I woke up to the sound of yelling. I first looked to see if Jamie was okay, he was still sound asleep, thankfully. I looked down from the fire escape to see that some guys were fighting in the ally below. I was surprised that Jamie was still sleeping through the yelling, i'm telling you, that kid can sleep through anything.
The guys after 15 minutes finally stopped fighting. I could not go back to sleep so i watched the sunrise. It was a nice view, about an hour latter Jamie woke up, he blinked and put on his glasses and said "Sam, i'm hungry!"
I pulled out a granola bar and handed it to him "here you go Jamie, and quiet down will ya? people might hear you."
"Fine."
He eated the granola bar and said "can you get us some food that's not granola bars?"
"Yeah, but you'll have to come with me." i responded
"Okay." he said as he got up.
We put our jackets on and started going down the stairs. Once we got to the bottom we started walking out of the ally.
As we were walking Jamie asked "Sam….. who were mom and dad?"
I sighed "Jamie…. I told you….. They left us."
"You don't remember who they were?" Jamie asked
"No….. no i don't…."
Right as i said that three eighteen year old looking guys came from behind us. One had a baseball bat
"Well what do we have here?"
I stepped in front of Jamie "Back off!"
They all laughed. The one with the baseball bat said "Oh no, im so scared….. What you going to do kid."
i punched him in the stomach, bad idea. He stepped backwards
"oh…. So were going to fight…. Get him"
His two friends grabbed me as he was getting ready to hit me. Jamie screamed.
"STOP!"
the boy with the baseball bat hit Jamie in the head.
I yelled "NO!"
Before i knew it he hit me in the head with the bat, i backed out for a second, then i heard Jamie screaming. I opened my eyes right as a lightning bolt hit Jamie. The light was blinding, thankfully i closed my eyes….. Because i blacked out again.
I woke up to the sound of Jamie crying. My ears were ringing, i opened my eyes, what i saw was insane. The ground was black from the explosion the three guys were on the ground unconscious. I walked up to Jamie and said
"Jamie!... Jamie!... We need to get out of here!"
He looked up at me with tears in his eyes and said nothing. I grabbed his hand and ran, i was so confused but all i knew is that i had to get out of there.
I ran to main street and went as fast as i could, and i accidently ran into someone. I fell down and Jamie fell down with me. The person we ran into was a older lady she somehow did not fall down.
"Oh!... You two okay? are you guys running from something?"
"No!" i quickly said
"Our your parents nere by?" she said
Jamie quickly said "no, they left us!"
"Jamie! Shut up!" i said back
The lady looks at both of us and says "what our your names?"
Jamie response with "im Jamie and this is Sam"
"Jamie!... We don't even know who this person is!" i yelled at him
The lady's eyes went big "your names our sam and Jamie?"
I said "yeah?"
"I need to make a phone call." she said as she pulled out her phone and turned around so we could not hear her.
I turned to Jamie "Jamie, we should run."
He reasoned "No! She's trying to help us!"
"What if she's trying to get us back to the roster home!"
He looked down "Sam, i don't want to go back to the foster home."
"Yeah exactly! Lets go!"
Right as i said that the lady turned around and said "you guys need to come with me."
I grabbed Jamie's arm and ran as fast as i could. I heard the lady yelling but i did not listen. I did not want to go back, not ever. We ran for a long time then Jamie yelled
"I think we lost her."
I stopped and looked around, we ran into a ally and stopped there.
"We should stay here for a wile" i said
We both sat down our backs on a wall. Jamie put his head on my shoulder and said
"Sam….. what happened, with the lightning and stuff"
I responded "you tell me, and we both survived, i don't know what happened."
After a little bit he fell asleep and so did I.
