Ten more minutes that’s all. Then you have to get up and go see them. Of course that’s what I said ten minutes ago. I new I should just get up and get this over with but I just really didn’t want to! George is gonna be so mad! I mean the disobeying him about riding Bill was kind of bad. But they think I ran away when actually they kept me hostage. Of course they’d probably think I was insane if I told them that. So now I have to come up with some story.
Maybe I could say I bumped my head and I was just walking around in a daze for about two weeks in the woods…………. No I don’t think they’d believe that. A normal person would have died I think.
Um maybe I was kidnapped by mad men who were gonna rape me. Yea! That’s it! They dragged me into their car and drove and drove and I finally escaped when we stopped to rest! I had to walk all the way home…….no they wont believe that either.
Dang it! Why is this so hard! They make it look so easy in the movies. But no in real life it has to be hard and difficult and just plain stupid!
While I was having my inner fit. I didn’t hear the door open. And I didn’t see George and John enter. I did however hear the door shut close.
My head snapped up and my eyes widen when I took in the two disapproving glares.
“Uhhh….hey.” I asked timidly. Neither of them answered for a minute. They just continued there glaring.
I couldn’t take the stares so I ducked my head and fidgeted with my fingers. I really, really, really did not want to talk but I guess it’s better to get it over with.
“So I guess you’re wondering where I’ve been?” I asked peaking up at them. George narrowed his eyes and John nodded his head stiffly.
“Well see.... I was gonna tell…..but then….so yea…...” That was my ingenious response. I personally thought it was a pretty good effort on my part, but apparently John and George didn’t agree with me. George was about to open his mouth to probably scream at me, but John stopped him with a raised hand.
“Alright Tara I’m gonna make a deal with you.” I perked up as I looked him fully in the face.
“You don’t have to tell us where you went” George looked like he wanted to protest but John gave him a look and he shut his mouth.
“If you tell us were the horse is and promise not to run away again.”
“I didn’t run away!” I immediately said.
“Now Tara don’t lie to us! We know you have a history of running away.”
“Oh yea, like I’m gonna run away in the middle of freaking nowhere. Where I have no clue where the crap I am and where the crap anything else is!”
“No listen here..”
“George she has a point.” John said.
“Now don’t tell me you’re siding with the delinquent!” George said giving John an incredulous look.
“HEY! When did I become a delinquent!” I cried crossing my arms and glaring at George.
“When you ran away, that’s when.” He said looking back and me and pointing his finger.
“I resent that! I am not a delinquent! I just had to go away because….” I stopped and tried to think of something to put there. They both seemed to perk up and my almost confession.
“Because what?” John asked leaning forward.
“Because of personal reason’s that’s why.” There I gave away nothing and I also gave them a legitimate reason.
