2. Chapter 2

i wrote this kinda wanting to sorta explain Dakota a little more. I hope you like it, its a little slow but here you go.

I could lie and say I didn't miss her, for the selfish thing she did, but I did. I know she was scared but she was supposed to protect me, but she left me. I miss Savannah, but I don't miss Crawford. They looked at me because like I was weak because I was only 12, if they only knew.

I remember everything.

"Survival of the fittest, and obviously, you aren't the fittest" he said turning his nose up and my skinny arms. I was strong, I was mostly muscle actually. I worked out everyday to gain muscle weight. I gained 15 pounds that year. I was still around 20 pounds underweight still, but I couldn't do anything about it. I had an overactive thyroid which made me so skinny, so anxious, so tired and out of focus all the time. Sorry, Crawford, even if my life depended on it, I couldn't gain another pound. But aunt Jane, she had beautiful black hair the was always wavey and she had a smile with deep dimples, I on the other hand was underweight and had dark circles under my eyes all the time. I could never sleep at night, I would only wake up shortly from nightmares about my parents. My mom and dad left me with aunt Jane when I was 3. They said they'd come back in 3 years when they left for Vegas when they had enough money, they never did. They weren't bad people. They loved me enough to keep me with Jane.

If only Crawford wouldn't have taken her from me. I remember the last look I got from her when they shut me out. She mouthed the words ' I'm sorry ' but it still is impossible for me to forgive her for what she had done to me. I was left in Savannah stuck in a gas station until a group took it away from there leaving me to the crowded, dead streets of Savannah. Now, I'm here following way behind these people, who I don't know a thing about, but they saved me from that place.

"Wait." I said one last time. I was starting to catch up. I was about 20 yards behind them when they looked back at me. "Stop." I managed to creak out of my mouth then one turned around and looked at me wide eyes. Then I passed out.
