Summer Of Miracles---Thirty Seven
Landon and MEghan slept in the woods through the night. Meghan woke up first to the sound of footsteps. She saw a tall, dark-haired guy towering over them and then he knelt down. "Hey, sweetie, where are you from?" the man asked gently, laying a hand on her knee. "My Uncle is here. Under those leafs. He was really cold." SHe explained and pointed to a stack of leaves, and out stuck a brown-haired head.
The man carefully uncovered the slim body and he shook awoke the boy in anger. "Landon West!" He yelled and Landon snapped awake. "Peter...?" Landon mumbled, half-asleep, half-awake.
"Yeah, it's me!" Peter snapped and pulled Landon up. "Man, stop!" Landon yelled and pulled away from Peter, grabbing Meghan. Meghan winced in pain and Landon's eyes grew wide in rage.
He pulled off his jacket and looked at her shoulder and saw a huge, blackish-blue bruise that covvered 3/4 of her shoulder. "You lied to me!" He yelled at her, "You told me he didn't hit you!" Tears filled her eyes and she yelled back, "He told me not to! He said that if I did he'll kill you! And Mikey!"
"Guys, let's go to my office, okay?" Peter said gently, realizing there was more to the situation than a runaway kid.

Nicole, Sarah, Jennifer and Kristin were sitting in their dorm talking. For once, Jennifer wasn't acting like a stuck-up snot, and she hadn't since she saw her mom. In fact, she had hardly talked at all except for now.
"Have you guys ever had a tattoo?" Jennifer asked sneakily. "No, genuis because all of us are 7-8 years to short," Sarah answered and continued flipping through a 1999 issue of PopStar! magazine. Jennifer rolled her eyes at this and pulled up her shirt sleeve to reveal a tattoo. "I did it myself," She said proudly, "With a razor and ink!" The girls continued to stare at it.
It was a devil with a half above it and the girls winced, thinking of the pain she had to have been in. "It's not going to be pernament, of course," Jennifer started, "But it's been there for two months now. It's just not healed form the pressure I put on it. It didn't hurt a lot."
"Want one?" Everyone except Kristin shook their heads. "I want one!" She exclaimed and took a raizor out from under her bed.
