Chapter 6-

I open my apartment door and sit down at my table and look at my computer. Nothing on YouTube yet, only a couple views. No comments. No help. This was a stupid idea. No one in the right mind is going to let a teenage girl into their home. How stupid was I to believe this would happen?! God, I'm an idiot. I  watch some Netflix and then check the video again. My jaw nearly drops. A comment. The user is named OutdoorsDude17. He said:

<< Hello. I would be willing to help you out :)>>

<OMG REALLY?!>>

<<Yes. I live in Ohio, and I was wondering if that would be okay with you though...>> I sit and think. It would be farther from my parents, which is a plus. The only problem to that is that I will be to far for my brother in case he ever needs me. I would also loose my job. But then again, I have one more year of school. I could find a way to transfer my credits. I could also get a new life. A new identity. Granted, I would loose all of my friends, but I could make new ones. I'm not that awkward.

<<I guess that would be fine. Where in Ohio?>>

<<Just outside of Cinncinatti.>>

<<Sounds nice. How old are you? Just curious and for safety reasons.>>

<<I'm 24. I'm in college and away most of the time. I've been looking for a roommate for a while now.>>

<<I guess it would be alright :)>>

<<Awesome!!! When would you like to move in?>>

<<How about in exactly one week?>>

<<Sounds good to me :) I'll private message you my address.>>

<<Thank you so much. I can't wait.>> I jump up and dance around like a lunatic. I can't believe it! I have a roommate. Okay, it's kind of far, but close enough. I'll just live there until I'm financially stable, maybe get a house or apartment there later and actually much later, get a family. The thought is great. The guy messages me his address and tells me his real name is Kent. I thank him again and add a smiley face for good measure. I celebrate with Ramen, crackers and a bowl of ice cream, while watching Mark's newest livestream upload. I go to bed and fall asleep still pumped for moving out.
