Lindsay's POV.
"Hello. Welcome to papain airports, how may I help you?"
"I need to book a flight to New York," I said. My head is throbbing like crazy and the only way I could get out of that ugly house was to tell my mom that I'm going to New York for a school trip. Surprisingly, she bought it, but I have to be back in a week.
Good enough for me.
"How many people?" The airport lady asks.
What? I don't know her name.
"Just one, me."
"Our next available flight is tomorrow only if you're a one person passenger."
"Got it." I tell her, nodding, even though I'm talking to the lady over the phone. A crappy phone too by the way. It's still a flip phone for crying out loud!
"Name?"
"Lindsay Higgs."
I tell her my information and my flight is at 6pm tomorrow. That's not too bad. I eat my usual dinner, which just consists of microwaved food. I don't usually eat with my 'family' mostly because I have a perverted brother who displays porn every time I see him, and my mom never provides for me, I do everything by myself.
Sighing, I take out my laptop, my only pure enjoyment. I just watch lame YouTube videos to pass the time and force myself to eat this nasty food so I'm actually healthy.
"Lindsay," a voice says, "Lindsay!" Oh goody it's Xavier, my stepbrother.
"What!" I snap as his drunken figure comes in.
"Go downstars. And nextt time, answer me r-right away." He says groggily and I just push him out.
"Mom, you need something?"
"Yeah. Have you booked your flight yet for New York?"
"Yeah," I respond.
"You have a week." She says. "Although I wish you wouldn't come back." She mutters, yet I still hear her.
"Maybe I won't!" I say, raising my voice every second. What kind of parent does she think she is?
"Good, I never liked you anyways." She hisses, and I run upstairs before she sees me cry.
I hate my life.

"So your going away for sure?" My beys and only friend Vivian asks me.
"Yeah... I don think I can handle it here. She acts as if I'm not even her daughter for crying out loud! So maybe I could stay there. I will bring all my savings and-"
"I know Linds. You deserve better. Just know that I'll miss you! Honestly, you have to visit me. And call me every night."
"Of course Viv."
I can't believe I'm actually doing this.
