I knew what I had to do. I got up and walked to my closet and grabbed
my old backpack. I took out some old books and blankets until I got to the
bottom of the bag. There was my gun.
Well, it wasn't my gun, it was my dad's but a couple years ago I took it from him, for whatever reason. At the moment, I couldn't remember.
I looked at the gun. Picking it up, I brought it close to my face. Suddenly I heard a noise. I looked around; it was nothing, so I turned the gun back towards me. Then I decided what I would do, I gripped it harder and harder.
I made sure it was loaded with bullets then stuffed into the bottom of the bag again along with a few extra bullets.
I went back to my closet and grabbed my suitcases. I emptied out all my dresser drawers and stuffed my clothes into the largest suitcase.
Next, I stuffed all my cosmetics and hair stuff and all those other necessities I would need into my smaller suitcase,
After that, I grabbed towels, sheets, shoes, pillows, my books and magazines, my stuffed animals, and lamp and curtains. Basically, I took everything I would be able to stuff into my car.
An hour later, went downstairs and got my credit cards (I only had two with limited use) , a thousand dollars, and my social security stuff, birth certificate, anything that belonged to me.
A while later, I went out the door and to my car. I had no keys.
"Crap!" I yelled as quietly as I could. I had let them in my purse, which was in my mom's room. Great. I couldn't put everything back and wait until tomorrow night; we were leaving for summer vacation in the morning. I would just have to go in there and get it.
I went back inside and walked quietly down the hall. Fortunately, the door to their bedroom was open, so there was no way I could get caught by the old, rickety door.
Quietly, I crept across the room to my mother's night stand. I picked up the purse, but my cell phone went off saying I had 4 new messages.
"Lizzie, is that you? What are you doing up?" My mom said sleepily.
"Just grabbing my purse. I woke up and remembered there was something in here that I needed. Sorry that I woke you." I replied sheepishly. I was no good at lying, but really I wasn't lying, I really didn't need something out of my purse. Right?
"Oh that's okay. See you in the morning. Love you."
"Love you to mom, and tell dad I love him too. Bye" I said quietly.
I walked back out into the hall and upstairs to Matt's room. I walked over to his desk and quickly wrote him a not saying:
Dear Matt,
I am sorry that I have left so suddenly. Please forgive me. I just can't handle my life right now and had to get away for a while. Do not worry, I will be back, I do not know when, but I will com home again. I do not know where I will be living. But I probably will stay in the city. Once I find a place to stay I will write you, But, I can't use my name Lizzie on the envelope, so it will be different. Please don't show this note to mom or dad, it is just for you and know one else. Please go to my room later and under my mattress is your birthday present. I wanted to give it to you now. Well, I have to go. Remember, I love you no matter what kind of weasel you are. You are the best little brother any girl could ever get stuck with. Love Lizzie. Ps: Please give this note to Miranda and the other to Gordo. I love you little brother.
I left the note on top of his slippers so I knew for sure that he would read it. Then I stuck the note I had written to Gordo and Miranda under his note.
"Goodbye little bro." I said quietly as I turned around and went out of his room. I continued walking down the hall to my room, to make sure I didn't leave anything behind.
"Well, until next time. I spoke as I walked away. As I walked into the kitchen, I sat at the table and wrote a short not to mom and dad.
Mom, Dad, and Matt,
I am so sorry that I left without telling y'all. I just need to get away, and I figured this was the best way, instead of other option.
I just want to tell y'all, I love y'all so much. Thank you for everything you have done for me.
Mom and Dad: Please stop fighting, for Matt's sake. Please. I love y'all.
Matt: Well you're a cool guy. Have fun in ninth grade this year. And have a fun summer. Guys, I will be back. I don't know when. Don't try to find me. Please don't. Consider this just me moving out just a little bit earlier than we had planned, well a year earlier. I will finish high school though. I promise. And I will come back eventually.I think..
Love Lizzie.
After I set the note on the kitchen table, I walked outside and locked the door. I walked towards my car and after putting in all my luggage and boxes, I looked to the house once more.
"Goodbye!" I yelled, the started my car, backed out the driveway, and down the street, to the city and my new life.
"Finally I am free!!!" I shouted as loud as could as rode into my newly won freedom.
