I was in the back of the police car. ( yeah I was running to find my brother) turns out Jackson called the cops and they found me. I got dropped off at my house. When the police drove off, I realized that the front door was kicked in. I ran. I didn't look back. I know what happened. As soon as I got farther away from my house, I looked at my phone. It's 11. I call up my best friend.
"Hey Rose."
"Hey what's up?"
"I'm going to your house" I hold back tears. I don't know how I feel.
"Riy , are you ok you sound like your crying?"
"I'm fine I'm 2 minuets away " I hang up. I'm sad, scared, confused, worried all at the same time. I sit down on the side because I need to get this all through my head.
10 minuets later --
I finally decide to get up. I decide to take the short cut through the woods. I'm thinking about my dad. He was never there for us. He was on to many trips. All of a sudden my phone was vibrating in my back pocket. I answer.
"Heller?"
"Riley where the hell are you!!!"
"None of your damn business that's where"
"Don't you dare at me! Jackson and I are trying to protect you now tells where-"
"Screw the hell off Nate if I wanted to be told what to do I would be with my father" I hang up. How dare he! He has no idea what I'm going through. I wish he would let me be myself. Just as I was thinking, I heard a twig snap. I turn around as quick as possible. Nothing of course. I turn around and keep walking. The sound of the rustling leafs makes me move faster. I am running. About 3 minuets later, I put my back up against a tree and try and breath. I turn to see what happened. Nothing was there. I turned back around and am meted with a hand over my mouth. I try and scream and I squirm around. I hear a click and freeze. I feel something cole against my head. My attacker has a gun. I'm terrified. I think of what rose always told me to do if something like this ever happened. Kick them were the sun doesn't shine. So I did. My attacker dropped to the ground. I run as fast as I can.
"GET THE DAMN GUN!!" My mind yells at me. I stop and turn. As I look, my attacker got the gun and is getting up. I couldn't get a good view of his face but I'm not going to stand here like an idiot and wait. I bolt like hell to Rose's
10 minuets later-----
I can only hope Rose is outside in her front yard watering her flowers. I can almost see her house when i feel a god awful pain in my shoulder. I grasp it and see blood. I keep running.
"ROSE HELP!!" I yell at the top of my lungs. I can see her house, but I need to get out of the woods. Now.
"ROSE HELP ME!!!!" Finally I can see her and she can see me. She drops what looks to be a flower pot. I can't tell from here. She bolts as fast as she can to me.
"RILEY!" She quickly grabs my good arm and runs with me into her house. All we hear and gun shots behind us. She closes the door behind us and locks it. She calls 9-1-1 before anything. She walks over to her cabinet and gets out her first aid.
" Riy who was that and why did he have a gun?" She asks cleaning my shoulder
"Well good news the bullet didn't go in you but it left a really deep cut." She was always good with first aid. As she helps me, I tell her everything that happened.
1 hour later----
" Wow. One question. Why the hell were you running in the woods?" Rose says putting her first aid kit back. I can't hold it anymore. I cry.
" They took Blake " I say hugging her
"Oh sweetheart.." Rose says soothingly. I love Rose. She is 17 and Im 16. She will be an amazing mother she is amazing with people. We sit at her bar talking. Then we hear a knock at her door. She gets up and answers it. Nate and Jackson. Standing. At the. Damn. Door. Thank you satan. I jump over the bar and decided I wanted to give the floor a hug. Now all I have to do is wait until they leave. And just my luck guess who comes around the corner. Tony. Rose'a 2 month old bull dog. He starts to lick my face so I decide to kiss the floor. ( don't judge me I'm emotional.)
