-No control-

Chapter 31

Green and brown surround me for what looks like miles and my mind is turning.

I drop to my knees and lay in the dirt for a minute. I have no idea where the hell I am and that worries me. I'm at least a two miles from home from but I'm not sure what direction home is in.

I decide that the best plan for me to get out of the woods is to retrace my steps then follow the road home. I mean, I did drive here so once I find the road I should be able the find my way home.

I begin walking back in the direction I believe  is the one I just came from. Twigs and leaves crunch under me with every step of my old shoes.

I've been walking for about five minutes and I have a strange feeling. I feel like someone's watching me. I stop in my tracks but I still hear twigs crunching near me. I look behind me and in the distance only a few feet away is a deer. It's beautiful yet terrifying. It's golden brown fur basically glows in the midday sun.
I slowly walk towards it and it stays completely still. Then suddenly it runs in the opposite direction. I stand there and watch it run away till it disappears in the trees. Then I continue to walk.

I walk and I walk and I walk till my feet begin to hurt. I finally found the street but I still have a long way to go.

Hours later the sun is gone. I took a few breaks to give my feet some rest but I'm close. I continue walking through the neighborhood till I see my house in front of me. But Harry's car isn't in the driveway . I walk up the stairs to the door and lock it behind me.

"Hello?" I yell through the house. No answer.

I run up to Harrys room and look around. No one.

I run into my room and collapse onto the bed in tears. He's probably not coming back. It would probably be easier for him to live on his own than with me because I just make everything difficult. I cry into my pillow and knock my shoes onto the floor. I'm so tired from walking I get under the covers and drift off.

•Several hours later•

I wake up to a noise but I'm so tired I don't know what made it. The light shining through the window leads me to believe that it's morning and I slept all night.

I hear footsteps going through the house and my heart stops. I jump out of bed and quietly walk to the door. I open it and walk down the hallway. As I'm walking down I see Harry walk out of my parents room.

"Emma!" He yells!

"Harry!" I yell back and run up to him.

He hugs me as if he was never mad at me in the first place and that's really what I needed right now.

"I thought you were still out there!" He says softly into my hair.

" I thought you left me." I say into his shoulder.

" I would never leave you Emma. Your all I have." He says pulling me closer.

"You promised you wouldn't do this again. You scared the hell out of me."  He whispers.

I cringe at the thought. I totally forgot I promised to him I wouldn't run away again after the last time.
