I thought back to my old home, in some perspectives it was a prison, in others it was a Haven from the downsides of life.
"I lived a couple miles away actually. Home schooled, over-babied; I never really got to know the area that well. I'm an Orphan to, parents kicked it after I..I..." I stumbled over what to say.
"Ran away? Ginger filled in for me. I nodded. I guessed a lot of people in this town were. For a second it looked like Ginger was gonna press me further, but decided against it. We lay their in a silence that enveloped us like the warm caressing water's of the ocean.
It was broken by our door opening forcefully and a pair entangled with each other burst onto our floor. We stared at the man and woman as they clung to each other in an embrace of pure passion. "Oi, this is our room, get out!" Ginger shouted. The caretaker from before proceeded to walk in.
"I'm sorry Aleic-. Ginger. These two beat your price" After several minutes of swearing and holding her back, I was able to get Ginger out into the motel parking lot. She kicked rocks and dented somebody's car with her own fists before shouting one final insult towards the door.
"Are you OK?" I asked her warily. Her hair stuck up in odd clumps, and she was panting like some jungle animal. She spat on the steps of the motel before replying.
"Yah, just thought that friends came before hookers" I held her arm supportively. She shook it off and started off towards some dark alley.
"Where are you going?" I asked. Ginger spun around.
"Oi, I'm not gonna sleep on the streets," she said, then seemed to remember my situation. She groaned as her inner thoughts waged a diplomatic war over her decisions.
"Oi, alright. You can crash with me, tonight, OK?" I nodded and smiled. Ginger looked around, probably searching for a place to sleep. That's when I noticed the broken window. I walked over, Ginger behind me. I used my elbow to clear away the rest of the glass and looked inside.
"Oi, what in it eh?" Ginger asked, craning her neck to try and get a better look.
"It's a bunch of mattresses. Piled up to the ceiling." Ginger smiled.
"Perfect! Anyone around?" I shook my head, sharing her smile.
I tossed my bag down first, then crawled through the window. Ginger followed, and we walked around the mattresses, familiarizing ourselves with the layout of our new home. Suddenly I rounded a corner and came face to face with the man I had shot before.
"You!" I snarled, before noticing he had his gun back.
