I ran until I was a few blocks away and couldn't hear Caleb yelling anymore. I looked around my surroundings, wonderful, just wonderful. I'm lost. I never got to see around town, right after school finished the whole family went straight to Washington state-- until the accident, me and my brother got sent back here. And well I'm still not in the mood to look around town, but i really don't have a choice since I confessed to two people I met today about my parents. I don't even own a cell phone so that makes this situation even better. Determined to find a place where I can reach Carol, I continued walking around the streets.
2 hours later - 11 pm
It started getting really dark and I still was passing by houses- no gas station or restaurants in sight. This must be a really small town or a really big community. I felt a car behind me but I didn't bother looking back nobody knew me here anyways. I heard the car honk and next thing I knew the car swerved and stopped right in front of me, I jumped up screaming. A shadow came out of the vehicle and stood there, it was literally so dark you wouldn't be able to see your own hand. "Valerie what the hell! You had me worried about you, I went looking all over town thinking you could've been hurt. Then I find you here walking alone in the dark! Why'd you leave the house anyways?" I recognized the voice, Carol.
"Are you going to tell me what happened at Caleb's house and why you ran away?" She sat across from me in my kitchen table. Turns out the town wasn't small, well the one I walked to was. Yeah, that's right. Me, the idiot, kept walking straight and didn't pay attention to the signs and ended up in the next town. I shook my head slowly, I've never seen Carol angry and testing her anger wouldn't be smart whatsoever. She put her hands on her face and shook her head, suddenly Carol started shaking. She's crying, because of me. I ran to her side and started comforting her-- In the most awkward way. I don't know what came over me but I began to cry. After 5 minutes of sobbing we stopped, "just try not to walk into a different town without me knowing okay val?" I just nodded and hugged her. "I'm sorry Carol" was all I managed to say to her.
It felt weird. Having someone who wasn't related to me cry because of me. It gave me a fuzzy feeling, but in a good comfy way. I just hope it won't go away any time soon. I managed to get Carol to calm down and to leave to her house, where her husband had been waiting. I didn't tell Carol what had happened at Caleb's but she said she understood and would wait whenever I was ready to tell her. Caleb. He wouldn't leave my mind.
How am I going to face him tomorrow? Will he tell everyone my secret? Am I going to be called freak again? Thousands of questions passed through my head and it physically started hurting. How could so many things happen on the first day of school? If this is how it's going to be every day I go out to attempt to socialize than I'd rather stay at home. My eyes started feeling really heavy and before I fell asleep I checked the time 2:34 am. The time mom and dad died
If only I could join them.
A/N - I know this is short. Anyways Caleb is played by Ansel Elgort, I still don't know who's going to play Valerie I'm still searching. Oh & if you or someone you know can make covers, could you please consider making me one for the book, PLEASE! Btw feedback would be nice (:
