Resurrection

Chapter 4: The Escape

Chapter 4

      Before we left school we peeked outside the door to make sure it was Nyla-free. We ran to James's car and hopped in. He put the key in the ignition and pulled out of the parking lot.

"You going home?", he said keeping his head towards the road.

"Actually... You still have that sleeping bag I left at your house?"

"Uhhh yeah why?"

"Weeellll first I'm not me."

"Whaaatt?", he said turning his head towards me.

"I don't think my name is Lauren, James."

"Ooookayyyyy? Why do you think that?"

"I died."

"What?", he said swerving off the road a little then gaining back control of the wheel.

"JESUS JAMES!!", I said gripping my chest.

"Sorry but what the hell you mean you died?"

"I don't know which brings me to number two. I need to use your computer. Yesterday when I went to the computer room I found somethings that I think I should look into. Which brings me to number three when I was about to leave I bumped into the head mistress."

"Soooo?", he said waiting for me to continue.

"I bumped into her and was about to say sorry when she said 'you know to much already' and knocked me out with knock out serum!!", I said flaring my hands in the air.

"She did what? Lauren why don't you just come live with me? I don't want you there and it sounds dangerous."

"Because I don't wanna put weight on you and your family."

"Your not putting on weight. Your my friend and I want you to be safe. Getting knocked out with knock out serum in the place of which you are currently living in doesn't sound safe."

We pulled into the foster care building.

"What the hell are we doing here?"

"Get your stuff. Your coming to live with me."

"But-"

"Don't argue just do it."

I sighed and stepped out of the car. I pulled my hoodie over my head and walked into the building, heading straight for the dorms. I peeked through the door and saw that nobody was in there, so I went to my drawer and dumped all of my stuff in my book bag. I grabbed the small suitcase filled with clothes that was underneath my bed. I peeked out the door and saw the head mistress.

"Shit.", I cursed under my breath.

I listened to see if she was coming into the room.

"Get her and make sure she doesn't scream. We don't want any commotion. And YOU", I jumped a little but peeked out the door. She was pointing to the doctor ,"Make sure she forgets EVERYTHING!!", she continued sneering at him.

"Yes ma'am.", he said through gritted teeth.

Shit Shit Shit!!! They're coming this way!! Think Lauren. Think!! The window.

I walked to the window and pulled at the bars.

"Damnit", I cursed as I heard their footsteps getting louder.

"Use your inner strength", a voice in my head suggested.

I tugged harder at the bars until they eventually popped off.

The room I slept in was on the first floor thank god.

I opened the window and stepped through the window onto the ground. I lugged the suitcase to James's car and hopped in.

"Drive. NOW!!", I said looking back to the window.

"What? What happened?"

"They were coming for me."

"Well now they won't", he said smiling.

We pulled up into his drive way and exited the car. He had a very big house but I didn't want to impose.

"Ma?", James called out as we entered his house.

An aroma of fried chicken hit my nose as we walked in further.

"In the kitchen, baby!!", she yelled back.

"Hi mom.", he said kissing her on the cheek.

"Hey bab- OMG LAUREN? ITS BEEN FOREVER BABY!! HOW ARE YOU?", she asked engulfing me into a hug.

"I've been okay. How about you?"

"Good good."

"Awesome."

"James baby, did you get her to move in?", she asked chopping up the veggies.

What in the hell? She was in on it too?

"Yup.", he said cheesing at me.

I playfully slapped him in his chest.

"Owwww!!", he yelped rubbing his chest.

"Ooops. My bad.", I said smirking.

"You guys hungry?", Mrs.Witfield asked as she finished up dinner.

"Starving", I said taking a seat at the table.
