"Hey, I'll be back soon! I'm going dress shopping with, Louise." Was what Danny said before he left.

He's always gone nowadays. He's either with Phil or Louise or he's at that stupid dress shop.

I wish one day he'd just stop, just stop trying to do everything and just stay home. He hasnt done that since the day he picked me up from school.

Before Phil came along, Danny would just sit at home and we'd watch Disney movies all day and dance to Danny's weird indie music.

But no.

Now it's Phil this and Phil that. When is it not going to be about Phil?

The only time Danny thinks about me is when he feels guilty. He only talks to me when he knows he's wrong. I'm nine, I can tell when someone doesnt want me around.  He doesn't even listen, I try to talk to him about school and he doesnt even listen to me.

Nobody wants to be my friend at school because I dont have a mom or a dad..I just have a brother who dresses like a girl. Nobody wants a friend who has that. And nobody wants a sister who can't make friends.

Kyle(I'm sticking with Kyle bc that's the name i used most recently whoOps)  was nice to me though. He held my hand on the playground and he told Trent to stop making fun of me...but then Charlotte came with her stupid ribbons and he left.

That's why I'm leaving , mom did it.  Kyle did it. Danny's doing it. So why can't I?

I pull all of my clothes from my drawers and shove them inside a suitcase I found in mom's closet. I push in my favorite stuffed animal, the one I got from the hospital the last time mom was here. I grab my diary and start to write a note to Danny.

I'm sorry if I bother you, Danny..

My writing is so ugly. Charlotte says that everyday.

I'm sorry that I'm not the best sist-

"Adriana?" I hear someone call from downstairs, probably Stupid Phil looking for Stupid Danny.

"I'm in my room!" I yell and go back to writing my note.

You shouldn't have to worry about me so I'm running away. And dont try to stop me. I swe-

I hear a couple of knocks on my doorframe then I look up, "hey kiddo...what's going on? Where are you going?" Stupid Phil says walking into my room, looking at the case on my bed.

I slam it shut and zip it quickly, "none of your business." I say pulling it off my bed and dragging it across the floor to put it near my closet.

"Adri? What're you doing? What's with the luggage?" He asks again.

He's being so annoying.

"Why can't you just go away?! Danny isnt here. Go look at the dumb dress shop for him." I say, my mom would say that I'm being rude but I dont care. Hes being annoying and she isnt here.

"What's this?" He says picking up my note.

I run to him and jump up to snatch it out of his hands, "stop it! That's mine! Leave my stuff alone!" I yell as I shove the note underneath my pillow.
