Run || g.d

Chaper 6

A few days later I decided to run out to the stream where I always go to clear my mind. The thoughts about my abusive father hunt me

I put on my sneakers and ran out the door into the humid weather

Finally after about 20 minutes of running on main roads I turned onto the dirt road and for the first time in a long time I slowed to a walk

I walked for about a quarter of a mile until the stream came into view

Sweat was pouring down my face and I was light headed

The water was cold and I wanted so badly to just jump in

Here in North Carolina the weather is humid and hot and very few people run in this type of weather

I took off my shoes and socks and dipped my feet in the cool water

I walked deeper until my knees were in the water but it still didn't cool me off completely

No ones around maybe I can just go for a quick dip

I walked back onto the grass and stripped from my sweaty running clothes

The water felt colder this time but I wasn't complaining

I dived in and it instantly cooled me off

This is much better than going to the town pool

I swam farther down the stream then swam back up it and boy it was a workout

I dove under again to fix my hair and came up for a breath

It was humid and my hair instantly got frizzy

I turned around when I heard a tree branch break and locked eyes with the one person I had hoped not to see......
