Purple Tips (My New Escape)

Seventeen

Lush felt like having some fun today.

I remember me in nothing but a towel, dyeing my hair. She helped me out with it too.

"I swear to God Lush; if you get any of this on my fucking face..."

It was fun. Whenever I spend time with her, I'm so happy and at peace. Its a weird feeling, and I might be questioning things about myself.

We were leaving the hotel that day and decided to have a little fun.

We throw our stuff in the truck and drive off. We played DESTROYA while we were driving.

We were being very immature about it.

We pull up to a gas station and Lush hides the gun as we get out. We wanted some food so....

"EVERYBODY PUT YOUR HANDS UP!"

I burst out laughing. Lush had a gun out screaming her head off and there I was, rolling on the floor laughing.

Everyone was still and I just took stuff and ran out. It was stupid but fun.

We drove off as fast as we could and we didn't even see any cops.

I'm still laughing in the car and Lush is telling me to shut up.

She must be annoyed by me..

We drive for a few more hours and then I hear this on the radio.

"Two teenage, girls robbed a gas station in texas."

Woah.

"I didn't know we were in texas?" I said.

"Neither did I..."

"So that means they are looking for us....oh no..."

"That was fun. Were to next?"

"Again? Lush, they might catch us. I mean-"

"I want to do it, so you have to."

.....what?

"Whats your problem?"

"I want to do things that are fun. This is fun."

I slouch in my seat.

Remember, no future, no identity.

"Where to next?"

In about an hour, we pull up to a mall.

She starts to get out but I stop her with my hand holding her wrist.

"Wait."

She turns and look at me. "What?"

I pause before saying, "its crowded, filled with mall cops, this isn't smart."

She smirks. "Sombra, we have a gun and each other." She leans in. "Will you join me?"

I hesitate but her smile and voice convinced me to do it.

"Okay. Just this once."

As soon as we go in there, she is holding the gun like its normal and no one notices.

Once we are in the middle, she stopped and shot a store window.

My heart dropped and it seemed like she had no emotions. Her face had no expression and her eyes seemed blank.

No one was moving until she shot again.

And again.

And again.

Destroying windows of the shops and scareing people. Everyone was screaming and running.

The cops were running towards us. I took the gun from her and shot one.

The feeling of killing a human was terrible. No one should be doing this.

I didn't have time to think about what I've done so I tried to shoot another cop and I missed.

I was in front of Lush trying to protect her. I keep on missing and I get more scared everytime I miss.

I felt hopeless and lost on what to do. They get closer and closer.

I'm failing....

This is the end...

Six cops were grabing me and I was helpless. I look behind me and lush wasn't there.

Lush wasn't there.

Lush want there

Lush wasn't there

I started to scream and cry.

I was all alone.

Lush ditched me.

I was the one who was caught...

I'm going to jail...

I was in a jail cell hoping I would die.

I loved her.

I trusted her.

She's gone.

And I'm alone.

No money.

No gun.

No friends.

I'm alone.

And caught.

What have I gotten myself into.

I just cried in the floor hopeless, letting it all out.

This was the end for me...

Until....
