Let's Escape Together

John

  Mr. Frank was a good friend of mine that I would go to his home every Saturday to work on whatever he needed. He always paid me for my hours of work and I would save it for Destiny's college fund, he knew that I needed the money and I knew he always needed help since his wife's passing a few years back. Today I was rebuilding his guest bathroom laying down tile and changing the toilet, it took me almost all day and left me smelling and gross. It was almost 7 a.m when I was finished, he handed me a fifty dollar bill and a pat on the back before I left. 

  I had almost five thousand dollars saved up and had years to save up, I made sure to hide the money at Hope's place so my parents don't steal for booze and drugs. When I arrived home my dad was passed out and my mother nowhere to be seen. Going into Destiny's room to check on her, I see her passed out and dried tears on her face along with dried blood on her blanket. I seethed in anger and had to hold back from going to kill my father for what he did. I quickly texted Hope to pick us up and to bring large trash bags. 

  While I waited, I went into my room and put my clothes and stuff I wanted to bring with me into a pile and did the same with my sister. Soon Hope arrived and saw the aftermath of what my father did and knew right away what I was planning. We packed up our things, she carried Destiny to her car while I carried our things, I contemplated on stealing the money my parents had but chose against it as I knew what it would cause. With one last look at the home I used to love as a child, I closed the front door and never looked back.
