Below me there was a river.
"Help."
"Who there? I'm coming!" it was a male voice. I looked up to see Locus. I remember meeting him in the woods a couple of times. He seemed nice; he helped me when I got lost.
"April?"
"Hi Locus."
"Give me your hand."
"I can't."
"I won't let you fall!" I stood up on the branch.
"What the hell are you doing!"
"Shut up and take my hand before I fall!" I yelled he pulled me up. His hands were sweaty. I started to slip.
"Hold on."
"I am trust me!" I grabbed hold of a rock. I kept thinking to myself. YOU ARE ROCK CLIMBING!
"Wipe your hands there sweaty."
"I won't let go of you!"
"Please wipe your hands!" he grabbed me with his others hand. He pulled me up. I quickly embraced him.
"Thank you!" I kept holding him. He pulled back a little to look at me.
"What were you doing?"
"Running."
"What were you running from?"
"I wasn't running from anything. I was just running." He pulled back and exam me. He touched my arms, legs and my face. His touch made me feel good.
"Ow." I jerked back.
"You hurt your ankle."
He helped me to his camp site. He sat me on a log.
"You're sleeping out here again?" I said
"Ya. Here let me wrap your ankle. I have a first aid kit." It was getting late
"Can I stay with you tonight?" that took him by surprise.
"Ya. Sure." I took my phone out of my shoe. My ankle was killing me. I took my shoe off from the foot that was hurting me. I knew my dad was at work so I texted my uncle who is the sheriff of this town. He never gave up looking for me. I love my uncle. He is always been a big part of my life.
"Hey uncle I want someone to know I 'm camping out tonight. Can you tell my dad please?"
~ALWAYS LOVE~
I waited for his respond. I was looking at Locus making a fire.
"I only brought one sleeping bag. You can have it for tonight."
"Oh I'm good. Thank you. It's a nice night."
Tada noise came from my phone.
"What was that?"
"It just my phone."
"Okay sweetheart. Be careful. Cal me if you need anything. Love you."
~THE MAN~
"Love you too." ~ALWAYS LOVE~
I put my phone back in my shoe
"How bad does your ankle hurt?"
"Not that bad."
"You're lying."
"Maybe." We were having a good time talking until I open my big mouth. I said.
"Having a bad night at home?"
"What?"
"Well you sleeping out in the woods again and every time I ask about your parents you change the question or the look in your eyes."
"You know nothing about my life!" I had hit a nerve.
"Well."
"Well what! Your life sucks because your daddy doesn't give you what you want!"
"You know nothing about me!" I stood up. We were face to face.
"You don't let me in." he said
"Well guess who talking! I would do the same and camp out here if my dad wouldn't freak! All I'm saying is I get it."
"You don't get anything." He took a step forward.
"You don't get that my mom is never home and my dad is a drunk and he hits when he is mad.
"Boo fucking who!" he shoved me because of my ankle I couldn't catch myself and fell on a pile of rocks and twigs.
"Shit sorry." He tried to help me up.
"Don't touch me." I laid there staring up into the sky tears running down my face.
"I get not being loved. I been through thing that most people end up dead or never really come back." That stop him in his tracks.
"April what happened to you?'
"Life happened to me."
I could hear the animals around us.
