Leaving Family Behind....
"Megan I think I can control my own life!!," yelled Mattie in anger.
"Says the girl who has spent the last 16 years of her life depending on everybody but herself. What makes you think you can suddenly depend on yourself?," screamed Megan Miller.
Mattie and Megan were sisters who had never been more different than at this moment. Mattie had the auburn hair and blue-grey eyes that complimented her freckled pale complexion, while Megan had dark blonde hair and grey-green eyes with her tanned skin. Mattie was optimistic most of the time but had a quick temper. Megan was pessimistic and usually even- tempered. Unless she and Mattie were at each other's throats. Megan was very emotional. Mattie let her emotions build up inside. Mattie liked taking chances, gambling with life. Megan played it safe, played by the rules. They were like vinegar and oil, they just didn't mix.
On this night, Mattie was trying once again to show Megan that she was growing up. It was time to make her own decisions. She had been trying to take control of her life for months now but Megan wasn't about to lose power now.
"I don't see why you won't let me just live MY life MY way." Mattie felt angry tears begin to build up but she forced them back down. *I will NOT cry. Not in front of her,* she thought.
"Not while you live with me Mattie. You have to do what I tell you."
Mattie drew a few calming breaths and let her tone become calm and quiet. "You are not my mother so don't act like you are. As for living here, I no longer do. I'm leaving tomorrow."
Megan opened her mouth to say something but Mattie cut her off. "No, don't say anything. I'm leaving and you can't stop me. I would hug you goodbye but you never did like hugs. I'll visit sometime after I get a job and a place to live." Mattie walked to her bedroom and shut the door quietly.
Megan slumped unto the couch and let her tears flow down her cheeks. *She's really leaving,* she thought sadly. She picked up the book she was reading and threw it against the wall with all her strength.
Mattie packed her things as quickly as possible, making sure to leave nothing behind. She didn't have much so packing didn't take long. She sank down wearily on her bed when she was done. *I'm leaving the only family I have in New York behind tomorrow,* she thought. *Where am I going to go? What am I going to do? Why did I say I was going to leave?*
She rubbed her eyes with her palms as she questioned her own actions. *No I have to leave. I can't keep depending on her. I need to depend on myself for once. I'll survive somehow.* She lifted her chin a notch and glared determinedly at the wall. There was no turning back now.

Mattie looked up at her apartment building from the street below. She had lived there for 4 years but now she was leaving for good. She didn't even know where she was going but she was going somewhere and she was going to start a new life for herself.
