It's been a week since you've been away from the place you once called 'home' and by 'home' you mean endless suffering and just tragedies one after another. You had to escape and be free from all of it or else things could've gotten worse.

Los Angeles is far different from Chicago - the sun is always out and shining, the traffic is much better to cope with, a lot more sights to explore. It was different, in an oddly good way.

You were going out for an evening run, as you tie your laces you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, 'eh.. good enough.' Your hair was up in a messy bun, no make up on cause come on.. who jogs with makeup on?

As you head out with your head phones on you lock your front door to your apartment, it was small but it was only you living there anyways so it will have to do for the meanwhile.

'Whataya want from me' by Adam Lambert filled your ears as you paced yourself, it was around 12ish, kind of the best time to go out for runs beside the morning which you weren't up for since you are NOT a great morning person.

About 2 miles in on your run you passed several shops some catching your attention that had cute clothing. You made a note to self to go in there when you have availability.
Another shop you were guessing was a tattoo parlor, the smell of the ink made you sort of nauseous which gave you the hint that your body needs to be quenched.

Walking in to a near by coffee shop, you read the menu, hearing the bell ring from the door signing that someone else has entered. You order yourself a medium iced tea.

"that'll be 3.79." The cashier said. You felt around your pockets, "shit.." you curse under your breath.

"Um.. actually, I'm not that thirsty anymore can you just-"

"I got it." A man behind you said as he handed the cashier a twenty dollar bill.

"Make that two large iced teas please."
