The sun slips behind the horizon as I stare blankly ahead of me. I haven’t moved since Chris walked away, leaving me stranded alone with no way to contact any because I’d left my cell in his car.

I sat there as the night turned black. No one would find me here, and I didn’t want anyone to. The night was warm and the soothing sounds of the beautiful wilderness lulled me to sleep.

I wake the next morning stiff and disorientated. I glance around me and see something laying in the grass a few feet away. I walk of and pick up my cell. I open it and a note falls to the ground.

Your family is worried about you. They yelled at me, but I told them you wanted to be alone and I knew where you were and you were safe. That’s when I realized you had no way of contacting them… So I came back to talk, but you were asleep and I couldn’t bring myself to disturb your peaceful slumber. Call me when you can.

Immediately, I dial Chris’ number.
“Hello?â€? He says groggily.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you…â€? I say.
