Home For a Heart

Ill be there in two

I pulled my knees close to my chest. 

My hair hung in braids. 

I was ready for a long walk today.

"Do you have everything?" Avon asked grabbing the last of his clothes, and stuffing them into a duffel bag. 

"Yep. How far away are we exactly?" I questioned him standing up.

i Opened the curtains. 

The sun had just risen, covering everything in its path with gold. 

"About 200 miles." Avon said shrugging his shoulders. 

We headed out the door together. 

My mind was racing. 

Two hundred miles until i see Harry. 

What will Avon do when I'm reunited with Harry? 

I couldnt just leave him behind. 

We walked up to the front desk and paid the awkward man. 

We then started  our Long journey down the road.

The sun stung my eyes, my skin was pink and sore.

My mouth felt like i had swallowed sand. 

Sweat rolled off me. 

I looked at Avon through my blurry vision. 

"Avon..." I said panting, "Avon i don't feel so good." 

I clutched my head. 

The world was whizzing by me. 

Colors smeaered together. 

Avon whipped around, his eyes wide. 

My knees buckled, and i collapsed. 

I nearly hit the ground until Avon caught me. 

I looked at him confused. 

My head throbbed and pounded against my skull.

"Your dehydrated, didn't you drink anything?" He asked nervously. 

I shook my head.

He picked my up, and carried me to a near by tree.

He laid me under the shade and slung his backpack off. 

He grabbed a bottle of water and held out to me.

I wasn't thirsty, "No thanks." I managed to mumble.

"Kali, you need to drink, that's what dehydration does, makes you think your not thirsty but you really are. Like extremely thirsty." He held it closer to me still persistent.

I was starting to get irratated.

"No." i shook my head.

He scooted closer to me and lifted the bottle to my lips forcing the liquid down my throat.

I was to exhustated and hot to protest.

I drank down the whole bottle.

"Looks like you were thirsty huh?" Avon laughed a little.

I sat up.

My head swirled and i flopped right back down.

Avon dug threw his bag again and pulled out a shirt. 

He took the water bottle and slowly  poured water on to the rag. 

He lifted me up gently placed it on the back of my neck.
