Goodbye. Goodbye forever. Im done with the none sense and tricks my family members put on me. I tired of my older sister and younger brother and parents poking me around. Im done with it.
Hi. My name is Alex and im a 18 year old girl with long grey hair. I dye my hair 24/7 and am always having my phone in my hand. I live in Oakland California. Also I love Green Day. Like LOVE. If I could just meet them again. I saw them live a few times and went back stage once. We all hugged and shared a few laughs got pictures and autographs. I will always remember it, but I doubt they will. Anyway my life is good. I have nothing to complain about. But I just dont like my family. Im a middle child so I get all the blame and shit. But its not that, that im tired of. Its the jokes they make and the things they do. So this is my goodbye to them. Where am I going? I dont know. Where ever the road takes me.
I grabbed my purple suit case and book bag that had Green Day patches and pins on the front. I packed 4 pairs of clothes. 2 skinny jeans (one black one white), 2 Green day shirts (American idiot and UNO DOS TRE) socks, underwear, a bathing suit, 2 tank tops and a red flannel. I also grabbed my brush and toothbrush. I think im done. Shit wait! I thought ad I ran back into my room from the bathroom and took a few posters and CDs. Yep im done.
I silently go down the stairs not to wake my sleeping siblings. It was only 8 in the morning. My parents are at work and we have a day off from school because of a teacher inservice. I dropped out but I still have to take my little brother Zach to and from school. I got to the bottom of my stair case and tip toed in to the kitchen. I set my bags down on the floor and got a sketch pad and a pen. I wrote my hopefully final words to my family.
~ Well, if your reading this, im gone. Not dead but gone. Im running away from the jokes and teasing and the pressure. Im not sure where im going but ill go where ever the road takes me. Love ya guys.
-Alex~
I chuckled at it and slipped out my front door and walking out on the the side walk with my bag on my back and my suit case draging on its wheels beside me. I kept walking and walking for what seemed like hours but then stopped at a McDonald's to grab a burger. I got a cheese burger and left. I walked while I ate. Hunger is no reason to not walk further away. I family found a bus stop and looked at my phone. 3:00 o'clock. Jeez thats it? I thought it was like 5! Oh well.
I found myself on the bus and going where ever. I had Green Day blasting in my ears. I hummed along to basket case and kept looking out the window to see if anything is familiar. Tge bus driver finally stopped and came to tap me on the shoulder which broke my train of thought. I took out my ear buds and looked around to find no one on the bus but me and him. I looked at him.
"This is the last stop. Its 8:00 at night. But if you need to go anywhere else I can drive you." The old man said with a smile.
I returned a smile to him and said "No thank you. Here should be fine." I walked to the door and said "have a nice night!" Followed by a "you too!" From him.
I walked along the street and noticed all the big houses. 'Rich people' I thought. I put my head phones back in and stared at my phone to go on instagram. The first picture was from Tré Cool. It was a selfie of him and a nice looking background to it.
Treleparc Taking a little night walk! Need to clear my head. #yournewdad #midnightwalks #clearmehead
I chuckled at it and liked it. I looked up to see a human figure right in my face before I closed my eyes and fell to the ground because we had collided.
"Hey! Watch were you're -" I screamed as I got up and realized who it was. I closed my mouth and smiled like an idiot. I laughed.
"TRÉ COOL?! Im soooo sorry! I didnt mean to yell! I just ran away and im tired and-" I didnt realize what I was saying.
He laughed "It okay! Its okay!" And he looked down and then back up at me. "Wait. You ran away? Why?" I saw his smile drop and i looked to the ground. "If you dont want to talk its okay." He said
"No its not that. I ran away because im tired of my family. And I didnt tell you because I didnt think you would care."
"Wouldnt care? I care about all my fans! I love you guys!" He said looking at me straight in the eye.
"And we love you." I said back. He smiled once more and pulls me into a hug. I hugged back and then realized. IM HUGGING MY IDOL! HOLY SHIT. I smiled at that and let go.
"Thank you. I have to go and uh.. Congrats on your marriage!" I said before walking away. Him and his bestfriend Sara just got married about a month ago.
"Thanks! And can I ask, do you have a place to stay?" He said. I stopped. I could hear his smile fade in his tone of voice. With out looking back I shook my head 'no'. I heard footsteps come my way and he put his arm around my shoulder. "Come on" he said and with that we started to walk to his house. Holy shit. Im meeting and staying with Tré fucking Cool tonight. Best decision of my life was to run away.
