Don't let your mind fool you, don't let it let you think something has happened but it hasn't happened. Life isn't how it seems. Things go wrong when you think it's getting better. You could have a happy ending if you just try. Read to continue goin...
Nathan's gone. It's official, I have no one. What am I going to do now? ----------------------------------------------------------- "We gotta kill her tonight, we are running out of time." I hear Hunter yell.
He says they are running out of time, as if time was put into a bowl and given to you at birth. If you ate too much or too fast then your time is up. Spent. Wasted. Tick tock, she's dead.
Someone walks in the room and pushes a button causing the bed to be in a sitting position, so I'm sitting up. It's like a hospital bed. I don't recognize this person. This person looks to be about my age.
"Drink this." The person softly tells me bringing me out of my thoughts. He sits on the edge of my bed holding a cup out to me. I now realize he unchained me. I grab the cup and look in it. What is in it? Are they poisoning me so they don't have to waste a bullet on me?
"What is it?" I say furrowing my eyebrows at the clear liquid.
"It's water I fixed for you." He softly tells me.
"How do I know I can trust it's not poison?" I say.
"Because I'm helping you escape tonight. While they are outside, we are escaping. I was forced to join them. We are leaving, together. That's a promise." He tells me.
"By the way, my name is Markian." He tells me.
"Oh, how old are you?" I ask, curious.
"I'm 18." He answers.
"Did you get torn from your life also?" I ask.
"Yeah. I was getting ready to leave to college." He answers.
"I had just got out of high school when I was taken. I should be in college now." I say.
"I was going to go to Stanford, California." He tells me.
"Nice, I was too." I say smiling for the first time in forever. I hope I can trust him. ----------------------------------------------------------- Later Markian came in to get me. We silently crept to the front door and Markian opened it. We went over to a vehicle and got in it and drove off. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Many check ups and police reports later, they put Leo and Hunter in jail.
Markian and I got our spots back in Stanford for college. So, everything is ok again. Except for losing people. I moved out of my apartment mom and I fussed about. I moved in with my friend Amelia, she's going to the same college as I am. She stayed at home just waiting for me to come back this entire time. She could have already finished a year of college by now but she decided to wait around for me. We leave tomorrow going to college. I dyed my hair back to it's natural, black. Markian and I still talk. I'm surprised they didn't put him in jail. He's a sweet guy.
