Running Away
Chapter 1: The Running Reason
I'm Alejandro and right now I'm running away from people that are going to kill me and I've been on the run for a year now.
The name "Alejandro" means "defender of man", which is pretty cool to me, so cool name but not so cool guy.
I was born in Mexico.
I was born in Mexico.
I ran away from home when I was only fifteen and I got involved with money problems so I had to borrow money from people and I never payed the money back when I borrowed so they are out to kill me but maybe I'll be safe somehow, I don't know.
Chapter 2: Old Friends
Today, I arrived in the United States and I'm in Houston, Texas. Maybe I'll hide here for a while. Maybe it will be a good place to live in.
Suddenly I saw a girl and I swear I saw her one. I said that with everybody but this is different and I know that I may know her but I don't know her name.
When I get the nerve to ask her, I go and before I know it, it's over. It's like a pinch. It's like a flu shot.
Her name was Marie. Marie. I know that name somewhere and suddenly a memory clicked in my mind.
Marie was a girl I was friend's with to kindergarten to Grade one. In Grade one, she moved to Houston because they found a good house and her mom dad found good jobs that would earn them lots of money. She moved to Houston and I never saw her again.
She was wearing blue shorts and a red shirt. A simple girl as I remember when I was a kid.
She asks what's my name and I tell her that I'm Alejandro and she realizes who I am as the Alejandro she left.
I say nothing and we leave. Well so much for that but she did give me her address and phone number so I have another chance because I will be traveling to a different part of Houston so I can surprise her.
He was a man with blue pants, a orange shirt and a serious expression.
I asked where Marie was and he said that Marie was in her room and before I can say anything, he tells me to wait a second.
A minute later, he brings me Marie.
"Hi!" she greets me.
"Hi" I say back.
"So, what are you doing here?" Marie asks.
"I wanted to know if you would like to go on a date?" I ask.
"Where is it?" Marie asked.
"At the cafe three miles from Houston or ten miles from your house" I answer.
"I know that place. Wait a second. I'm going to ask my dad." Marie says.
A minute later, she comes back with the answer.
"Yes, but I have to be back at 8:30 PM" Marie says.
"OK, can your dad drop us off?" I ask "I don't have a car."
"It's OK, I have a car." says Marie.
She opens the garage and drives the car out of garage and shows me.
She presents to me a Porsche 911 Spyter!
"That is my eighteenth birthday present" Marie says. I'm twenty now, so this car is two years old."
We drive around in it and get to the cafe and I order a bagel and Marie orders a sandwich.
While we ate our food, we talked about how she like it here and why I came here. I lied, of course and suddenly I stop talking and I sense something but before I can tell Marie, we see some people who were running towards us and are not the police but the people that I owe money to and I tell Marie to start the car.
There was a lot of damage like the wrecked-up BMWs and some of the signs but we were trying to escape the bad guys.
We are almost out of Houston and almost out of gas too, so we better get smart fast.
Suddenly I got an idea and I told it to Marie. She liked it and suddenly she stopped the car near a grove of trees. It's all part of my plan.
We go to a pair of people that look like us and Marie pays them twenty dollars.
You see, this is a tourist attraction so lots of people come here everyday and it's a good spot for me and Marie to hide in a group of people when the fake me and Marie come to the bad guys.
When the bad guys see the fake me and Marie, they chain them up and drive them away in their Lamborghini. We are safe for now.
They came at 9:00 AM, when we were going to leave, when suddenly the bad guys came though the window and locked the door.
They pointed their guns at me but Marie begged for her to be shot, not me.
Suddenly, I got my gun and shot myself and Marie bolted to the door, carrying my body to the desk and told them that there were some bad guys at her room.
The desk called the police and an ambulance and soon the police arrested the bad guys but the ambulance didn't made it in time.
Chapter 3: Date
At 5:00, I go out of my hiding spot three blocks from Marie's house and knock on the door but instead of Marie answering, it's her dad.He was a man with blue pants, a orange shirt and a serious expression.
I asked where Marie was and he said that Marie was in her room and before I can say anything, he tells me to wait a second.
A minute later, he brings me Marie.
"Hi!" she greets me.
"Hi" I say back.
"So, what are you doing here?" Marie asks.
"I wanted to know if you would like to go on a date?" I ask.
"Where is it?" Marie asked.
"At the cafe three miles from Houston or ten miles from your house" I answer.
"I know that place. Wait a second. I'm going to ask my dad." Marie says.

"Yes, but I have to be back at 8:30 PM" Marie says.
"OK, can your dad drop us off?" I ask "I don't have a car."
"It's OK, I have a car." says Marie.

I lied, of course and suddenly I stop talking and I sense something but before I can tell Marie, we see some people who were running towards us and are not the police but the people that I owe money to and I tell Marie to start the car.
Chapter 4: Almost Caught
We got into the Porsche and Marie went as fast as could but the bad guys had a Lamborghini and chased us into West Houston.There was a lot of damage like the wrecked-up BMWs and some of the signs but we were trying to escape the bad guys.
We are almost out of Houston and almost out of gas too, so we better get smart fast.
Suddenly I got an idea and I told it to Marie. She liked it and suddenly she stopped the car near a grove of trees. It's all part of my plan.
We go to a pair of people that look like us and Marie pays them twenty dollars.

When the bad guys see the fake me and Marie, they chain them up and drive them away in their Lamborghini. We are safe for now.
Chapter 5: The Sacrifice
Suddenly to our surprise, the bad guys had came back quickly and knew where were: in a hotel room but tomorrow we were going to get a move-on.They came at 9:00 AM, when we were going to leave, when suddenly the bad guys came though the window and locked the door.
They pointed their guns at me but Marie begged for her to be shot, not me.
Suddenly, I got my gun and shot myself and Marie bolted to the door, carrying my body to the desk and told them that there were some bad guys at her room.
The desk called the police and an ambulance and soon the police arrested the bad guys but the ambulance didn't made it in time.
Marie went back to her family and married to a person she liked, but I was in her heart forever. She never forgot me.
The end
