I was starting to get hungry so I took a big sip from my water. Here is another water bottle, آپ might want some مزید later. Thanks, I better get going before someone catches me. I told Jackson. Don't آپ think you'll get caught if آپ hang around here? Jackson asked me. Yeah, but this is one place where I can all most blend in and not
stick out like a soar thumb. I said. Well آپ better put on some sunscreen and a hat. It is suppose to be 95 degrees today. Jackson said. Yeah, to bad I don't have any of that. Guess I'll need to find a lot of shade some where. I said. Here is my hat. Jackson کہا as he handed his hat to me. I can't take your hat. I told him. Yeah آپ can, I can get another one from my locker. Jackson said. Thank آپ so much for everything. I کہا to Jackson. Well I better get back to my job. Jack said. Okay thank آپ for everything. I told Jackson. No problem. I followed him out of the office, he went right and I went left. The
sand was kind of hot under my feet but it probably felt better than the pavement right now. It didn't take as long as I thought for the
storm to get here. Soon everyone left the beach, including the lifeguards so that ment that I was able to hind in the lifeguard tower. It hadn't started storming that big when 2 boys showed up. Well look who we have here, it that stupid Taylor girl that the cops can't catch. I didn't say anything. Hahahah they both started laughing. Cat
got your tounge? The bigest one said. They were both bigger than me but I had confidence that I could take the down. آپ know what, I think I have seen آپ on tv. Really? Ony of the boys asked. Yeah, didn't آپ play one of the guys on Dumb and Dumber? I asked them. I never knew, how lame that line was but it work, they were pretty
ticked at me. I couldn't help just smile. I still had on my hat that Jackson gave me but I had it turne backwards so I could fight better if I needed too. One of the guys came at me with his fist. I ducked and he hit his knuckles on the wall. Hahaha nice move. I told him. The other guy grabbed me from behind and slammed me againist the wall. It hurt but not anough to دکھائیں it. He turned me around and punched me in the gut. It hurt so bad so I kicked him down south. I ran out the door, than the other guy grabbed me and punched me in the in the face. I felt my tooth cut through my bottom lip. I could feel the blood
running down my chin. The سیکنڈ guy came out with my skateboard and tried to hit me on the side of my head, I ducked in time and he fell
through the window. It was funny, but for only a few seconds. The first guy nailed me in the shoulder and right above my right eyebrow. One guy held my arms behind my back while the other punched me in the stomach. He did it 4 یا 5 times before he let my arms go. It was pooring rain and it was lighting and thundering reall bad. I stoud up and nail on guy right in the nose, I heard it crack. I broke his nose. The guy with broken nose started to leave but the secong guy stayed. I was in the corner of the rail, he came over and picked me in the stomach and punched me سے طرف کی my mouth again. I dropped to the ground. I was in so much pain it was horrible. He left and I saw him checking on his friend's face. I laided in the same spot forever it felt like, I was finially able to crawl back inside. I laid againist the back دیوار in a lot of pain. My stomach hurt so bad I thought I was going to puke my guts out. I finially was able to go to sleep.

I woke up to the sun rising. I was happy that no one had found me. I found my hat, cover the side of my face with my hair, and than stuck my hat on. I guess I slepted through that worst part of the storm because it was sunny and everything. I looked around the lifeguard shack inside to see if there was any blood that they might find. I
didn't find any which I was thankful for. I was walking out of the lifeguard shack when I ran into Jackson. I mumble sorry, kept walking and hopping that he wouldn't know it was me. Taylor? Jackson said. It made me stop in my tracks. I slowly turned around and walked toward him with my head down. What on earth happen to you? Jackson کہا as he looked at my knuckles and face. I uhh got into a fight but it wasn't my falt. I told him. Look, آپ can tell me while I get those cuts cleaned up. Jackson said. No, thanks I don't want to get caught. I said. Your not going to get caught, I came early. Jackson said. I followed him back to one of the offices. آپ better start explaining yourself. Jackson said. I told him everything while he cleaned my
knuckle, lip and my eyebrow. They punched آپ in the stomach how many times? Jackson asked shocked. Well if آپ had all the hits to my
stomach together than it equals to about 8 یا 9 times. I کہا to Jackson. Do آپ know why these boys would beat آپ up? Jackson asked. Yeah, it's because I'm Taylor, they were thinking if they beat me up they could turn me into the cops but that all change when they rilzed I could fight. I said. Okay, let me feel your stomach, I want to make sure everything is okay in there. Jackson told me. I laid back on the table, he started feelig around my rib cage. Ugh, everything is fine can آپ stop? I was begging Jackson, it hurt so much. Okay, look take this backpack, it has food, water, change of clothes, and everything.
