The Great Escape

As I jumped up on the window seal, I scrap my arm on a piece of glass. I screamed out in pain but I know I had to keep going. The man made in my room and was yelling at the others to come after me. I didn't know how high I was up until I went to jump. I slipped and fell down to the ground. I hit hard and my knee was bleeding really bad. I had to keep moving and get out of here though. So with all my strength I had left. I got up and tried to take off but I couldn't walk on my right leg cause of my knee. So I was limping/running. I was taking in my surroundings and I noticed there was no one around. We are in the middle of the woods. I tried screaming for help but I don't think no one can hear me. I knew I was running out of time as I heard them all screaming for me to get back here. As I took off toward the fence, I see that there is a gap in the fence. I go through the fence and straight for the woods. As I was running I was trying to come up with a plan, when a sudden impact came from my right shoulder knocking me down. whoever it was made us roll in to a ditch and hit bushes. The boy was groaning in pain as I was trying to keep myself from screaming out in pain.

As the pain goes down a little bit, I look over and see the boy who tackled me crouch down and hovered over me a little. I raise up a little to kind of sit up and get a good look of the boy. I nudge the boys arm with my elbow and when he turned his face, I knew who it was. Lance is so close to me there is only an inch away from us. If either of us move forward we would be kissing.

We sat there for hours staring at each other (or so I thought because that's how long it felt like). I went to back away and run away from him cause he is a part of them but he grabbed my arm and put a finger to his lips telling me to be quiet. As I here people running by calling my name, I realize that he was trying to help me. Why would he want to help me? He was apart of them. There was no way I was going to trust him. Right?

"Ok I think they are gone". Lance said while get in up and holding his hand out for me to take.

"Why are you helping me if you are one of them?" I say scooting back slowly unaware of what he was up to.

"Not anymore I realized what we were doing was wrong and when you got away I wanted to help you. You know...........help you find your way back to your home. It's to make up for what we did to you." He said with care and sorrow in his eyes.

I slowly took his hand and he helped me up. We started walking and getting to know each other a little bit. All I know is we have a long journey a head of us. Maybe I can trust him after all because he is really sweet and he is trying to help me go back home.

3 HOURS LATER

"What time is it?" I ask.

We have been walking for a while now and half way through my knee started to hurt agian and I gave out on limping cause that takes a lot of energy and I literally didn't have anymore from what's been happening lately. So he decided to be a gentleman and carry me on his back.

"It's 8:00 in the morning." He said with a laugh. He has the perfect smile ever.

"Why thank you. you have a perfect smile too." He said with a toothy grin plastered on his face.

OH MY GOD! I said that out loud. Why? What is wrong with me. Ughhhhhhh.

"That wasn't supposed be said out loud." I said embarrassed now.

"Oh it's fine. But anyway, if you're tired, you can go to sleep." He said sweetly.

"Are you sure. I don't want you to be lonely." I said making sure.

"Yea go ahead. I will be fine." He said reassuring me.

After that I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
