Chapter 1: This Place Is A Hole… Not Sure If I Wanna Go
“GET UP!!”
I wake to the sound of my mom yelling in my ear for the millionth time.
“I'm up, I'm up!” With a quick glance at the clock, which shows me I'm already late for class, I roll out of bed. I make a small effort to hurry, but I don’t really care, since I'm never gonna make it on time anyway. I rush around my slightly-disorganized-but-not-messy room, taking only about 5 minutes to be ready. I get downstairs, and grab my breakfast.
“Don’t you dare walk out that door!” My mom yells over and over again. I ignore her, put on my shoes, and unlock the door. “You aren’t going today. Get back in your room NOW!”
Because I generally consider myself a nice person, I turn to face her, like she wants. But, because I am very pissed off and tired this morning, I roll my eyes at her and put my hand on the handle dramatically.
Out of nowhere, my dad comes charging out towards me, yelling a bunch of nonsense, like disrespect, messy room, late, and a whole bunch of crap. I tune out, waiting for him to calm the hell down so I can get to class, and out of this hellhole. Holy crap, these people are so messed up!
“If you leave this house today DON’T YOU DARE EVER COME BACK!” God, why the hell is he so pissed? Last time I checked, I was the one getting yelled at for no reasonable reason. “I will slap you to death. I’d rather go to jail than let you go to school today!”
I don’t know why, but that really got to me. Tears sneak their way down my face, no matter how hard I try to fight them back. Yet, even in that moment, I know what he said made absolutely no sense.
This isn’t the first time this happened, them getting mad at me and keeping me in the house for the day with absolutely no solid reason. But this IS the time that I decide I’ve had enough of this, and will do what I want. I'm sick of being afraid, and I have nothing to lose.
“FINE!” I yell as loud as I dare into his face, which wasn’t really that loud.
I was crying so hard, but I felt so angry along with the hurt. I push past him, opening the door.
“So I won’t come back! I'm not happy here anyway, and it’s obvious you guys don’t want or need me. So BYE!” I slam the door as hard as I can behind me.
I head to school, because I have nowhere else to go, and because hopefully it would make me feel a little bit better, or at least more… like me, like normal. I lock myself in the washroom until I calmed down and look normal… or, at least, presentable. By the time I get out, it was just in time for second block, so it was kind of a perfect timing. One of the things I consider myself pretty good at is acting, so I got through the rest of the day without much questioning. My friends, well, they either didn’t notice or didn’t care.
By my fourth block English, I feel a lot more like myself. My teacher, who usually has the best topics for our writing inspirations announced today’s topic: What Our Parents Do for Us/ How Important Our Parents Are to Us. That was the point where it was just all too much. I really hate to do this, because it was rude and I'm not normally a rude type of person, but I really don’t want to disrupt the class too much, and this is the smallest way I could achieve what I need. I just pack up and leave, ignoring the shower of questions from my teacher. At my locker, I unpack the useless stuff from my bag, keeping only what would help me survive, like money and music. I even leave my phone behind, since it could be tracked and that wouldn’t be a good way to end this. Just before I leave, I decided to write a letter to my teacher, apologizing and explaining broadly what happened. I take the bus, heading to the one place I knew that would accept kids in situations like me: DOWNTOWN.
