We both laughed. It felt good to laugh. We sat in silence for a moment before I spoke " who are you?" I asked.
I realized I didn't even know his name. A car horn honked loudly from the parking lot. "That's my cue" he said.
"Wait you didn't answer my question"
"I'm a broken boy looking for a broken girl. That way maybe we can heal each other" he says running off.
"Wait will I see you again?"
"Maybe" is all he says and he disappears
"Allison, run!" Mom yelled.
Mom and I ran out of the car doors and ran as fast as we could. I found a water fountain.
"Mom, water." I said.
Mom replied, "We have no time."
Mom's eyes drifted over to an abandoned house. This might be for shelter. Mom and I ran to that house. As soon as we arrived Mom collapsed. I leaned down. She had my face cupped in her hands.
I fell asleep suddenly and slowly.
12 hours later...
A loud boom woke me up like an alarm clock.
I saw Mom covered in blood.
"Mom," I cried, "run."
"I love you, Allison." She mumbled to me, cupping my face in her hands.
"Mom! Run!" I yelled.
Once she got up, she collapsed again. Someone killed her. Someone killed her.
Allison Mitchell saw her mother die right in front of her. Now, her father is abusive and makes her do all the cooking and cleaning. She meets this boy, Joe, in class. Joe changes her life, but Allison has to keep her life a secret. She is broken and she knows that. She will be scarred forever.
