station? It seems too small to be one.” That earns me another smirk, “well, not many people use cars since the school and stores aren’t far away. So we don’t need a large gas station.”
I processed this, that’s why I haven’t seen many cars; wow I could not survive walking everywhere. I nod my head and put the helmet back on. As he started the bike I started questioning the life I would life here. This is great I’m going to have to walk everywhere, even in the rain! “Where are we going now? Its looks like it is going to rain.” I hear a sigh and wonder what I said that would upset him. Then as I look up at the sky a large drop of rain lands on my helmet. Great, just great. I hate the rain, this is sooo not fair.
“Hurry, we are going to get soaked!” I screamed into his ear, hoping he would do as I asked. But instead I heard laughter, throaty laughter that was kind of attractive, but still was scary. “Why are you laughing? We are going to get soaked, and you are just sitting there. Hurry up, let’s go before it rains even harder!” He turns off the bike, takes off his helmet, and turns around.
“Relax you aren’t going to get sick, it’s only a few drops.” And with those words our world shook with thunder. It roared like hundreds of lions surrounding us, vibrating my bones. Rain started pouring, dumping on us in buckets, while the madman next to me continued his laughter.
I screamed with frustration, just wanting to be home with my mother and father. In the front room by the crackling fire place enjoying hot coco, eating cake, while my grandma chatted about a recent book she was reading. I wouldn’t be standing out in the rain crying my eyes out as a guy I just barely laughs his head off. I started running in the direction we had came from, hoping I would find the way to my grandmothers. I hear David yell my name but I don’t stop all the pain from losing my parents flooded into me keeping me running. I refused to stop; I just wanted to escape the pain and loneliness that was surrounding me.
I ran faster and harder than I had in my entire life. I couldn’t stop, I wouldn’t. I hear the roar of an engine, I needed to escape it. I notice a trail leading into the woods, and dart towards it in the false hope of escaping my follower. I darted past blackberry bushes that ripped into my arms and legs flaying my skin as I ran. Soon I reached a huge tree towering over the others, I skid to a stop. As I clutch my stomach fighting a major cramp I slid to the ground. Leaning against the tree catching my breath, I started feeling better the running had helped clear my mind. It always had, I feel my eyes smarting and wait for tears, but none come.
I sat against the tree for I don’t know how long, it seemed to last years, but I knew that wouldn’t be possible. I press back against the tree wondering if someone was looking for me. My eyelids felt droopy and my body was tired from my run. As my eyes slowly closed I wondered what was going to happen to me. Soon I was in a deep blissful sleep unaware and uncaring of what was happening around me.
Chapter Three

I woke up in my bed, not at my home though, in my room at my grandmas. I had been hoping everything was a bad dream, a terrible awful nightmare. But no, the soreness and pain in my legs told me everything had happened. I was stuck here on a tiny reservation with my grandma (who isn’t that bad), and people I don’t even really know. I head down the hall smelling my grandmother’s famous blueberry pancakes. As I take in the heavenly scent of warm vanilla, sweet blueberries, and hot coco I smile. She had remembered my favorite breakfast; I sit down “good morning grandma.”
She looks up from flipping the pancakes and gives me a look of concern. When she starts to walk over I look down towards my feet. “Sweetie are you ok, cold, hot, sweaty?” She put one of her hands across my forehead to take my temperature. I look up with confusion written across my face, “how did you find me, I was in the woods.”
She smiles and looks out the window, “I didn’t Hon, Daniel brought you home, you were soaked, and he had wrapped his jacket around you to keep you warm.” I couldn’t believe my ears, the fact I ran was because he was scaring and laughing at me. Here he was taking the credit for saving me! “He also told me the reason you ran was because he had been rude and insensitive towards you, and let you stand in the rain. Which was probably why you ran, he also said he understands if you don’t forgive him.”
Why the stupid inconsiderate jerk! He got my grandma on his side, now I have to accept his apology. This is totally not fair, “but grandma, he doesn’t deserve my apology he was the one who caused my breakdown.” As she looked at me sternly and that almost shut me up “but it’s true.” With that I was done, with my statement, finished my breakfast and left. Leaving my grandma in the kitchen I went up to my room to get ready. As I walk down the hall I hear the doorbell ring along with Natalie, Jess, and Kat’s voices.
I run to my room hoping to be presentable before they made it to my room, I rush to my dresser grabbing and throwing on clothes. They walk in when I’m brushing my hair, as soon as they see me they rush over blurting out questions about my tour around the reservation. “Guys take deep breaths and relax your giving me a headache. Ok when the party ended I went into my room to change when my grandma comes into my room……..So yeah, that’s what happened and why I have to forgive and to thank him against my will.”
“Awww Hon, I am soo sorry, we just thought of him as another pretty face. Now he is a creep, I mean letting you stand out in the rain, terrible.” Natalie told me shaking her head. I laughed at they’re sympathy and opened my mouth to tell her something when Kat butted in. “Well at least your grandma knew that Taylor sprayed you on purpose, that’s a good thing.” She blurts out grinning her head off, “yeah that’s a good thing and also its good you weren’t wearing white, that would’ve been even worse.” Of course Jessica had to put in her input, but who is complaining, not me. “Great Jess you had to mention that, I know your trying to make her feel better. But she already knows it could’ve been worse.” Natalie scolded, Jess looked at me and her mouth formed a small o.
“Oops, I’m sorry Nessa I didn’t mean to bring it up.” I let out a long sigh “its okay it doesn’t matter, so what do you guys want to do now that you are here?” We all pause wondering what was next since I had explained everything to them, I wonder if they know where the tree is, I could ask. “Hey I have a question, you know the tree I told you about, do you know where it is?” Jess looked at Kat who looked at Natalie, exchanging glances. I look face to face and see mixed emotions of fear, anger and sadness. “Ummm…. Is there something I should know?” With that they’re heads popped up, and looked at me in shock.
“Oh no, it’s nothing, ha-ha we’re joking, got you. But anyways the forest is creepy, why would anyone want to go in there?” I could tell they were lying, I knew there was something they were not telling me, but what? What was so important or so secret that I couldn’t know. I knew then what I had to do, I was going to find out the secret in the woods, and see if it has anything to do with my parent’s disappearance. Even if it was the last thing I did!
“So ladies what do you want to do then, I don’t start your school until Monday.” They look at each other again exchanging looks but this time looks of excitement. I wait for their verdict, but as they start smiling I start to feel worried, wishing I could read minds. But like everyone else in this world I can’t. As Kat starts bouncing in excitement, my feelings of worry soar. “What are you guys talking about, what are we going to do?”
With that they scream “SHOPPING!!!” and start bouncing up and down giggling with happiness. I look at them wondering what was so amazing about shopping, I personally found it boring and really wasn’t in the mood. But looking at their faces I couldn’t help but smile, and gave in to their will.
“Fine, but I have veto power.” I sit on my bed and reach down to get my shoes. But they weren’t there, what the heck where are they, hmmm when was I wearing them last . . . oh yeah. .when I was with Daniel . . . great just great. “So how are we going to get there?” As we pick up our stuff I sneak a look out the window, and no car. I realized we were going to end up walking, so I shouldn’t wear my high heels. So I ran to my closet and started digging around for other shoes. I feel leather and pull out my cowboy boots. I put them reluctantly and follow the girls out the door. When we get outside my fears are confirmed . . . no car. “Sooo I’m guessing we are walking.”

Chapter Four

I stumble through the door hands full of shopping bags with Natalie, Jess, and Kat right behind me. My grandma comes out of the living room with a guilty look on her face and my mind instantly goes to
