Out of Time
You look up in the sky as you're running, realizing it's nighttime all of a sudden. Wasn't it just eleven? Your heart skips a beat as you get closer to the woods. You hear arguing and you know it's Dean and Natalie. You jump behind a tree t get a little more background information, since you remember nothing about why they're fighting.
"She's going to find out, nothing you do will prevent that." Natalie's voice is trembling.
"She's not going to find out anything, because you're not going to say anything."
"I have to, we can't keep this a secret anymore. You've been cheating on my best friend with like ten other girls, one of them being me."
"Well, if you're not going to keep quiet, I'm just going to have to make you." Dean lunges forward, but Natalie jumps back just in time.
"She's going to realize just how terrible you really are and you're not going to be able to stop me." Natalie starts to walk away.
"She's going to hate you forever." Dean tries to convince her to keep quiet.
"What does it matter? She already does anyway. This time, she's getting the truth."
"Fine, run away, Natalie, like she's actually going to believe you over me." Natalie turns back, a look of realization on her face.
"Becca," She starts, like she almost can't believe what's she thinking. "she was seeing someone, someone who had a girlfriend. Two weeks later, they find her body. Police say it was likely the boyfriend who killed her. That person was you." Natalie's face is as white as a ghost. She starts to back away.
"Natalie, I'm not a murderer, I didn't even know Becca."
"That's why you leered me here, so you could do the same thing that you did to Becca to me."
"I didn't do it, Nat. You have to believe me." You can't process what I'm hearing. I don't even have time to, time for Natalie is running out.
"Get away from me before I do something I'll regret." Natalie turns and starts to run.
"I didn't want it to come to this..." You hear Dean say. Your heart breaks in two as you realize everything Natalie has said is true. Dean is a cheater and a murderer. You run towards Natalie.
"Natalie, wait!" You yell, your voice suddenly becoming hoarse. Time is running out. She turns, then tries to hide the look of pure shock on her face when she sees it's you.
"Amara, I'm so sorry," She breaks down in tears in your arms, "he's going to kill me."
"We can get out of here, just follow the river bank till morning. I'll stay here." Natalie nods nervously. She starts running across the road, when you notice Dean's truck is coming. You realize that Natalie won't be able to get across in time. She's going to get hit, Dean's going to kill her...
Final Choice: Do you stay where you are or push Natalie out of the way?
