The Unstoppable

Grounded.

The cop car was going to the police station right away, and my mother greeted me there. "Paige......you are in so much trouble!" Her tone was demented. " Mom, it was an accident! I swear! I'm sorry!" I was crying again.  " Miss, Paige. Can you tell me everything that happened?" The cop was extemporaneous. " Uhm, I was driving to school and I didn't see anyone, and my mom texted me to stay inside and not go to school.  But I didn't see the messages until I got to school, and I went to back out of the parking lot. After that I hit the person. And from there on. The person didn't even seem like they knew they had been hit. After the paramedics help..." I was cut off. " That will be all, Paige. Thanks for you're time." The cops escorted me out to my mother and told me that there was no charges that it really was just an accident. Then nearly shoved us out of the door so we couldn't ask any questions. " Mom, what the heck is going on! Why did that person bite the paramedic! Tell me now!" My voice was frantic and shaky. " Honey, I wish I knew, nobody knows whats going on, the authorities wont tell us.  And young lady, your lucky that you got off so easy! When we get home go straight to your room!" Her voice was exasperated. "Mo...." I was cut off again. " I don't want to hear it Paige! Your almost seventeen and if we can't even trust you with a car then how can we trust you with anything else?" Her voice was perturbed. 

The car pulled up to the drive way and the second she stopped the car I got out. Dad was there. " What happened, honey." I kept walking straight to my room locking the door not even saying a word. I pulled out my journal and started writing. 

" Dear journal, the weirdest thing could have happened today. ( Yes, i'm almost seventeen and I don't care what you think) I was going to school and no one was there, and then I hit someone and they acted like they weren't even alive. In fact I don't think they were alive. Then they BIT the paramedic like it was SOME KIND OF JOKE. What is going on in the world? What is going to happen, are people getting sick? I don't know and i'm so confused. 

After I wrote I tucked my journal in my back pack, along with gum, pencils and more paper, girl things, and 3 bottles of water, and crawled out of my window. After I was out I started walking.
