![]() JohnnieA Story by The Poet of Black WingsAge:
Seventeen
Outside of that, she's a serious, yet fun girl with a surprisingly strong work ethic.
Johnnie didn't muchly care about her family or its riches, which is why when they threatened to disown her when she “came out of the closet” on her sixteenth birthday she told them to go ahead, and left. The family didn't even try to stop her.
Frustrated, she managed to pack up a few things and back-packed her way down the west coast and back up it, eventually landing in Los Angeles. Once there, she managed to find herself a job, three actually, and a little studio apartment. Sure, it wasn't exactly much compared to her previous living conditions when she lived with her family, but it was comfortable enough for her. She found that she rather liked it in the city, despite the fact that she worked almost all of her time away so that she could afford to live. Most people in her situation would have complained but she just went with it, seemingly enjoying herself. Johnnie was home, for the first time in her life.
There were times when her jobs alone couldn't pay for everything. There were times when she had to do some bad things, like steal or deal drugs. She occasionally got mixed in with the bad crowds, but manged to find her way out, most times. She likes to keep a few connections though, just in case.
