Day 1.

"Good morning Leilani," Nurse Kat said. She came in with my medicine bag.

I waved at her before grabbing the bag. I hated taking medicine but my mom wanted me to take it so, I did.

Anyways, this is Day one. The Runaway. I call it the runaway because, I'm leaving the hospital.

Let me Rephrase that... I'm sneaking out of the hospital.

"So, I was thinking today, we can go and do a little more of that activity we did-"

"No thanks Mrs. Kat. I'm good. I've had enough of those for this week."

Nurse Kat and me would always do these little activities that'll keep my blood running.

I used to like them when I was younger, but as I got older I just got less interested in them.

"Oh, ok. That's fine. I was just...asking." She said.

I smiled at her. Out of all of the nurses, Mrs. Kat was my favorite. When I was younger, if Mrs. Kat wasn't there, I would've flipped out.Nobody took my medicine, unless it was Mrs. Kat.

I took all of my medicine for the morning. She left the bag on the table and she left.

"Doctor Jacob will be in here to give you your food, and please try to eat something that's not ice cream."

"I'm not making any promises, but I'm gonna use the bathroom." I say to her. She smiled at me than left the room.

This was my chance to leave. Only lord knows how long I haven't see daylight.

For 3 months I've been stuck in this hospital. Since I've kept having seizures and blood clots, they've kept me in here. But now since I have 31 da- well now 30 days to live, I mines well take the chance.

I walked down to the bathroom with the book bag on my shoulders filled with my personal items. As I got into the bathroom, I went to brush my teeth, and washed up.

I put on my new clothes that my mom brought me for my 18th birthday a while back. I told her that she shouldn't spent money on me, instead of paying the bills that she was struggling to pay.

Of course being a mother she told me to shut the hell up, and take the outfit.

I look in the mirror and put my long brown hair in two French braids. I put my sunglasses on and my hood to my jacket on so nobody won't recognize me.

I put my head down as I walked. I got to the lobby of the hotel and walked through the double doors.

As soon as I got outside I just stood there. I can't believe I'm finally out. It feels like I've been stuck there my whole life.

"Oh, this will be great."

I took of my sunglasses and put them in my bag. "Leilani?" I turned around to see Mrs. Kat.
