CH.21 "only we could"

It had been a week since you ran away from the apartment and slept on the flat, cold roof of the gas station nearby it. Currently you were walking on the road with a backpack and a switchblade in your pocket. You always carried around a weapon incase one of the Creepypastas ever came and tried to attack you. So far you haven't seen or heard anything from them, which to you, is good. You don't wanna die, not tonight, not tomorrow, not in awhile. You sighed. Maybe it would have been better for you if you stayed. You wondered if Lambert is okay and didn't die. Should you go back? No... you are too far away from them. They are 110 miles away, you shouldn't go back. It would be a mistake. But it'd be better than walking alone on a dirt road in the middle of no where. You have no where to go. A car pulls up next to you with tinted window and their window goes down slowly and you can see who it is. It is a man with extremely nice dark brown hair, and he's wearing a tan jacket which is open. His shirt is black and he has a small bruise on the side of his head. He gestures for you to go into the passenger side. You know you shouldn't go into cars with strangers, your parents told you that many times when you were a lot younger but as an adult now it doesn't really matter to you. You accept, walking around the car and opening the car door, sliding into the leather seat. You look at the man. He is very handsome. "My name is Timothy, or Tim for short. And you are?" The man, Tim, asks you. You decide to trust this boy, Tim seems nice. "(Y/n). Why'd you stop?" You reply, raising an eyebrow and buckling yourself up as he has the car shoot off. "You seem like you're running away, and I know what it's like to run away too so...." Tim answers, concentrating on his driving. You begin to stare. "I am, and you're running too?" You ask curiously. Tim nods. "We're alike. Running from monsters. I know." Tim suddenly says, which makes you confused. What? "Running from monsters? So you know what I'm running from then? A monster?" You tilt your head questioningly. "Yeah, you're running from BEN, and I'm running from 'the operator'. I've seen some shit, and I've done bad things I wish I didn't. I lost people, and I'm going to guess you have." Tim commented. You nodded and looked away. "I guess." you sighed. "Are we like..... running? Together?" you asked. Out of the corner of your eye you see Tim shrug. "Sure, I guess. Where do you want to go?" Tim replied, glancing at you. You looked in the distance. "Far, far, far away from here." "Alright. Farther we go then.."
