Hidden

Chapter 3

BANG!

I wake up, screaming. I get out of my bed immediately. I don't know what's happening.

Gun shots.

I scramble to my parents tent, hearing my mothers screams. She started screaming "PLEASE! PLEASE! NO!" Over and over again. I open my eyes wide.

"No.." I whisper. "No!"

BANG!

I scream, opening the tent. A man in black is turned around. Blood pours out of my mothers head and my fathers chest.

I scream again, getting the mans attention. He turns. He has a hockey mask on, and he has guns.

"Hello, precious...." He smirks. "Time to say bye bye."

EARLIER THAT DAY

I quickly change into a pink crop top and jean shorts. I brush my now dry brown, curly hair and apply some make-up.

I throw on my flip flops and run towards the beach. I check my phone. 7:55.

I keep running. I finally reach to he beach, seeing Matt turned the other way.

"Aye! Matt!" I yell, getting his attention. "Where we goin?"

He smiles. "Hi." He reaches for my hand. I take it, holding it.

I smile, loving how our hands fit perfectly together. I walk with him through the woods for about 3 minutes. He covers my eyes.

I smiled, giggling. He ducks me under branches and around bushes, finally, he stops.

"Ok..HERE!" He says, smiling. I gape in awe, looking at the most beautiful place I've ever seen.

"Oh Matt.." I gasp. "It's beautiful!"

I run to the tree, climbing it instantly. I reached the top, Matt right behind me.

We stood up and got a beautiful view of the ocean. I gasped again, smiling excitedly.

"Matt!" I giggled. "Oh my gosh.."

He lifted up my chin, staring at me. "I'm in love with you, Destiny..." He whispered.

I stared at him is disbelief. I've never had a boyfriend.

"Matt." I began.

He wrapped his arms around me, pressing his lips to mine. I smiled, pulling away.

"Destiny Ross, will you be my girlfriend?"
