My Parents Double Life.

Chapter 6

Okay, I have a plan. I will set an alarm on my phone for 12:00am to get up then I will quickly sneak out and go... anywhere, I guess. I have lived by myself for a while so it's nothing new to me, I can handle it. I have to get out of here I just can't deal with all of this! I may come back, I may not, it all depends on how I feel, if I feel I can deal with it again. I look at my alarm clock and reads the time 5:00. Okay I will have dinner, act normal then say I'm tired from all the training then go to my bedroom and supposedly go to bed whereas I will actually be packing and getting ready. Let's do this.

I walk out from my bedroom and smell a roast dinner cooking.

"Dinner will be ready in ten honey, can you set the table? My mum asks

"Yeah" I say as I rummaged through the draw for knives and forks.

As I place the cutlery on the table I feel a hand on my shoulder. When I turn around, I see dad standing there with a grin on his face.

"I'm proud of you honey. You need a lot more training but if you put in 110% each training session you will be fine!" He says, giving me a warm smile.

"Thanks, dad." I choke out. Am I doing the right thing by leaving or am I just setting myself up to disappoint them?

"Okay dinner is ready," Mum says while placing the roast dinner on the table.

"Wow I haven't had this in a while" I mumble. Seeing as I don't really know how to cook a decent roast dinner I've been living off TV dinners most of the time my parents were away. Not very nutritious but its better than starving.

"Dig in!" She says as she picks up her knife and fork and starts eating the peas and corn.

"So what have we missed since we have been gone?" Dad asks while looking down, eating his beef.

"Nothing much, just you know same thing different day."

"Come on honey surely you have something to tell us! How's school?" My mum asks looking at me, smiling as she waits for an answer.

"Good."I shrug, "You haven't missed anything important there's no need to ask any more questions." I state back which causes mum to sigh before returning to her food.

I quickly gobble up my dinner so I can head to bed and pack my bag and work out what I'm going to do to leave.

"I'm going to go to bed. Tired from all the training so I will see you in the morning." I say, excusing myself from the table and heading off towards my room.

"Goodnight honey!" Mum calls out from the table. "Sweet dreams."

As I walk into my room I look at my purple colored walls and wonder how life is going to be after I leave here. This is where I have spent my whole life growing up.

"It will be fine, Vanessa" I say to myself as I grab my brown leather bag and shove my clothes in. I am only travelling light seeing as I don't want to be lugging around bricks. All I have are toiletries, a small supply of food and some other little things. I grab my phone and set my alarm for 12.00am and put the volume down so it doesn't blast and wake my parents up. I put on my pajamas and look in the bathroom mirror and ask myself if I'm ready to complete this plan. After a long trail of thoughts I simply whisper to myself 'Yes,' before making my way to my bed. I shut my eyes and immediately I enjoy the night sleep, seeing as it may be a while until I get another decent one like it.
