Run Away

Chapter 1: It's Time

"Those who are the hardest to love, need it the most"

"Leave now" - This is what I'm telling myself for the past month but never actually get enough courage to do it. I never listen to myself, I always do what others tell me to.

Today though, I will. I have decided. My 'family' isn't the place for me or my little sister, Rosie. I always found it weird and mysterious how my sister and I look alike but totally different to our parents. Long,slick,black hair and tanned skin belongs to us, unlike our parents who are pale and have a completely different type of hair. That's not all, nothing is the same, as well as our character, we're quiet, they're loud, we're creative, while they usually decide to take it easy and do things the most simple way there is.

Anyway, I'm taking her with me because I'd have to be an evil monster to leave her here. Even though it is going to be way harder with an extra person to manage the long journey, all the way from Michigan to New York City but I'm doing this. This is the day, I have enough strength to do this, something that seemed so impossible, is happening today.

I think my family is pathetic. My dad is an alcoholic and all my mother does is stay out late. They don't care about us at all. They fight, they scream, sometimes during night time and Rosie comes tiptoeing silently to my room, hot tears pouring down her face. She's terrified of them. Not going to lie, I am too myself. I can't let Rosie grow up in this horrible environment, I have to be a good big sister.

I've been planning this for a while. There's also the bad side of it all. I have to leave my bestfriend behind...But, we've come up with a decent idea that should work. So since, her parents hate living in Michigan, we thought that once I settle in in Nyc, find a school, she'll try and persuade her parents to move. It's going to take a while as her parents aren't that flexible when it comes to moving homes and work but trying won't bring us into a worse situation than we already have. We have nothing to lose.

Alongside the money I took a few essentials, that people normally pick up for a road trip. This won't last us very long, but it will have to do for the journey and a few days at least.

We'll be leaving at day time, pretending to 'go shopping'. Our parents won't care anyway, pretty sure they want us gone. I'm frightened and excited at the same time. Well, the best I can do is keep a positive mind! That's going to be challenging...but I'm going to do it. If I don't lose faith and strength then we're going to get through this. A better life is out there somewhere, waiting for us to approach it.
