The sun is starting to rise and I'm now walking. I'm really tired and I have no idea where I'm going. I'm somewhere trailing along the road, woods to my left, road to my right.
I'm lost.
I look at the trees and landscape around me, trying to scope a clue to where I am. I fail. I then try to think, and pull out my phone from my back pocket. I scroll through my contacts, hoping to find someone who lives near that's not in my pack.
Cooper.
Yes!
I click his name and the phone starts to ring. As I walk, I listen to the annoying ringing, louder than usual. I hold it a bit farther from my ear, it hurts my eardrum.
"Hello?" Says a drowsy Cooper. Crap. I forgot it's five AM...
"Cooper?" Once I say it, I can tell he knows something's wrong. I hear sheets rustling and him groan.
"Grace, what's wrong?" I hear him scratch his head through the phone, then yawn.
"Um...I sort of ran...away-" Before I can finish, he exclaims,
"Are you insane?!?! Why?!?! Where are you?!" I tell him to calm down, but he doesn't.
"I'm near your house." I look up and see a couple loop house in the distance. I have no idea how I ended up close to his house, but boy I'm glad. I'm hungry. My stomach growls and my hand flies to it, thinking itll sooth it somehow. it doesnt.
"well, come on over, and we'll figure this out." I agree and end the call, walking towards his neighborhood.
I think about everything that has happened in the past month. Everything. It seems I was lost there, as well. Somehow, I was lost.
Then, for some odd reason, My mind drifts to Isaac. I smile at the times we shared. I wonder how he was going to prove his love for me? He never actually did. I know I shouldn't be thinking about him. I should get over it. But it haunts me. It's eating a corner in the back of my brain. He takes up part of my memories. He won't get out.
And, without him in my memories, I'd probably be lost.
