Chapter 11 

The next morning I woke up to a blinding light coming from my window called the sun. I groaned but decided to get up and go to for a run. I got dressed and grabbed my iPod and earphones then headed downstairs. Before I made the out of the door I heard mumbling coming from a closed door. Being my curious self I walked up to the door and put my ear against it to here the voices. "I'm so sorry Abbigale." I heard my uncle's voice say and I was surprised when I heard a response. "I know you are but I just don't know if I'll be able to trust you anymore. But I'm not leaving. I'm going to stay for Isaac and Emma." I heard my aunt say. I could hear the excitement in my uncle's voice when he said "Thank you so much, I'm so sorry, I'll do anything to get us back to the way we were." I smiled then decided that I should leave. I walked outside, put my earphones on and turned my iPod on before I started running. 

I ran a mile when I started to get the feeling I was being followed. I stopped and leaned up against a car as if to catch my breath to see what was behind me without being conspicuous about it. I looked in the side mirror and saw someone other their hood up so I couldn't are their face. I decided to start back towards the house to see if he would follow. I turned after a few minutes to see if he was still there and, sadly, he was. I quickened my pace into a sprint getting slightly scared. I knew I could take the person but I didnt want it to have to come to that. I turned around again and he was closer than before. I ran as fast as I could but I could hear the persons feet on the pavement getting louder by the second. I knew I couldn't outrun them so I decided, why waste my energy? I slowed down until I knew the person was close before I stopped. I then turned around quickly and landed a kick in their side. The person fell onto the pavement and his goodies fell off his head. I stared at him wide eyed and said "Kolby!?" He gave me a sheepish smile that turned into a grimace when he tried to get up. "Yeah sorry I didn't mean to scare you I just wanted to make sure you didn't get hurt but now I can see that u can take care of yourself completely." he told me. I was contemplating on whether I should be happy because he was trying to help or mad because he thought I couldn't take care of myself before. I decided neither and said "Well I hope you've learned your lesson about trying to stalk me." I held my hand out for him and he took it and got up while he said "Yeah I know I'll have the biggest bruise ever thanks to you." I rolled my eyes and said "Quit being a pansy and man up." then walked away. I heard him call after me and say something along the lines of "I am a man" but I had already turned the corner and couldn't hear anything else he said.
