Different

Chapter 6

After school I walked home thinking about what happened. I thought about it all day. but I never talked about it to my friends or anyone else. sometimes I just like to keep things to myself so Mia doesn't make a big fuss about it. but that's why I love them so much. they always stand up for me an they always got my back. anyway, when I was walking home I saw a man on the street. he looked homeless so I gave him 10 dollars, he was so grateful that I gave him money he gave me a ring in return. now I love that ring, and that got me thinking. what if I run away? what if I escape all my problems by running away? I was thinking about this for the rest of the day. I thought maybe I could leave in the middle of the night tomorrow. or if I could live with Brooke at the homeless shelter. I decided to runaway tomorrow at 11:00 at night. that day I gathered a bag of things I would need. my phone, a charger, money, clothes, matches, a flashlight, a pocket knife, my credit card, and 5 water bottles. I left a note on the counter for my dad saying, "I have decided to runaway. I'll be fine, well I bet you won't care. I'm not coming back and I won't miss you. I've always hated you and I hope you drown in your tears that I left you."
