A few days Ago

Delilah's P.O.V

   As I took in the cool morning air of the harbour in my home town sea village, for the first time in what I could say my whole life here I felt a better emotion than my usual at best content. I shivered a the feeling I could only really name antisipation. Im finally going to get out of here. Today being a great milestone birthday for me, I am no longer at an age where my mother can keep me under her thumb, constantly pulled back by chains. She's so mystirious. All I know about my past befor here is that my dad ran off with some slut befor my mum found out she was expecting me and the grandperants I am missing were dead befor my birth. I know that I havent lived here all my life because of some of the locals. They would tell me how much ive grown evrey time I see them since the first time they saw me when I was three years old.

My mobile buzzed from my back pocket. Turning away from the harbour and heading up the lane towards home I ansered Its cal, swinging the over flowing groceries bag in time with my stride.

"Err...Hello?" I asked confused at who would be calling me. I had only seen my mum minutes befor when she gave me the shopping list to go to the corner shop with the typical and oh so familiar speach of not to talk to anyone and to go strait there and back. Jeez she is so suffercating.

"Delilah! Deilah! Oh honey I was worried sick..." my sobbing mother cried. Believe it or not this is a weakly routean and happens evrey time I go to get the groceries.

"MUM!" I shouted out exasperated and down right fed up of her petty behaviour. "You sent me to get the groaceries remember?"

"I know baby but I was worried sick, you've been gone so long and I was so scared something could have happened to you because you just a..."

"GOD DANG IT TO HELL MUM!" I bellowed down the line. Her babeling was silenced by my out birst leaving us in empty silence. "Im not a baby any more, Im eighteen now by law an adult with as much rights as you. You have to stop suffercating me. You have to give me some space."

"But baby I love you so much."

I suddenly felt bad for yelling at her. "I know mum, I love you to but you have to give me some space now."

"Alright. Okay baby...I'll try." she sniffed.

"Thankyou mum. I'll be back in a minute okay?" I sighed.

"Okay, baby I love you-" I flipped my phone off ending her speak befor she could pull that trick again. I so wanted to escape out of this over sized cage and have dreamed and waited for this day since I really was a kiddy.

Thats why tonight me and my best friend Robbie are going on a lesiuer tour over to old U.S.

Technecually I am running off to america.
