Don't Say Goodbye

Screams erupt from the small crowd outside. I drop the tray of appetizers, race to the window and peer cautiously through the heavy curtains, dreading the sight I knew I was about to behold. My worst nightmare. The nightmare only days ago I could never have imagined would be mine. A hand grabs my arm and yanks me back.
"Mom! It's happening!"
"I know Emma. Come with me." She says calmly, pulling me towards the back door. "Give me your shirt."
"What? Mom! We're about to die!"
"Not if you give me that damn shirt, Emma!"
Shocked, I pull off my bright yellow blouse and hand it to her. My mom never swears.
She responds only by taking off her own black v-neck and throwing it at me as she puts on my shirt.
"OK, now I'll distract them. You run."
Suddenly, I understand. I look into her strong and seemingly fearless eyes as mine well up with tears. I know what she plans to do. "Mom...." I reach to embrace her, but she slaps my arms away.
"Don't say goodbye, Emma. I'll fid you when its safe. Now go!"

She pushes me towards the door. "GO!"

Hey guys! It's DreamAuthor10, or liamlover10 as I used to be. This is a brand new story that I haven't written much of, so please be patient as I may only post one chapter a week. I hope everyone likes this one! If you're into action and romance, this story should satisfy you. And if now, go check out my other story "Chased"! Its one of my favorites :)

If you're looking for a story where a young teenager becomes a hero, saves the day, and finds perfect love, I would suggest not reading this story. I'm aiming for something a bit more realistic than that in Don't Say Goodbye.
