I sat on a big rock by the water and started fishing, we soon caught three fish.


A hand goes on my shoulder and I was pushed. I fell into the water and came out laughing.

"What was that for?" I laughed.

Drake laughs at me, "I don't know."

I stretch my arm out and grab Drake's shorts and tug him in the water.

We start laughing again, we had spent all day in the lake. Sun was starting to set and we finally made a fire, to cook our food and to dry off.

"This is actually kind of good" I laugh while having food in my mouth.

We laugh, "ya, it is."

"THERE THEY ARE!" A distant male voice was heard from afar.

We look at eachother with big eyes, we run into the tree house and grab our stuff and bolt out.


We could hear footsteps after us. My heart was pounding outside of my chest, holy God were going to die.

I soon became tired.

My running became a slow jogging, and next thing I know, everything went black.

Poke, poke.

Shake, shake.

"Alex Alllleeex."

Poke, poke.

Shake, shake.

"Alex" he whispered again.

I open my eyes, "are we in heaven?"

"No, silly. Were in the hospital."

"WHAT!" I scream.

"Shh!!!"

I start shaking, I was acting like I was having a panic attack but I wasn't. I started crying hysterically, shaking, trying to get out of the hospital bed but I couldn't.


Drake was holding me down.

"GET ME OUT!"

"Shhh! Be quiet AL! I'm right here, shh. Calm down."

Drake was trying to sooth me but it wasn't working. Soon nurses came rushing in.


They stuck a needle in my arm and i soon became sleepy. I stopped struggling and fell asleep.

***

I woke up. Drake was sitting beside me on a hospital chair.

"How did I get here?" My horse voice rung through the room.

"Have some water" Drake hands me some water, I take a sip than ask again.

"How did I get here?"

"You know the people we thought were my father?"

"Ya?"

"They were park police, we didn't get in trouble or anything, you blacked out. The doctor says you have hypothermia."

"Damn..."

"Ya, were just going to stick with the story that we lost our house so we were living in the tree house.."

"Ok."

Knock, knock.

"Come in" my little voice rang.

The door opens and I see a tall man wearing a police officer suit.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine, thanks" I smile.

"Ok." He walks out.

That was kind of akward.

"When will I get out of here?" I look at Drake.

"I literally don't know."

[Drakes POV]

"When will I get out of here?" Her beautiful brown eyes looks at me.

She was so beautiful and she didn't even know it, I just wanted to grab her by the head and kiss her all day long, I've felt that way for years. She lights up my world, she's the true reason why I live. Why I bother to stay when I'm at the age when I could leave.

"I literally don't know," it was a lie.

It was so big of a lie, I'm surprised my pants are not on fire.

She isn't leaving the hospital, she's not aloud.

Mainly because the nurses had seen her bruise's and her whippings. They know what she's went through and they can't let her go.

Unless she's under custody of a parent. But everyone these days are to involved with themselves that they don't care about her.

I can't take custody of her mainly because I'm to young.

So she's stuck here, no matter how old she is.

Alex's POV.

"Ok" I smile, atleast I was going to get out.

This is going to be awesome. I can't wait to get out of here and live with Drake.

I became sleepy and soon fell in a deep sleep.
