ALL CHAPTERS COMBINED INTO ONE FOR NOW, I APOLOGIZE.
Excerpt:
I flipped the lights on again and then walked over to my desk in search for a pen and something to write on. I ended up settling for a dark blue colored pencil and a sheet of loose leaf paper. I started to madly scribble a list of necessary supplies I would
need if I was actually going to do this.
1. Money
2. Clothes
3. Bus schedule
4. Mom's memory box
I couldn't think of anything else I would need. But I knew that the list would grow. I mentally started to make plans. When one is running away, planning is essential. I thought of things like where would I go? When would I leave? Would I need to pack food too? Am I strong enough to do this? Can I do this?
