I don't know how long I've been sitting here but its felt like hours, the tears have stopped but I can't seem to will myself of the floor.
My mined wonders about my life and how bad it is, I don't have a say in anything, I don't know how my life ended up this way.
I slowly rise frow the floor and walk over to the mirror, I don't recognise the who I see in the mirror, this girl has knotty hair with makeup smeared across her cheeks, the dress shes wearing is wrinkled and dirty, her eyes match how she looks.
The girl looks back the same sad expresion is plastered on both our faces, but I'm sick of feeling sad.
"Thats enough" I say to myself.
I storm over to the closet and kick my shoes of, I put on jeans, a t-shit and a hoodie a along with a pair of conversise.
I go back to the mirror and wipe of my smudged makeup removing of the evidence of last night.
"Now what" I mumble.
I look around the room and my eye catches on the trunk sticking out from under my bed, I pull it out and start pulling out all my normal clothes fitting it into it.
By the end my closet is bair and I've taken some of my jewerly.
I clip the trunk up and slide it over to the door.
"One last thing" I say.
I walk over to the bed and pull out a small box and sit it on the bed, I pull out the key and unlock the box, inside is a wade of cash, a credit card that I've been putting my fathers money into for years I lost count of how much is on it, my ID and passport and my acceptence letter to Chicago University that I applied to awhile ago.
I grab the cash and credit card and put it into my wallet, and my ID and passport into my handbag along with my acceptence letter.
I get up and walk over to my trunk but I trip catching myself last minute, I look down trying to see what it was and then I see it, the tiara I through earlier, I pick it up and twirl it around in my hand, I snap it in half and let it fall to the floor.
I grab my stuff and start wheeling it towards the door carefully opening the door I start guiding myself through the halls as quietly and quickly as possible, I quick make it to the front door but stop in my tracks when I see to dark figures standing in my way, I duck behind a small table, one of the figures I notice is my father with a cunning smirk plastered on his face, and the other is shorter not by much, Philip.
"What if your plan doesn't work" Philip asks.
"Don't worry it will" my farher says.
"Are you sure, Hayden look pretty sure of herself" he says.
"Not a problem I have sent guards to be placed to watch her as soon as possible" My father explains grabimg Philips shoulder "now come, we must celebrate".
My father leads Philip down the hallway away from the door, as soon as there gone I race towards the door, I get out and run, run as fast as I can I make it to the street and keep running, I make it to the emty train station and head over to the ticket box, the lady looks up at and roles her eyes, I slide my money into the little hole in the glass.
"I need a ticket that takes me all the way to chicago" I tell her.
"That would be the next train it arrives in a minute or so" she says as she slides me the ticket, " have a nice day" she says sarcaticly.
The train arrives and I quickly jump on and find a seat, I watch through the window as the sun rises over the small town as it gets smaller, a sigh of relif escapes me as I get comfy in my seat.
I'm finally free.
