Another Life

What a mess

I wake up still in the woods. It's evening now, it looks like it is 7 o'clock at night. I hear my name. It isn't Zoey though it's Sebastian. Do I really want to stay here or do I want to tell Sebastian where I am. I honestly want to get out of here. If I tell Sebastian where I am he finds me but then, I have to hear him talk about what happened. I don't think I can handle my heart breaking again. I can text Zoey.

I pull out my phone. I try to turn it on. Great my phone died. How I didn't use it all day. Just my luck for the first day of school. What a mess. I try to climb out of the hole but I can't. Then I hear her voice the voice that saves me. Zoey is calling my name. She is near by, I'm saved!

"Zoey!" I yell. I wait a second. "Zoey I'm down here," I yell again. I hear footsteps coming towards me. It isn't only Zoey here Sebastian is too.

"What happened?" Zoey yells. Even though she already knows.

"I hit my head and passed out," I yelled. Zoey knew what happened she knew I was lying. Sebastian I can't tell. I think he is wondering if I'm telling the truth. I don't think he believed me. Zoey and Sebastian pull me out of the hole.

"Sofie your freezing," Zoey says.

"That what happens when you stay out here for 4 hours," I say.

"Let's get you home," Zoey says. What if everyone knows I was gone. Like Zoey usually does reading my mind. "Don't worry If I didn't find you by nine then I would tell everyone," Zoey says.

Thank goodness I might have been grounded. I go into the back of the car and lay down. Zoey and Sebastian sits up front. We drop him off first. He turns back to me about to say something but he doesnt. He turns and goes into the house. Zoey doesn't leave yet though.

"Ok tell me what happened?" Zoey says. Sounds like this car isn't moving until I tell her.

"I ran out of the classroom not stopping by my locker. I ran straight into the forest. I didn't get far. I fell and landed somewhere. I didn't get up I stayed there and cried until I fell asleep," I say lookin at the seat.

"Sofie I'm sorry but I think tomorrow will be a better day," Zoey says.

"You think so?" I ask with hope in my voice.

"I do," She says smiling. I don't ask what is going to happen if it's a better day then I'll be ok with it.
