TW: slight mention of abuse

------------------------------------------------

It is finally the day I thought, I had been planning this day for weeks. I grab the bag with all the stuff that I think I'll need and grabbed my favorite stuffed animal, Honey. "Is this possible for a 12-year-old to run away", I think. I walked down the stairs and peek around the corner. I don't see anyone in the kitchen or the living room. So I make my way to the door knowing that my parents would never notice that I have left. I start walking for a while and start getting hungry.

I look in your bag but forgot to pack some snacks. I go looking for a store. After a while, I find one and get a few things and I get to check out. Remembering that I didn't pack any money so I start getting worried. "I don't have any money on me", I tell the cashier. "No money no stuff", the cashier told me. After he told me that I start to grab the food as I hear someone behind me say "I will pay for them". I turn around to see a lady that looked older than me wearing a white sweater, and her hair was mid-length pink, I thank the lady and grab the food.

When I get outside and sit down on the ground and start eating the food. I feel someone tap my shoulder. I turned around to see the same lady that paid for my food. "Thank you for the food again", I say to the lady. "You're welcome. What is a sweet little kid doing out here all by yourself", she said.

"Well I ran away from home", I had told her. She asks me why and I end up explaining to her. "My dad would yell and hit me and my mom would lock me in my room and not feed me for days", I had explained. While I was explaining I can see her start to cry not knowing what to do I decided to hug her. I didn't even think though I didn't know her. I thought that I could still be nice to others.
