Chapter 1: the night before and preperations

A Chapter by Alexis Markum

well i suppose i should tell you exactly what pushed me over the edge, right? it all started because i asked my parents to stop giving me everything i wanted, and when i did they said " no, that it was their job as parents to make sure that their child was happy." well when they said that i had made up my mind that i was going to run away. I decided that i had enough, that i wanted to take care of myself and not have to depend on other people.

After i had ate dinner and took my shower i went in my room and waited until my parents and siblings had gone to bed. When they were finally asleep i got on my laptop and booked the first flight as far away from my parents as i could think of. A nice place somewhere where i could live and thrive. i was to leave at 3 in the morning for France. around 1 o'clock i went down stairs and made sure that everyone was still asleep, all i had with me was my bag with my clothes and personal things in it. i walked a couple blocks from my house then called a cab from the pay phone on the corner.

when the cab finally arrived i got in and paid the cab driver. i was in the car for about 30 minutes i had ditched my cell phone before i called the cab that way no one could track me. when we got to the airport it was almost 2:30 in the morning, only 30 more minutes till my flight left, and i couldn't wait.
