Darkness

Chapter One

I'm only at last in the woods and my boyfriend Justin is on his way because he knows me all too well. I start to climb a tree when I hear a noise and footsteps. "Lizzy where are you?" Justin yelled. I jumped out of the tree, 

"I'm right here what took you so long?" I asked giving him a hug. 

"Traffic and let's see now I need to calm down because you scared the crap out of me." 

"Sorry I was seeing if I could climb to the top." 

I was about to go to the car and grab my bag of clothes but Justin said that we should build a fire. After the fire was done I grabbed the camping stuff from my car and brought it back. Justin helped me set up the tent and get everything so that both of us could still fit. "Are you hungry," Justin asked after he closed up the tent? 

 "Yes I'm starving what are you making for dinner," I replied setting up our chairs by the fire? "Hot Dogs and chips."

 "OK."

After we ate I crawled in next to him in the tent and closed my eyes, "How long until I should go back home," I asked thinking about my baby sister? 

"When you think that your parents are calm enough not to yell at you when you try to explain what you did," Justin replied. I feel asleep only 10 minutes after our conversation

I was woken up in the middle of the night to a loud roar kind of noise it sounded like a truck or semi. Justin was looking around for something and then he pulled out a case and in it was his gun. "Be careful OK don't get hurt," I whispered. He nodded and then walked out. I heard a gunshot and ran outside and saw a person lying on the ground it was my dad. "Did you kill him or just wound him," I asked? 

"Just wounded he said that he wants you to come home and I said no and that she will come home when she is ready.

 "OK so now what do we do with him?

" I guess put him on your front door steps and ring the doorbell and run." 

"OK, that should work as long as somebody is home."

We got my father into the back of my truck and drove him to my house but it took us a little bit to get him on the steps and then we rang the doorbell and ran. We left the car doors open so we could just get in and we drove away to a spot so my mother wouldn't see the truck. My mother came and opened the door and I saw her emotions change and she pulled her phone out and dialed 911. We saw the signs of the ambulance and we started to go back to our camp and I saw that I left my phone here and I picked it up. 

My best friend messages me a couple times and I replied. 30 minutes after we dropped off my dad my mother called. 

¨What do you want mother," I said annoyingly into the phone. 

¨Um your father is in the hospital and I thought you would at least like to know that he was shot I thought you would care even a little bit,¨ she said and I heard her trying to hold back her tears. 

¨No mom I don't want to come back yet because then in a couple days I'll just leave again because of something you or dad did,¨ I said and then ended the call.

"Who called you," Justin asked after I came back and sat down next to him? "It was my mother but she had nothing good to say to me," I replied laying my head on his shoulder. 

"Did she tell you about your dad," He asked putting his arm around me?

 "Yes and wanted me to come home but I said no."

"Oh ok then so what are we going to do then stay out here then."

"If you want to our we can go to your house your mom has never minded me staying there before."

"Yeah we could do that or we could go somewhere else and stay but I think going to my house would be a better idea." 

"OK we can go in the morning because my mom willd be sleeping by now and I don't feel like waking her up yet."

I didn't reply so he carried me to the tent and we went to sleep there after about 30 minutes of just laying there and day-dreaming.
