.::Chapter.1::The.Way.It.Is.::.

So okay, it'll be okay. That's what I thought in my mind over and over again until my face turned blue. I was in a car, a mysterious car, not even my own. This wasn't how I planned my first day of summer. Let me tell you the story of how it all started.
I was walking home from school with my best friends, Eliza and Audrey and Riley. Riley is my really the only guy I hang out with; all the other guys I just talk to in school and then over the summer it's like, "Have a great life...see you next year." The thing is, everyone likes Riley. He says he's single because he hasn't found the girl he was looking for.
But I've always said that he was ugly. Flat out lie. I've liked him since the day we became friends. By the way, Eliza and Audrey both live next to each other, about 2 blocks away from me and Riley's house.
I was about to tell him that I liked him, and usually that wouldn't happen. I'm a chicken, so this was rare. But then the strangest thing happened. Riley looked at me, and was about to say something, when this guy in a black mask in a black mercedes came up, and smacked Riley's head and my head with a metal bat. Next thing I knew, I was in this black mercedes, totally out of state, Riley completely aware of his surroundings. He was looking outside, a tear on his cheek. I sat up, and started to talk, but then Riley put his hand on my mouth. Quiet time.
So I got out my cell, phone, tapping his shoulder and signaling him to do the same. We both turned our cells on silent.

Linly: Wat hpnd??
Riley: IDK. I thnk we got hit in the head w/ a bat.
Linly: No wondr my head hurts sooo bad.
Riley. This dude is crz.
Linly: Nk.
Riley: ??
Linly: Nk- no kidding. U nvr hrd tht 1?
Riley: Nah.
Linly: anywayz, we need 2 figure out a way 2 escape.
Riley: Nk. lol. wat 2 do...wat 2 do...

Chapter.2:: Plan.

I lie in the backseat, looking out the window. I was trying to think of plans to get away from this creep, but I was out of luck. Besides, how could a 13 year old take on a what seems like a 40 year old in a black ski mask with a metal bat???
I looked down at my phone. New message from Riley.

Riley: Plan tym.
Linly: IK I've been sitting here thinkin 4 d lst 3 min.
Riley: i m burnt out on ideas.

Chapter.3::The Escape

I stared at my phone, waiting for a response. I was wondering if Eliza was in trouble or had a boy problem. Probably choice B.

Eliza: there is some1 in my house!
Linly: then call 911. -gasp- 911!!!
Eliza: good idea...but y did u gasp??
Linly: o nothin really, just tht some guy w/ a ski mask hit me and Rileys head w/ a metal bat. & that we are ttly out of CO, but nothin really.
Eliza: Nothin really? r u serious?? call 911!
Linly: we cnt. riley said tht if we tlk we cood get hurt even more.
Eliza: try txtin 911.
Linly: well ill try tlk 2 u ltr.
Eliza: good luck
Linly: u 2

Linly: Riley!
Riley: wat
Linly: eliza gave me a great idea.
Riley: wat iz it then
Linly: im gonna try txtin 911
Riley: well, idk if itll work so much.
Linly: nvr hurt 2 try.
Riley: true. good luck.
Linly: thx ill need it.

Linly: Help i need help!!

I sat there for 5 minutes, then a text came.

We're sorry, but your text message could not get through. Try again, or try a different number. Have a nice day, Sprint

I started 2 get really sad. We couldn't talk, or else I would've called 911. But it's too dangerous. I guess that Riley saw the sad look on my face. He sent me a text message.

Riley: I'm guessin it ddnt work, huh?
Linly: Congrats. It ddnt. wat r we gonna do??
Riley: IDK, but I think we r stopping at a gas pump. mayb we can make a run 4 it.
Linly: & go where?
Riley: into the 7/11.
Linly: have any $?
Riley: y
Linly: im hungry and i want a slurpee.
Riley: ya i have 10 $.
Linly: yesss

The car stoppeds and the man went into the store. We pretended to be asleep, and I guess he's more airhead than he looks, because he bought it. Once he was inside, we got out of the car and headed inside. I went staright to the slurpee machine, and Riley followed. I got my favorite: Cherry Fanta. Riley got one, too, but it was Dr. Pepper.
We looked around, and headed towards the cashier. We saw the man that had kidnapped us. He was in the meat isle, trying to decide if he wanted beef jerky or beef jerky lite.
We hurried ourselves, and then we went to the magazine isle, figuring that the man wouldn't want a magazine.
I decided a whisper was okay. "Now what? And thanks for the slurpee."
"No problemo. How about we go to the cashier, and ask her if we can call 911??"
"As good as that sounds, the ski mask man is there. I think we should head out the back door and run away."
Riley agreed, and we headed out the back door, and started running.

