We Will Survive

chapter two: Andy

Dear Diary,

I'm finally leaving, I can escape. I never got there names, but I did get a location. The old apartment complex called GreenWoode. I guess this is the last time I'm writing to you Diary. I'm sorry, but I can't live like this anymore. Good bye.

Love, Andy

I push my disgustingly blonde hair behind my ear. I hate the way the blonde makes me look so young, I'm seventeen for crying out loud! Not twelve. My parents won't allow me to wear too much makeup because it is "uncivilized". Do I look like I care?

No?

Good.

I just want to be free from my parents. All I need to do is get some money. That shouldn't be too hard. I'm the Hosts daughter, I can pretty much do anything. Except for express myself the way I want.

If I stay here one more day, I swear I will go insane. Which is why I'm doing this. Sorry mom. Sorry dad. But your little girl just grew up.

I turn down another hall. And another. Left, left, right, left, right.

There it is Andy. Make this fast.

I walk up to John, the guard of my parents safe.

"John, go on your break."

"But Miss Andy, my break isn't for another half hour."

"John, go. That's an order. I'll take over, and trust me, no one is getting past me."

John chuckles. Wow thanks Johnny.

"Okay, I'll be back in a little bit. Thank Miss Andy."

I show off my perfected smile and take his place. After I see him leave, I turn and open the door.

Okay, you can do this.

I open the safe and pull out as much as I can fit into my purse, which isn't as small as you're probably thinking. As soon as I'm done. I walk back out and wait for John to get back.

I'm back in my room and grab some clothes. Black. All black. I've never felt so alive. I remove the rediculous bun from my blonde hair. My long blonde gracfully falls over my shoulders in subtle waves. Yeah, you may think this sounds like the most perfect hair on earth but its not.My hideous blonde hair does not complement my semi-tan skin. You can thank my parents for that.

My purse is full of money. $64,268 to be exact. Who would have thought? I'm prepared, I can do this. I'll wake up before dawn and leave. I'll leave to my future, to my freedom.
