Separated (Cimorelli)

Chapter 3

Christina's POV

It was a very hot morning a few days later but we continued our journey anyway. Not to anywhere in particular.

"I'm really thirsty" Lauren said

"I need the toilet" Dani added. I sighed and stopped the car.

"But we're in the middle of no where"

"Go in a bush" I replied, she made a face of disgust and I tried not to laugh. She gave in and stepped out the car. I then passed a bag of water and drink to Lauren. She thanked me and took a few large gulps of water, we mostly only had water and fruit as those were the easiest to get hold of and kept out energy up and our bodies healthy. Both the girls were mature for their age.

Dani soon came back "better?" I asked

She nodded "kinda" then poured water on her hands to clean them trying not to waste too much.

"No one's around, let's just take a break" I said and took off my seat belt and turned up the radio. The news was on.

"Christina Wilson, seen running from her home in California, then seen for the last time with a young girl who we now know as Danielle Smith in a stolen car. Her father Sir Wilson says they have no way of tracking her down at the moment but have full security all over the country and leaving or coming into the country is now impossible." The news lady said.

"Christina Wilson? You're Christina Wilson?" Lauren said confused.

"Yeah I am, I ran away so I had to disguise myself. I'm here on this earth to change how this world is run. I feel it's what I need to do"

"I get that feeling..." Dani said "but everyone else seems so-"

"Robotic and-" Lauren continued

"Controlled" I ended. We all looked at each other.

"How do you know what I'm literally thinking" Dani said stunned.

"Maybe all of this really was meant to happen" I shrugged.

"But how can we, just three girls, change the entire world?" Lauren asked

"I don't know yet Lauren" I sighed "we'll find a way"

"Sorry but this bothering me, you said your principle locked you in that place. I just really want to know why" Dani said moving about in her seat. Me and Lauren chuckled at Dani's impatience.

"Basically as you were talking about, that feeling. I went to a boarding school, no one really talked it was just Get up, shower, get dressed, eat, school, study, bed. Everyday, no breaks, no going home, I didn't even have a home, not that I remember. Everything was done in a set time and no one was allowed to put a step out of line. No one ever did, well apart from me, the feeling made me different to all the other kids. I'd accidentally do things wrong I guess. One day I was late for lesson which was completely out of order apparently. My principle locked me in this cell thing, it was cold and I became hungry. I doubt they would have ever let me out. They wanted rid of me but they didn't want in the outside world either" she explained. Me and Dani were stunned.

"I guess I'll go next" Dani said "so my family were so "picture perfect" in everyone's eyes. They weren't towards me though. They told me I didn't belong with them. I could tell I didn't anyway. I was nothing like them. They'd abuse me verbally and physically then one day we were at the airport moving away. My brother Kallen started hitting me so I finally, for the first time fought back. I shouted and next thing I knew my dad hit me around the head with a wooden board and when I woke they were gone and there Christina was" she said looking at me.

Then I started "the day I ran away I spent most of it in my back yard which had a creak at the end, it was my favourite place to go, where no one was there to tell me how to act and look and what to say and what not to say. I had been considering running for years but never been brave enough to finally do it, my dad told me to inside and study even though he never expected much from me as I never did study. When I got to the study room Lara, my cousin was sat there. Working her butt off like everyday though in all honesty she wasn't clever at all and was just trying to please people constantly. She was like the opposite to me and she thought I was crazy for not sitting there day in day out. We started bickering and before I realised I got this urge to just go ahead and leave. So I did it. There were people everywhere outside my house as usual and they asked the noisiest questions but I pushed my way through and went to the airport"

"It's weird how different our backgrounds are but still we are similar thought-wise" Lauren said "funny thing is I thought you two were sisters at first, you look so alike"
