Sorry the first chapter was so short!
When Emma got to the Mercer house, she walked around back until she got to Suttons window. She turned the handle and held her breathe and she opened it.
Empty.
Emma breathed a sigh of relief and staggered into the room. She made her way into the closet and grabbed her bag from behind a shelf of clothes. She reached into the front pocket and pulled out an envelope. She pulled the money into her hands and counted it. 730. That was enough to keep her a float until she figured out what to do. She turned to a rack in Suttons closet and pulled some sweaters off their hangers and stuffed them into her back. She moved across the closet and grabbed a couple pairs of pants and shorts as well as some baggy shirts.
Good Enough Emma thought to herself. She closed the bag and slung it over her shoulder. She was half way out of the window when she looked back and felt the tears at the back of her eyes threaten to fall.
Stop it. She scolded herself. What did you think would happen?! With a sigh, Emma left the room, gently closing the window behind her.
She decided to go back to the cabin, she needed a way to get out of this town.
As she staggered on, she let her thoughts wander.
She was an idiot. Why did she ever think this was going to work?
She gave up on holding back her tears and let them fall as she walked toward the cabin.
