I – 'Jumping'
Stepping outside of the house with an air of confidence, Betty knew what she had to do and how she was going to achieve it. With her luggage trailing behind her, she walked to the taxi waiting in the street. After putting her suitcase in the trunk of the car, she made herself comfortable in the back seat and handed the driver a piece of paper with a scrawled address.
As the taxi took off from the curb, she turned around and waved a final goodbye to her family, who were standing in the street watching her leave. Once she couldn't see them anymore, she turned back around and started thinking about the direction her life was now heading. With thoughts and ideas filling her head, a large smile grew across Betty's face as she was transported into her fantasy land.
"Uhh…Miss? Excuse me miss, your phone is ringing…" And with that comment, Betty was abruptly pulled from her reverie by the cabbie informing her that her mobile was ringing. She couldn't believe she was so lost in her daydreaming, she didn't even hear her phone, nor it's vibrations. As she rummaged through her shoulder bag looking for the phone, it had just stopped ringing as she brought it up to eye line view. Looking at the screen, she checked the missed call and dismissed it by putting the phone back into her bag. Before slipping back into her thoughts, she asked the driver how far till they reach her destination; he replied, "Only a couple of blocks Miss." And with that comment, Betty was again grinning from ear to ear. She couldn't believe she had finally made her choice and jumped…
