Another day is another goodbye

Somewhere other than home.

As the sun fell I started to pack my things. My mom hasn't been the same since dad left, she started smoking and quit her job. She won't even get out of bed the house is a complete mess. I thought this was just a faze, but it wasn't everyday it got worse and worse she started hitting me and my little brother, Carter he was only 9 years old and I hated that he had to experience this. As I open the door I see him standing by his bed crying. I kneel in front of him "hey, I promise you we're gonna get out of here okay?" He shook his head and nuzzled his head into my neck "I love you willow" he said. "I love you too carter."

Me and carter sneak out the door quietly as mom was asleep. "Here take this" I gave him his backpack "there's snacks and 12 water bottles use them wisely okay?" "I will I promise" he said. We started into the woods, then into nothingness it got darker and darker we soon found a gas station and after 11 water bottles and snack breaks we really needed to stock up again. "there's a gas station let's go." I said. He followed behind me. As we arrived a man was standing at the counter "how are y'all doing today?" "We're fine thank you" we find what we want and sneak it into our bags. "HEY!" "Carter run!!" As we ran, the man followed after us. We made it back to the woods and decided to take a break. I lay the sleeping bags out and put them flat on the ground and slide into it. I watch carter until he's completely asleep. I give him a kiss on the forehead "goodnight" and I then fall asleep.

Hey guys!! I hope y'all like this so far! The next part y'all will fall in love with!! Be patient😁 a boy named Blake changes their lives. Stay tuned !!!
