Meeting half way

chapter nineteen: Shorter than a book.

Gwen

Its decided I'm taking the long route...... or should I take the river way. Shit, Gwen just pick already and stop stalling!

As usual, I'v been arguing with myself about something stupid.

I'm suppose to be meeting up with Finn and Gabe at my favourite restaurant, which was my idea and I'm already five minutes late. The truth is, I am scared and I don't want to be, but I am. I've been scared my whole life, that's why I stick with the books and the fictional characters. Its easier living through a book. I know no matter what, everything will end, good or bad, than after that I can start another one. I'm tempted to call Gabe and tell him I'm sick or I can't make it. Or that I have to much homework.

All I want to do is read.

Now I'm starting to regret it. But I need this, I can read later. Right?Ok I'll take the river way, I grab my keys and yell bye to my mom upstairs. As I'm about to reach the door I stop and stand in front of the full length mirror leaning up against the wall. I look my self up and down before faking a smile and sighing. My army green cargo pants are awkwardly bunched up at my knees, my flowy black tank top falls against my small torso, and my black Dr.martens are tied tight around my shins. I run my hand through my wavy hair before slipping on my jean jacket and heading out the door.

I hop into my moms black Subaru and pull out of the long drive way. The sky is slowly getting dark and the dark silhouette of trees lean over the road as I drive. The lights from the houses shimmer in the dusk air and I look out my window, looking to the other side I see the river. Fast moving and beautiful, I watch the river for a while focusing on the way the water runs over the rocks and slides between the the fallen trees that rush against the current. I blink back up towards the road. The speed of the bright headlights scatters my vision feeling a quick painful impact all over my body. Then everything blacks out.

Ok, I now this took WAY to long and I'm sorry. I have been really busy the past month and just could not edit at all. I know this chapter is really short but I will update tomorrow and it will be longer. Sorry for the cliff hanger.

P.s I miss you Toronto friends!!!!

thanks for reading-
