This time I really screwed up. I hung out with the wrong people. I can't believe what's happening. I just.. Saw a man being killed, with my own gun, and I'm all in his blood.. An actual human being. I know they've killed people, with me in their precence, but now it's different. I actually saw it. I saw the gun go through him. And it was shot by my hand. But it wasn't me, no, it was Sean.

This can't be happening. I'm not a bad person. Sure, maybe I have a few tattoos here and there, but it doesn't make me a bad person. An yes, maybe I've bullied some people at school, but.. I'm not a killer. I need to get away from this town.

Hell, I need to get away from this whole country.

I start running to my house and drop the gun from my hand. People wont understand, they can't. This is all a big huge misunderstanding. I didn't do it. I just was there and tried to stop the bleeding.. Well I was partly the reason, but I didn't intend it. I didn't know better.

Once I get home I grab a bag and put in some clothes, a 200,00 dollars from my family's emergency safe, personal belongings and pretty much everything I could possibly need. I have to get out of here, now. My parents wont understand, they wont even care. I call a cab once I've changed my clothes and it takes me to the airport. I'm seriously freaking out. I can't believe what they did.

I got to get out of here before the cops find the body and think it's me. I was farmed. It wasn't me.

Once I get out of the cab I pay to him and run to the building. I'm actually going to leave everything behind now. There's no looking back.

 As I get inside the plane, i sit down and sigh in relief, I'm getting away from this shit. But I just saw a man being killed right in front of me. I didn't know him that well, and now I never will. He tried to protect me from being shot. I'm just a regular kid, nothing special, who got mixed with the wrong kind of people. Ugh that's just a cover up, who am I kidding.

As the plane starts to land I sigh in relief, I got out of there. I take my belongings and walk out of the plane in a hurry. I then take a cab to the nearest 4 star hotel, since I got a ton of money.

I walk in the lobby, and I can only guess how guilty I look right now. I start to talk to the man who gives me keys to my room, and then walk to the elevator. On my left there's a girl, a little shorter than me, and with brown long hair. And most of all, absolutely gorgeous.

She turns her eyes to mine when she realizes I'm staring at her and smiles, and I automatically smile back and turn my head with a smirk. I really shouldn't get myself in trouble, but what trouble could she be?

"Hi. I'm Harry." I smile looking at her eyes, attempting to get to know her, and extending my hand.

"I'm Amanda." She says shyly and shakes my hand.

"How old are you?" I blurt out.

"Um.. Eighteen, you?"

"Same." I say looking at my feet, if only I was fourteen again, I could erase some mistakes.

"Why are you at a hotel?" I ask her and she giggles a bit.

"I had a fight with my roommate." She answers with amusement in her facial features. "Why are you?" She asks.

"I um.. wanted to get out of the country I was in, it was kind of suffocating staying there." I say hesitantly and hear the elevator beep, opening the doors.

"Oh, well I'll see you around." She smiles and walks out, leaving me to stand there awkwardly as I yell a goodbye to her. She seems nice. Tough I feel guilty not telling her the real reason, but I didn't exactly do anything wrong.

 That girl tough.. Amanda. I can't stop thinking about her. She's superb. More than that, she is enchanted and enchanting. Oh my god, I have to stop this. I've never fallen for a girl, and I most certainly will not now. It's just lust.

The elevator beeps again, and I step out, walking the hallway. I scan the door numbers, waiting to see my room. 

768...769...770..771...

"Ha." I mutter as I slide the key in the keyhole of the room 772, twisting it and I hear a click.

I walk inside, the fresh smell of a new house fills my nostrils. Well, in this case more like a new room, but everything is clean and tidy. I close the door, and walk further in the beautifully decorated room, that has a lot of space, probably more room than I need. I glance at the bed, and it's a couple sized one.

Well, at least I'll have a lot of space to sleep...

I sit on the bed and let out a long sigh of breath. I almost forgot my situation in the elevator, communicating with that girl. I don't usually talk to random people, unless it was to threaten them or something like that. And that was because I was selfish, saving my own freaking ass from my so called 'friends'.

If I could change the fact that I met John back in 7th grade, I would. I would never have answered him when he asked if I wanted friends. I was a nobody, a nerd, a freak. But he did me a so called 'makeover', but I'm still the same guy, just a little more muscular, confident and brave. And a little more stylish but you get the point.

They threatened me not to tell anyone the stuff they did, or else they would blame me for it. Even tough I didn't do anything, I just threatened people, but never hurt anyone. They thougt I was intimidating. Well, maybe that's cause of my father being my only parent, since I never knew my mother. She died at a car crash when I was three. Or so I was told. I don't really believe it tough.

I tried to fit in with them, but I never thought that after all these years they'd kill a person, right in front of my eyes. But I never intended all this madness, never. It was partly my reason.. I guess. And nobody really understood that I didn't mean any of this to happen, how could they? Why does nothing ever turn out like it should? With these thoughts, I find myself drifting into peaceful slumber.. Or so I thought.
