that girl

The Start Of My New Life

I really hope I did.

I've never had a friend, but I know not to get my hopes high. This may never get anywhere as I think it will but really, I never know.

It might just be for tonight. I have to remember I don't know this lady at all.

I just know her name and that she seems really nice.

Let's hope this goes well for me.

The lady sits down and tries to talk to me. I'm scared. I have no idea what to say or how to act. I've never been around anyone new. Ugh this will be interesting.

She starts the conversation. She's says her name is Kali and she's 23 years old and new to the city. She also asks me why I was out so late, so my first thought was to tell her I got lost walking home from a friend's house.

So thats what I said to her.

I've never told anyone the truth before, especially a stranger.

I wasn't sure if I should even tell the truth to why I was out so late with my bag looking like a homeless person.

Maybe I'll tell her as time goes by, but thankfully she didn't ask anymore questions.

She looked at me and went to speak again. She said there were blankets and pillows in the guest room and told me she'd show me where it was.

I got up from the couch and Kali showed the way.

We go into the room and she said "Here it is. Make yourself comfortable and feel free to get anything to eat or drink from the kitchen."

I thanked her as I was getting ready to change. She told me where the bathroom was so I decided to get a quick shower and head to bed for a good night's rest, finally.

I told myself I'm safe now and slowly fall asleep.

The next morning, I woke up to the sun pouring through the window. I stretched out my arms and yawned.

I'd say that was the best sleep I'd ever have. I was glad. Normally, I got woken by my dad yelling at me, telling me to get my stupid butt out of bed and clean the house.

Before Bethany woke up at 12pm in the afternoon cause, reminder, she's the golden child and never had to do a single thing in her life because daddy never let her. Made me do it all.

Because I was the worthless, no good for nothing, piece of crap, as he always said.

But, oh well. No need to think about them now. I'm on an adventure and I can't wait to see where it takes me from here.

Hopefully, I'll find a job and make money to get my own place at some point. To make a better life for myself so I can happy and proud of myself for the very first well, second time of my life.
