Sacrifices – Traveling Trails 14

continued…

Meanwhile at the ranch, all the guys surround wounded Leo and question him in shame for what he had done. He tried to explain it wasn’t him who did it or planned it. The whole idea was the old man’s. He had spoken to Leo on the ride as he sat in the passenger side and every one else sat outside. Of course, none of them believed him.

As their runaway friend continues running, she hears a noise in the distance that startles her as she panics at the thought she is defenseless and turns around running back where she came from thinking she cannot go far without her backpack. She runs to a big dip on the ground where she sprains an ankle not being careful. As she falls she hits her head and goes unconscious.

She wakes to an odd couple arguing in the distance. The female says to the male that she does not understand him and she does not know why. She keeps trying to help him and doesn’t know why he is still discontent.

He tells her that he needs to be alone, free from her chains and all the doubt and negative thoughts she keeps feeding him. He is angry with her yelling louder and louder as she tries to argue her case telling him that he needs to fall in line and obey. Stop being a disillusioned idiot fantasizing ideas that always fail.

“There is NO perfect relationship. You have to settle!” she argues and he yells back even louder as she slaps him on his cheek and our passed out runaway victim wakes up.

She hears Leo and her friends calling out for her and she screams for help. It took a few minutes for her to be found, but then she was carried back to the ranch.

Back to the situation she has escaped from and thought she would never come back to. She believed it was the moment she would never see her friends again. It wasn’t, and here she is sitting by the washer and dryer imagining things as she waits for the loads to finish, since there isn’t much more she can do on that ankle of hers.

She begins to write in her journal:

{What are you good at?

“Greenskeeper, nurseryman?”

I aspire to be much more than that. I travel through the trails alone trying to find a home. Learn as I grow, stumble as I go never with the flow. I write what I live and live what I write whether you think I’m wrong or right. I dare to live different experiences in life that turn right right on time every time. So don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine.}

Then she writes down this is the beginning of a new story!!!
