Melvin and I rush to my house.
"What, what are you doing?" Alec asked confused sitting on the couch.
"I..I'm running away, please don't tell mom and dad just make up something." I say
"I wont, I understand." Alec says as he lifts up his sleeve and I see a tattoo on his wrist, I look at Melvin and he has the same one. Three, three's crossing eachother to look like a star. "Hurry, they'll follow, trust me." Alec says as I run up stairs with Melvin and Pack random clothes into a suitcase. I go outside and put the suitcase in the trunk of the car. "Ready?" Melvin ask I look at my brother with a smile. "Ready..." I say softly as I get into the car. As we pull out of my drive way and start to drive I look out the window and I see 2 cars speeding up. "Turn left!" I yell. "There's no road!" Melvin yells back. "Please." I say as I look into Melvins eyes. Melvin turns left and looses control of the wheel and crashes into a tree. The 2 cars continue to go straight but slows down, and I know they're going to turn around. "That was close." I say as I look at Melvin. His head is just on the wheel, he's not moving. "Mel, Melvin, Melvin, hey wake up." I say as I start to move Melvin around. "Melvin, no, no, no, ple-ease......wake up." I say softly as I hold his hand. I lay him down on my lap and began to do CPR. "Come on, wake up." I say as I beat on Melvins chest. Melvins fingers began to move, and he began to cough. "Oh my god you scared me." I say as I kiss Melvin. We both get out the car. "How's your uh, leg?" I ask Melvin as he looks down at it. "Still metal." He says jokingly as we laugh. "What now, we have no car." Melvin says as I look across the street and I see Chris's house. "Come on." I say as me and Melvin run over there. I knock on the door. "Hey." Chris says. "Can we come in." I'm hopping he'd love me enough to let me in. "Ye-Yeah, my parents aren't home so yeah." Chris says as me and Melvin walk in. "So what's up?" Chris ask as we hear a huge knock on the door. "Chris, me and Melvin need some help, we need to barrow your car." I say to Chris as the knocking turns into a sound of wood breaking. "Go up stairs." Chris says as the door breaks and a man comes in with a 5 inch knife. "Go!" Chris yells as he runs up the stairs. Chris suddenly stop running and just stode there. "Come on, Chris." I say as I grab his hand. He jerks it back. And falls to the ground with a knife in his back. "Chris!" I yell as Melvin takes the knife out of Chris and throws it into the man's neck. The man falls over dead. "Chris, w-wake up, please!" I yell as I turn him over and see his eyes blink. "B-be careful." Chris says as he slowly closes his eyes, and dies. Tears flow out of my eyes. I never got to tell Chris the truth and he died infront of me, and I had at least 30 seconds to tell him, I had more then 3 seconds, way more, I had this whole time. "Court we have to go." Melvin says as I kiss Chris's lifeless body on the forehead and get his car keys that were hanging on the wall.
I run over and get the suitcase from the other car and put it into Chris's. "Let's go." I say as we get into the car and take off, the sun begans to rise as I roll down my window and put my hand out of it. "I dont, I just" I say as Melvin stops me. "Shhh, it'll be okay, we just got to let go, just let go of the lost memories." Melvin says as he looks at me, I look at him too, with a smile. As I look out the window and see the empty highway. I don't know what will happend to Alec, my dad, nor' my mom, Ariana, anyone. But all I know is that Melvin and I will just follow the road where ever it takes us.
As long as I'm with Melvin, I'm okay.
