I was just in the woods that I thought that I knew. My friends wanted to go back, so I told them to go, and that I'll catch up. So, a few seconds later, I changed my mind and I started up the very steep hill that they had went up. I then get out of the woods, and they weren't there! So, I start running up the hill, and I get lost. I think that I'm in a different neighborhood. But I later learn that I was in the same neighborhood, but, I couldn't recognize it. Anyways, when I come up into an intersection between 4 streets, a random old man crossing, but I didn't think that I needed his help. I'm already crying, so I tried to run after him. I caught up fairly easily, so I asked him, "Do you know where ****chase is?" (I did what I did because it was my street name) He told me that he didn't. So, I then ask him, "Do you think that you could GPS it? I'm lost, I can't find my way back..." So he did that. We started walking, and after like 10 minutes, I then recognized the fire department a little distance away. So I asked him if that was it. He said that it was. So I told him that I can find my way back now, and thanked him. He made sure that I was okay, and then walked back to his house. I started running o the street. I found it! So, I then started sprinting as fast as I could. Thank God I'm really fast! So, I then run back. My people were in the front yard. I ran into my friend's mom's arms, balling my eyes out. I said sorry for doing what I did, and she told me "Don't be sorry." So then I hug my friend. I was so upset, relieved, and scared. I mean, what if something happened to me? I didn't have my phone with me. Anyways, I'm about to start chatting with her about trying to convince her mom to keep me.

Yeah, I also found a golf ball in he woods, so if he tried anything I'd hit him where it hurts and start running/screaming.
