My life #1

August 14, 2022

I finally stopped running a couple of hours ago and had stopped at a hotel. Thankfully I had enough money to stay a couple nights till my friend Emily is available to pick me up and take me to Olivia's house after I stay at her house for a couple days. Olivia says she has to finish decorating the guest bedroom for me to come. I told her it was fine but she insisted that it had to be finished when I get there. She says she only needs 2 days, so I guess I am staying at Emily's house until then, but right now I am at the hotel, which Emily says she can pick me up tomorrow. "Hello, I need a room for one night!" I said to the lady at the desk. "My you look young," The lady says, " How old are you?" I look at her and told her what happened and why I was  there. She looked at me and said, "Well than!" She looked delighted, "Have this room for free, I hope you aren't afraid of heights." She gave me a key that said the very top floor. I was delighted as well so I ran to the elevator and felt the elevator go up. I dropped the suitcase right next to me and looked out the elevator window. I watched all the cars go by as I went up and up. Than I finally reached the top floor. I walked off and found my room.

When I walked in I was greeted by a beautiful room, it had blue sheets and blankets with black and white pillows. It also had a huge TV and beautiful table. I was really, really shocked. The lady at the desk gave me this beautiful room for free. It was amazing. But then, my phone started ringing. It was Emily. "Hello?" I said into the phone. "Hey! So, I won't be able to pick you up tomorrow." Emily said.  I was shocked. "Why?" I said. "My car broke down!" She said. "And my mom said she won't be able to pick me up to go to you tomorrow." I was even more shocked. "When will be the closest time you could pick me up?" I said. Waiting for an answer. Than Emily said, "Please hold," And I could hear her footsteps walking away from the phone. A few minutes later she came back to the phone. "Friday." I was shocked. "That's in 4 freaking days!" I said. "I know," She said, "But don't worry, you have your credit card on you right?" I thought for a moment. "Yes I do." I said. "Okay, hold on, I will call you back." She said and hung up. I put the phone down and walked to the bed and put my face into the pillow. Then a few minutes later I got a call back. I answered and didn't say anything. "Okay, I just put enough money for you to stay at the hotel for 4 more days." She said. My face lit up. "Oh thank you Emily!" I said. I looked at the clock. "I am going to go to the Cracker Barrel down the street, bye!" I said. "Bye!" Emily said. I hung up and walked to the elevator and went down into the lobby.  Then I remembered that I had to book the 4 days longer that I would be here, so I walked up to the woman. "Excuse me, I just found out that I have to stay a few more days, so can I buy more days I can stay here." The woman looked up and said, "How long young lady?" She held a hand out, "Until Friday," I said and gave her my card. "All done, have a good day." She said.

I thanked her and ran out the door and to Cracker Barrel. I am so glad I escaped, I thought. I smiled and entered the lobby. "Hello, I would like a table for one please." I said to the man. "Okay, follow me." He said. I followed him to a table with 2 chairs. "Thank you." I said as he walked away. I grabbed my phone an noticed that I had almost 15 messages from my mom. Saying that she was going to track my location if I didn't come home. Thankfully I had turned off tracking after I went home. But then she started calling me. I let it ring out then when after it finally stopped ringing I quickly blocked her from every site that she could use imaginable. I relaxed back in my chair. Then a old woman with a familiar face showed up to take my order, but then stopped. "Katie?" She said. I recognized the voice and quickly realized who it was. "Grandma?" I said. "Hi honey, where's your mom?" Grandma said. I looked down really quick. "Was she abusing you again?!" When I looked up. I was in shock. I had never seen Grandma so angry.

After I had explained to Grandma and ate I went back to the hotel with Grandma with me. I showed her around my room and explained how nice Emily and Olivia were to help me. After she stayed for a little she left and I went to bed.
