Why

Home

I woke up that day like every other day, I went to get dressed, ate breakfast, brushed my hair, and brushed my teeth. I had looked at the clock to see that I had an extra 20 minutes. So I called up my best friend to see what she was up to.

We made some small talk until I looked and saw we had ten minutes until the bus came. I jumped up and warned her that we were going to be late to school if we didn't continue getting ready.

I ran to the door and grabbed my makeup, I did it in less than three minutes which I had never done before, I put my shoes and backpack on and I still had three minutes to meet at Chloe's house so we could get to the bus stop five minutes early and get the front seats. We weren't nerds or anything, we just wanted to get off first so we didn't have to walk by the perverted boys in the middle, our school has a uniform that makes it so every girl in the school has to wear these really short skirts and guys just love to try to look up them.

I ran to her door and knocked 6 times which was our way of knowing it was each other. We bolted to the bus stop and no one else was there so we were the first in line (we always faced the back of the line so we could tell if the boys were being perverts and warn the other girls).

When the bus finally arrived I had ran in to save the first seat for us.

After school I had went over to Chloe's to work on a school project for a couple hours.

I went home to hear my parents arguing, I didn't say anything I just hid to see what they were saying.

"We can't keep this from her for much longer Eden"

"Well what do you want me to do Joe? Tell her that she was kidnapped?"

"Ophelia deserves to know what happened!"

"Well maybe you don't deserve to be here!"

Just then, I had heard a bang and then my father gagging for air. I ran upstairs to my room and locked the door. "I was kidnapped?" "My so called mom just murdered my dad?" Just then I heard the back door open and shut, and not 10 minutes later it opened and shut again.

I crawled through my window and down the tree with my backpack and pretended to just get home.

"Mom! Im home!"

"Hey Ophelia, how was school?"

"It was great, I didn't know dad was working late tonight?"

"Oh yeah, something had come up, he left for a business trip right before you got home."

"Ok, do you know when he will get back?"

"No, he said it would be a couple weeks tho."

"Ok then."

I had run upstairs and had planned to run away, I wasn't going to tell Chloe in fear that if I did it would put her in danger. I packed a bag with all of her savings which was about $3,000 (Remember, I was loaded) , a bunch of clothes, plastic water bottles, soap, napkins, and food. It was 6:15 so I was about to be called down for dinner so I hid the bag and I planned to leave at 10pm

After dinner, I ran into the room and set the alarm on my phone for 9pm so if there was anything I had forgotten I could go back for it.

This was it. Im leaving everything.
