New Beginning: An Introduction to an End
Those last few hours before everything ended still plagues me. It's been five years since I last saw them. Simon, Tori, and, and… Derek.
I remember bits and pieces of where I was, the dark allies and blinking street lights guiding our paths. They were chasing us down. We had to run. Somehow, we had gotten split up, I never found them again. I travelled as far west to Fairmount, afraid that they would catch me again. There was no turning back.
I was on my own.
Weeks on the street, surviving with whatever Derek had taught me. I tried contacting my dad and Aunt Lauren, but, no use. When I checked the newspapers in the libraries, there was news about my dad in Chicago.
Good news was, I never heard any stories about Simon and them.
After that, I half walked and half hitch hiked to Chicago. Was I still really looking for my dad? I didn't even know. I went from a spoiled school girl to a target to nothing. I really lost everything.
