away and hide but Rose wanted to stay. "Where you heading", she says her voice sweet as honey.  

Amelia thinks for a second what cities are close to mine, "Christchurch, I live in Christchurch just walking home", Amelia stammered.

"Christchurch is that way", the woman points in the opposite direction.

"My bad", Amelia says and stars walking that way feeling embarrassed for walking in the wrong direction for an hour.

"You know it's like a two hour drive from here".

"Yes, better start walking".

"You wanna ride?, heading there anyway"

Amelia said no stranger danger, but Rose said yes it will be faster and she looks nice enough and she wanted to be more like Rose so she said yes. Amelia stepped in the car. "What's your name?", she says.

"A-Rose", Amelia said wanting to punch herself for almost saying Amelia.

"Arose is pretty name mine's Cleo".

"Cool"

"I like your haircut".

"Thanks".

Then the radio cuts in "Teenage girl responsible for 29 murders including her own parents is figured to be near the Akaroa region any sitings of her must be reported". Shit it's on the radio now thought Amelia and Sophia killed their parents why?. "Her sister is now an orphan who is undergoing a lot of grief, she is with us currently, Sophia would you like to say anything". I heard sniffling for a bit then she spoke. "I can't believe Amelia would do such a thing she is so crazy in fact she broke a kid in our classes nose for no reason last week, but it does seem like her personality, she has always hated people and used to abuse me then blackmail me into lying about all my scars and bruises. Amelia if you are hearing this right now please come home so people can arrest you and make the world safer, I am so worried and don't know who will be next". Then the radio comes back on "Make donations to help Sophia at blah blah blah no one gives a fuck dot com".

Amelia was in shock she knew Sophia was crazy but not this crazy. Then she noticed that Cleo was looking at her suspiciously they where no where near Akaroa but she was a strange teenager she would probably take her to a police station. Amelia could sense that Cleo was uncomfortable . "I get car sick, can you please pull over I can walk the rest of the way", Amelia sighed.

 Cleo seemed more than happy for her to go, but who wouldn't be to let a possible serial killer out of their car. Amelia pretended to vomit in a bush before Cleo drove off. 

Amelia set up camp, tiring part of the tarpaulin to a tree and eating a can of baked beans. She had a sip of water to clench her thirst before laying down on the damp forest floor.
