Jacqueline sat leg crossed on the old rusty green carpet bedroom as she watch the ceiling fan rotates clockwise above her. Then wandered to her dresser; she gazed at her reflection. She had told herself again that it was just going to be another day, which of course was silly because it was her birthday Today. Jacqueline was not someone that cared about her birthday in particular, she hated the attention and much rather do nothing. But today was going to be the last day she celebrate here because she plan on running away to find herself the next day.

Although she was not hoping for any presents, she was looking forward and anxiously waiting for someone to surprise her Isaiah Dixon her boyfriend. Two weeks earlier he had told her to come meet him at the park on her birthday at first she didn't what was up but she kind of figures. Jacqueline decided to walk to the playground early, she woke up to a rusty yellow swing, raised her legs and push herself towards the sky, then she felt a soft touch on the torso her heart pump a little faster and sweat ran down her spin. Her set of caribbean green eyes with lengthy eyelashes fall on Isaiah, his gaze follows her with a smirk. He grabbed her waist and He kissed her the way Peter parker kissed Mary Jane in the first Spiderman. 

For my birthday I didn't receive any gifts, the greatest gift I wanted was to spend this night with you Jacqueline said while holding unto Isaiah

"I do have something for you its in the car"

"Spending tonight together is enough baby!"

He grin.

You really going to love what I get you, next year it will even be something better, Jacqueline wants to tell him about her decision on leaving but everytime she made up her mind she hesitated and change the topic

They remained in jagged silence then she let go of his arm and stood up staring at the summit for a bit

 "please don't be mad at me"

Isaiah eyes widen and a serious expression form on his face, A feeling of distress.

"A few days ago, I saw this documentary about life and how our existence is limited. Then it made me think about my life unfortunately I've wasted so much of it already, I dont feel like I am living life, only part of it. Everyday I do the same thing... school is a major issue too. Because day to day I found myself in front of desk with teachers who doesn't even has the heart to teach, it as been a waste of time for me I feel like there is so much more out there where and I just need to go look for it. So I decided to running away first thing tomorrow."

He rose to his feet and left when he came back he was on one knee with a engagement ring.

"Ummmmm"
