Before. Oh how I wish I could go back to that comfort. That beautiful word: before. But I can't. Both of us are stuck here, Liam and I. On the run. With nothing and no one on our side.
Before. Before all of this, we were happy. I was just an awkward high school girl, trying to get my crush to notice me. Liam had always been my friend, of course. My best friend's brother. But he never noticed me like that. And that was all I had to worry about.
Before. Before that fateful night, the night I thought maybe, just maybe, I could get Liam to see me how I saw him. The night we snuck away from the campground on our school field trip to explore the woods. I was so stupid. No matter how this turns out, none of that night was worth it. Not even getting Liam to kiss me. I'd trade it all twice over to get that life back.
Ever since that night, I've lived my life in fear. Afraid I would get hurt. Afraid I would hurt someone else. Afraid that I'd be killed. Afraid that they'd go after my family to get to me.
I'm sure you're wondering how we got ourselves into such a terrible situation. Surely two teenagers sneaking out of a campground isn't bad enough to be punished so severely?
Well, let me tell you one thing. We weren't punished. We were trapped. Wondering how? Of course you are. Might as well tell you the whole story...
Author's note!
This idea literally just hit me. I was thinking, hey, I should start a new story! And then BOOM - plotline formed. Don't ask me how. But please tell me what you think so far, it would mean alot to get some feedback on the beginning of the story!
