"Ill see you tomorrow!" Xander yelled before stepping on his bus.

"I will text you tonight X" I responded at the same level.

The bus ride home was totally normal. I got home at about 3:00 because school ends at 2:45. I walked from the bus stop  to my house and unlocked the door. My dad would be home after picking Jackson up from school in the next half hour. This is my favourite time of the day. I have the whole house to myself and I have quiet to do my homework. All I have today is history homework. After completing my homework in about 25 minutes, I go get a snack. I grab a fruit roll up from the drawer and start eating. I hear the door jiggle and i know my dad and brother are home.

"Willow, I'm home," my dad said as he walked into the kitchen. I could hear Jackson scurrying up to his room. He probably wanted to play with his toys.

" How was work?" I asked.

" Same as always," he replied.

" Are you hungry I can make you something?"  

" Only a little, I'll have a snack like you,"

"Oh, okay. Is it alright if I go to the park?

" Yeah, sure. Just make sure to be home before 10."

"I know, I know dad." 

I ran up stairs to my bedroom. I got my bag ready with all the necessities including a book to read, my phone, a charger, pepper spray about 10 dollars, and my medical bracelet. I changed out of my school clothes and put on something more comfortable. Then i said bye to my dad before walking to the park. When I got there i headed to my favourite bench. I was near the edge of the park by a little stream. It was usually empty like it was today. It was pretty far from the play toy so unless a child screamed I wouldn't be able to hear them. That was good if i wanted to read my book here.

I pulled out my book and started reading. I like reading because its like I'm in a whole different world. I looked up from my book and saw the sun start to hang low. I looked at my phone and the clock said 9:15. It takes me about and hour to walk home from the park so I knew I would have to run. I got up from the bench and put my book in my bad. I put the bag on my back and started to sprint across the field at the park.

I decided to take the shortcut I always take when I'm running late. I cut through a street and head towards an alleyway . I turn back to look at the sun and check my watch and see that i have 15 more minutes. I'm a little less then 20 minutes walking from home so i decided to take a break and walk a little bit. After walking for about 5 more minutes i look back and the sun and check my watch again. 9:52. I ran faster than i did at the park and I turned around i bump into a huge wall like structure. I fall to the ground and hit my head. For a split second i open my eyes and see a man standing next to me. Then I pass out.
