My Way On The Highway (Incomplete, Stopped)

Chapter 15

Note: Re read the last chapter. I proofread the whole book, but I added some stuff in the last one. I forgot, too, then because I changed it too much.. Haha. Oh, and I don't know how any of you put up with me in the earlier chapters. I was very evil. Hahaha. I seriously wanted to kill myself as I read my story to refresh my mind. I hated myself so much. xD But anyway after rereading the last chapter, you can go on now. :3 :D ❤❤ Happy reading! Vommenting is very much welcome. ❤❤

Chapter 15

"--was in a car accident," she said.

"What? When? How? Why didn't you call?" I said, following Mom to the sofa. Chance was beside me, and by his reaction, he already knew.

"One at a time, dear. It was two days ago. She and two of her friends were in her car, she was driving. Her brakes failed, and crashed into a ditch. It wasn't deep, so it wasn't that bad. But she sustained minor injuries that won't have long term effects. She's checking out of the hospital tomorrow. And we didn't want to tell you so you wouldn't keep worrying until we found out whether or not there was foul play involved," she said, and sighed.

I chewed on on the inside of my mouth, and cocked my head to the side. "Foul play? You mean someone cut her brakes?" I said, scrunching my brows together. No, why would anyone do that to Jase?

"They were cut, yes. We don't know why, or who, but we have people working on it. We will find out, but we all think you should be safe. And people found out where you went, so we couldn't make sure of your safety, dear. We're still deciding on what to do, but we are going to be very careful now. We won't let anything else happen. And your father is meeting us up at the hospital later," Mom was saying, and I held up a hand.

"Do I have any say in this, or did you just talk to Chance and hoped I'd go with it?" I said, and I felt Chance's hand on my shoulder.

"Nie," he said, and I shrugged his hand off and stood up.

"Yes, Mom, I know why. I know it's for the best. I know your intentions were good, all of you. But couldn't you have trusted me or respected me enough to let me in, too. I know all you want is for me to be safe and to protect me from whatever. But the reality is, there's someone out there messing up my life. And it might be the same person who put Jase in the hospital. People are in danger because of me, and I don't even know why. And it sucks. It's annoying. I hate feeling this way, but it's just another thing I have no control over. And I'm not a kid anymore. So, please, can you include me in planning my life next time? Because I don't think I have control over anything anymore. I love you all, I do. And I could never be mad, and I understand all of you. It's just that I wish you'd understand me, too, sometimes," I said and turned for the door,"Excuse me, I want to be alone for a while."

They didn't say anything, and I headed out of the room to the garden outside. As I walked through, I reached the cleared out lawn near the edge and sat down, then spread myself on the grass. I looked up at the dark sky, watching the stars twinkle.The sky was mostly clear with the dim moon, and I put my hands behind my head. I just lied there, staring at the stars. Not really thinking, just feeling the wind pass me by.

I didn't know how much time passed when I heard Chance calling out for me, but I stayed put, enjoying the view. A few moments later, I heard his footsteps near where I was over the rustling leaves. When he was looming over me, I gestured for him to move. He was blocking my view. He sighed and placed himself beside me, keeping distance. He didn't say anything for a while, and surprisingly, I wasn't annoyed.

"You want to runaway?" he said. If I didn't know him, and he didn't know me, I would've taken him seriously.

"You want to kill this guy ruining your life?"
