It's been 4 hours since I ran. I don't know where I am anymore, I'm just...walking. I rubbed my arms, attempting to keep warm. I hear the faint sounds of cars in the distance. I took a shaky deep breath, moving towards the small light past the trees.
I flash back to earlier. The footsteps, my father, the gunshot..my mother..I could've saved her..I jumped out my window instead. Why? I would've died with them, we would still be together. Why us? What was so special about our little town that we were to be robbed? We were such a happy little town, there wasn't a care in the world to care about, nothing new happened. Ever. So why us? Was there something I didn't know about? Was there something my parents didn't tell me?
I was suddenly drawn out my thoughts by a blinding light. I stepped back, shielding my eyes with my hands. It was pretty quiet. I looked around and sat on a nearby bench. I could feel small little drops of water starting to fall. I groan and hug my knees, knowing there's no shelter around to cover myself in. I braced myself as the rain started to fall harder. Just what I needed. Rain, not only making me feel worst, but making me cold and wet. Yay.
A couple cars pasted on the road. I just stared, not being able to sleep. I almost resorted to sleeping under the bench, but that was even more wet then being onto of it. I squeeze my hair out and get up. I don't have any money, but maybe I can find a place to keep dry. I started to walk, following the street lights. Soon, I came to a gas station. Better than absolutely nothing...
I made my way under, looking at the sign that, if the gas station weren't closed, that said - OPEN - that was turned off. I sat down against the wall of the building and sneezed. Great. Now I'm probably getting a cold, the flu, or freaking hypothermia. Just what I needed. Ugh if I weren't so conscious about it I'd be swearing.
This is just about the worst day ever. What's next? A gas station robbery? Yea, because that's what I need next..
I needed help.
I shivered as I felt my eyes grow heavy. I didn't feel like moving when I saw a car in the distance. Everything grew darker and darker as I drifted off into sleep in the pouring rain.
Ugh it's so so bad, I'm sorry guys it's super short but I had literally nothing to do to get this story moving a lot but this is the best I can do, the real story starts next chapter!! ~ Cat
