I tried to kill my self again and mom and dad weren't even sad they were mad. Because I puked all over the carpet when from all the pills I took. They called the mental hospital and they're coming to get me tomorrow at noon. I have to go they're one of the reasons I tried to kill my self. They never cared about me.

I was a mistake they only planned my brothers but not me. So I get treated like shit cause they didn't plan me. I'm laying in my bed thinking about what I'm going to do.

I should just run away it's not like they'd give a fuck anyway. So it's settled I'm running away
Shit I don't have any money.

I walk into their room and go to their dresser, dumbasses leave all their jewelry out in the open.
I slip their wedding rings in my hoodie pocket and grab dads Rolex. I quickly tip toe back to my room and pack my bags.

I know it seems wrong to steal from my parents but they owe me for neglecting me for 13 and a half years.

I didn't take all my clothes I just packed my toothbrush, toothpaste, a hair brush and,deodorant.
I go downstairs and find moms purse on the counter.

I take all her cash out of the wallet, I counted it 59 dollars. I see a pen and a note pad in her purse I think I'm gonna leave a note.

"Fuck you, I'm out"!!!

I grabbed my yellow jansport backpack and went out the back door. By it's 4am now so I guess I'll just walk around till the pawn shop opens.

3 HOURS LATER***

Walking around for hours tires you out, time for some food. McDonald's sounds nice and there's one across the street from the pawn shop. I have to walk half a mile to get to McDonald's. I better start walking then.

There's so many people mainly people going to work and school. So many people stressed out when the day hasn't started yet.

I was thinking so much that I didn't notice that I made it to McDonald's already. I walked in and ordered a egg mic muffin and an orange juice.

"You look too young to be out this early in the morning sweetie" my cashier said to me
She caught my off guard but I lied " I'm on my way to see my grandma."
"Aww how sweet of you to get up this early for your grandma." Give me a break lady

She handed me my food and I left, I walked to the pawn shop across the street. As I pushed the door open the little bell rang and an old white guy came out from the back of the store.

"Hello young lady are you buying or selling today ?"he seems nice
"I'm selling today sir."

I pull out the rings and the watch and place them on the glass case. He just admires the jewelry in awe he gets a magnifying glass and examines them.

"I'll give you $1,500 for all of it." He said hopefully

"And I'll take it!!" We shook hands and he took the things and put them in the case and gave me my money. "Good doing business with you sir"

"Call me Frankie." He smiled at me and waved as I walked out.

I think it's time to head to the bus station. Since I can't get a passport on short notice I'll have to take the bus to Florida. I caught a cab I'm not walking anymore.

"TAXI!!" The bright yellow car pulled up next to me
"Where to?" The guy didn't even look at me... asshole
"Delaware bus station"
"K" was all he said before the car started moving.

After a half an hour car ride and awkward silence I was parked outside the bus station. I didn't listen to the price of the cab I just threw him a 50 dollar bill and grabbed my bag.

I went inside the bus station and walked to the desk to buy a ticket. A middle aged black lady sat on the other side of the glass.

"What's the closest I can get to Florida?" I'm too tired to be nice right now.

"South Carolina" she said back sounding just as tired as I was.

"I'll take a one way ticket to South Carolina then" I slammed 2 twenties on the counter and slipped them through the hole in the glass.

She printed my ticket and gave me 10 dollars in change. I read the ticket and my bus doesn't come for another hour. I guess I'll get some sleep then and I'll set an alarm to wake me up in 45 minutes.

45 MINUTES LATER *****

My phone woke me up, I feel better that I've had some sleep today. There's a cafe I should get a snack for the road.

Walking in there's not a lot of people in her just a mother and her baby. And some guy in a suit. I see a jumbo bag of gummy bears and of course I'm gonna buy it.

Placing the gummy bears on the counter I'm met with a teenage boy he looks 16 or 17.

"Hi welcome to Danny's shop is there anything else you need?" He's super friendly it's kinda annoying how happy he is.

Looking over the menu I say "yeah can I get a strawberry smoothie please?"
"Sure thing"
He rings me up and turns around to make my smoothie. Eating my gummy bears I wait patiently.

"Here ya go!" He hands my the light pink drink
"Thanks" I say walking out the shop

"Bus 36 for South Carolina is leaving in 5 minutes" a voice says over the loud speaker. Oh shit I gotta hurry I quicken my pace to get to bus 36 and make it there with minutes to spare.

"Ticket?" The male bus drive asked rudely. I pull my ticket out my back pocket and he rips the end of it off and motions for me to board the bus.
