running from the past

chapter 4

flashback

I am twelve years old ,we have been living in florida for about six months .I went to another new school and got picked on for how tall and skinny i am.But i made a couple of friends who are always there for me jake and nicole they are amazing i dont know what i would do without them.

I live three houses away from nicole and i live six from jake .Jake gets picked on for having more girl friends than guy friend but it is mostly because he is small and wears glasses.Also because he is the smartest kid in out sixth grade class.Nicole is just well herself she is normal in height and weight she does dance but keeps quiet when it comes to school.Sometimes we will stay over at each others houses and not go to bed till 2 am .My mom always questioned why i was friends with them if they were different compared to me .

One day when i was walking home from school with nicole and jake a black car was following us.We got scared so we started to run to who evers house was closest which was jakes.As soon as we ran to jakes yard the car stopped infront of his house and stayed there.We ran as fast as we could into jakes house then up to his room.He asked if we knew anyone that has a black car.We all replyed with a no.Things started to get freaker there was a banging on the door but thankfully jake locked it .It was non stop until jakes mom opened the door and started yelling at the man.His vocie sounded so fimilar but i could not make it out.Jakes mom then told him that no one could help him and he left.

Later that night after we ate dinner at jakes house me and nicole decided that we would walk home .So we gathered up our stuff then headed out to across the street.As soon as we got across the black car started following us again.Nicole said she was going to head straight home rather than come over to my house.She ran inside then it was only we .I ran as fast as i could to get away from the person in the car.

About a week later
I was walking home from my new friend kates house when the car started to follow me again.I ran all the way home.After a while there was a pounding at the door .My moms friend mary answered .It was the same guy from last week he asked if i was home and if my mom and siblings were home.She said that she could not say because she did not know who he was.He then demanded where we were .She started to close the door when he started screaming.My mom soon came home and her and the man were arguing then i remembered who the guy was it was my dad .I crawled under the bed and cryed myself to sleep.

A few weeks later my siblings mom and i moved away so my dad could not find us.I actual though that we could have started over.I thought that we might actual have a real home for once.I ran to nicoles house to tell her the news she said that we could write all the time and if i ever need a place to stay let her know she will make room.We wrote ever day but it was hard sometimes when we had to move again nicole never knew where to send my letters so i told her that i would always send a letter whenever i am in a new city.Me and Jake remained friends even though we did not talk much.
