Same Difference

Chapter 10-Birthday blues

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! I'm eightteen!!! Yay! Wow... I'm so immature.

Mission 1: Get my phone.

I crept into the spare room and dug through Nurse Paisley's fuzzy pink purse until I found it. I slipped it in my pocket and went to order room service only to find Nurse nuttier with bowls of that horrible wheat porridge.

'Um, morning. I'm gonna order waffles.'

'No you will not. I have your breakfast here.'

'But... it’s my birthday!' She rolled her eyes.

'No! buts.' Fine. I'll eat in James's room.

'I'm not actually that hungry. bye!' I slipped out the door before she could stop me and ran to James's room. I unlocked his door to see the band and my father in deep discussion. The stopped when they saw me and looked up annoyed.

'Hellos!' I beamed and my dad stood up.

'What is it Donna?' My dad asked.

'It's Evelyn and I was wondering what we could do today. I was hoping we could go to a fair or something!' I babbled excitedly until James held up his hand.

'Why do you want to go out. We have work to do and today isn't anything special.' He scolded.

Then it dawned on me. My Father and brother forgot my birthday.

'It-it's the fifteenth of A-august.' I felt tears well in my eyes. Lolo and Marcel looked at me like I was an annoying child.

My father spoke. 'I know the date and its nothing special, Donna!' A tear slid down my face and I whispered.

'It’s my eighteenth birthday today.' I ran out the door as tears streamed down my face. I rushed to my room and changed into skinny jeans and a dark purple t-shirt. I slipped on my 1D hoodie and grabbed my run-away backpack. I never thought I'd need it.

I ran past nurse nuttier who was shrieking and out the door. I pushed past my father and the band to get to the elevator. They were too surprised to stop me so I hit the lobby button and let the tears pour.

They forgot my birthday. My own father forgot the day his daughter was born. This is the second time I'm running away from this stupid hotel except now I have no intention of ever coming back.

I hailed a cab and told him to take me to the nearest international airport. Once there I randomly selected a flight and paid with my card. I made sure the plane was leaving in less than half an hour so my dad couldn't track my card and stop me again. I'll show them, I'm not a little kid and I can look after myself.

I boarded the plain and checked my ticket stub. Looks like I'm going to...

Comment where you think the plane is going?

XOXO
