"Y/F/N Y/M/N Ovenshire! Come down here right now!" your mom yelled. 

You don't even know what you did wrong to get called by your full name. Nothing was worse to get called by your birth name with all the syllables in between each word.

"What mom?" you replied.

You made your way downstairs and thought to yourself  'What happened to make my life so miserable here? Oh yeah, Josh leaving a couple of years back. Man do I miss him. He was the glue to this dysfunctional family.'

Soon you were downstairs and not prepared for what was about to rain down on you.

"What do you mean 'What Mom', I'm your mother, I shouldn't get questioned when I am the one who is about to question you for what you have done to this family!" your mom declared. soon it was like a bomb went off with all the accusations about you that your parents frequently threw at you. 

"Where were you last night." "I hope you didn't talk to any college boys, Y/N." "Please don't tell me that you talked to Joshua again." The usual comments about what you were doing last night after your parents decided to stay up like the sick people they were. 

You told them the simplest truth that there was, that you were out with some friends shopping. To further your point that you were shopping with friends, you showed them the pictures that you posted on your Instagram and Snapchat accounts.

They were still skeptical and didn't believe you since the photos could have been off of "other peoples social media accounts". 

You got extremely upset with them and started yelling, " WHY DO YOU TWO PICK ON ME LIKE I'M SOME SORT OF CHILD WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I'M TELLING THE TRUTH! I'M 23 GOSH DAMMIT! If you two don't believe me, then I'm leaving! I don't know where but I will move somewhere far, far away from this hell hole and go somewhere that I can be happy with my life!"

You stomped your way back up to your room, seeing through this plan that you had thought through earlier today. (Buying a plane ticket was included in this plan as you were considering living with Joshua in LA or a bit until you got a job.) You had already packed multiple suitcases  with your things and your necessities like your hairbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste, woman products, and some money that you stored away a few years back after you made your promise to Josh, "I'll go to you if they get too hard on me." You stored away enough to get a one way trip to Los Angelas, about 1,000 dollars, plus some extra cash to spend when you get there until you got a job.

Out of all the money you had, almost $400 were what you made off of the job that you had since sophomore year at the local Wawa. The other cash you had stolen from your savings account and your parents' bank account. 

You hop out of the window into multiple layers of bed cloth that you had put down for this very purpose. 

Right before you leave you look back at your old house in the small town of Baltimore, Maryland and flip it off for all the years you spent suffering from those people. 

You run as fast as you can to the nearest bus stop which isn't that far, and pay for a ticket.

Soon, the bus arrives and you say, "BWI airport please."

You call your brother warning you that you are coming to LA. 

(you in Bold Josh in Italicized)

hey, Josh...

Oh my god, Y/N?! Is that you?

Yeah. well, do you remember that agreement we decided on when you moved out to California?

Which one there were multiple.

The one about me coming to live with you if anything seemed hard on me living with mom and dad?

What did they do to you N/N?

Well, they keep on assuming that I am doing really bad things when I go out with friends, and then mom usually hit me, or in a few cases, dad rapes me. 

Oh my, N/N, you know what, I would love for you to stay with me in LA. 

Really?

Really. One thing, you do know that I have a roommate, right?

No.

Well, that's a problem, because we don't have another bedroom for you to sleep in. I'm sorry

Hey, I can just sleep on the couch, you do have a couch, right?

Yes, we have a couch. but if your willing to sleep on a couch, be my guest. It's your choice.

I am all right with having to sleep on a couch.

okay. Just text me when you are about to board the plane. You do have a ticket right?

Yes, I have a ticket. I can't wait to see you again Josh.

Yeah, me too. How long has it been, six years?

Yeah, six years of me getting all those harsh punishments... Mom blames me, did you know?

Blames you for what?

Making you leave.

WHAT! No that can't be right! It was my choice to leave. Why does mom hold grudges on everyone when they do stuff wrong?

Josh, I have to go, the bus is at the airport right now. I'll call you back when they call my flight.

Tell me also where your gate is, I'll pick you up from LAX

Okay. See you soon. Bye

You hang up on Josh then get off the bus with your stuff in hand and confidently make your way to gate 19 where flight 481 is waiting for the plane to come.

While on your way to the gate, you see a Starbucks and decide to stop in for one of your favorite drinks to get there, a Y/F/S Y/F/D. 

You sip your drink while figuring where your gate is.

You look at the apple watch that you bought with your own money last Christmas and see that it is 4:59

Suddenly, you see it, gate 19. It says on the board that it has an ETD (Estimated time of departure) at 5:10 and will likely get to LAX at about 11:30. 'Great, It will only take 6 hours of me sitting on a stupid airplane with two people sitting next to me. Just great" you thought, looking down at you plane ticket saying "Window Seat; Row 13; Economy Class" 

As you heard your plane getting called board, you glanced down at your watch and saw that it was 5:05 pm. 

You boarded the plane eager for what will come next in your life on the way to LA...
