Left for dead

Part 1:Running away from home

Alex:

I grab my backpack and shove a few clothes in it as fast as I can before he comes home.Im pacing down my hallways with my hands behind my head wondering if Im even going to go through with this.I scrunch as many notes as I can and grab my passport from my bed.

The door flings open abruptly breaking the hinges and she tightens her grip on my hands taking my backpack from my grasp.
"You,you can't leave!Please don't leave!DONT LEAVE!"She begged holding me tighter."Come with me."I yelled.I watched as her tears fell down her angelic cheeks and I wiped them away gently from her face.

I break out of her grasp and struggle to look back as I open the door crying .Shes screaming and cursing at me telling me "DONT GO."I don't ever plan on coming back here to this crappy town.I can't pretend everything's okay when it isn't.I can't be here.

Im counting how much money I have and I realise I was only able to grab £700.I was waiting at the train station for 2 hours and kept looking at my phone checking the time getting impatient.I could hear a familiar voice behind me and someone arms wrap around me."James" I say with a huge smile it felt nice to be in his warm arms again.He pulls me closer to him holding me tighter telling me he's sorry for being late.

We get to the airport and I squeeze his hand tighter "Are we really going to do this? Runaway."He gives me a reassuring smile which put all my worries at rest"It's to late to back out now." He was right how was I going to explain to my alcoholic dad that I had stolen all his money.Maybe if I went home now he wouldn't notice the money missing and I'd be able to put it back or he could be home right now and beat me with his alcohol flask the second I get home it wouldn't be the first time.We were next in line so I started rummaging through my backpack looking for the boarding passes. "I had it in here. I swear I put it here."My breathing felt heavier and my hands were shaking uncontrollably. I looked up at James who pulled out the plane tickets from my bag and I let a sigh of relief and finally my heart beat was steady ."Im going to buy a few sweets for the plane journey I'll be back In a bit"The only thing left now was walking through the door.

That was when everything changed.I felt this tingling sensation warning me not to move further but I didn't listen and instead had to deal with the consequences which were to come.It was in that moment which I relised that he was not coming back.

That was the last time anyone saw me alive.
