I ran into the dark, secluded woods. I could feel my breath running out now. I stopped and fell to the floor I can't let my fear get the best of me. I see a boy walking through the forest, "Hey" he said. He looks about my age, with swooped black hair and green eyes. He looks at me again, are you ok? He asks. I don't know what to do and I don't have anywhere to go I said. Your shaking, are you ok. Not really I replied. All I know is that my mom ran away, my dad was shot and that I'm running into the forest like a lunatic. sounds serious, the boy said. What's your name? I asked. Jamie, what's yours? I'm Kate. Well, You know why I'm out here so why are you? I asked. I'm running from someone. So do you want to come with me? Jamie asked. I guess. Ok, let's go. Are you going somewhere specific cause I don't want to waste my time finding what you need. Well your nice aren't you. you've got to be kidding me, I said starting to get annoyed. Let's just not go together. I started walking through the twisty forest and quickly noticed that Jamie was following me. Can you not go on your own or something? No, I could. Then leave me alone. No, He said firmly. Ok, but if your coming with me then you follow me. I'm not following you. You don't even know where your going! Oh, and you do? Yes, I do! I'm gonna stay in my grandfathers abandoned barn. Who are you running from anyway, I ask. And where is your family? I'm a foster. I'm running from my foster parents. Why would you- he cuts me off. They act like they love me but I over heard them say they were gonna kick me out. So I made there job easier. Now let's go. We'll get to the barn quicker if we go a different way. Easy buddy, I didn't say I would live in your shack. I didn't say you had to live with me, and it's a barn not a shack. maybe you could just stay for a few nights until you get everything figured out. fine I'll stay in your barn. Jamie smiled, Come on its this way. We finally made our way out of the forest and a big red barn was in sight, it looked old and rustic but not abandoned. Are you sure this place is abandoned? I ask kind of scared. Yah, I'm sure trust me. Ok. There's two beds in there, a fridge, a bathroom, everything we'll need. Ok then, I guess I'll stay. Alright, come on we'll go in the back door. We walked into the barn and every footstep I took made the floorboards creak. see, it's perfect! Isn't it? Yah, besides how it's old, creaky and kinda scary, it's perfect. I say sarcastically. He showed me the bedrooms there was a double bed and a single. I chose the double. I looked around and I saw a old looking bathroom and a small kitchen. It was far from perfect it was creaky everything was old and it scared me. I felt like people could just get in here or we could get in trouble for hiding out here and for me not getting help. Jamie seemed nice and I think he could protect me if I needed it but this whole situation is crazy.
