EMMA'S POV:: I rolled out the 'runaway' sheet out onto my bed and made a checklist.
1. Money
2. Find somewhere to go
3. Pack
4. Get there
I tapped my chin with the pencil and thought of the places I could go. Charlie probably wouldn't be able to take me, I don't have any friends to take me and I don't know any other relatives who could or would be willing to get me out of this house. My mind popped to the only relative who respects me, Josie. My "cousin" Josie lived in New York City, a place far enough from London that Mr. Walker couldn't follow me. I decided to call Josie right away. After a couple of rings, I didn't think she'd pick up but she did and she sounded tired.
"Josie?" I asked timidly.
"Hey, darlin', how's life over in London?" I've always loved how she called me darlin'.
"It sucks, to be honest. I was wondering if you could do me a favor," I waited for her to say something.
"What's that, darlin'?"
"I was wondering if you could take me in. Mr. Walker is drunk and Mrs. Walker is gone for the next few months and I'm scared that he's going to really hurt me." I was starting to cry now, realizing that I was in danger from Mr. Walker.
"Of course, darlin'," she replied.
The plan was set.
