Out of breath and tired. That's all I was at that moment, I couldn't think about anything else. All I thought about was running. Where was I running to? I'm not sure, but I was running. Far, far away. Nothing else mattered in that moment, nothing to tie me down, no one to tell me not to. I just kept running. I was running through a forest, I wasn't sure why though. I wasn't sure how I was dodging the trees either, but I was. I soon heard my name being called, someone was chasing me, someone was following me. My name sounded like an echo running through the whole forest. The echo got closer. I wasn't able to tell who the voice belonged to, I couldn't even tell if the voice was a man or woman. I just kept running, no more tie-downs, no more rules. It got closer and closer. It felt like it was right behind me, I felt the voice almost on my ear.

In that exact moment: I woke up. My history teacher shouting my name right beside my desk.

"Miss Adair, if you wish to sleep you might as well throw your life out now." My teacher, Ms. Kline had said to me.

She was the worst out of all my teachers, she's a pain in the ass.

I glared at her for a while and slouched back in my chair. My "friend" Blake tried to get my attention after that little episode, let's just say he failed. Personally if I had the choice, I'd rather throw him in a garbage truck and watch him head for the dump. I only hang out with the guy mainly because he has no one else and I don't either. As soon as get out of this hell hole of a school, I'm breaking all contact from everyone in this school. Not needing to deal with anyone here ever again.

After my some of my classes, I went to the lunch room. I never felt like eating. I don't know, actual food never sat well in my stomach. I sat down at a table leaning back in my chair, closing my eyes. I wanted to go back into my dream world, away from it all. My thoughts were then interrupted by the annoyance in my life. Blake sat across the table from me and started talking. I just tuned him out. I thought about the forest I was in when I was dreaming. What forest was that? I felt like I've been there before…

My train of thought was lost when Blake yelled my name.

"What?" I said.
"Did you hear me?" he asked

"No."

"I asked if you wanted to come out with me and two friends and go camping during spring break."

I thought about it for a minute. Go out with two people I don't know and a guy I don't like and go out and sleep on the ground for a few days? Or stay home and be alone? Yeah, as much as I didn't want to; at the same time, I really didn't want to be home.

"It'll also be a good way to spend your birthday," he said.

Oh yeah. I'm turning sixteen that week too. Whatever, it's not like my mom had anything planned.

"Yeah whatever let's go."

He smiled and he ate in silence, thankfully. I just leaned back and dreamt of a better life out alone.

I got home late after going for a walk and having a smoke with a few people. My mom doesn't ever care, she stopped caring after a while. I opened the door to my room and threw my bag down. My mom walked into the doorway of my room in a pink robe and her hair up in a bun. She looked a bit tired, she was waiting on me to get home.

"Sorry I'm late," I said.

"It's fine, I just wish you would give me a heads up on where you're going," she said quietly looking down.

"Hey, during spring break I'm going out into the woods and camping with a few people and Blake."
"Will you be back for your birthday?"
"No."
"Oh. Well, if that's what you wanna do fine."

She walked out of my room without another word. I felt a bit bad, I mean she has always tried her hardest for me. She's never been much of an authority though, just as parently figure.

I washed off my makeup, black eyeliner and eyeshadow, and brushed my teeth and went to bed. I fell asleep almost instantly, which is pretty good seeing as how I can barely ever sleep. I guess it's because I kept getting interrupted by everyone else today.

I dreamt of the forest again, I wasn't running though. I was lying down. I was being held. I couldn't tell who was holding me though. I couldn't process the figure, it was just a giant blur to me.

I woke up after my mom had waken me for school. I got up and just did my daily routine. Put on my black makeup, my black hoodie and a pair of jeans. Even though it was spring, I didn't care. I never really wore anything else.

I headed to school and went into my first class when I got in. Blake sat next down to me and smiled. I just rolled my eyes and slouched in my chair.

"So my two friends Riley and Greg will be going us," he said.

"Mhm," it was too early to talk, I only attempted sounds.

"They're a bit older than us, they're both eighteen."
"Hm."

"Uh- they sometimes do bad things, drugs, alcohol, just try not to get involved with it."

"Uh-huh."

Like hell. He couldn't tell me how to live my life, I've drank before and I always smoke. Fuck it.

I started packing up when I got home, just the essentials though; clothes, flashlight, sleeping bag, cell phone, pocket knife…

I set all my stuff out in my living room and laid down in my bed. I was leaving tomorrow for about a week, but if Blake did anything to piss me off, I would leave right away. I was going to be on a two-hour long ride with them. I would need my earbuds in order to stop Blake from talking to me.

I decided to close my eyes again. I thought about my dream a bit. The same forest each time and a mysterious figure. What the hell did it mean? Whatever it meant maybe there was a chance for peace and quiet this week to think about it. Hopefully nothing too bad happens...

So here it is the revised version of Daddy's Girl. If you haven't read that one, that's fine! You don't have to read that one to read this one. This is simply a new version of the story. I hope you enjoy.
