Runaway #3

A place you’ve never seen is not a good place to wake up. You expect to be in your bed, where it’s warm and safe, not far from you family. For a moment Haley forgot what had happened last night, and then it came back to her. She had run away. . Her body ached and she rolled over in the dirt, looking around her. It was nippy outside, and she was cold. She pulled her sweater out of the bag and slipped it on, picking the bacpack up and looking around. Last night it had been hard to see. It was early afternoon, and she walked up the sidewalk next to the bridge. She knew people would be looking for her soon, so she wanted to get far away from here.
