A tragedy? Or is it?

Sneaking out

After the hug my mom and dad started to watch the news on the tv. Apparently, a big storm was coming soon. My parents started to get prepared for the storm, so they were walking all over the house.

It was hard getting their attention when they were working but eventually I did.

"Mom, dad is it ok if I go out alone for a little bit?" my parents then looked at me as if I was crazy. Their eyes where wide and I could tell they were thinking about how I could ask such a ridicules question.

"Sweetie, you know how we feel about you going out alone." my mom says.

"Ya, plus there is a big storm coming. We would be crazy if we let you out in this weather."  my dad adds.

This was it; it was now or never if I wanted to find out the truth. So, I said what popped into my mind. 

"Ok but I have some homework to work on, so is it ok if I do it upstairs in my room?"

"Of course, sweetie and if you need anything to drink don't be afraid to come down to the kitchen for some water." my mom says with a smile on her face.

I then grabbed my backpack and I started to walk upstairs but I stopped at the stairwell.

"And by the way I would prefer to be left alone so I can concentrate."

"Ok sweetie just come down every once in a while, just so we can know that you're ok. And maybe later all of us can play a board game or something." my dad says.

"Sure, we can do that sometime"

"Have fun sweetie! We love you!"

"I love you two!" I shout as I walk up the stairs.

I then went into my room, and I close the door.  I then start to start to sort through the drawers looking for stuff. I grab a flashlight and a water bottle that was on a table next to my bed. I then grab my backpack, and I lift it up and I pour all the contents of it onto my bed.

I started to pack up the water bottle and the flashlight into my backpack, the whole time I was hyperventilating. I knew that once I started my plan that there was no going back, I would have to follow it through to the end.

After I packed everything, I needed I opened the window to my room. But before I could do anything my phone in my room rang. I then went to my phone, and I picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Cass this is Fritz. I talked to my dad, and he said there is no way he is letting me leave the house alone in my condition."

Fritz dad has done everything for Fritz once the incident happened. When Fritz went blind, he has done everything for him including giving him rides to wherever he needs to go.

"Why don't you ask him to give you a ride to the library?"

"I tried that, but he said he can't because of the storm that's coming. Can you come by my house and help me?"

"Sure, I will be on my way."

I then hung up the phone and I went back to the window. I took one last look at my room then I put one foot out of the window, and I climbed out. My house is a two-story house so getting down would be difficult. 

I stared to scan around my house for anything that I could climb on or at the very least break my fall. Then my eyes fell on a tree that was right next to my house. I took a deep breath, then I jumped onto the pine tree. In that moment I almost passed out, but I opened my eyes and I started to calm down.

After climbing down from the tree, I took one last look at my house. The very same house that held my parents, the same parents that if they knew what I was doing then they would have a heart attack. But I have no choice. I knew that there was no way they were letting me out of that house tonight. I already asked them if I could go out, but they said no. I know if I don't do this then the dreams are going to get worse, and more people are going to go missing.
