Chapter 2

It was just past 1:00 AM, and Liz was awake. She slung her backpack on her back, and threw it out the attic window (yes, a freaking window). She soon jumped after it.

After relieving her pain silently, she got up, grabbing her pack, and ran into the woods. Cutting through every backyard she could, she ran until she got tired. Which was at a subway station.

A train was there. Perfect, she thought, my one-way ticket to out of here. She boarded the train a second before it would leave.

"Take me to Station Square," Liz said to the conductor.

"Will do, miss," the conductor said with uncertainty.

Liz found a seat in the back of the train, and rode for a while until she got to the city.

"Thanks," she said to the conductor as she gave him her fares.

She was in a subway station in Pittsburgh. God, she was tired. She found a bench, and put her backpack on it. Liz then plopped on the bench, and fell asleep, free at last.