No Jackson, I can't take that from you. I told him as I sat back up. Well, I am tellig آپ to so take. Jackson کہا in a grown up tone. So I took the backpack. Thanks for everything. How come آپ want to help me? I asked Jackson. Because I not like everyone else, I don't think آپ have done anything wrong, آپ just want to be free. Jackson said. I wish that there was مزید people like you. I told him. Wow, it's Taylor! The guy کہا as he walked closer to Jackson and I. I hopped off the میز, جدول and started jogging towards the door. Taylor, it's okay he is a friend. I had my hand on the door and turned around. Wow, I can't believe I am face to face with someone that the cops are after. Then he really saw why I was in here with Jackson, dude what happen to your face? He asked. She got in fight. Jackson told him. Taylor this is my friend Jesse. Hi Jesse, it nice to meet you. I told him with my hand out so he could shake my hand. None of those rumors are true. Jesse said. What rumors? I asked. Well, they say آپ that آپ are armed and dangerous. Jesse said. Hahaha I'm not dangerous but I am
armed. I told them. I pulled my gun out to دکھائیں them. They both put there hand and took a step back. Guys, I'm no going آپ shoot you. I would never! I don't even use it. I told them I out the backpack on the میز, جدول and stuck the gun in the biggest pocket at the bottom of the backpack. Why do آپ have a gun? Jackson asked me. I don't know, I have always had it. I told them. How old are آپ because آپ don't look the age that they say آپ are? Jackson asked. I am 16, why what
age do they think I am? I asked. Wethe news thinks your 11 years old. Jesse said. Wow, why on earth would theythink that? I asked them. I don't know. They both کہا at the same time. I had my back turn towards the front door and while the front of me was towards the back door while the front of me was turned to the back door. There are some extra clothes in the backpack, go change and I will take those ہوم with me and wash them for you. Jackson said. Okay, cool thank you. I told him. Where can I change. I asked them. Follow me. Jesse said. I followed him down the hall., he showed me to a closet. Are آپ going to lock me in here and turn me into the cops? I asked Jesse. Hhahaha no I wouldn't do that. Jesse said. I went inside and found out that Jackson packed me some girly clothes. The shorts were right above my knee which was okay I guess. They weren't to short and they weren't too long. The شرٹ, قمیض was a گلابی Element, I was glad the شرٹ, قمیض wasn't neon pink. JAckson also gave me a one-peice bathing suit. It was a speedo, it was navy blue with light blue stripes down the side. I quickly got changed. I opened the door a little bit, I was scarred that I would hit Jesse in the back if he was standing infront of it. Wow, آپ look like a girl, no offence, and آپ will blend in with your age. Jesse said. If I wanted to blend in with my age I would be skinner and I would have to wear a 2peice bathing suite. I said. I was standing on his left. Jesse who is here? I asked him. Its my boss! Jesse کہا panickly. Your boss is walking this way? I asked him. Yeah, umm... Out of blue Jesse started kissing me! When he tells me to quiet put your head down like your embarrassed. Jesse wispered in my ear. Thankfuly I had on my hat so when I looked down he wouldn't see my face. I had never been kissed on the lips before. It felt odd but so right. I heard the dude cleear his throat so I looked down. Uhh Hi sir. Jesse said. Jesse I don't want آپ to be makingout on your job, that can wait till after your job. Sorry, sir. Jesse said. Then the boss dude walked away. Sorry about that, I panicked and didn't know what else to do. Jesse said. Its okay, aleast I didn't get caught. I told him. Jackson cam around the corner and کہا " did I just hear him say don't make-out on your job hours?" Uhh, yeah, I panicked and I didn't know what else to do. Jesse told Jackson. I could feel myself blushing, I couldn't help. Taylor آپ better go, we don't want to have that seen all over. Jesse کہا jokingly. Haha your right. Can I slip out the back door? I asked. Yeah no problem. Jackson said. Bye see yall later. I told them Bye. BYe Taylor, they both کہا at the same time