Chapter.4::Runaway

We had been running for at least an hour, nonstop. My legs felt like jelly but I think we were far enough away from that "Creep".
There was a Wal-Mart nearby, and we decided to go in there. I sipped my Cherry Fanta slurpee exaustedly. We walked in, and headed straight to customer service. We stood in line for about 10 minutes. Finally, we got to the counter.
"May I help you?" asked the lady behind the counter. Her name tag said Jodie.
"Yes please. Um, this is hard to say, but where exactly are we? We kinda got lost and my sister here is trembling from the...um...fear. So, Jodie, could you tell us where we are?" Said Riley, a slight tremble in his voice.
"Yessiry, you are in the heart of Texas. San Antonio, to be exact. I would get home, kids, 'cause there is a hurricane a-brewin'."
"Thanks," I said. "Come on brother, let's try to find our way back home."

After we were away from the counter, I grabbed Riley's shoulders and turned himt towards me.
"Sister? Trembling from fear? Are you crazy? We don't even look alike!" I said as we walked through the cd isle.
"Well, it's a good sob story, at least."
"I can't believe we are in San Antonio!!"
"Yeah. Well, I wonder where we were before we started running."
"I guess that will stay a mystery."
We walked around the music isle, and I found a My Chemical Romance Cd. I held it up to the music sampler, and listened to Black Parade. It helped me figure things out.
So I started saying, "Riley, what if we never get back home? What if we are on our own forever? What if we get separated? What will happen? I'm scared, and I'll admit that. Now that we have time to stop and think, it makes me sad. I see images of my family: Aly, Cris, mom, dad, and Mr. Whiskers."
"Mr. Whiskers?" Riley asked.
"He's my cat, and I named him when I was 2, okay? But what will happen to us? I want to survive, Riley! I want to stay alive!" I burst out into tears. Riley reached over and wrapped his arms around me. It surprised me, because that had never happened.
He leaned over, and whispered in my ear, "Everything will be okay, Linly. Everything will be okay."

Chapter.5::Back.To.The.Start

I held on tight to Riley as I wept and wept.
I finally stopped crying and went to the clothes isle, and Riley followed. I picked out a pink and brown shirt with a scoop neck. I looked at it. Just stared at it. I didn't know what to do. So I just stared at it. I knew that since I was lost, that I knew that I probably wouldn't be able to buy anymore clothes for a while.
I set the shirt down and went to the section witht he beds and chairs. I sat down in an egg chair. But Riley wasn't there. I thought that maybe he stayed behind to listen to some cd's, or maybe went into the men's section or something. So I just sat there.
After about ten minutes had passed, I decided to get up and try to find Riley. I made my way to the men's section, but Riley wasn't there. I went to the cd section, and Riley wasn't there. I started panicking. I went to the bed section, and then what I saw stopped me in my tracks. The "creep" was standing there, walking around the isles.
I tiptoed into the section next to the bed section, which happened to be the shoe department. After that I made myself run. I ran into the baby section, and stopped. I went under some clothes wracks and bent down. I tried to see if I could see the creep. But I had something else in mind.

Linly: Riley! where r u?
Riley: Look behind you.
Linly: Okay..?

I turned around and Riley was standing right there. I whispered: "Holy Moly!! Don't scare me like that!"
His cheek was bleeding.
I whispered, "What happened?"
He whispered back, "That creep scratched me. Thank goodness he is a slow runner. But he's gonna catch up. We have to go. NOW." He pulled my arm and we bent down as we ran. We were out the door, running again. But then I realized: Why are we running? We might as well stop and let that creep kill us. We barely have a chance. But I kept running.

[Destiny9910]

oh no had he find them?????

Chapter.6::Lost.And.Found

I'm glad the creep was a slow runner because we had a pretty good lead on him. He wasn't all that scary, except that he had gone to his car to retrieve his signature metal bat. I guess that he is an airhead, because I was wondering why he didn't just use his car to chase us. But I'm glad he was an airhead.
We kept running for about ten minutes, and we didn't see him at all in the distance. So we found an alley in some deserted neighborhood (at least, I think it was deserted), and just sat down against a wall with graffite, breathing hard. I turned towards Riley, and he was breathing hard, sweat running down his forhead. I leaned over and hugged him tight. I didn't car if he was dripping with sweat, all I cared about was that I had someone to hold onto. He didn't care if I hugged him; I bet he was happy to have someone to hold onto, too.
I pulled away and talked softly, "Do you think we are far away from him?"
He answered in a whisper, "Yeah, I think so. He could be anywhere now. He could be hiding behind this wall. I think we should run a little further. Find a nice person who could take care of us until that creep can be arrested and our parents can pick us up."
"That ounds like a good idea." Riley got up slowly, and offered his hand. I took it, and he helped me up. "Let's go." And we were running again.

