I went of to the postoffice with tears in my eyes and dropped off the package with the letter and sent it to my family. Most likely they will not understand why I am doing this but to be completly honest they are better off without me. Now they can be the perfect family with 3 perfect sons, perfect husband, and perfect wife, no daughter needed.
Once I got back to the boarding house I started to pack for the new life that awaits me in London, even though it took me awhile to actually start packing. Once I started packing it made it all so real that this was it. I wasn't going to have a family anymore and I was going to completly change once I got to London so that my family wouldn't be able to find me like I know they would try to do. But I have to keep telling myself that this is what's best and it's what I have to do.
Next Day
Today was the day that I was leaving to go to London and although I should be happy beyond belief, today was also the day I would leave my family behind me and be completly on my own. I wish this was easier to do but it's not. The package and letter I sent them will arrive the day before I was suppose to arrive back home in Australia so at least that way they doen't have to wait around for me and they can just start to move on.
"Flight BA2215 to London now boarding" was annonce at the LAX airport. It was my last possible chance to back out of leaving my family and to stay the true me. Once I got to London I was changing my name, leaving my family, and going after a dream I'm not sure if I want anymore... But hey that's how the story of the runaway twin goes.
