Pretending⤴
But she'd be fine
Pretending
Things where alright
She can feel them bending
Keep it inside
All their love is pending
She can feel the bending
But she'd be fine pretending

"Dad no!"

"Kira drop it now and pack your shit! We're leaving this week and nothing you as is changing that!"

He was moving around so fast I literally had to run to catch up to him. I can see the gun at his side. He was on edge.

"Dad I know your worried about me but I dont want to move again! You can home school me I dont care! But I have friends in this city!"

"Kira I don't care! Do you think that when shit happens they'll still be your friends? You only knew them for two weeks Kira!"

He had a point. But I still had some kind of friends I can put at least a bottle of trust into.

"But dad-"

He sighed sitting in the couch with his face in his palms.

"We're leaving Tuesday. Pack please."

He said this calmly. He was done. There was no changing his mind.

I sighed and went to my room to stsrt packing.

I've been awake for a while. Its about twelve at night.

First someone dies then I almost get killed, and in return I get some other kids killed or shot.

We track danger with us eveywhere we go. Now that I think about it its no use in being normal.

I heard a knock on the door. I waited a while but my dad didnt get up. Hes probebly in a deep sleep.

I got up going down the stairs and looked through the peep hole.

I saw Elton staring down. What is he doing here? Better yet how does he know where I live?

I opened the door and I froze.

He looked up staring into my eyes. His hands where covered in blood along with a bloody knife. His clothes where drecnched in it.

He looked down inspecting the knife.

"I did it for you."

He did what for me!?

"E-Elton...what did you do?"

My voice was shaky as I stared at him. He looked up at me and smiled.

"I got rid of some of those men. They cant hurt you."

I stared at him more. I heard a groggy yawn and steps coming towards me.

Oh shit.

"I hope it makes you happy. Theres no turning back."

I slammed the door in his face and I turned quickly.
