I wake up on Friday. Our 'friendship anniversary', yippee. "Hey Ally get up" I yell to my niece, "ok" she yelled back. She got up? She actually got up? Maybe she is just trying to help me out and keep me from getting stressed. We walk. No Stan, no car, just walking.
We walked in silence but not an awkward one just silence, after school I do the same as yesterday, without Stan...
I was at work (it is the next day) and the unbelievable happens....again, Sydney Novak and her best friend Dina walk in. I get my co-worker Sam to serve them her full name is Samantha.
As I walk past them to serve someone else I hear them talking about Stan... "we had sex" Syd whispers, they WHAT?!?!? I ask another co-worker called Lizzie to cover my shift, and I go to the bathroom and get dressed from my uniform into my normal clothes, then I quickly leave. I didn't know where I was going, it wasn't home it wasn't Stans,no, it was the woods.
I always came here to think. To run. That's what I did. I ran, through the woods, onto the hills, past the corn fields. I just ran. I finally stopped about 3 hours of running later, I was out of town... but I had to go back, for Ally. It was nightfall before I got back. Leaving Ally by herself "Hey Ally I'm home" I say as she comes running down stairs "where were you? Work?" She asks "no,no I wasn't working I went running" she gave me a puzzled look "for 3 hours?" "Yep" "how far did you get?" I look down at her "I.. I ran out of town"
"That's really far go to sleep I got food at Olivia's house" I gave her a weak smile and went up to bed. We take care of each other, and I wouldn't have it any other way...
