I decided to wait until everybody was sleeping to go through with my getaway plan. I packed all of my stuff, what was left of it anyway, into a duffle bag and debated on whether or not I would use the window as my escape exit. The other option would be going through the living room and that would cause Mama Junie to wake up. That in itself was one of few risks I wasn't willing to take. If she didn't wake up, Sierra or Sequoia would and they cause trouble I don't need. I weighed my options. If I jumped out the window from this second floor apartment, the most I'd get is a fractured ankle or a sore knee, depending on how I land. If I go through the living room, Mama Junie would probably catch me and beat me and I'd be on lockdown until somebody finds me. Azuri's life has always been anything but sweet.
