Chapter 2~ Running Away

I couldn't believe he was actually following me.  Or in my case he was leading me to a lake.  I guess it isn't really romantic considering he's leading me to a dead body...  Still I couldn't help, but to smile.  I've liked him for as long as I've known him...  I haven't known him for that long. The only other time he spoke to me was when he stood up for me after some of his friends were making fun of me.  I guess that's when I started to like him.  He was my hero.  Even though I didn't even know his name at the time.  I think it's funny how things like this end up happening.  My favorite song was now playing in my head.

"All along I believed I would find you" I sang out loud.

"What?" He said.

"Oops sorry I was singing my favorite song... I didn't mean for you to hear that."

"Oh.  Well you sing good, anyways we're here"

"Okay."

"This is what I was talking about. I was one of the first kids here to see this."

"Really? Wow it's filthy.  At least now we know not to drink from there."

"Yeah unfortunately..."

"What?"

"This person had to die because of it"

"True"

"So can you tell what gender it is?"

"It's a female, about hmm..."

"How can you tell?"

"Well the sex organs is a pretty good way to start"

"Oh right I forgot about that."

"She's been dead for about a few weeks.  Also she's around maybe 18"

"How do you know this?"

"Just trust me I've done enough research to know"

"Alright.  Well um do you maybe wanna get something to eat?"

I couldn't believe this... He was asking me to eat with him!  Okay so maybe I was over exaggerating, but still.  I immediately replied.

"Definitely.  But I don't have any money with me."

"That's okay I'll pay for it"

"Really are you sure?

"Yeah I'm sure."

"Okay wow thanks."

We headed off to the nearest sandwich shop around and we sat down to eat.  I wished he didn't bring up an awkward topic.  My parents.  I didn't want to cry in front of him, I wanted to show him that I was strong, but I couldn't help it.  At the thought of them I started to cry.

"Hello? Are you Gregg Farley?"

"Yeah?  Why?"

"I'm Officer Holton, and I was informed that you were at Lake Misterial when a body was uncovered."

"Yes I was."

"Good I'm afraid I'm going to have to take you in for some questioning.  Don't worry you'll be back with your girlfriend by three."

"Oh sorry Karina I guess I have to go.  Oh and also officer she isn't my girlfriend.  Yet..."
