The hideaway
We ran to the house I once lived in. Not even for sale. I guess no one wants the risk of a killer walking in. I still had an old house key, I open the door and walk inside nothing has changed just cleaned up. I guess this place is mine now I thought to myself. It still belonged to this family.
I locked the door behind us, I realized that I liked this place. All the memories flooded back to me the good and the bad. Liu going to juvie and the kids who attacked me. Also meeting Jack.
I walked upstairs to my bedroom, nothing has changed in here either. Relief filled my chest knowing I didn't have to be constantly on the run I still had a home but never thought to return.
Jack came upstairs and sat down on the bed while I stared out the window. The sun started to set. I walked outside to sit in my backyard and Jack joined me. We sat on the grassy hill. The sun disappeared and revealed the night sky I knew so well.
Sitting there caused the thought of Jane to slip my mind. I layed in the cool grass watching the stars. I hadn't felt this way in such a while. Happy, normal, and loved. No feeling felt better.
I thought the feeling of love would never be mine. People screamed at the sight of me, "Finally I can enjoy the beauty of the night, without fear." I told Jack
He removed the mask he was wearing. I saw his smile. It was the first time I saw someone smile at the sound of my voice. At the sight of me. His cheeks red against his gray skin.
