I hurried and went home as fast as I could. I wanted to leave as quickly as possible. I ran upstairs and grabbed my duffel bag and drawstring bag and packed everything I needed. My duffel bag was already packed because I have wanted this for the longest.
My mom ran up the stairs. I quickly put everything in my closet and shut it.
"Go downstairs and make me lunch." She said.
"Okay." I mumbled.
I ran downstairs and made her lunch. While fixing her drink I saw some sleeping pills.
I shouldn't.
I did it anyways because it would be easier to leave. Before I gave her the food I spit in it.
"What did you do to my food?" She asked.
"Nothing." I replied.
She ate it anyways. After an hour or so she was asleep and I left.
I left the house and when I arrived at Jake's his mother opened the door.
Does he ever open the door himself? I thought to myself.
I said hi and then went upstairs. When I opened his door he was getting dressed. I looked at his tanned abs and his wet hair that made me almost drool. Wait! What am I thinking? I thought to myself.
"Like what you see?" He asked.
"Shut up."
"I'm ready for the thing."
"Me too. But I feel bad. Your mother is going to be devastated when she finds you gone."
"She already knows what is going on."
That explains why no questions were asked. I let him finish dressing and we left. In my drawstring bag I had 9 million dollars. Insane right? We got on a subway not sure where we were going but sure that we were going to get answers.
