Changing My Mind

      I woke up the next morning with a horrible thought in my head. The police didn't get my dad, what if when I go with Seth back to Iowa he's there. I groaned and rolled over. It was to early to be worrying about this kind of stuff.

      I got out of bed and was about to walk out of my room when I heard two people whispering.

      "Dean, I'm not sure if she's gonna be OK to come with me to Iowa."

      "I don't know either Seth, but its all up to her, we can't just tell her she has to do this or that."

      "What if she starts to hurt herself again, because of the memories? What do I do then? My parents are so judge mental. I've told them about Alisa and that told me I was crazy. I really don't know what to do."

      I was kind of surprised at this. Seth's parents where really nice to me when I was younger and also tried to help me a lot. Maybe when I ran away my parents started talking bad about me or something. I walked out of my room and stood in the hall looking at Dean and Seth.

      "Then I'll just not go with you Seth."

      I shrugged and started walking towards the bathroom. I just really wanted to clean up.

      "Alisa I didn't mean that in a bad way..."

      "Seth, you can't dislike someone in a good way, I'm not stupid. Its simple, if your parents don't like me then I won't go. I'll just go with Roman."

      Seth had a mix of shock and sadness written on his face. He nodded at what I said then he went to go sit on the couch. I walked into the bathroom and instantly noticed that the marks on my wrists where basically gone. That cream really did work.

      After I got out of the shower I got changed into leggings and a blue T-shirt. I went out of the bathroom and walked into the kitchen where everyone was talking. I sat down next to Dean today. Roman spoke up.

      "So Alisa I hear your changing your mind about going with Seth."

      "Well yeah, its not all about what Seth said but also about the fact that my dad's still out there and he might be there for Christmas. I just don't think I want to go there anymore."

      "OK so that's understandable, but who do you plan on going with now?"

      "I was actually hopping you Roman... Please?"

      Roman nodded while everyone was laughing at my childish begging. After we all ate I helped Dean clean the dishes.

      "So honeybee that other day when you went for a walk where did you go to see such an amazing view?"

      "I can show you, but only if we run there."

      "OK I guess, why not."

      After we where done cleaning we both left the house. We started out walking, then running. My feet brought me to the same willow tree that I sat in the other day. Dean looked up at the tree confused, then at me.

      "How did you see that amazing view from down here? Where you wearing 12 inch heels or something?"

      "Nope, you gotta go up if you wanna see the view."

      I started to climb up the tree, turning back halfway up to see Dean still standing on the grass. I waved my hind for him to come follow me, and he did. When we both got to the top we sat there for what seemed like forever until I got a taxt from an anonymous number.

---~Wouldn't it be ashamed if you fell out of the tree.

      Oh crap. I showed the text to Dean and we both got down quickly. We started to run back to the hotel as fast as we could. When we got to our front door I started laughing. Something about running from people like that reminded me about when I was younger and I would snatch things put of peoples hands and feel like the smartest person ever.
