You Make It Easy

Nine

"Winterlyn" my dad said in an angry voice. "Dad call me winter, I know your middle name is Lynn but please just call me winter. I know you are mad I'm sorry I just wanted to get away for a while." "You think that just because you are almost 18 that you can just snap your fingers and be an adult and do what you want? It doesn't work like that. You could have got hurt or killed. That boy is nothing but trouble. You are coming with me and you will never see him again." My dad turned to walk away like I could just forget the fact that Luke is hurt really bad.

I was just getting to know Luke. He seemed pretty cool to me. We had a bit in common. I didn't want to just leave him. I am still wondering how my dad got here so fast we are hours from home...... Unless he was following me. Wait, no if he was following why didn't he help when we wrecked? Maybe he lost his way but was near? Or maybe I'm just stupid and over thinking this whole situation. Either way I was standing up to my dad for once.

"No" "excuse me?" "No I'm not going home." "You don't have much of a choice here winterlyn." "ITS WINTER AND IM STAYING UNTIL I KNOW HE IS OKAY." "I will call the cops and they will make you come. You are 17. Now we are leaving" he turned once more to walk away. As he took his first step I ran. "SOMEONE CATCH HER!!" I heard my dad calling from a distance as I ran up the stairwell to the er room. I turned corners through pale walls and winding halls. The moaning of patients and squeaks of the carts filled the cool air that occupied the space around my own. I held my breath passing the rooms looking in each for a familiar face. Each corner became less and less colorful. "Can you tell me where Luke is?" "I'm sorry ma'am he checked out about an hour ago." "ARE YOU SERIOUS?" "Yes, he woke up with only a few cuts and bruises." The ladies voice was soft and well mannered not much like the echo of my dad's coming from the never ending halls of this building of death and pain. "He left a not for a girl named winter. Is that you?" "Yes oh my god what does it say."

'Winter, find me at the Walmart a few blocks away. I saw your dad looking for you so I ran. I sent this note for you. Please hurry.'

"When did he send this?" I asked. "About 30 minutes ago." "Thank you so much." I looked around to find a place to sneak and to my advantage there was an empty elevator to the right of me. I jumped in and pressed the number 1. Right before the door closed I told the woman. 'Tell no one I was here' she just nodded and pushed some buttons on her phone.

I got outside of the hospital and looked around. I walked to the edge of the building and saw a big Walmart sign. "Wow, it's cold" I heard a voice say behind me. I froze. It was the voice that had become more and more familiar. "I thought you couldn't pull this off. You know running from your dad and finding me." Luke said. He smiled. Oh wow that smile. "LUKE OH MY GOD I THOUGHT YOU WERE HURT. I HAD TO CARRY YOU FROM THE WRECK WITH A HURT ARM. YOU THINK I COULDNT PULL IT OFF WOW OKAY I HAVE DONE A LOT TONIGHT." "Woah woah be quiet. I got a car. Come on we are leaving." "Where are we going?" I looked at him like he was stupid. "Home."