***
We ran and ran, for what seeed like hours. I guess we did run for hours, because the time we stopped, it was getting dark. We had stopped in a small town, called the Woodlands. A lone man passed us by, and I asked him, "how far are we from Colorado?" He answered, "You are in the Woodlands, lad, about an hour from the ocean." My jaw dropped. This guy was familiar. He pulled a bat from his back, and got ready to swing.

Chapter.7::Maybe.We'll.Go.Home

I grabbed Riley in surprise, and pulled us down as he swung. He missed us by an inch at least. I stood up and did what most teenage kids would not do: I punched him in the face. I don't think it was that hard, but he grimaced. He let go of the bat, and I grabbed it, and stood back. Riley stood right beside me.
"Why do you want to hurt us?!" I yelled. I had tears rolling down my cheeks.
He didn't respong for about five seconds. Then he raged.
"You kids. I hate kids. They suck!!" And then he started cussing at kids and how much he hates us. I sat there in aw. I didn't know what to do. But Riley thought for me.
He grabbed the bat out of my hand. I thought he was going to slam the bat into the creep's head, but instead, he threw it down the gutter. "Listen here, bucko, we're just kids. We've never done anything wrong-" i knew that was a lie...but it sounded good. "-and will probobly never do anything. Just, leave us alone, okay? We did nothing to hurt you...well, except when Linly punched you, but...what made you think we did something to make you come after us like we were deer and you were the hunter?" Riley had a serious, sad and frightened expression on his face. I grabbed onto his arm, but he shook me off. He walked forward, and went into that guy's face. "Why would you do anything to hurt us? I could take out my phone right now, and call 911 on you. I should...but first, what's your name? Huh? Tell me or I call authorities!!" I was surprised by Riley. He had never shown this side of him.
The creep's face turned red in the moonlight. He leaned down, right at ear level, and whispered, but loud enough that I could hear his name. "Daniel Windhan," he whispered.
Riley leaned into him closer. Boy was he brave. "Listen, Daniel, leave us alone, or else we will call the police. We will be fine on our own only if you leave us alone." I heard fear in his voice. But I also heard strength and bravery. His eyes were closed tight, and tears were rolling down his cheeks.
"Fine," Daniel said, in a quiet voice. "Fine!!! I will leave you alone. But if you even think about calling the police," He was yelling, but then he lowered his voice. "I will hunt you down like a shark to blood. Don't think I'm kidding, because I'm not. Get it, wise guy?" They were glaring at each other now, and for a second I thought they were talking telepathically. But that wasn't possible. I sat down against a tree. This was overwhelming.
"Fine enough." Said Riley. They held a glare for about a minute, and then Daniel Windhan ran away in the other direction.
Once he was gone, the only thing we had left to do is sleep. We had no pillows, no blankets. We were terrified, but tired. So I leaned onto the tree, and Riley did the same. I turned towards him. "Were you serious about not calling the police?" I said it in a whisper, just in case Daniel decided to come back and haunt us for the rest of our lives. "No. I'm going to call them first thing in the morning. But for now, we sleep." He seemed to fall asleep right after he said that. And it wasn't so hard for me to fall asleep, either.

Chapter.8::Our.Journey.To.Galveston

We ran on and on for a very long time that morning. Turns out there was no service in the place we were, so we just kept running. And then more bad news: Riley's phone died. No charger. And when I tried calling 911, my phone died.
So we ran on and on. We followed a main road with a bunch of trees, guessing it was a forest. We took a break at a statue called the Sam Houston. He was the founder of the city Houston. We kept on running, until it was about noon or 1 o'clock. There was a fast food resturant, and so we decided to go in there and eat a little. We only had about 7 dollars left, so we would have to split a burger and a drink.
After we were done, we started to run again. After what seemed like 3 hours, I smelled salty air.
See, I've only been to the beach once. I loved it, and I remember the slightest smell of the ocean. I knew we were close.

***
We had run almost the whole day, and we were exausted. We went to town square in Galveston, TX. Thankfully, both of us had received a top singing voice. I received the top girl, and Riley received top boy.
So I had a crazy idea to get back home.
"Riley! I have a perfect idea. You know how we won the awards for best singer?"
"Ya...."
"And that we don't have any money?"
"Ya..." He said it with excitment.
"So, we could sing for money. Buy a box with the money left over to collect the money. So what song should we sing?"
"The only duet song I know is Everyday from High School Musical 2."
"I know that one, too. We should buy a box, I guess."
So we go to the nearest store, and we buy a box for about a dollar. We only had one dollar left, so we had to spend it wisely.

