Okay no, what? Who even is this guy? Alot of red flags went up in my head. I don't care what happens to me precautions are always good. I remember seeing a documentary on this hot looking guy who was a serial killer. In other words looks can be very deceiving...

"Look kid i'm not a deranged psychopath waiting to get you." he said hurriedly "Mhm-hmm sure, that's what they all say but i'm listening." I shot back, its not like i had a choice by the looks if it. One: I'm supposedly wanted by a crazy man. Two: I have no idea where my mother is or what she planned for me to do. And lucky number Three: i have no idea where to go next even if i did make it pass all this chaos. A fifteen year old can only get so far with limited food and shelter.

He looked at my face and kept going. "I was paid to get you to a destination okay. I'm just trying to do my job alright." I gave him a look of uncertainty. He was talking like someone had a gun to his head. "Who sent you here and why are you picking me up specifically?" He was practically sweating now. "I am sorry but it is not my place to tell you these things but, you must get in the car now if you want to keep living." Wow this day keeps having me make life choices but i have a plan....Eneeie meenie mineey mo. Ahaha just kidding, but what the hell what do I have to lose really. "Just get me out of here then since you insist." I was risking alot but what do I really have to lose now.

**Le Music Pause**

It's crazy how a simple day can be turned upside down that it determines what happens to you twenty-thirty years from now. Just one simple task you do today can be your future.

I would have never thought I would be in the back of a random guys car "willingly" to go who knows where so I could keep living. But this is what mom wanted, she wanted me to live freely. She wanted me to stop worrying weather or not i would not show up home and be dead in the streets from getting beat up. She wanted me to have fun for once and make friends and grow up to be strong and independent. She wanted me to live life and that's what i plan on doing from now on.

Wherever i am going or what i'm seeing at least I'll have stories to tell my grandchildren. I don't want them to ask me my life story and all I say is that I got beat up. No, i have to make the most of life because I only have right now and my future and i won't let anyone take that from me. I want to be remembered and not just another face working a nine to five hour shift. No life, no dreams, no ambitions, that isn't me. I know one day thousands of people will be calling my name for a encore performance. For something i worked hard for, for something I struggled for. I don't know what's changing my mind now but I want to live.

I stared out the window of the car. Simple houses pasing by like a blur. This is still so crazy all of this, everything that has happened so far. That's life i guess, always keeping you on your toes. I just hope i make it out of this alive, well at least i died happy? I don't know im thinking to hard.

"Hey kid, we're almost here." I nodded solemnly. Wherever was here was. Could be a slaughter house for all i know. The man glanced at me. "If it makes you feel any better my name's Tony." Hmm Tony nice name. " Tony is a pretty cool name, mines Jade. Nice to meet you." Can never go wrong with manners. "Nice to meet you too then." Tony said with a smile.

We arrived at a giant brick apartment. Where the hell am I? I was starting to regret even getting in the car with him. "Well Jade i guess this is goodbye." He said with ease. "I guess it is Tony, thank you for bringing me here?" He chuckled and said "Trust me it will get better in time I promise you that." He took my bags and lead me to the entrance. He waved me goodbye and drove off. I looked at the door, it wasn't any kind of door it was a heavy duty door. Now that i think about it this whole building was in the cut, pretty shady to me. Large trees were pretty much everywhere, i was in the country side, far away from the city and a long way from home.

I surveyed the large door, it was at least 12 feet tall and made out of steel. Thick bolts held it together. It had a slide hole thing for you to see who it was. There were most likely cameras watching me right now. What should i do, Knock? I don't see a doorbell, holy cow this is going to be way harder than I thought. All my confusion was put to a pause when the slid thing opened and someone said "password." PASSWORD!?! now i'm officially panicking what happens if they leave me out here all alone. I heard it gets deadly cold at night. This is going to take a while....
