My Version of Romeo and Juliet

Chapter Five: Watching

Katie's POV
I grabbed my coat and started on my usual route. Just because I made one sound in eight years doesn't mean anything. Nothing is going to change. I'm just tired of Esmeralda always talking to me. And then she.... I don't know, but what I do know is it doesn't mean anything. I'm still going to look for my mother and I'm still going to be quiet around people. I'm still not going to care. I never cared before, so why start now? As I was deep in thought I heard a twig snap. I turned my head so fast I'm pretty sure I got whiplash. Nothing was there. But I could feel something was there. Something was listening. I started walking a little faster but then stopped completely. What if it's her. I turned and ran back to where the sound originated. "MOM? MOM ANSWER ME! PLEASE! PLEASE! Mom...mom please..?" No answer.

Jayden's POV
I was watching her walk and listening to her sorting her thoughts out. Luckily none of them involved last night. All the sudden she was looking at me. I hadn't realized I had stepped on a twig, until it was too late. Luckily she got scared and started walking faster. But then she did something I never thought I would witness. She turned on her heels, ran towards me and screamed. Screamed for her mom. She thought I was her. I shook my head and backed away towards the house knowing she would be going home early. As soon as she had finished screaming I could feel it. The onslaught of feelings. Anger, depression, everything she had locked up for eight years and pretty soon as I was arriving at the house I could hear her screaming not for her mother but for God. It was in her thoughts. She was screaming for help. I ran back to her as quick as I could. Terrified she would do something horrible.
