I open my eyes and my head hurt.
I look around and I had no shirt on, and Tayler was right beside me with her eyes closed.

I rub my head and look around.
It was dark out and I couldn't see much.

I saw my shirt laying on the ground but it was ripped in half with the sleeves torn off.

My shorts were down on my ankles.
I pull them up and wake Tayler up.

"Where are we?" She asks.

"Tayler we're lost, and I was raped." I cry a little bit, I was traumatized.

I noticed she only had underwear and a bra on.
Her clothes were no where to be seen.
I remember packing a blanket in my bag.

My bookbag was hanging from the tree, so I had to climb to get it.

I pull the blanket out of it and hand it to her.
She wraps it around her body and I hand her a water bottle too.

We only had one left so we had to share.

We both had a breakdown.
It lasted for a pretty long time, we sat on the rocks and cried into our knees and onto each others shoulders.

"What if we never find Kian and JC again?"

I cry harder.
"We'll find them. I know we will."

"Don't you think if they cared we would have been found by now?"

"Tayler some of the wrong turns can last you years."

"I know but still." She frowns looking down at her cold toes.

Neither of us had shoes.

We look around some more and find a crumpled up paper under one of the sticks laying on the ground.

"Tayler didn't you bring a flashlight?" I ask.

She shakes her head no.
"I have one on my phone."

"Yeah let me see it." My phone had already died.

She hands me it and I read the note outloud.

"Girls I'm sorry for running away from you earlier but I was really worried for my real kids back a home.
I was training for running but they saw me and told their kids that I was their new mom.
I called the police so don't go anywhere, they'll be there to find you.
-Zoey."

I smile at the note and jump up and down.
"We're basically saved."

"Rosie the police is going to have a hard time finding us." She sounds hopeless.

I continue to look until I see two male figures along the tree.

It was dark and misty, I was scared to see those guys again.

"Tayler." I whisper, pointing to the guys.

She looks scared. We had to stay where we were because the leaves would crackle if we moved.
