Part 12~ I will never let you go
As always, sorry for the misspelling and grammatical errors. I am working on it

Shawn
"Shawn watch out!" she yelled and pointed in front of us.
I didn't notice, but the car had taken us to the wrong lane. A big car was driving towards us and the honk echoed in my ears.
My heart raised faster and I didn't know what to do. It was like someone pushed on the off-button. The light of the car in front of us was bright in the dark and the honking was aggressive. Is this the end? Are we gonna die?
I then came to reality and turned to the right lane and the car hitter the front edge of our car.
I stopped the car on the edge of the road, and it felt like my heart was going to pop out of my chest. "Oh my god, Harper are you okay?" I asked in panic and looked at her. Her chest was falling and rising at a quick speed.
She didn't answer. She just opened the car door and started to walk along the road. "Harper, get in the car, now!" I poked out my head through the car window and watcher her walking away with her arms crossed. "No!" she yelled and looked back at me. Tears were streaming down her face and I felt guilty for all of this. We could have died because of me.
I opened the car door and started to jog after her. "Harper, wait up!" "Leave me alone Shawn! I don't want to see you" she cried out and started to run.
I ran after her "Harper please" "I said, go away!"
Since I have much longer legs then her I was quicker than her. I grabbed her arm and spun her around so we were facing each other. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her in for a hug.
"Don't touch me, Shawn! Let go off of me!" she shouted and hit my chest with her hands, trying to pull herself out of my arms.
"You can hit me as many times and hard as you want. But one thing is clear, I will never let you go"
She stopped hitting me and cried into my chest. I placed my hand on the back of her head and pulled her closer to me.
"I'm sorry for all of this. I'm sorry for putting you into this situation. I'm sorry that I am pushing you too much. But I just want you to remember me again" One tear escaped my eye and rolled down my cheek.
I want to kiss her, I really do. But I can't. Her arms carefully wrapped around my waist and her breathing got calmer. I rested my chin on top of her head and ran my fingers through her hair.
"Let's get home, shall we?"
She looked up at me and nodded her head. I wiped off the tears from her cheeks before we walked our way back to the car and drove home.
Harper
I woke up early in the morning and I couldn't fall back to sleep. I just spun around under the white sheets. Thought about everything that has happened and how everything could go so wrong.
I went out of bed and put on some workout clothes. It was a military green workout set.
I sneaked out to the living room so I wouldn't wake up Shawn. When I saw him sleeping on the couch I couldn't stop smiling.
He was sleeping on his stomach, the sheet has slid down to his lower back, his hair was messy, his arms were folded so his hand was hiding under the pillow. And his back muscles popped out at his upper back. And lightly snores left his lips.
I wrote a little note and put it on top of the counter in the kitchen so he easily can see it.
Good morning!
I am going out for a little run, but I won't be out long, so you don't have to worry. I'll be back in an hour.
//Harper
The sun was on its way up and the light blinded my eyes. I looked in which direction I should run but I just ran in one way and hopefully I will remember the way back.
It was lovely to get some fresh air before the streets are coming to life. I ran past a few cafes and coffee shops, and the workers were preparing the outdoor seating. They looked at me with a friendly smile when I ran past them and I continued down the street.
I have been out for one hour now and I was running my way home, I thought. I ran into one street that I thought was the right way but as further into the street I got, I realized that it was the wrong way. Instead of turning around and run the same way back, I took right and thought that I might come out to the right street again.
But I didn't.
I felt the panic starting to come over my body and I just wanted to cry. How can I get lost? I have never got lost before.
I took up my phone and called for help.
I sat on the curb and waited for help when a car pulled up in front of me. I pushed myself up and got into the car.
"Thank you so much mum" I said and wiped off the tears from my cheeks. "Of course hun. Why were you even out alone? Do Shawn really let you go out alone?"
"No, he was still asleep and I couldn't sleep so I went out for a run"
She looked at me from top to toe and sighed. She stretched her hand to the backseat and pulled out a shirt and gave it to me.
"Put this on" I looked down at the shirt on my lap and then up at mum "Why?" "Because you can't go around and look like that. You look like a slut"
What she said made me choked. I put on the shirt in silence and didn't say anything else.

She parked in front of our house. "This isn't Shawn's apartment" I looked at my mum and she just grabbed her purse and opened the car door. "I know. But I never said that I would drive you back to Shawn. When I sad 'I'll drive you home' I meant home. Not, Shawn home"
She jumped out of the car and walked to the porch. I sighed and was going to text Shawn when I saw that my phone was dead. "Ugh great," I said to myself and jumped out of the car.
Shawn
I saw the little note that she had left on the kitchen counter and she said that she was going out for an hour. But the problem is, I don't know when she went out or how long she has been out.
I tried to call her but she never picked up. Maybe she doesn't hear, or maybe she didn't have her phone with her?
When it has passed 3 hours and she still doesn't pick up when I call her. I started to get worried. What if something has happened to her? What if she got lost? What if she went home to Casey?
A lot of thoughts spun around in my head, so I had to call Casey to see if Harper was with her but she wasn't.
I quickly walked to the door to go out and search for her. And when I had put on my shoes, the door opened and there stood Harper.
I felt relieved and mad at the same time. Relieved that she is okay, but mad that she never answered my calls and that she didn't tell me where she was.
"Where the hell have you been?" "I was out for a run, then I got lost and my mum picked me up"
She pushed off her shoes and walked past me. "Wait wait" I shook my head in confusion. "You called your mum, but not me?" I walked up to her and stood now in front of her.
"Yeah" she shrugged her shoulders. "Why did you call her and not me, huh?" "I was worried that you would be mad at me" she looked down on the floor. "Why would I get mad at you? I am mad at you now because you didn't tell me where you were. And that you called your mum of all people!" I raised my voice a little bit.
"I'm sorry. My phone died. So I couldn't call you and tell where I was" she walked into the bedroom and I followed her.
"What are you doing?" I asked and watched her pull out the suitcase, that is laying under the bed and put in into the bed.
"Packing," she said and walked to the closed and took down her clothes. "For what?"
"I'm leaving"
