Chapter Sixteen

Okay, so you may be thinking, "Why in the world are they breaking into a house with people in it? Are they trying to die in their teenage years?"

Shit, I was thinking it too. We thought that we thought the plan through. But maybe not. I was taking a chance. Just around this time last year I wouldn't have dared do anything like this. I wouldn't have even mustered up the energy to leave the nice safety of my house.

But I realized that if I'd did that, I would still be the same scared clueless girl I was when it all started. And Kiersten gave me strength. Probably more so than I gave her. She may have thought that I was Fearless Sienna but deep down I was Scared Shitless Sienna.

So as we made our way to the house that held the two people I hated the most at moment, I kept reminding myself to breathe. Take even breaths.

I ran to the side of the house, Kiersten following close behind. I could practically hear my heart beat in my ears, I was so nervous. "Wait." I said, putting my hand out. We paused our breathing, thinking, living.

There was a slight noise in the backyard. Then the sound of a rickety door opening. "Duck!" I whisper-shouted. Luckily there were bushes close by so we ran over. I peaked out and it was like my heart froze mid-beat.

Keith was walking down the driveway. The garbage truck had already came so he was probably going to get the empty trash can and bring it to the backyard. I didn't hesitate. No.

I couldn't. It was like God was looking out for us. This was probably going to be our only chance to get in unseen. "Cmon!" I whisper-shouted again.

I darted towards the back door, Kiersten at my heels.

We were in.
