Home For a Heart

New Land New Life

Its been three weeks since i ran away.

Enough time to catch the quickest flight to the UK.

I sat on the plane looking out the window. 

The pale  clouds glided past us.

My mind keept replaying the scene over in my head a thousand times. 

How my step mother Yelled at me, threw her shoes at me screaming for me to get out of her house. 

She was furious with me because I told her she wasn't my mother. 

She was always abusive, i just couldnt take it any longer. 

My father was out of the picture, she was all i had left to live with. 

"YOU UNGRATEFUL ARROGANT GIRL. YOU WONT GO FAR IN LIFE WITH THAT FACE. GET OUT OF MY HOME, I DON'T WANT YOU HERE ANYMORE. GO FIND SOME OTHER WOMEN TO FREE LOAD OFF OF." she slammed the door in my face. 

i grabbed my bags in left. 

i wandered around the street for days.

I stayed in wal-mart for a few days but the manager said im not aloud to sleep in the bed models.

Why do they put them out if they dont want people sleeping in them? 

I shook my head. 

It was a new start, no need to be thinking about everything again. 

Suddenly, the man sitting next to me spoke. 

"Your pretty young to be travelin' alone darlin." he said looking at me. 

He had a furry mustache. 

I smiled sadly. 

"Well sir, I'm 16. I'm Just visiting relatives is all."  I lied. 

He looked down to the bruise on my arm, and raised an eye brow. 

He grunted and turned away to his news paper. 

i tugged my sleeve down. 

get it together  Kali , Your here for a new life don't screw it up. 

"Attention all passengers, we will be landing in about 3-5 minutes, please fasten your seat belts, And welcome to the UK!" 

i looked out the window once again. 

the ground was coming in closer as we descended. 

Soon we landed, and we all got up to reach for our bags.

I grabbed what little bags i had, and headed off the plane.

I quickly got out of the airport and rode the bus to my new life.

I walked down the side walk.

i looked up at all the buildings, all the beautiful signs.

i bumped in to people, my bags smacking them as i passed by.

i tucked in my backs looking around.

my stomach growled.

I sighed. 

I didn't have ALOT of money so i had to buy something inexpensive. 

i looked around. 

"HOT DOGS! GET YOUR HOT DOGS HERE!" a man on the corner shouted.

i glided over to him. 

"exuse me, may i have one?" i asked, pointing to the meat. 

"Sure love, but uh...." he rubbed his fingers together, moving his eyes brows up and down. 

i handed him the money and snatched my food.

I took a seat on a chair sitting out side one of the stores.

this place is beautiful.

its so different from America. 

I needed a place to stay. 

A man walked past me.

"Erm, Sir!" i called after him.

i ran up to him.

"Sorry to bother you sir, but do know any cheap places to stay?" i asked looking at him.

The man lifted his sun glasses. 

"Sorry miss, don't gotta' clue." he said adjusting them back on his nose. 

He strolled away.

I sighed.

I guess I'm homeless. 

I reached in my purse, pulling the 300 hundred dollars i had.

It sounds like alot, but to buy clothes food, a place to stay...

I bumped into someone.

We banged heads and i fell down onto the cement.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!  I wasn't paying attention to where i was going and-" 

I looked up to a boy, maybe my age staring at me smiling.

His long brown curls, sparkled in the sun.

He held out a hand to me.

"That's alright love! Don't worry about it!" he said pulling me up.

"Hi Im Kali ." i said shaking his hand.

"Wow, Thats a pretty cool  name." he said returning my hand shake.

"Im Harry." 

His green, blueish eyes looked right into mine. 

"So I haven't really seen you on the street here, and i take by your accent your new around here." he said looking at me.

He was gorgeous. 

"Yeah, i um, just landed here from the U.S. not to long ago." i said nodding my head.

"do you have a place to stay?" he asked, looking concerned. 

"Yes, well, um, actually no." i confessed, my face turned red.

"Lets change that." he said holding out his hand.

i looked at it then back at him

"Come one grab my hand, i wont bite you i promise." he said chuckiling.

"But I dont know you.." i said quietly

"Just trust me, i promise." 

I grabbed it.
