  Chapter 9 a Set Back

  My eyes started to open up and I saw some random girls around the bed where I was sleeping.

  "Hello, are you okay?" she asked me again.

  "I'm fine, I think," I said back to her.

  "Well you have been sleeping for three days," she told me.

  "Why did you save me back there?" I asked her.

  "I heard someone shout out that they needed help so I came to save who it was. Then I heard the exposing and I started to run," she told me.

  "Well thanks, but I only have one friend left and I need to find her," I went to get up and I couldn't because I was in handcuffs and I looked back over to the lady.

  "Unhand cuff me, woman," I demanded to her.

  "I am sorry we just put those on to make sure you weren't going to turn on us," she said.

  "Well I am not so let me leave,"

  "You are in no condition to leave," she told me.

  "I don't care I need to find her," I told them

  "She must be important then?" someone else asked me. This person seemed to be a girl.

  "Yes, and I will not stop until I find her," I said. As I looked in the crowd I saw Dillon's face and I got up.

  "You can't be alive I killed you," I said to him. He looked away and vanished into the crowd of people.

  "Hey, come back here," I told Dillon. The lady looked at me as if I was crazy.

  "Who are you talking to?" she asked me.

  "The man in the back of the room his name is Dillon," I said to her.

  "There is no man in the crowd sir," she reinsured to me.

  "No, he was just there," I told her.

  "Okay, just get some rest and we will talk tomorrow," she told me.

  "No! I have been sleeping for three days I must find her," I told the crowd of girls.

  "Who are you trying to find?"

  "I need to find April, she was one of the others with me during the car accident," I told the girls. They all looked around and the leader of them told them to leave me alone. She then informed me that I was now in Highlands and I was far from Cheswick. After five minutes of sitting in silence, I began to speak again.

  "Do you have a car I could take?" I asked her

  "Well the condition you are in you shouldn't go anywhere," she said.

  "Trust me I will be fine just give me the keys," I responded to her.

  "I hope you are okay, you lost a lot of blood," she reminded me.

  "Yeah, I will be okay," as I said okay I reached for the blankets to pull them off and she helped me off the bed and toward the door.

  "I want to thank you for taking me in the world needs more people like you," I told her.

  "You are welcome," she said back to me.

  I opened the door and covered my face from the bright sun. The air smelled a little better than it did in Springdale. The lady threw me the keys and I walked over to the first car and put my stuff in the back and got in the driver seat and drove away from the place. While driving down the road I started to realize I had no idea where I was. So I continued down the street until I came to an intersection. I began to look left and right then back to my left and I saw Dillon running toward the car so I got out and pulled out my gun and began to shoot at him until he disappeared then I slowly walked where I saw him last and nothing was there. I backed up and got into the car and drove up the street until I saw him again laying on the sidewalk until I shook my head and it became a dead woman lying on the side of the road with her legs cut off and a puddle of blood next to her. I am starting to lose it I thought to myself as I stopped the car and pushed my hair back. I looked down at the gun in the passenger seat and I grabbed it and put it to my head but as much as I wanted to pull the trigger I couldn't. When I was thinking about ending it all I remembered why I left that place. April's face appeared in my head and I lowered the gun. Stepping on the gas I continued to move on.

  The sun began to fall as I was driving I started to realize that I was running out of gas and I was only near the mall. So I continued and when the car ran out of gas I was at the mall entrance.
