unlost souls

at suns first rays

It was pretty simple getting out of the house. My parents were occupied with arguing and pressumed I was asleep, allowing me to escape through my bedroom window. This wasen't like me at all. I was a good, sensible girl but Lynette gave me this... adrenaline. I ran quickly in the dark of the night, cool wind blowing my face, my hair going wild. A figure sat at the bench at the park, smoke coming from the ciggarette they were holding.
"Took you long enough" the figure said, looking me up and down.
"It was a long walk" I said, my only logical excuse.
"Let's go birdie, you have to direct me to the hell whore's house" Lynette grinned, grabbing my arm and pulling me towards her car.
"Wait who's house?" I said, my face screwed up with confusion.
"Tammy's house, dimwit" she lightly punched my shoulder.
"O-Oh" I stammered.
The car ride didn't take long although, I wish it did. My stomach twisted and turned. It did make me feel better that Lyn was here with me, she made me feel calm. Tammy's house was a large house, in the same neighbourhood as mine. It had sandstone walls and brick roof with large pillars plus a feature fountain.
"Take this" Lynette threw something at me. I caught it, observing the can.
"Spray paint?!" I looked at her like a madwoman.
"And toilet paper" she grinned marvellously at me.
"What if we get caught?" I said anxiously.
"We won't" she looked at me reassuringly.
Lynette threw toilet paper onto the tree and pillars, poisoned the fountain water with spray paint as well at the grand windows. I only put toilet paper across the lawn which was in fact a big deal for me. A light turned on from upstairs.
"Let's get out of here" Lynette smiled that damn smile, grasping onto my hand.
We drove to the top of the hill that overlooked the town and sat on top of her car, watching the stars look down at us. It was peaceful and serene, a sense of home filled me.
"That was wild" I was astonished by the havoc we had left Tammy. Lynette didn't respond, she seemed awfully quiet.
"You ok?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm more than ok! I just can't believe I'm here, happy. Not something I know a lot about" she said monotone.
"Tell me about yourself, I mean, I don't know a lot about your family" I said, trying to make the situation better.
"Well for starters, I grew up with alcoholic parents who were verbally abusive towards me. Child Protection Services took me away to a new family when I was 8. I was told it was my fault for the way my they were. My fault they spent money on alcohol. According to them at least"
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't kno-"
"Don't apologise, it's stupid and in the past. This is now" Lyn smiled at me. I smiled back and laid down. She laid down next to me.
"What do you think they would say if they could talk?" I asked, staring at the stars
"What. A. Hellhole" she smirked. I giggled and placed my hand on top of hers. We stayed that way for a while, letting the breeze and stars whisper in our ear.
