A Night In The Woods

It's 12 pm when I am driving down the cold wet road. A tear falls from my eye and down my cheek. I knew that if I came back to Meadows Falls I go under the spell and just get my heart broken again. Being 21 and still falling for the same games. I felt so stupid. I needed to get out of this town right away. 3 agonizing hours later I started to get a little tired. I had 300 more miles left I wasn't going to make it out of town tonight. I saw a sign that said Hotel Next Exit.  I follow the sign. The hotel was 5 minutes away from where I was but it was in the woods. I was terrified of the woods. The woods brought back a bad childhood memory from when I was in a car crash with my parents. My mom and my dad were fighting and my dad lost control of the wheel I flew out the window but my parents car rolled into the woods and fell into a lake. It took people 2 weeks to find me. It took the cops 2 years to find my mom and dad's car.But they didn't find my mom and dad. Still to this day there is a little part inside of me that thinks they are still alive. Every single time I even looked at a woods it bought back memories. I swear to never step foot in the woods but I had to break that promise I couldn't stand another 30 minutes without sleeping let alone 3 hours. I pulled up to the Hotel the sign said Forks Inn. I walked into the lobby and no one was there. I rang the bell. Still nobody came. I finally gave up and thought that I sleep in my car. I turned around open the door. The last thing I remember hearing was," Hi baby girl we've missed you."
