* Chloe's POV *

Escape. Escape. Escape.

That was the only thing that kept me going.

Escape.

I haven't gotten far due to my inconvenient cripple knee. I was walking down the dark street on my way to grab my bags. I slowly worked my way to my house.

I walked in our dimly lite home. They might of realized I'm gone by now. I tried to go faster but it was rather hard.

I kept looking behind me in fear that Cherry will be there. I am so scared that if I don't leave my actions will retaliate and screw over the people I care about. That would be my luck. I come home to live with my brother and I have this crazy chick trying to mess it up! It's all her fault.

I got my stuff and walked out into the cold bitter air. I was freezing. But oh well.

I was walking in the shadows in a pitiful attempt to not be noticed. I heard footsteps and dipped into a nearby alleyway. I was in a painful crouch and was trying to see who the feet belonged to. I saw 7 boys running down the street yelling my name.

A pang of guilt ripped through me. Maybe I could go back...? No. I have to be strong! I waited until they passed. I stood up and slowly started walking again. This time I was extra cautious. I was working my way to the train tracks hoping I could catch a train to...I don't know.

Maybe I can go somewhere nice. Somewhere where I can see a million dazzling stars. Some sleepy town with woods. I've always loved the woods. I'll even get a job. Maybe even two. Maybe I can finally be happy. But I am happy here...most times.... I just-

My thoughts were cut short by more footsteps. They are relentless! Only they weren't my little gang of misfits. It was socs drunk off their asses. Stumbling through the deserted streets. They realization that I don't have anyone to protect me hit me like a ton.

I hid behind a dumpster so I wouldn't be found. I was trembling. They could kill me. Like really kill me. Maybe i should've stayed home....

Their steps stopped abruptly. I panicked. "WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY GIRLFRIEND?!?! HUH?" then I heard a slap. It echoed through my little alley.

"I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HER!!!"

"OH BS!!"

"YOU KNOW WHAT BOB! GO TO HELL!"

Then I just heard an all out fight. It was actually pretty funny because they were drunk so they were stumbling and falling. I would've laughed if I wasn't, ya know fearing for my life. But whatever.

They fought for so long. I was about to try to escape, but all the sudden everyone gasped.

"RANDY YOU JUST KILLED BOB!"

"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! I SWEAR! I CAN EXPLAIN!"

"Then explain!"

"I-I-I uh umh uh ya know um...."

"My dad is a cop I  could get you arrested!"

"T-T-t-thats not n-n-necessary!"

Oh gosh this is better than TV! OH MY GOD THEY KILLED SOMEONE! HOW THE-

"Just leave the body! They will blame some greaser for it!"

I heard a chorus of "yeahs" and then car doors slam. They sped off in the other direction. Wow they kill one of their own and act like nothing happened. Some greaser is going to be blamed for all this! And I don't doubt for a minute that a greaser won't  be blamed. We always have the bad rep.

It's not our fault that we don't have an abundant amount of money. We didn't choose this life. We were thrust into it. It's  just like how they didn't choose to be rich. It was a lucky life to live, but still  they didn't choose it.

Once I knew I was safe I stepped out into the glow of the street lamp. As soon as I saw his Bob's body I wanted to throw up. He wAS DEAD.

He was so young. He didn't look older than 18. He had his whole life ahead of him! He would never have to the chance to get married or have a career or grow old with someone. He lost his life and they just left him!

How could they do something like that to him?! I don't care how horrible he is-was he still didn't deserve to die.

Or did he?
