Thanks for reading my last chapter :) here is another update umm may be a little short but i had to finish Emily high school life. Next chapter she will already be out of collage. So Maya will appear pretty soon.

Later during my senior year, i left home because i thought no one understood me but Ms. Adams. My parents had always questioned our closeness. I told them she was like a mentor to me. Ms. Adams cared about me and for my well being. But in no shape or form did i have feelings for her. Like i said she was my mentor, the only one who understood me and i felt safe with her. I left a note to my parents that i was leaving home. I'll never forget that day, and neither will Lisa.

Lisa was always there for me. The problem with Lisa was no one knew what she was doing half the time. Lisa was short and wore her hair closely shaven to her head. Her wardrobe consisted mainly of men's clothing. I still thought she was attrative in a pretty boy kind of way. She was very outspoken and was voted most likey to succeed. Her parents put her out of the house when they found out she was a lesbian and she blamed the world. I guess when you're sixteen and you practically on your own you have every right to be angrey and hurt. She moved in with her aunte who lived across town. Lisa was defiant and hard to get along with. I competely understood her and what she was going on with inside of her. We knew each other since we were six, so when everyone else couldn't deal with her, I was there for her and it wasn't easy. She was angrey with me , angrey that i didn't tell my folks i was a lesbian, angry that I'd made the closet my home. Her parents never acknowledging her existence eventually got the best of her. She got into the the drug scene and ended up in jail a few times. I once heard her mother say she'd rather Lisa to be a prostitute than a lesbian.

On this particular day I told Lisa i was leaving with Ms. Adam. She warned me not to go but i went anyway. So after my parents came home and saw my letter they immediately went to Lisa looking for me, and like a true friend she told them she had no clue where Emily was and haven't even seen me. But a neighbor told my mother she saw me leaving the house with Lisa, so they knew Lisa was lying.

It wasn't until the next day that my parents put two and two together. They told Lisa that they thought she might be with Ms. Adams and they were getting ready to notify the police and the local newspaper. Lisa got in contact with us, and my father and uncle Ronny came to get me I had no clue how much i sacred and hurt my parents with this episode Seeing my mother in tears to see me safe and sound, and my uncle and father willing to do anything necessary for my safe return. I'd given my folks a few reason to mico-manage my life. It was there mission in life to make sure I wasn't a lesbian. But during the process I believe my sister Jade fell between the cracks and didn't get what she deserved from us, and for that i blame myself. Even though we never discussed my leaving home or Morgan's letter, those episodes set the tone for how my parents treated me
