HAZEL GRAY
I ran away again, like a coward. I ran away from my problems, my life, my family, everyone I loved and now him. I ran away from everything but this time I do not feel relieved or good. I was just walking straight not knowing what to do, not knowing where to stop, just walking blindly. It felt like I was crying but there was no water dripping from my eyes, my heart was beating louder and louder till it started bumping in my ears everything went so fast I don't even get the chance to think where should I go. I just got an opportunity to run when Anna was walking in front of me and took it. I ran without looking back at him, and now it was feeling terrible but I do not know why I was feeling like this. It felt like my inner self was asking me if this was what I wanted right. I have been running for my whole life, I want to stop I am tired...
All the voices were shouting in my head, telling me to run, run away from everything. It was becoming intolerable, I wanted to scream, shout and cry everything out but I suddenly stopped. My feet felt like it sticks to the ground. All I was watching was a teddy bear that was displayed in one of the toy stores. It was the same teddy that my father gave me when I was 14 years old. Everything paused at that moment, all I could see was the image of my father in front of me, it made me remember the night I run away from my home to Boston, to end everything. I thought no one was going to know that I was gone until morning, but I was wrong. When I was leaving, I felt his presence behind me, I turned and our eyes met. Firstly, I thought he will stop me but he did not. He stand there just watching me leave, I thought he also doesn't want me to live like others but I was wrong, I heard "Go on Hazel, make the right decision, and don't come back until you prove it right." This was the last words I heard him from him. Now the same line was repeating in my head. Go on Hazel... make the right decision.
I was still staring at the teddy bear, "do you want it?" somebody asked which I knew was Aiden. "No" was my quick reply. "What are you doing here when you were supposed to be eating with us right now? Were you trying to escape Hazel?" he asked me politely when I was expecting him to be angry. "I was just checking your security and you know what it's terrible, you took 10 minutes to find me," I said sarcastically. He was about to say something but Anna came from behind and hugged me tightly as if she was scared as hell. "I'm fine Anna," I said to her softly. "What are you doing here?" she asked me with concern written all over her face. "I was just taking a look at the stores," I said. It was a lie.
"Let's go back to your home, I am tired," I said to Aiden, noticing the expression of shock and surprise on his face. Yes, I decided to stay because this time I want to fight one last time...
"Okay," he said.
