Ch 6: Runaway
Lars was now approaching the very spot he had at crashed the night before he remembered very little of the crash, he remembered a car beeping Twister yelling and a loud bang. Then he woke up like in some sort of bad dream, but it wasn't a dream it was reality now Twister wouldn't be able to walk again. Now he neared the exact spot of the accident everything had pretty much been cleared except some pieces of glass he stopped and stared at the glass then he started walking down his street and came to his door which was unusually unlocked he put his hands in his pockets looking for the key, it wasn't there. -I must have lost it somewhere.- he thought.. maybe the backdoor was open it wasn't but lucky for Lars he could break into the back door easily which is what he did, he walked into the house which was empty "Mom?" no answer
He went into the bathroom to take a shower the cut below collar bone hurt the EMT wrapped a big piece of gauze going over his shoulder across his collarbone and then under his other arm. Lars took off the bandage it stuck to his cut he probably should have a doctor look at it it was sort of deep he got into the shower despite the stinging. After he got all clean he went to the kitchen to get some food. there was a piece of paper on the table. He picked it up
Lars:
I'm going away now, I'm not sure where to yet but I'll know when I get there I'm not sure when/if I will return until then take good care of my baby.
Your Mom, Sandy
Lars dropped the letter his eyes widened his hands shook. -What no good bye? No I love you?- a tear rolled down his cheek. He wanted to see Twister but he wasn't sure if he really wanted to leave the house yet he had a lot of thinking to do. -What am I going to do?- he asked himself sitting down on the couch, soon he fell asleep he had a dream, Reggie was in it was very vague, the part of the dream he remembered the most was them kissing he woke up with a head ache it was almost 9:00 his legs were sore...then again most of his body was sore. He decided that he would stay at the house and get a good nights rest...or as good of a rest you could get under the circumstances and would visit Twister tomorrow. He fell back asleep without much more thought.

Reggie still wondered where Lars was. -What could he be doing?- though she wasn't sure why she wondered she had never thought about Lars this way but now. That night she stayed my Twister's side trying hard not to fall asleep but she did around midnight she had the same dream that Lars was having, but of course neither of them knew that the other was dreaming of them.
-----
The next morning Lars awoke around 9:30. He then remembered the struggle which lied ahead. -How am I supposed to take care of Twister?- He couldn't bare to think of being put in a foster home or of him and Twister being separated he figured since his birthday was not far off that he would just keep it a secret once he turned 18 Twister wouldn't get taken away-There isn't a law against that. Is there? Its not kidnapping right?- he thought. -There's always dad... No, that would just make things worse. - He sighed he would workout the details later now he wanted to go see Twister. He stumbled up the stairs and got dressed and left the house and started off for the hospital.
