Let's Get Away.

Part Four.

I smile to myself once again. I haven't been this happy in years. I'm finally leaving that hellish place. I'm so glad it's with her as well. My best friend who knows everything about me. How my life was before I was sent here, how I feel about being there, how I feel about everything in my life. And I know everythi-...now that I think about it, she never tells me about her home life, with her parents and all.. I have no idea how her father or mother treat her, her friends, her school, anything. How am I so blind to her. I talk and talk and talk about myself but, I never hear anything about her..Ah, fuck, now I feel bad for never asking about anything..I'll have to ask soon...It can't be that bad, can it?

As we make our way through the large meadow, we run into absolutely nothing. Which disappoints me because I wanted to find at least something. But, oh well. We stop just about in the middle of it. She lays down. I just sit next to her. She moves so her head is in my lap. I slightly blush at this small movement. When she notices, she laughs a little and boops my nose which does not help with the blush. We just smile at each other for a few minutes. I lean down and kiss her forehead, which is something we always do to the other. It's nice since I never get that kind of stuff from anyone else. Oh well, I'm glad that I can do it with her. Suddenly, we hear some rustling behind us. Wist shoots up and looks behind me. I look as well but she was faster than I was. She starts to get up and I quickly follow and follow her towards the noise. I see a hat.. I stop her quickly and pull her the other way, running. I'm not sure what that is but, it could be a police officer. I don't want to go back so, I just pull her along and after a few moments later she catches on and follows me, running as fast as we can. I can't go back, I can't go back, I can't go back is all that's going through my mind right now. I can't and won't go back to that place.

We reach the woods to the right of where the thing was. Wist finds a large tree and we both start climbing it to hide from the thing. I have a feeling that it followed pretty far away from us so, we need to hide just in case. I get to a spot where I can see the meadow but, if someone were to look here they wouldn't see me. I don't see anyone at the moment but, I decide to stay there for a few more minutes, just to be safe. Wist is looking up at me with a questioning look. I just shake my head and she seems to understand what I'm trying to say to her.

Within the next few minutes, nothing comes. We get down from the tree and she lays down on the ground. She just lays there for a few seconds then sits up and grabs her backpack. She pulls out a pillow and two blankets. I'm guessing she wants to lay down and sleep. She wraps one of the blankets around herself, fixes the pillow on the ground then throws the other blanket at me. I gladly take it. I drape it around myself and sit next to her and lay on the pillow with her. She's facing away from me. I suddenly get a sadness that just swells in me. I'm suddenly very tired and feeling very alone. I don't experience this much at all. I'm usually such a happy person. Always smiling and laughing at things. I don't get sad like this. Another wave of loneliness hits me like a tidal wave. Wist is asleep by now. I look over to her. She turned. When did she do that? Surely I would've heard her or seen the movement out of the corner of my eye.