We stood on a corner, where there were a decent amount of people with purses, and sang High School Musical.

We sang for thr rest of the day, singing that song. We also met a guy with a guitar, and he taught us another song. No title, but it sounded good. We collected about 100 dollars. We decided to do this every day until we had enough money to pay for a airplane ticket.
But the best thing about this? Singing with Riley. His voice took me away, off into the clouds. Everytime, after we sang, i would give him a hug and tell him how beautiful his voice was.

Chapter.9::Going.Back

It wasn't so hard to tell that Riley liked me. Seriously, after our last performance of the night, we had raised like, 200 dollars. 200 more and we could probably get an airline ticket to Denver.
But after we counted, Riley reached over an hugged me. "I'm really glad we are friends, Linly." I hugged him back.
We decided to find a hotel or something we could finally sleep in confort with. We found a motel called Day Inn. It only costed 50 dollars a night. We fidured we would be staying for a while in there, so we would use our 200 dollars to pay for our taxes. We would sing everyday until we had enough money to pay for our last night at the motel and get a plane ticket.
We walked into the Day Inn and went to the counter.
"May I help you kids?"
I looked at Riley and gave him a stare that told him I would do the talking. I had a good sob story coming up.
"Yes, ma'am, my brother and I desperatly need a place to sleep. We have money, and we would love to stay in your inn for a few nights."
She stared at us. "How long do you think you would be staying?"
I looked at Riley. He showed his fingers. 4.
"4 nights."
"That will be 200 dollars ma'am."
"Um, okay."
I got the bucket and gave her the cash. She took it greatfully.
"Names, please?"
"Linly Boston and Riley Boston"
"Room 110. On your left." She handed us two keys, one for each of us.
We headed to our room, greatful we finally have a place to sleep.
"I get the shower first," said Riley. He probbly wouldn't take long, so I let him.
"Well, I get it 2nd."
"No, you get it third." he said.
"Who will be going second?"
"Casper the friendly ghost." We had to laugh at that.
And boy it felt great to laugh.

Chapter.10.::Lilly

It was great taking a shower. I felt like my troubles of all that has been happening for the past week just fall off of me. I felt great, to stand there, under hot water, feeling my brown hair flow over my shoulders.
I turned off the shower and grabbed my towel to dry off. I put on my clothes, and walked into the room. Riley was there, watching MTV on the small tv in front of the two queen size beds.
"How come you get the bed by the window?" I said.
"Because if anybody tries to break in,*cough* creep *cough*I want to be the one that gets hurt. Not you."
I was so touched by his statement that I almost started to cry. But I held back my tears. I said, "So be it. I guess you can have the bed by the window."
I flopped down on my bed and instantly fell asleep.

***
I woke up to a loud snort. It was Riley, no surprise. Those rumors are true that he snores. I turned towards him, and just watched him sleep. He snorted loud again, and I couldn't help but to laugh. It was pretty funny.
I looked at the small alarm clock on the table between the two beds. 7:20 am. It was early, so I wanted to go back to sleep. But I couldn't. I got up, brushed my teeth, and walked down to the breakfast pavilion in front of the hotel.
I grabbed a glazed-donut, a banana, and some milk. I sat down next to a little girl, maybe 6 or 7 years old. She looked up at me.
"Hi!! My name is Lilly." She put out her hand, and I shook it. Her little hands were soft and cold.
"My name is Linly. How old are you? You look like you're-" I lied here so that it would make her happy. "-a 9 year old." The little girl named Lilly smiled at me. "I'm not 9, you silly! I'm 7 years old. I lost a tooth last week! See?" She showed me her empty space.
I smiled big. "Wow, you're a big girl now. What did you get from the tooth fairy?"
She reached in her pocket. "I gots 1 dollar!!" She squeeled loud anough for the whole pavilion to hear.
"So where is your mommy?"
"I don't have a mommy."
"So where's your daddy?"
"I don't have a daddy."
I stopped and gave a sympathetic look. I fet sorry for the kid.
"So who is looking after you?"
"The nice lady in the front check in place."
I looked over at the lady. She smiled at me. I smiled back.
"Do you want to meet my friend, Riley? He's very nice, and he would love you." Her eyes were as bright as the sun when I said that.
"You have friends? I want to meet him! I want to meet him!"
She ran to the counter lady. She came right back. "Shirley said it's okay! Let's go!"
And so I held her hand and went to my room to say hi to Riley.
