Chapter 2: On The Run
Nessie's POV
My lungs burned as I ran as hard and fast as I could from the school. I was determined to put as much distance as I could between me and that hell-hole of a place.
I tripped and heard a sickening crunch as my ankle twisted in a way that was not humanely possible. I landed with a loud thud on my knees and elbows. Pain surged through my body from the wounds and injury.
I heard tires screeching and I looked up just in time to see a car heading straight for me. The car swerved in time to avoid hitting me.
"Get out of the street you stupid girl!" the driver shouted out his window.
I ignored him and stood up slowly. I took a shaky breath as I felt pain surge through my body.
I looked through my bag to see if I had anything useful on me. All I had was two twenty dollar bills and my cellphone which was completely dead. Great the one time I forget to charge it. I also had a stuffed wolf that Jacob made me when I was a baby. He said that it was the only thing that would keep me calm. I grabbed the wolf and held it up to my nose inhaling Jacob's scent. I made sure to brush it against Jacob frequently so that it would always had his scent on it.
I walked for a long time. My ankle was nearly impossible to walk on a few hours later. I gave up and went to a bus stop. I paid my bus fare to the city.
Well I was on the bus I fell asleep. I only woke up when someone pressed on me gently and announced that we were at our destination.
I got off of the bus and quickly found a McDonald's. I used some more of my money to buy some lunch. Then I continued on my way for I don't know how long. When I looked at my watch I realized that school was getting out right about now. I instantly felt guilty when I realized that Jacob would be waiting for me to come home right about now. But I couldn't go home yet. I wasn't ready to face him or tell him about the constant bullying.
Around 5pm I got really tired. So I went and bought more food and then I found a nice bench to sit on. As soon as I was done eating I laid down on the bench carefully. My ankle was killing me as was my multiple scrapes. I was so tired that I fell asleep in less then five minutes.
I screamed when I suddenly felt my bag being yanked from me as I slept. My eyes flew open and the first thing I noticed how dark it was and the second thing I noticed was the two guys standing in front of me.
One of them punched me in the face. "Shut the fuck up or you will regret it!"
I instantly obeyed.
He also yanked my golden necklace that Jacob had just given me from my neck and broke it in the process.
As soon as I got the opportunity I kicked the guy in the balls and grabbed my stuff and ran as fast as I could.
Everything happened in slow motion after that. I heard a sound and then I heard what sounded like a gun firing. Then I felt something enter my back and all I could feel was pain. Immense pain. No injury that I had ever had before ever amounted to the pain that I felt right now.
My legs buckled underneath me and I collapsed on to the cold hard ground.
The men caught up to me easily and grabbed my stuff from me again. They laughed as they rummaged through my things. The stuffed wolf was thrown in my face. That was it. That was all that I was allowed to keep.
I clutched the stuffed wolf close to my chest as I lay there bleeding in the street waiting to die.
