It is 11:40 pm. As I sit in my bedroom playing music with 25 volume level. Not too low not too high, I am glazed with a feeling of peace. Especially with my parents arguing a lot more now, music has been a constant get away for me.
My curtains catching the wind give the hair on my arms a feel of the almost 12 o'clock breeze. I sit there in ultimate tranquility...
Hearing a glass shatter downstairs followed behind yelling from both my mom and dad, I begin to get dressed quickly. Making my way downstairs I stop. Dazed in the mirror, I splash my face with cold water. Recessed the idea of go ming down there. So I make my way to my window. I climb out and realize I never turned my music off. Hitting the ground I curse under my breath, hoping my parents didn't hear me. I get up dust myself off and begin my walk to the diner...
I live in a small town called Lelona. It's about one elementary school, one middle school and one high school.
Everyone here knows everyone and everything about this place. There's this diner, "Joes". The diner has become a place to go when my parents argue. It's right off of Luna st but more deeper into the woods...On the way to the dinner,
once you notice the street disappearing and turning into dirt you're getting closer.. I'm almost there when it begins to pour down in rain. I'm completely soaked. Checking the time on my iphone, the time reading 11:58.
I start full fledged running to get there faster, the diner starts to come into view. I smile in pure happiness, but not because i've reached the diner because I can finally stop running...
