A Story About Life

Stacy goes out

It was early in the morning. I heard my phone ring and as I picked it up I heard my mum come home. I got up and placed my right ear to the door and heard my mother's steps getting closer to my door. I quickly ran to my bed and pretended to be sleeping. She opened the door and walked towards the left side of my bed starring down at me. I got a few muttered words which were "..I don't want you to suffer.."
This caused shivers down my spine. As she closed my door I got up and just sat there, rewinding the words in my head. I left the thought and went back to bed but the thought eventually came back.

Monday morning, 6:45 a.m
I was rushing to my bathroom quickly scrubbing my teeth before the bus gets here. But the moment I was taking a few steps towards the door, my head began to just thunder in pain. This lasted a few minutes but I ignored it and ran out my door.

As I walked inside the school I received sharped stares at me. These stares always some how hurt me in some way. I always felt like I'm not wanted. I rushed up towards my classroom and just pulled out my book and attempted to hide the tears streaming down my face. I tried to ignore the thoughts about not being wanted, but the more I tried to ignore it the more tears flooded my face. My friend Kathryn, who just walked in the classroom noticed my eyes all red and puffed from all the crying, walks up to me and sits down looking me dead in the eyes.
"Who?! Tell me who did this to you?" I quickly remembered that the last time I cried this much in class Brian had slapped me by the lockers. He has bullied me ever since grade 6. Usually him and his buddies called me every name in the book and liked pushing me to the brick walls of our school.
"Was it Brian? You know we should really tell a teacher or your mother about this."
"NO, no.. We can't plus I'm only crying because of my allergies. Its just since its spring..you know. They make my eyes cry"
"I don't buy it Stacy,...meet me after school at our usual spot."
I nodded and proceeded to look down at my book.

It was later in the day and I waited on the swings in our neighborhood. I saw Kathryn walking towards me with a bag on her back. She placed it on the floor and joined me on the swings.
"Hey, um I've been thinking. Life here in this town, it's not worth it. It hurts just to walk outside. I've decided I'm.. I'm going to leave with Ryan.. I just wanted to tell you goodby-"
"No, I'm going with you. I can't live here anymore. It reeks of assholes and I can't stand breathing even the air here. I'm going with you"
" you know someone told me, a friend is an ass that just wants to stick out"
We both laughed at that remark and I signed to my house. We both walked inside normally making sure my mum was in the kitchen of course I lead her up to my room. I graved my bag and stuffed it with clothes and money. I quickly snuck into my mums room and took $200 dollars. I whispered to myself "I'll pay you back mum"
Kathryn left to wait in her car 3 houses ahead, as I wrote a note. Tears came down, I felt a twist in my stomach. I started to rethink what I was about to do. I just kept on thinking you can do this... This is what you wanted..no regrets,live life to the fullest..
I left the note on my bed and snuck out my window. Climbing down the tree I gave a last look at my room. Rewinding my memories when dad was still here.
I miss him, life wasnt the same after he left us..
I ran inside the car and saw Ryan in the back seat and Kathryn waiting in the passenger side of the signaling me to drive. I immediately realized how sleepy they looked. They must of had quite a night at linseys place..
I got in the car and Kathryn began to say "So long suckers, not planning to come back. Okay Stacy you just look at the road and don't bother looking back"
I nodded and began to drive towards the interstate. Next stop L.A.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°I have been driving for a while, I looked down at my watch and saw that it was fifth teen passed 8. I began thinking about mum, my little sister Hailey, how she fights cancer. Mum always looks for multiple jobs just to help her recover. It hurts her mentally sometimes. She was diagnosed with depression after we found out Hailey had cancer. Mum has been down these few weeks after the doc told us that Hailey... Didn't have much time left. Just thinking this caused tears. I turned to look at Kathryn and she was asleep. I looked at the mirror to see Ryan asleep too. I kept looking forward to the road and kept thinking about my life back in Oregon. All the bullying, Hailey crying in my arms yelling " I don't want to die". Just thinking that I won't be there at her death bed to say my finial goodbye. I felt my arms shaking and my vision turning fate. The thoughts rushing all over my head causing an immense head ache. I heard Kathryn yell out "STACY A TRUCK IS DRIVING TOWAR-"......

Stacy's Mum P.O.V
I woke up to grave some coffee. I sat on my couch and switched on my T.V to the news. It was reporting coverage on an accident with 3 dead run away teens. I felt bad for their mothers. I called out for Stacy to come down stairs for breakfast. I called once, twice but she didn't answer. I headed upstairs to knock on her door.
No answer.
As I was walking inside I said "Alright sleepy head its time for-" I noticed a note on the bed. I read it. 
Dear mum, life in this town isnt the one i was meant to live. Im leaving and dont try to find me. I will return in 15 years to see you once more. But if i dont return i just want you to know i love you,
Sincerely, Stacy
I quickly thought about the news report.
