It wasn't supposed to be like this.
Jess sat on the gound thirty feet from where she'd made, in her summation, one of the worse choices of her life. "She's gone." Jess toyed with her cell phone as she talked to herself, fingers flipping it open and closed. Click-click-click-click, again and again as if somehow she'd open it and the message at the very top would change.
NO SIGNAL. Of course it had no signal. She'd left home, left the place that had admittedly shitty reception, but it'd still worked- She'd not only left home, she'd left the universe.
And why? What for?
Because she was an idiot. Because she had a fight with her mom, who'd been right about the whole thing anyway. Jess hadn't expected to end up working a dead-end job at nineteen, either, but as far as reasons to jump through went... Great reason. Awesome reason.
Who'm I kidding? It's the worst reason that pretty much exists.
She had no ID, no papers, no computer or liscense or anything else, didn't know anyone, had no place to stay-- and she'd never see her mother again, and why, exactly? For a fight? For a fight that would've been over in a few days?
"She's gone." She said again it to herself, sucking in a breath as she tried not to cry. She pulled up her mom's entry on her phone, her face twisting, until she chucked the piece of plastic away from her, watching it bounce and the backplate fly off. "I'm never going to see her again, and why? Because I'm an idiot."
She pushed herself up to her feet, scrubbing at her eyes. There had to be a bus somewhere - what else would there be for people who came through? They couldn't just be expected to walk halfway to Canada, or anything.
Jess had taken only a step before she heard something- and she bent, picking up a rock and clenching it in her hand. "Who's there? Come out, I'm- I'm warning you, I've got a-" She swallowed hard. "Just c'mon out, alright? I won't hurt you, I promise!"
It didn't even cross her mind that maybe she shouldn't be the one making that promise.
