The Bet

Last Breath

I closed my eyes thinking how this was the way I was going to die, he had the gun and was pointing it at me. let's start from the beginning on how I got here in the first place. It all started before I was born, my parents were involved with bad people. My mom and dad went to the FBI to hide away from them, they changed everything about them their whole identity. My parents never told me to keep me safe but I think it would of been better if they told me, it was my 17th birthday the day I found my parents dead on the floor and their blood in puddles. I couldn't breathe I was crying and I wish it was my last breathe instead of theirs I shut all of my close friends out I went to foster care until I was finally old enough to live on my own. when I reached eighteen I had scars all over my legs, brain dead and scarred for life. The only family I have was my cousin Emma and her parents. So I decided to call my aunt it was the second ring when she picked up "Hello?" "Auntie" I was crying in the phone "Clara? Hun where are you the foster care system wouldn't let me take you last year. Your old enough to come here would you like me to pick you up?" "Yes please" "Okay text me the address I love you sweetie" "Love you too auntie... thank you so much" "Clara were family no matter what life or death I have to go pay for your plane ticket" "Okay" I hung up. I texted her the address, I was actually happy for once after all the problems I went through i'm happy. I smiled and went back inside my foster parents house and went straight to Rachel's room. She's my only friend and she was their for me all the time when I needed someone. I ran into her room and hugged her from behind "I'm leaving i'm so excited I can't believe it i'm going to New York!". Rachel makes a sad face "Leave your best friend here I see how it is" "trust me i'll call every night i'll get Instagram too if i have to!" "I'll help pack!"

I heard a car honk as I walked out Rachel helped me with my bags after we got to the taxi I hugged her for a long time and told her I would call her when i got to my aunts. After I got into the car i waved at her and sighed. this was the beginning of a new life new school new people. The car ride was quiet so I decided to get Instagram and set up my account. I realized that we were already at the airport so I grabbed my headphones out of my bag and started walking to the plane because my aunt had the bags and tickets payed for. when i got on the plane I decided to post a picture. I was so happy i couldn't help but smile.
