Without You

Chapter 29

I walk down the road, I walk the same direction and didn't stop. I walk north. Im not too far from Canada and hopefully they couldn't find me as easily there.

I see a Cumberland Farms and go inside. I walk and smile at the creepy woman who is barely awake. I find the freezers and get a large water bottle, a butt load of chips, pretzels, and basically everything else that is there. I check out with the sleeping woman and she look at me like I was the crazy one. Hey at least I know she won't remember me if someone asks her about me. Like anyone would actually care enough.

I happened to buy a jacket there too. It was on sale which was a plus for me. It was November and it was getting cold, the more north I went, the colder it was supposed to get. Well at least that's what I got out of earth science.

I also had a map. My dad and mom always wanted to go to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia so I decided if they really wanted to go there, it must be pretty nice. I almost take out my phone to google map it but decide to save my battery and data.

I use the scale on the map to determine Newfoundland was ABOUT 1200 miles from where I was. I decide I would go closer to Nova Scotia which was only about 870 miles away from me. From there I could go to Newfoundland by boat. That would be about a week of walking every day. Luckily I'm in shape. I calculated the boat ride to be about 110 miles to Newfoundland and I could afford it.

Approximately 9 hours later I walked about 25 miles and it was 7:00 AM on a Monday. I am exhausted.

JakE: Allison where are you?

I decide not to not respond until later. I go under a large pine tree off the trail I was on a bit and lay down pulling the blanket I had bought over me and using my coat as a pillow.
