And still I try so hard, hopin' one day they'll come and rescue m

Roman woke up from her mother yelling she got up from her blow up bed, others would of complained but she appreciated every small thing she received. Roman was not a very picky person at all and she wasnt a bad person either that made her questioned why her mother treated her the way she did and why it was hard being friends with someone like her,even though she had a bestfriend.

But Roman never had a boyfriend they all called her weird and scary . They said she was hard like a puzzle and difficult to figure out.

She snapped out of her thoughts and remembered she had less then one hour to be out her mother house . "I must of been real tired late night to fall asleep in my clothes " she whispered to herself .

She plugged her iPhone which was a gift she received from her bestfriend off the charger and placed all the items it came with in her duffle bag . She carried it in the bathroom with her while she showered , she didn't want her mother to walk inside her room while she was showering and find the iPhone and take it along with the other items her best friend gave her last night .

When she made her way into the bathroom she picked out something comfortable to put on after she got out the shower she was happy it was wasn't fall or winter season yet. She got out of her personal hygiene items to use after she got out the shower then she ran her water. After running the water to the right way she wanted it she stepped inside.

After 30 minutes of showering she stepped out and lotioned her body then putted her underwear and bra on . She waited to put her deodorant on after she putted on her shirt . She started brushing her teeth and rubbing her face with baby oil , she putted her hair in a ponytail which now was a curly one due to her not wrapping her hair up while showering. She putted on her tennis shoes grabbed her duffle bag making sure she had everything in her bag because she know once she left there was no coming back.

Right on cue her mother yelled "Bring your ass Roman"

As she made her way downstairs she saw her mother seated at the table holding a evil smirk on her face .

No words where exchanged Roman placed the key to the apartment on the table and as she made her way to the door her mother said "It's a shelter right down the street not to far .

Roman mumbled softly "Thanks before opening the door and heading out not looking back at once at the person who carried her in the womb for 9 months and treated her like shit .

She took a deep breath and threw her duffle bag over her shoulder and started to walk.

While Roman was walking she saw kids playing outside all of them had a happy look on there face one she never had while growing up with her mother. Roman mind drifted back to what her bestfriend told her in the car the previous night .

Roman I left something very important in the box but you can't open it until morning time okay of you love me and care about you will do as I say "She said to me with a serious look .

Roman decided to go to the park and read the curious note her bestfriend left her. The park wasnt even that far it was right up the street across from the shelter . As she made her way to the park she saw a unoccupied bench so she sat on it. She reached in her duffle bag and grabbed the note and it read

Dear bestfriend you don't know how much you truly mean to me and he much you inspired me that's why I I'm doing this . Roman you are such a beautiful soul a very nice human being and I ask myself why would a human being like you go through all that stuff you going through . I know you homeless Roman remember when we were little and you told me your mother always told you when you graduated she was going to kick you out. Now I know the first thing that's gone run in your head is to call my best friend but how are you going to do that when she dead I left you money and I bought that phone for a reason it's time to grow up and put everything in the past and focus on your future . You will succeed I believe in you and one day when you have kids you can share your story with them so they can see how strong they mommy was

Make right decisions Roman. Later you will thank me for this I did this for a reason .

Love
