*Flashback*

I stare at the wall of the interrogation room not believing that they were going to send me away.

My own parents think that I'm bad and want me out of their lives. Who's going to make sure that Milo eats? He's a growing boy and needs food, sleep, love, and an innocent childhood. What will he think of me once I'm gone?

"Let's go Lia." My dad said and I stood up.

Before leaving I went up to the officer that was interrogating me and whispered in his ear, "I can't tell you anything, I'll only cause trouble if I do. I'm sorry." I left after apologizing.

My parents told me in the car about their plan. I was going to move to South Korea and live with my grandparents. I will stay there until I am no longer causing trouble. They said that I should be able to come back at 16 years old. They also told me that I leave in a week.

I ran to my room when I got home. I locked my door and grabbed my suitcase. Putting it on the ground next to my bed, I go to my closet and pick out the clothes I actually wear. I folded all the clothes I actually wear and tried to put it all in the suitcase.

Won't fit. Damn it!

I run out of my room and to the storage closet. I grab ten huge cardboard boxes and walk back to my room. Putting them down on the ground I lock my door once again. I start packing up my clothes, shoes, art supplies, and gadgets.

I stayed up all night and packed up my whole room. Not a trace of me is here except the house of cards still standing on the table.

How has it not collapsed yet? It's stronger than me, that's why. I'm a weaker version of the cards. I couldn't handle it anymore and I collapsed. Maybe it'll fall when I leave. That'll be the only thing that I leave, I'll make this room look as if I was never here.

And with those last thoughts I fell asleep on my sheet-less, pillow-less, blanket-less bed.

I'm not leaving in a week, I'm leaving after I get rid of all the traces of me existing here.

I wake up earlier than everyone and hack into the system from my laptop, then hack into my file. Changing my name back to the original name I was born with, the name on my birth certificate. My name is once again, Na-yeong Lia Mi-ran Edwards. I'm no longer Lia Edwards or Lia Na-yeong Mi-ran Edwards.

I go online and look up flights for South Korea. There's one tomorrow. I use my mom's credit card number and exchange the ticket she bought for next week with the one for tomorrow.

I grab a piece of paper and pen, so the things I write will be permanent.

Dear whoever is reading this, I'm not leaving in a week. I'm leaving now. By the time you read this I'll most likely be on the plane headed for South Korea. Please ship all the boxes that are sealed shut to me and the ones that are not sealed shut you can donate. This is goodbye. Sincerely Na-yeong Lia Mi-ran Edwards

I put the letter in an envelope and write on the envelope, This is goodbye. I carefully put the envelope underneath the house of cards. The house of cards will collapse soon.

Since I'm the only one up, I make some food. I eat alone and wonder what went wrong in my life? Was I following good or evil? Barely eating anything, I take my camera and head to the wall with my artwork of a heart.
