My boyfriend Is An Alien

Chapter 8 In Hiding Months 5 and 6

     So I found out there is a small camp ground hidden in the redwood forest that grows between Crescent City and Gasquet. I have always loved that forest and I have always felt drawn to that forest, So I decided to go to that camp ground.

     The spot I chose was perfect. There is a clearing right next to a river. It is all ringed by large redwood trees. In the clearing there is a spot where there is at least five foot high brush that I set up the tent in. There are two use trees right next to each other that I park the van behind and no one can see it. There is also a picnic table that I can sit at and watch the water. I got a fishing license so I can fish without getting into trouble there. Everything just seemed to fall into place. I felt save and happy for the first time in months. It was great.

     That first night I heard from Sarah again. She tells me once again about my sexy stranger.  He showed up at the beach and talked to her for a while. She gave him the basics about what was going on. He wanted to come to my rescue me but since she didn't know where I was she couldn't tell him anything. I was both happy and sad with the news. I asked how she was, if they were still following her.  She said yes nothing has changed. Once again I told her I was sorry my mother was crazy. This made her laugh and she agreed. We talked about what has been going on in town. The fact that my mother has gotten desperate and has made a have you seen my daughter page on f*******:. I was shocked she really must be desperate. After a few minutes we hung up and I settled in for the night.  Now that it's may the water is beginning to warm up so I got in. I stayed in there till it got dark enough that I needed a flashlight to see by. Then I climbed into the tent.

     For the next few weeks I explored the area. I noticed a road that goes up the hill about a quarter of a mile from my spot so I decided to start watching that road.

     I couldn't help but notice how peaceful it is here. I feel more relaxed now than I have in a long time. I want to stay here forever. There is plenty of room here to hide if I need to. The water is close and nice. The whole place is just so calming. I could live here forever. I mean sure the lack of people would get old but at this point who cares. I absolutely love it here.

     Two weeks after I moved in I had to go for supplies. It was 5:00 a.m. and I went to Target. I figured I never went to that store so no one would be watching this store. Everything was going fine when I walked in. I got everything I needed and was on my way out, but then I stopped dead in my tracks. It was him, it was my sexy stranger. I couldn't believe it, the first thing I did was smile. And it got even bigger when he came over my way. The first thing I said was hi and thanks for the card. I loved it. And that started the greatest conversation in the world. Even if it was a short one.

     "Hi my name is Marcus."" Hi i am Megan."" Its so nice to finally talked to you, I have missed you at the beach."" I know I miss the beach to."" Why haven't you been around?"" It's a long story but the gist of it is my mother sold me for like half a million dollars because I am different."" Are you serious that's crazy! What do they want that they would pay money like that?"" They want a child from me."" What no way, you can't be serious."" Yes! sadly I am very serious. I guess I am a lot like my father and that's what they want."" I don't understand."" Trust me when I say neither do I."" So what you are hiding out till they give up on this crazy idea."" Yes! That's the plan. I have never had a problem living off the land. As long as I have a river I can swim in I am good to go."" Wow so how long have you been at this? Do you think they are still looking?"

     And with those questions it was like he conjured them up. I looked to my right and saw them pulling into the parking lot. My face drained of all color Marcus looked at me then looked and the car and opened my door.

     "Get out of here I will find you again."" But I never go to the same place twice. How?"" Don't worry I will find you.

     with that he gave me the most mind blowing kiss in the world. If my toes could have curled I think they would have. Then he closed the door and ran toward the car as I drove away.

     I was both happy and sad. Happy because he kissed me and I have dreaming about that for a long time. And sad.. NO pissed that they showed up and ruined my time with him. We were doing so well, how will he ever find me again?

     I got back to my camp site, got my car in it's place. Then I was so made that I sat there and cried. I gave myself fifteen minutes to cry then I center myself calm down and put everything away. Then I spent the rest of the day hoping I would see him coming down the road.

     After that the rest of the month was quiet, No one found my hiding place, I didn't see Marcus, It was just really dull. I went for supplies again in June, This time I went to Safeway. I wanted to go to the beach so bad, not only was is starting to get hot but I really wanted to see Marcus. But I knew it wasn't safe and at times like these I really hated my mother. Since I missed Marcus that hatred just got worse. Deep down I knew I would probably never see him again. But I still hoped. When I get home I spend the rest of the day in the water.

     While I was sitting there I watched a truck drive up the road. I was surprised its the first car I hace seen go up that hill since I got here. I don't know why it interests me so much but it does. Maybe it was the color of the truck that caught my attention. It was a sparkly purple. Ans I love purple.

     I think i was really really bored because the highlight of my month was counting how many times that truck went up the road. And by the way it went up there seventeen times. I know most people would tell me to get a life but I liked watching for the truck. I also noticed a pattern, the truck went up the road three time a week always at the same time. 1:30 p.m every Monday, Wensday, and Friday.

     June 30th I heard from Sarah. Nothing has changed on her end. She has only seen my sexy stranger once and he stopped by to tell her he would take care of things. That's when I told her all about our meeting at Target and the kiss. She got as excited as I did and like me she wanted to know how he would manage to find me. We talked for a little while longer then she had to get to bed. And I guess I had to as well. She said she would call me soon, and if I hear from him don't wait to tell her but call her. So we set up a code just in case.
