Chapter 1
He had finally done it. He had pushed my buttons and now I was finished. My dad was the famous Tony Stark, CEO of Stark industries and billionaire, but he was also a major playboy and and alcoholic. A long time ago, when I was a baby, my mother died and Tony being my father, he had to take me in. In 15 years, I had tried everything to get my fathers attention: getting the honor roll, being the smartest girl in my high school, creating my own computer and phone, and I even tried being more of a girly-girl, though I was a die hard tomboy. Nothing worked. No matter how much I did, he just didn't pay attention to me. All these years I didn't want to accept the idea that he didn't love me, but now at age 15 and a half I had come I the truth. Tony Stark didn't love, he never did and he never will. I'm not gonna lie and say that the decision was easy and I just went into it. It took me a long time to get to courage to write a note, and plan a route to escape from this hell place. It was hard. I loved my amazing home in Miami California that I grew up in, and deciding to run away took a lot from me. So how did I come here? Standing in my huge bedroom at 5:30 in the morning, equipped with flat screens, the highest technology equipment, the closet full of clothes, and a fourposter bed, which held a rucksack bag. In my brown leather bag there was:
Two tee shirts
An extra pair of jeans
A pair of black converse
And iPod, handmade phone, and laptop
Socks
Two hats, one a beanie in one a baseball hat a superman logo
A wad of cash that added up to $500
Toiletries
Hair ties
And a note from my mother with a heart shaped locket.
I checked though the contents of my bag and added a water bottle filled with the water and then added packets with things that were supposed to keep your energy and your proteins levels high. I couldn't believe I was actually doing this. Months of debating whether not I should do it finally we're going to matter tonight. Tonight I was going to go away from this place where I where I had been kept up whole life in, Where I was never loved or show respect to. After today, I was going to be my own person and let anyone else boss me around. After months of planning, I had gather a list of safe places that I could stay at, and also gathered supplies in my bag. That's all I knew about what I was going to do, but I figured anything in the future was better than this. I want a note to my father explaining why I had chosen this path, and left so my bed. I glanced at myself one more time in the mirror, with my acid washed skinny jeans, Red and black plaid shirt which I had open in the front, a black tank top, red Converse, and a black ski hat. I pulled my long mid-back length brown wavy hair into a sloppy braid on the side. This was it to myself. I was actually going to do this. Before I left, I grab my skateboard, and a sketchbook, and left the past behind me. So close, I was so close. I reach the door and-
"Ma'am" The automated voice JARVIS asked, and for robot sounding concerned. "May I ask what you're doing."
I had no friends whatsoever, and JARVIS was the closest thing to companion I've had my entire life. When I formulated this plan, I forgot about him completely.
"Hey Jarv, I'm sorry but I have to do this. Don't tell dad where I went, please. Do for me."
If computers could sigh, I was 100% sure that that's what he just did. I hesitated waiting for him to make up his mind what he was going to do. Technically Mr. Stark was his creator so he had to listen to him, but JARVIS was my best friend, and I knew that he would take my side in this case.
"Cecilia, I wish you best of luck on your journeys and I hope that when you are ready, you can come home. If ever you need me, I will be here." Out of a table in our main foyer came out an ear piece that had J.A.R.V.I.S. I smiled and held the small piece in my hand examining it, before sliding it in my back pocket of my jeans.
"Thanks Jarvie, for everything. I'm now going to give you a hug." I pretended to hug the air. I heard the voice chuckle.
"And I hug you back ma'am. Goodbye."
"Bye bye JARVIS." And with that I left the threshold not looking back once. I hopped in my board and road off in the early morning.
