Thank You Simon (A One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 1

Thanks so much for reading. This is the UNEDITED version. I am still writing this but once I'm completed I will edit it.

I woke up and looked at the clock. "WHAT?!?! It's one o'clock already? I didn't think I would sleep in that long!" I said. I got out of bed and got dressed into some comfy clothes. I put on some black leggings, some red high-top converse, a pale yellow t-shirt, and a red beanie. I brushed out my semi-curly brown hair and straightened my bangs, then grabbed my bag.
In my bag I packed yesterday, I put in my Harry Potter books, my manga, some food and water, my iPhone and charger, and a small blanket. I also grabbed my suitcase which was packed with all my clothes and other belongings that I could fit.
I decided that I would run away today. I've been planning it for a month now. My 'so called' parents care about their money more than they care about their own daughter! They abuse me. They hit, kick, and yell at me for every imaginable thing, even if I didn't do anything. And besides, it's not like I have any friends at school.
Well, except for one. Her name is Olivia Lane. Olivia and I are the best of friends. I told her all about how I was running away and at first she tried to stop me but she knew she had to accept it. She helped me the best she could. I said goodbye to her yesterday. I told her I would call her when I could.
I double checked to make sure my parents weren't home. I looked in all the rooms and they weren't there. They must be at work then. I went back upstairs and got out a pen and paper. I began to write:

Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm writing this letter to tell you that I'm leaving. I probably won't be back and you probably don't care. But I just wanted you to know that I'm talking $500 out of the bank to get as far away from here as possible. Thanks for raising me I guess.
~Willow East

I put the lettering the kitchen table. I then grabbed my suitcase and my guitar in its case and went out the door. I didn't look back.
I walked to the bank and withdrew the $500 from my dad's bank account. The man working there didn't say anything about it. My dad usually makes me run in and withdraw his money for him so the man must of thought that that was what I was doing.
I went out into the busy sidewalk and called a taxi. When one finally came, I got into the car bringing all my bags with me. The man asked me where I was heading and I thought for a moment. "How...how about the airport." I said. "So, what's your name?" the man asked. "My name is Willow East." I said. "You seem a bit young to be traveling all on your own." He said. "Well, I'm only 15. I am kinda nervous but, I got this." I said. "That's good. So, where ya flying out to?" He asked.
"Hmmm, I'm not sure yet." I said. "Not sure yet?!?!" He said, "how an you be heading towards the airport and not be sure where you're going?!" "Well, I ran away sir." I said. "Oh, that's too bad. Well, I'm not gonna stop you. So where have you always wanted to travel?" He asked. "Well, there's lots of places I wanna travel, like South Korea, but I don't speak Korean so I need to think of a place without a language barrier." I said.
"Well, what about England?" The driver said. "Hey! That's a good idea! I'll go there! Wow! I can't believe I'm actually going to England!" I said. We talked a bit more until we got to the airport. "Thank you so much" I said, "How much will it be?" I asked. "$10" he said. I gave him the money and he wished me luck.
When I walked into the airport, I've never felt smaller, and I'm pretty short for my age. It was so crowded. So many people off in their own little worlds. I went up to the front desk. "When's the next flight to England" I asked. "One hour." The lady said bluntly. I bought a plane ticket and put my suitcase on the luggage scanner thing. Then I went through the scanners and security and grabbed my things. I boarded the plane and waited for its departure.
I say down in the window seat. I put my backpack on my lap and my guitar case on the floor by my feet. I looked out the window and we were taking off. I felt myself slowly drifting off into sleep.

Thanks again for reading. Please read the next chapter when I publish it. I hope it wasn't that bad.

See ya blue melons!
