Tuesday 

Mom and dad already left for work - it's 8am in the morning and school has already started. Yesterday I called in to the school and acted as if I were my mother, telling them at I would no longer be attending. Taylor helped me transfer my grades onto the same online schooling system he uses, on the brand new laptop he bought me. I seriously cannot love Taylor more. 

At the moment I'm at the bus station. I have a giant duffle bag with me and my regular carry-on backpack. Literally everyone standing here is trying not to judge me because I'm a teenage girl with a bunch of shit with her. So far I have a few different train tickets, bus tickets, and I got all my money I had in my savings account at the bank. I feel out of place sitting here on the bench instead of sitting in math class while my teacher goes on about different formulas we went over in previous years, but I also get that it's a lot better than that. 

Yesterday after Taylor left I facetimed his friends Cameron and Nash. Damn Cameron is attractive. I also talked to his friends Jack and Jack, and all four of them are willing to let me stay over until I find a job and have enough money to get my own apartment. 


Now it's noon, and I'm on a train heading to Colorado, which then I'll take a train to Arizona, which then will bring me to California. I feel numb; I'm miles away from home and no one knows whats going on besides the guys. I also feel bad for the way I left my parents, but I just need to go. I did leave them a note about how I decided to do my own thing, but I still feel like I did something horrible. 

Anyways, there's a couple kids my age on the train so I don't feel too out of place. I've become friends with one, his name is Dillon. Dillon Rupp. It's pretty weird that we're both leaving the same place, to the same place. He told me he is Taylor's best friend, and I still can't get my mind wrapped around it. Right now he's past out next to me, so I took the opportunity to write. Cameron texted me that I can stay at his place until the Jacks settle into their apartment, since it's way too big for just two people. Well, there's Jack's girlfriend Madison there, but who cares. Seems like a lot of the guys disapprove of her. 


I have finally reached LA. The sun is relaxing; well, all of California is relaxing. Nash picked me up as soon as I stepped foot off the train, and he is literally the sweetest guy. Dillon left to go meet up some of his friends, so Nash showed me around LA and bought some dinner. I texted Taylor that I was here. My parents have been nonstop calling and texting my phone, but all I can do is shut off my phone until tomorrow. I feel generally happy.
