Running Chapter 5 1-5-2011

Last time

"The only person I think is alive would be my grandma." Why must this be happening to me? I have to go to LA?

"Where does she live?"

'You're not safe there' my mind kept telling me. 'Everyone is gone.'

"Cal-…" I stopped myself. "Washington… State." For the first time in my life I was going with my gut.

"Okay where in Washington does your grandma live?"

"Somewhere near Seattle."

"Okay we'll get you a ticket and you're going there so you can be safe. Okay?"

I nodded my head yes. "Can I get some clothes together?" he nodded and I went in. I am now glad that I have so many duffel bags and backpacks. I packed the rest of my things that I had also the stuff from the hospital. I went to Nick's room and grabbed a few of his shirts, swim trunks, and hoodies and put them into my backpack; all the money that I could find… even Nicks stash. Nick thankfully forgot his IPod here so I grabbed that and his laptop… Dad wouldn't let him bring it again, and I don't own one so… yeah."

"Your plane leaves in thirty minutes. So if you have everything together we better get a move on it." The same guy from down stairs said.

"Yeah I'm almost done just gotta grab something from the office." I said and walked into the room next to my parents and headed towards the filing cabinets. I went to the second one and the third door there, there was three envelopes in it that I knew held a hundred and forty dollars each. So I grabbed them and put them into my backpack as well. I grabbed my duffel, backpack, and computer bag and went back down stairs and found the police officer at the front door waiting for me. "Okay I'm ready."

"Okay… I'm Detective Marx by the way." The guy said and grabbed my duffel from my hands but I kept my computer bag and started walking towards a curser and put them in the back seat.

"I'm Jayden." I said simply and then Detective Marx then opened the passenger side door for me. "thanks." I said, slid in and buckled up.

The ride to the airport was done in silence. Marx tried to talk to me but I didn't respond to him. We parked in a garage; Marx helped me again with my bags. I don't know why because all I had was my duffel, backpack, and computer bag but you don't hear me complaining about having to carry the heavy duffel. Yeah I knew it was heavy but he's not complaining so I'm not going to say anything.

Marx went to the counter to get my ticket information since I didn't know anything about what I need… or where I'm going.

"Alright so your duffel is on the plane because you get two carry on bags. Your plane is leaving at Gate G4 and it leaves in fifteen minutes, so you have to hurry if you want to make it. I'll get you passed security so you wont have to take everything off and back on and you miss your flight but then your on your own okay?"

"okay." I said and we started making our way pass everyone in line. Once we were far enough away Marx turned me to look at him.

"Okay you need to go three Gates over but this is where I leave you." He said and handed me all my flight information and ticket.

"Thank you." I said, he nodded and left. I turned around and started to walk to my Gate. Once there I noticed I was the last person to get on the plane. I handed them my ticket and they helped me to my seat. First Class. Wow when the police hooks you up they hook you up good. Once I got my bags in the over head I sat down and buckled up. Before we were even off the ground I was asleep.

"Miss… Miss, it's time to get off the plane." I felt a hand on my arm.

"What?" I asked

"It's time to get off." I looked around and saw that everyone else was gone.

"Okay… thank you." I said, got up stretched and got my bags out of the over head. I walked off the plane and looked around for baggage claim but I didn't see anything, so I just started walking anyway. After five minutes of walking and still nothing, I found a security dude. "Excuse me?"

"Yes?" he was old and looked sweet

"Hi I'm a little lost… do you know where baggage claim is?"

"Oh you were almost there its right down this hall way and to the right." He said and pointed down I hall that I would never have thought to go down. But I wasn't the only one going that way so I felt save.

"Thank you… Have a great day." I said and turned away and started walking away

"I will now." I heard him mutter.

I found my bag on the belt as soon as I got there, seeing as that it was the last bag on the belt. Everything around me when I got out side was all foreign to me, I mean I knew everything it's just a big city that I've never been in before so yeah. I saw a few cab's lined up against the side walk so I walked up and got in to one with someone is the drivers seat.

"Where to?" she asked me.

"Towards the ocean." I told her

"but that's two hours from here." She complained

I pulled out one of the envelopes and handed it to her. "That enough?"

She opened it and looked inside. Once she was satisfied she but the car into gear and we were off. I leaned against my bags and I started to doze off again.

~dream~

I was in a forest that was completely covered in green. I looked to my left and saw a cliff with the ocean below it. Then I looked to my right and saw bright ruby red eye's coming closer and closer. I was going to look in front of me to see if I could run but before I could-

~End Dream~

"Yo wake up we're here!" The cabbie said. Waking me up from my dream.

"Where?"

"First beach, La Push. This is where you wanted to go isn't it?"

"Yeah, yeah this is perfect. Thanks." I said and got out and started walking away with my bags in tow behind me.

"Hey! You over paid by seventy-five dollars." She called to me.

"oh." I said and walked back. "Thank you." She handed me the money then drove off. I looked over to where people were heading and it was a perfect. 'wow' I thought 'it looks so beautiful here. No just where am I going to sleep?' I guess I didn't think of that.

I saw some woods I to the side. 'Maybe I can put my bags there right now then come back later and find a place to stay.'

When my bags were hidden I grabbed Nicks IPod and a book then headed down to the sand. It was warm and it felt nice. I still had Nicks shirt on it probably looked bad on me but I don't care.

I walked over to a picnic table and turned on Nicks IPod. The first thing I saw was that it was in Picture mode. The first thing I saw was my mom with her hair down and flowing in the breeze and a smile on her face.

Me and my mom look so much alike. She gave me her think brown hair, hazel eye's and her hands; the rest of me I get from my dad, lips, nose, eyebrows… witch surprisingly I never have to pluck to keep in order. Katlynne was always jealous of that… she had mom's eyebrows.

I move to the next picture and it was… it was of me! A very nice picture of me. The next picture was of Chuck, mom and I at the zoo… this was years ago before they even got married… to I was five they were posing for like a couple shot but then I was in-between them. It was my favorite picture I've ever taken.

My nose started to run and tears started to sting my eyes. If only I was that age again, then I wouldn't be here and I would know what to do differently.

"are you okay?" I heard someone ask.

Hey guy's here's another chapter for y'all to read. Please review.
