"Christina, time to get up honey. We're leaving in an hour to head off to Missouri." Mother called from the corridor below, yelling. I can't believe that me Christina is heading to Missouri for the rest of my life. No one there is going to like me, nothing is ever going to be the same, I'm leaving my whole life behind me! I pull my legs out of my bed, my cold feet exposed to the white carpet. I grab some clothes from my dresser, and head for the shower. Once, I take a shower, I hid my face with the makeup, making sure my dignity is hidden and the tears are covered.I put my dirty unclean clothes in my suitcase not caring where they are put. I want to get the hell out of here but I grab my suitcase and head downstairs where my mother greeted me with open arms.
"Dear, aren't you excited? It's a new beginning, ever since your father died, it's time to get out of this town, and clear our name." My father died a couple months ago, he was out on a business trip, when an attack broke out, and he was brutally murdered, but he was a robber. Mother and I never knew about it, but when the Fox 4 came on and reported about the murder, we leaned the truth. My mother cooked up some pancakes before we head out, once we shove the pancakes down our throats, it was time that we leave our life behind us. My mother grabs her suitcase, and Layla's dog cage. The movers are planning on meeting us up there in eight hours, it only takes an hour long airplane ride from Dallas Tx, to Saint Louis, MO. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, I pull it out and see I get a text from "Douche", I slid my phone to unlock, and read his text.
"Hey, don't forget our deal? Or else, I will come to your house and do what I did to you last time. I knew you liked it, that's why you screamed." I slam my phone on the kitchen counter, anger rushes through my body, tears flow from my eyes like Niagara Falls. A couple months ago, he broke into my house, and sexually harassed me, and abused me. My mother heard me screaming, so she rushed upstairs, and practically broke down my bedroom door. When she successfully was able too, she saw that he was abusing me, he threatened that if me or her tell anyone, that he will kill us. We promised that we would never tell anyone, but leading up to that, something spread and I was harassed at school, and I started getting anxiety attacks, self harming, and depression. One hour till our plane leaves, I pick up my phone, and wheel my suitcase to the taxi that sat outside the house. I grab Layla and tell her everything is going to be ok, once everything was packed up, I waved goodbye to my childhood house, knowing that I will forget almost everything I remember about my life. Once we reach the airport, we went to baggage check, and scanned all our baggage, and sat down waiting to be bordered. Once they called for our flight, we bordered and checked for our seats. "A4, and A5,"we were seated in first class, due to my mother and fathers ridiculous amount of travel. I had the window seat, I look out the window, and waved goodbye to the good old state of Texas.
