     After I walked in on him being naked I was in shock and we both just stood there in silence until I realized I was naked too and then I broke the silence.

Me: holy shit I am so sorry

     Before he could say anything I closed the door and got dressed without a shower and just went to bed.

    The time I woke up I had seen it was very early but I decided to get  my stuff and just walk home I can't see him today at all I just got to go and leave. I left a note saying thank you and that I walked home.

    As I ran home I wondered about living on my own or like some fresh start and I kind of always wanted to live in New York. I just there's too much stuff going on at home. I am 15 I have a fake ID so it's not like I won't be able to get a apartment. This idea is so wonderful I will do it now.

    I started to come up with a plan. When I got home I went straight up to my dad's room to wake up his new girlfriend to see if she would help but she wouldn't even wake up. So I decided to get all the money I had in my name. And I just left without my phone or anything because fresh start I am even changing my name. I wrote my dad a letter.

The letter

   Dear Dad,

I am sorry that I am doing this but I need a fresh start just know that I will be ok and when the time is right I will return. There is nothing you or mom did to make me run away, there is just to much drama going on with the divorce and the move I just need somthing brand new. Please trust me and don't call the cops as I will be fine I have enough money and a fake ID to get on my feet. I left everything behind because like I said I need a fresh brand new start. I love everything you and my mom did for me in my 15 years on this earth. Please know that I am truly sorry for doing this. Also please do not tell mom as I am having another get sent to her address. I love you with all of my heart. Goodbye dad.

Love,
Kathrine

    I put the note in a envelope and set it on his night stand. I already had sent a letter to my mom and it was now time for me to leave. Who knows what the future has in store for me but all I know is I am getting out of here.

     As I arrived to the airport I decided to book a flight for Brooklyn New York as early flight as they possibly could. And I never booked a flight back because I was gonna go to school there and I didn't actually know if I was gonna return or not.

      I sat in the airport waiting for my flight to start boarding people witch won't be for a while because my flight is in 4 hours so I decided I should get a new phone.  I decided to get a phone plan and now change my name since I need a new start. I decided to go with my fake ID. I told the person that the phone plan name is Sofia.

     After I got my new phone and a new number witch I don't see why I need that because I am not making any contact with my old life for a while.

     But I still decided to make a Instagram and that was it no other social media. I don't really like social media that much to be honest. My new name on my account was Sofia Grayson witch I just made up the last name. I had my transcript with me for my new school witch would be Grand Army. And I think I am gonna start as a freshman.

    It was time to go on the plane when I heard someone's voice that sounded familiar but I couldn't quite put my finger on who it was.

     Person: Kathrine stop you don't have to do this

    As I turn around my jaw dropped to see who was standing in front of me with another plane ticket to the same destination. 

Me: Jared what are you doing here

Jared: I followed yoy after you left my house but when I seen what you where doing I went back to my house to get me some stuff I want to go with you

Me: what

Jared: yes Sofia I want to

Me: so you know my fake my name that nice to know

Jared : look I will do the same as you I will throw my phone away and change my name

Me: but why

Jared: I have my own reasons for running away please we can share rent and we can be roommates

Me: ok fine you can go but no contacting my parents got it

Jared: got it

       We where called to get on the plane for Brooklyn New York. I couldn't believe I was actually doing this. But I think it's a good thing it's a fresh start and  I think I can just leave all the drama behind me.

      We finally where there. We had landed and I started to wonder if my Dad has found the note yet or even woke up. But that honestly didn't matter as much as I loved my family I needed to get out. I needed freedom from everything. Even though I am just 15 and Jared is just 16. I still somehow knew that we would make this work. 
As I got off the plane I finally found Jared.

    Me: hey Jared over here

Jared: oh hey Sofia what your you doing here

Me: oh shut up ok so we have a busy day today

Jared: what we have to do

Me: we have to find jobs set up  both of our bank  accounts find a apartment go to grand army to go to school witch I believe there school starts in 2 weeks

Jared: bossy much

Me: shut up oh and since we both left all our clothes at California we need to go shopping for clothes and food

Jared: ok where too first

Me: let's go find a apartment first

Jared: ok we need furniture then too when we shop

Me: dude no we will have to sleep on the floor a few nights because we don't have that much money

Jared: then how the fuck will we get clothes

Me: thrift store

Jared: ok also I was looking and I found this new apartment it has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and kitchen and a living room all for 1000 dollars a month

Me: ok that's not bad does it come with a fridge all ready

Jared: yes

Me: ok so we just split the rent we both pay 500 dollars a month

Jared: yes ok I already texted the owner of the building also this apartment is just 4 blocks away from Grand Army so we can just walk

Me: ok where do we do our laundry though

Jared: they have a laundry room down stairs

       After we got to the building we walked in and talked with the landlord and we got the key to our apartment and there was no down payment since it was August 1st and he said that rent is due the first of each month. He also said that there is no furniture in the apartment and that part is on our own.

      We went up to our apartment witch was on the 7th floor, there was a total of 15 floors. And when we went into our apartment we seen a big surprise there was a balcony. I soon fell in love with our apartment. I mean it was so nice and cheap.
