Hideaway

A New Life

I opened my eyes and saw that it was morning. I remembered everything that had happened. I'm on a bus to Nashville, Tennessee. I look out the window at the scenery. We were on a highway. I saw a sign that said 30 miles to Nashville.

I sigh and take out my headphones. I listen to I Miss You by Blink 182.

The bus comes to a stop. As I get off, I notice another girl around my age getting off the bus too. She had purple/blue hair, wearing a Panic! At The Disco shirt, black skinny jeans, and converse. She looked at me and smiled.

"Hi I'm Kayla!"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Siena."

"So why are you taking a bus ALONE to Nashville?"

"I, uh, kind of ran away."

"Oh gosh."

"Yeah. Anyways, why did you travel on a bus to Nashville?"

"My aunt lives here. My mom kicked me out, but my aunt invited me to live with her."

Woah.

"Why did you get kicked out?"

"My mom is really conservative, I dyed my hair, got a nose piercing, and a tattoo without her permission."

I laughed.

We both decided to walk to a nearby Starbucks. We talked for a while. I told her about my mom and how I was being abused.

"Do you have a phone?"

"I didn't want my mom to track me. All I have is an iPod Shuffle thing."

"Do you have anywhere to stay?"

"No, but I'm planning to stay at a hotel."

She started looking through her purse and pulled out an old phone. "Here use this. We can keep in touch, and if you need anything, just text me." She said.

I took the phone and stared at it. It was an iPhone 5. "Are your parents rich?!"

"Kinda. Not super rich though."

"Wow. Thank you."

"Do you need me to drive you to a hotel?"

"If you don't mind."

A lady in her mid-40s came up to us and hugged Kayla. She explained my situation to her aunt. Her aunt gave me a look of sympathy and told us to get into her car. She drove to a hotel and told me she would pay for my first few nights. She also told me the directions to her house if I needed anything. I thanked her and went up to my room.

It was a REALLY nice room. Everything was spotless, and fancy for a cheap hotel.

I can't believe I'm here. I can't believe someone here actually cares about me. Wow. It's crazy. One thought occurred to me. Where would I go to school? How will I get around? How will I live?

Kayla seems pretty badass tbh
