Lying on her bed on this silent summer night, her head was running with thoughts; overlapped one another. She lies there, seeming lifeless; just thinking.
'You make the decision, Karen. Just know that I'm here to support your choice.'
'You make me treat you like a little girl by the choices you make. You make me do these things to you!'
'Karen, you know you have a place to stay! I won't leave your side no matter what.'
'…You could be the one I'll always love.'
Tears finally flowed down her cheeks. All of these thoughts, all from people she cares about, finally got to her. Looking out her window is a world she longs to discover. Being trapped under this house for so many years, she finally had enough.
"I'll make my choice tonight." She said out loud.
Getting up from her soft bed, she took her messenger bag in hand. With a careful hand, she opened her bedroom door slowly. Her big brown eyes roamed the hallway, seeing if everyone was in their deep slumber. She double checked her bag to see if she had everything she would need for an outing into her quiet town.
Walking towards the front door, she got one last look at the place she calls home.
"…If you could call it a home." She said out loud.
Without a second thought, she opened the door to the unknown while closing the door of her painful past.
