Your Point of View
I woke up to music playing in my ears through my headphones.
Perfect! The alarm actually worked! I thought to myself.
I picked up my phone and turned off the alarm. I checked the time, 3:15 AM. I set my phone on my bed and walked to my closet. I put on a black tank top, a thin grey sweater, dark blue skinny jeans, and black converse. I got out my book bag and put a pair of boxers (boxer pants not the underwear), my laptop, my phone, Chargers for everything, and headphones. I put my wallet in my pocket and prepared my self mentally for what I was about to do.
Do I really want to do this? This is serious! Things are going to get better right? No. I am on a death bed, have no friends, and outright can't stand this household anymore. I am going to die if I just keep accepting beatings from my drunk parents!
With that final thought, I quietly opened my window, snuck out onto the roof, closed the window behind me, and inhaled the cold January air. It was cold, too cold. I wanted to go back and get a coat, but I don't want to spend another moment in that house. I had already left a note for my abusing parents telling them I would leave. That was their dream anyway. They never liked me and I was just a mistake.
With that reassuring thought I climbed to the edge of the roofing. Why does the roof have to be so gosh darn high? Oh well here goes nothing. I tried to slide down to the grass for a soft landing, but slipped and fell on the pavement. I didn't make a noise and luckily no one had heard my fall. I look at my knees and arms to see the damage. No broken bones, thank goodness, but I was scraped pretty bad on my right knee, scraped not as much on my right elbow, and my palms were scraped pretty bad. Way to go Y/N! I thought as I got up. I checked my book bag to see if anything in there was hurt, but luckily nothing was! Now there was no way back in the house and I had to go.
I headed to the nearest bus stop. It took me about ten minutes but I got there just in time for the bus. I payed my fee and got in the back seat. Not many people were on the bus, but then again, how many people are doing anything at 4:10 AM? I got out my phone and started to play "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons. I rode for a while, maybe an hour or so until I knew the bus wouldn't go any further than where we are now. I got up, payed the bus driver, and looked for the next bus stop that wasn't for this one, one that would take me even further away from my prison. By this time it was about 5:20 and I was starving. I know I should eat but I have to keep going! There is no way I am taking any chances to jeopardize my escape! As I was walking along the sidewalk I started to shiver more and more. I really should have packed better because I had no extra clothes for my torso. Now that I think about it, I was really dumb and packed next to nothing! I defiantly can't turn back now and I am just miserable. Still, this is better then "home".
I was walking for a while, an hour, just looking for a bus stop. I finally got smart and just looked it up on my phone. 25 minutes away walking distance and the next pick up time is 6:50. I can make it there just in time for the bus with my condition. I thought as I looked at my palms and knee. I set of as to not be late for my ride further away from the town I was in. To my enjoyment I got there when my GPS told me I would. This gave me time to sit down on the waiting bench and relax a little. I took my phone out of my back pocket and started to play " Stressed Out" by Twenty One Pilots. By this time people were going to work and taking the bus. More and more people were coming to the bus, which got me thinking where this bus was going. I looked at the bus route on one of the walls of the little shack covering the bench. This thing isn't going to go far is it? Ugh! I'll just take the subway! I then proceeded to look up where the nearest subway was and proceeded once again my walking journey.
I eventually got to the subway, but by then it was already 7:10. I bought a ticket to ride the subway all the way to Seattle Washington. This should be far enough. I'll figure out something there! I soon was seated on the subway and pulled out my laptop. Seattle wasn't too far from where I was, so I decided to do some animation. That is after all what I went to school for, well... I studied in art and technology, so I am more then capable of editing videos, filming videos, animating videos, the whole nine yards. I was animating a random video, not any meaning to it or anything really. I pulled a funny clip from YouTube, and animated it using the sound as my guide. By the time I got to my stop I had recorded about 4 seconds of animation in eight hours. I had no distractions and had to keep my mind busy from wandering.
I had just gotten out of the subway and back to reality. I saw a nearby grocery store, so I decided to go into the parking lot of it to figure out what to do from where I was now. I walked to the side of the building where it had a small row of parking spaces along it, so there was still paved sidewalk. I put my book bag down and slid my back down the wall to sit down. Instantly I started shivering even more that I already was. My teeth were chattering badly now. Why does It have to be so cold! I wish I had a jacket or something! I realized that I had not prepared for this whatsoever, and I officially stated in my mind that I have no home to stay in, no clothes, no food, and worst of all no where to go from here. What have I done! I curled up into a ball and rested my forehead on my knees, looking down at my stomach that I have not fed in a while. It didn't help that I had no dinner last night either. Yesterday was a Friday, no lunch or dinner night. If I get caught eating I get punished even more than no food. I couldn't hold back my feelings and started crying. I tried to cry as softly as I could so I wouldn't disturb any shoppers.
About a minute of crying I heard footsteps coming toward me. I didn't even look up or care about it. Whatever they could do would be worse than having nothing. I sensed a shadow above me and braced myself for the worst. But to my surprise, all I heard was
"Excuse me miss, but are you okay?"
