"Scarlett, it's 5 in the morning. What the hell do you want?" Jade murmured from the other side of the call.
"Jade, I'm leaving," I said while doing my hair in a ponytail and wearing my black baseball cap. "And I have to do the part where I cover you up? I got you bitxh, have fun." I had to roll my eyes hard on that.
"Dummy, it's not like that, I'm leaving for good." Shoving a pair of t-shirts and pants in my bag before taking the folder aunt Jane gave me. "I don't know what are you right now." And she started giggling lazily, clearly from her sleepy mood.
Scarlett had felt like it was worthless to get her to understand when she is this sleepy.
"Listen, Jade. I had a fight with dad last night and I have finally decided to leave after mom and never come back... If I found her." Throwing my backpack on my back before going to the kitchen to drink water. The stupidest thing is going to the kitchen to get water before I leave for the night and the week, maybe a month or more.
Always stay hydrated.
"Letty, you can be really stupid at times but I wish you good luck, babe." She giggled ending it with a yawn. "Don't ever call me, OK? I'll call you if I can't." I lastly said before leaving the house.
"Ok, beautiful see ya whenever."
"Bye." And I hang up.
I had to tell someone that I was leaving and to my unpleasant luck, my best friend took me 0% serious, great isn't it.
I'm not sure how long am I taking to find her, but I sure have a plan to get to her, with the help of these messages.
I'll be Tracking Mom Down.

Scarlett,
I don't know if your reading this, or is it even reaching out to you but I'm not sending any after this. Maybe you are trying to ignore me which I understand clearly but I'd really be happy if you ever wanted to see me. What am I even saying? You would never want to see me, you apparently hate me and I don't blame you at all. I deserve it, I deserve the hate from you, it's normal that you get to forget me and live your life normally without me because I'm trouble.
I wish I could see you and hug you and tell you how much I love you, your my only daughter and my favorite one, you just don't know how much I want you, I wish one day I'll be able to meet you and your brother's. Gosh, I missed them so bad.
I missed you so much.
This was the latest letter she sent, and I couldn't help but let the tears drop from my eyes down to the letter on my hand.
I missed you more, mom.
I'm sure I'll get to her, I know I'll get to her, it's my only dream.
My eyes caught the bus station at the same time the taxi driver stopped the car. I paid for the ride and hopped out of the car before making my way to the reception.
It was a bit crowded to my surprise so I had to stand in the line before it was my turn to take my ticket, i hope my money is enough for the bus ride.
"Next," I was next and so I walked forward. "When is the ride to Yonker City?" I asked and she immediately started searching through her computer.
"On the next hour, ma'am. Would you like a ticket to Yonker City?" She asked with a small smile. "Can I know the price?" I asked again. "It would be 123$, ma'am." And I gasped, I just gasped in front of the lady.
"Would you like to cut a tick-"
"Uhh... Can you give me a second?" She nodded and I thanked her before leaving out of the station. I didn't have much money for this, I'd finish the money I have if I paid for the bus ticket. should have stolen the whole wallet from my dad's room instead.
Great, my first mission was failing before it even got to start.
"sarà così divertente!" My eyes snapped at the group of people around the age of Sean or maybe older, on their first 20's I guess. They played Mexican or Italian, or maybe Spanish music on high volume and were dancing all extra about something.
"prendi l'acqua qui" what are they saying tho? Italian or Spanish, I had no idea at all. I snapped back to thinking of another plan when it hit me.
Well, I guess I'm that much of a genius to find another plan this quick, but I'd have to see if it works.
"Hello! Ciao or Hola." I made my move and walked up to those Spanish or Italian people with a smile. A tall hot guy with a smile that took my heartbeat for a second approached me.
"come va bellezza?" He greeted which I had to laugh it out, he must have thought that i can speak whatever he speaks. "Sorry, Doritos. I don't speak that," I said only earning another breathtaking laugh.
Goddanm, if he was a real Doritos.
"Doritos? Cute," he says, taking me back that he can actually speak what i speak. "Great! You speak English!" I smiled so wide at him as he nodded back with a smile.
"Umm, If you don't mind me asking, I was wondering how much fun you guys are having and I wanted to ask, where is your destination? I mean you guys definitely are traveling and those bags up on the roof proves to me and apparently, you guys are having a party in the van?" I started while he gave me his all ears.
"Yes, we are having a party on the rode thing, and we are heading to Yonker City." Bingo, or was that really wrong time to say bingo, isn't it? Never mind that and let's focus on that thick accent.
"That's really nic-"
"Where are you heading?" He cuts me off before I could finish my sentence and try begging for him to take me. "Yonker City," I smiled and he smirked. "Want a ride? If you don't have one of course," He asked leaning on the van as he got closer.
That was easy.
"And to my luck, I don't." I pouted acting as innocent as I could be, he's already buying it. "Hop in Bella, we'll give you a ride." He said and I couldn't get happier than that.
"Jesus, thank you so much, you don't know how much this is for me, how can I pay you for this?"
"Maybe a taste of those lips..." He winks at me and as if i was ice I melted. I didn't respond to him but I sure found myself blushing and trying to hide it.
"I'm Pietro," stretching his hands out for me. I hesitated tho. I'm sure I'll be on a hot make-out session with this sauce over here but he's a stranger, not like I haven't had one with a complete stranger thanks to my Jade.
In the end, I wanted this, I was the one asking for a break to myself and I guess it starts here so I take his hand and shake it.
"I'm Scarlett."
Didn't know plan B was easier than A not to mention how much fun it could get.
