Reborn

Chapter 12

I gasp. We have been running for like half an hour. My lungs feel like they are burning. My legs are like jelly.

   And I love it. I've become addicted to running. The harshness of the wind as the seasons trade and the feeling of accomplishment for something in my life.

   I close my eyes. After my break down, I slowly got better.
I feel, good. Great.

   We are into the second stage of training, and it's getting a bit tougher.      
  We get up at 5:30 everyday and leave at 7 to go back. Eat, then go to sleep.
   I don't have to talk with anyone, but I'm sorta missing it. The chattering of Amera and the laughs of the Roy. Even the silence of Breck settling in the room.

  I sigh. It's been two weeks and it's Friday. We're able to go back to the house.
  We planned on going tonight, and we already have everything packed.

  I'm not that excited for the room, but sleeping in til' 11 is going to be great. I love it.

  I look around as we come to a stop. Amera looks at me. "You ready" she asks.
I nod my head.

  We go into the room and I grab my black duffle bag, getting ready to leave.
   I hear yelling. I groan. We've been good for like a week and a half.

  "YOU DONT UNDERSTAND! THOSE WERE MY ONLY PAIR OF LEGGINGS" I hear Amera screaming from her position. I walk over there. Her dark eyes gleam as I  walk towards them. "Shhhhh" I say. They both quiet. "If I have to hear you arguing again, I will pull off your lips." I smile and walk away. "Dear God" I hear Roy say. I walk out the door to the car, getting in. I put my earbuds in that I got from some store inside the gym.

  I close my eyes, my head settling back into the nice, plush, headrest.

   My eyes burst open. The car door opens as Roy bursts in. I let out a breath, relief flowing through me. I look at my phone. 8:24. "What took you guys so long" I ask. Roy just shakes his head.
I sigh.

   Once we get back, exhaustion weighs down on me. I plop onto my bed, falling asleep.

   I wake up, my eyes drifting over the details of the room. Wait. ITS GONE. The pink is gone!!

  It got replaced with this nice blue-gray, and I have black decorations. Yes. Yes yes yes. I sit up, squealing. Oh THANK GOD!

  I stand up stretching, in a good mood. I smile, getting dressed and walking out.

  "Well aren't you up early" I hear Amera say, surprise glittering over her face.
  I just let out a breath. I grab the cereal and sit down, eating it dry. I see Roy look over at me.

  "Are you okay" I look up. "Yeah why wouldn't I be" I reply. Roy's eyebrows crease. "Your just in a really good mood" he says. "Oh, well, my room got redecorated and its great. I say standing up. I walk out, heading towards the track

   I come back inside all wet. It started to rain. Like POURING rain. "What happened to you?" Roy asks.

  I glare at him. All of my happiness got tossed into the wind as I ran. For what reason, I don't know. I was just running and it started raining and I thought, this is my life now.
   Chasing demons or whatever they are called. Sure it's cool, but what happens when someone else dies. 
  I've gotten way to attached to them. I shouldn't have. AND I will have to wait longer for them to come back.
He just looks away, focusing on his book.
