Chapter 2

I just stood there and watched as Hanni walked away from me, feeling a tear roll down my cheek at the sight of the girl slowly disappearing in the distance. I wiped it away with my hand and took a large sip from the bottle of wiskey that I had stolen from my dad.

I checked my phone to see if my dad had already called or texted me, but he hadn't, which meant that he hadn't found out about my escape yet. I was going to be dead meat once I got home and so I decided to not go home for as long as possible. I should be able to enjoy at least one more day of freedom here right? Before he sends me away to that shit school, to live with people I saw maybe once or twice in my life when I was a baby. I still couldn't believe that he would just dump me somewhere in a foreign country, with people that I didn't even know. Well, actually, maybe I could believe it. Why would he deal with me when he could also just get rid of such a nuisance. That man only cared about himself. Narcissistic piece of shit. He didn't even care about how much he was hurting me with this. He was literally going to take everything away from me. My friends, my home, just ripped away from me like that. I was never going to forgive him for this and he'd be a fool if he thought for even a second that I was going to try my best and do well there.

I scoffed at those thoughts as I leaned back on the large headstone behind me. I reached into my pocket for a cigarette before I put it between my lips and lit it and I felt myself relax a little as I blew the smoke out.

For a moment I just stood there, thinking of where I should go and what I should do next. It was only a little past two in the afternoon and I wasn't planning on returning home any sooner than the evening, so I still had some time to kill and I wasn't going to spend it smoking and drinking in a graveyard.

I decided to just continue my goodbye tour and made a little list of friends I still had to see before I'd go, which, as underwhelming as it was, was a total of three friends who all happened to live under the same roof. That much for the tour.

I put my sunglasses back on and started making my way out of the cemetery and to my friends' house, which took an agonizing 20 minutes of walking.

Once I arrived I knocked on the door, since the doorbell was still broken, and after about a minute I heard someone coming and soon the door opened, revealing a face I hadn't seen in a while.

"Hey, Dani, long time no see." the boy said smiling.

"Hey Chan, is Lily home?" I asked. My friend Lily lived here with her two friends Chan and Felix. When it came to Chan and Felix, I wouldn't exactly have called us friends, as we were not that close, but we were more than acquaintances as well, since we did get along.

"Yeah, she's upstairs working on a new recipe." he said as he let me in, closing the door behind me and I took off my boots.

"Is that Danielle?" I heard a voice I recognized to be Felix' shout from the living room.

"Yes, it's me!" I shouted back with a smile.

"Hi Dani!" is all he yelled.

"Hi!" I yelled back at him before I went upstairs to my friend's room while Chan returned to the living room where he had undoubtedly been playing videogames with Felix before my arrival.

Once I got to her room I knocked on the door.

"Come in!" I heard her yell from the other side of the door and so I opened it and went in.

"Dani! It's so good to see you! You could not have come here at a better time. I have just finished my new recipe. I just have to wait for the gummies to set now and then you can be my personal taste tester." she said excitedly as she got up to give me a hug.
