I'm currently in the clinic, I hug my knees. I've stopped hyper ventilating so the clinic lady asks me if I want to go back to class, I nod yes.

No I don't

I walk down the hall, I'm on the first floor and I see an exit to outside the school. Not caring what trouble I get into I walk out, I continue my way to the sidewalk by the school.

I'm free

I continue to walk but my slow walking quickens and soon I'm running.

What am I doing, I'm going to get caught.

I'm running trying to avoid busy streets. But unfortunately avoiding people was impossible. I feel a hand on my shoulder followed by a voice.

"Excuse me mam what are you doing out of school at this hour."

I stare at the officer unsure of what to say. I can feel my heart racing.

Why, why me

I stare at the man before taking off I can hear him yelling but I can't make out what he's saying. I run as fast as I can to home. When I get there I open the door and get inside and lock it. My back is to the door and I collapse panting because I am out of breath.

Moms not home, oh ya father left us mom's just working to make up for him being gone.

I start crying but through those tears of sadness i'm laughing at myself.
