The Great Escape
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
Well make the great escape
We wont hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
"You foolish child, you'll be crawling back to me soon anyways." Patricia Block snared at her stepdaughter Massie Block.
"Yeah," snickered Gretchen, "You'll never be able to survive without me or mom. Especially now, since we don't have dad."
Don't you mean STEPdad? Massie wanted to scream but kept her cool and zipped up her mint green Kate Spade suitcase.
"I'll be fine." Said Massie calmly as she picked up her Marc Jacobs tote that contained everything she basically needed; her cellphone, her wallet filled with credit cards, airplane tickets to Westchester, and her father's old Rolex watch. Massie slipped on her nicest pair of Prada pumps and checked herself in the mirror. She was ready to go.
"Sure," scoffed Patricia, "Where are you going anyways? Who are you going to live with? I bet you don't even know!"
Massie gritted her teeth and glared at the curly blonde haired stepmom. Everything in her life had been perfect until they showed up. Even though Massie's mom had died after she was born, she still had a great life with her dad, William Block. It had always just been the two of them, no one else. But for some reason William believed strongly that Massie needed a mother while she was going through her childhood. That's when the nightmare began. William had met a pretty waitress in the airport on a trip to Singapore. William couldn't help but ask for her phone number…and he got it. From then on, "game nights", "daddy daughter nights", and "movie nights" were canceled because William was too busy dating the waitress. Massie had felt William slip away from her slowly and not long after a year, the couple was married and Massie not only had a new stepmother but also a new snotty stepsister, Gretchen.
Patricia was always a very secretive woman until one day Massie and Gretchen had caught her gambling with a few friends in her and William's room when William was on a business trip. Apparently, Gretchen already knew her mom was a gambler but Massie certainly didn't and she didn't think her dad knew either. But before Massie could rush off to call her dad and tell him what she had discovered, Patricia had caught her and made her swear never to tell William or she would send Massie off to the orphanage. Massie was too young to talk back then and had silently agreed to keep Patricia's little hobby a secret.
After three years of being a "happy family", William had been in an earthquake in Japan and didn't survive leaving Massie with Patricia and Gretchen. Massie had been heartbroken when she had heard her father had passed away but Patricia shrugged if off like it was last season's Burberry poncho and Gretchen went right on talking on the phone with her friends and going shopping every afternoon as if nothing had happened.
She had never liked Gretchen.
Gretchen was slightly older than Massie but was way moodier and lost her temper fast. Gretchen was absolutely beautiful on the outside. She had her mom's curly blonde hair and a flawless face. Everything about her seemed perfect from her daily blowouts to her manicured toes but Massie had found out a long time ago that that was only her appearance. Under all the perfectness was the real Gretchen who had stolen Massie's math homework everyday and handed it in as her own and gotten Massie's friends to backstab her. The girl was evil.
Massie sighed as she ignored her stepmom and stepsister's threats on how she would never make it in the "real world" and dragged her suitcase out her room.
It wasn't like the two were going to miss her. Massie was just another mouth to feed in their so-called "family." They only tolerated with Massie because she had one third of her father's fortunes and she would own most of the house when she turned 16 in November.
She carefully made her way downstairs and pulled open the front door before stepping outside into the nice summer breeze. She turned around and looked at the white-bricked house she had lived in for all her life.
I'll miss this place. She thought before she walked off the porch and flagged down a taxi.
Without a second thought, Massie slid into the taxi and told the scruffy guy in the front the directions to the airport. Once the guy stepped on the gas pedal, she laid her back on the brown leather cushions. She looked out the window to see her house for the last time and as it slowly disappeared from sight, she knew she was finally making the great escape.
So what do you guys think?
Luh-v it? Hate it? Think it's okayyyyy?
If you guys like it, I'll continue so I guess it depends on how many reviews I get
Constructive criticism is cool but just no flames
Thx guys! (: (:
