the next day
i wake up to find myself on a bench.
hugging my duffel bag?
i get up and pull out the handle on the duffle bag.
as i walk, i notice some other people are sleeping on the grass, benches, or the sidewalk.
they're homeless.
and so am i.
i put my hand in my left pocket of my hoodie.
it's kinda chilly for a day in August.
i feel a crumbled piece of paper in the tiny pocket.
i stop to open up the paper.
i spot a bench nearby and walk over to it.
after a couple of steps i take a seat.
i un crumble the note and scan the paper.
i realize it's the same note i got yesterday from stella.
i read the note in stella's neat handwriting.
Dear Ava,
While you were in the bathroom my mother called and asked me where I was. I couldn't lie to her because she would notice. I told her I was driving to North Carolina. I didn't tell her you were with me. She told me to come back immediately. I wrote this note and gave it to Alex at the gas station to give it to you.
i stop reading.
i look back at the note.
but at the bottom i see something i didn't read those past couple of times.
I still want you to achieve your goal of meeting this boy so I left $50 in the envelope so you can ride a train to there.
i don't see an envelope.
that alex guy must've took it.
i need to start walking.
so i do.
