Chapter 7

As I was slowly, but reluctantly getting out of bed, I was greeted with hugs from Stephen and Maria. I was entirely grateful for them saving me out there, and getting me away from that nightmare. Saddly, I told them that I wanted to go home , out of homesickness but also, the thing I was going to tell them.

"Jonathan, you be careful out there okay," Maria said trying not to cry.

"Yah, we really don't want you to be getting hurt out there, so please stay safe," Stephen told me.

"I will, thank you guys so much for getting me out of that horrible place. I am entirely grateful for your guys' help," I said with a big goofy grin on my face.

"It was our pleasure, we wouldn't want you to stay in that place forever," Stephen said.

"We don't want you to feel anymore pain like that again, we care about you, ya know," Maria said calmly.

"I know you guys do, and so do I, and thank you guys once again," I said trying not to let out a tear.

We all sat down to eat the eggs and toast that Maria prepared for us. It was silent through out the entire meal, and it was a comfortable silence. As I took the last bite of my meal, I packed up the little clothes I had with me.

"Wait, Jonathan, we got a bus ticket for you so you can get home," Stephen said handing me the ticket.

"Oh, thank you," I said as I turned around to leave. Although I stopped to give them one last hug.

"I love you guys," I said. "We love you too," they said in unison. After their tears stopped, I went out the door, and started to travel back to the place that I thought I would never see again, home.

Time skip

After I got off the bus I took my time and slowly walked back home.With the sounds of nature accompanying me on my journey.

When I arrived at the front steps to the house, I got up and did two quite knocks on the door. I thought nobody was home as I started to go walk away, until I heard footsteps from inside. I turned around to see my mom, with her head down.

"Yes," she said sullenly.

"Hi mom," I said a little hastily.

Her head immediately shot up and she leaped up and gave me a big hug. That was when my sister came around, curiosly to ask who it was. She jumped up and shot straight at me to engulph me in a hug around my back.

"Jonathan," they both said with tears of joy in their eyes.

We said nothing but only hugged and walked inside. When we got in, I remembered what I was going to tell them.

"Mom, Nevaeh, I need to tell you guys something," I said starting to shake because of fear.

"Sure, what is it," my mom asked with a happy grin on her face, which I knew soon would disappear.

"I k-killed P-Parker," I said trying not to cry.

Mom's face instantly turned to a ghostly white along with my sister. "Wh-What," mom said starting to cry once more.

That is when I let spill all out, telling them all the little bits of truth, but with fear an stammering in my voice. I told them about the conversation, the gun he took, the yelling, the fight, everything. When I was done, I looked outside to see that it was nightime, meaning I was talking for a very long time.

I lifted my head to be met with a flaring, mom, and a very angry sister.

"You, killer!" they screamed at me.

Before I had time to explain, my mom slapped me in the face. Fear, shock, and hurt took over me, as I ran for my life out of the house. I sprinted, and without looking back, into the woods and away from the neighborhood. I came to where a flat area of land was and fell on my knees, my head in my arms, and sobbed.

When I looked up I saw something hovering above me, I couldn't tell what it was, and I did not care. All of a sudden a super bright light shined right in my face. I got up to run, but it was no use as I was being lifted off the ground and into the sky.

I was about to scream when my head smacked against a branch as I was rising in the air. I blacked out, and I was unconcious.
