Alone

Part 8: Esmerelda

Esmerelda

After Tom dropped me off I ran for the doors hoping Bryce would be waiting for me. Bryce was in my room on my bed. "what did you do" he asked. "I did what I had to do and I gave the cops a mystery to solve giving us time to get outa the country". Bryce and I boarded a bus going south we decided we were going to go to mexico. There was a DUI checkpoint on the way and the police took the driver off of the bus. They took him out of the bus and apparently the bus driver was drunk. The escorted all of the passengers out of the bus including Bryce and myself.

We had to act casual but we needed to either find a bus or a safe place to stay. I went up to one of the officers at the checkpoint "where is the next bus going south" I alerted the officer, "shouldn't be any more buses tonight, where are you headed if i may ask" the officer was starting to make me nervous until Bryce saved me. "we are headed south to our friend Angelo's house". Bryce was calm when he said it. I had no clue that Angelo lived down south . "I could give you a ride if you guys want" the officer offered us. "oh its ok its not to far from here actually" such a calm tone coming from his voice. I was really nervous.

We walked over to Angelo's house and when we got there we saw he wasn't home. He must've still been at the venue. We broke into his house because Bryce picked the lock on the back door. "go ahead and get some shut eye Im sure Angelo will be back to welcome us". I laid on the couch and shut my eyes.
