PART TWO

Sage had packed her belongings in a matter of minutes. Then headed off to her mother's room and packed everything but, the outfits her mother out for the next two days, along with some make-up. By the time she was done her mother's room and the bathroom it was already 4am.. she had started a little over 9 hours prior. Sage decided to take a little nap before emptying the air out of her mattress packing it, calling the moving company, and starting on the downstairs. Sage woke up 2 hours later. She had emptied her air mattress and called the moving company. She had just finished placing her 3 bags ( messenger bag, laptop case, and a medium sized suitcase) in the trunk of their car. She now started in the kitchen. She washed and dried the dishes, packed them and threw out all the food they had except the needed things for todays meals. (her mother never took any groceries with them.) She knew her mother would be down stairs in a matter of minutes so she started to make her breakfast (eggs, toast, bacon, and coffee). She placed the finished meal on the table just as her mother came down.

"I see you have packed most of this house?" Her mother half stated half questioned.

"Yes, mom all that is left is to finish is the kitchen then the dining and living rooms as well as the den." Sage stated.

"Well you better get to it." her mother said sitting down to eat her breakfast.

Sage finished all that she could in the kitchen by 3:30pm. Her mother had left shortly after breakfast and came home only for lunch then left again. Sage then started on the dining room she had packed everything except for a chair and the table. It was now 5:06pm. She then did the living room which took her 4 hours but, she had made dinner too. So at 9:33pm she started the den and finished it at 11:31pm. She then packed everything else in the kitchen and dining room then packed the rest of her moms things except for the next days outfit. She was done by 2:00am and slept on the couch. At a little later than 6am the movers knocked on the door. Sage was already dressed. She helped them load everything into the truck. She woke up her mother at 7:30 and a little after they were done packing her mother came down dressed with her hair & make-up done perfectly.

"Oh honey, you should have woke me up to help." her mother acted in front of the movers.

"Oh, mom I didn't feel that you needed to help. You do enough around here already." Sage fake smiled.

"Alright dear. Are we ready to leave?" Her mother asked.

"Yes, mom we are." Sage smiles. We drove the six hours to whatever this town was called. Just as we entered the town I read the welcome sign that said, 'Welcome to CAMERON, North Carolina' "So mom you never told me what the job was." Sage says.

"That is not of your concern." her mom said and then glared at her. Sage was quite from then until they reached the house. Sage and her mother helped the movers bring all the stuff into the house. The movers left and Sage went to bring her stuff in.

"Mom, where's my room?" Sage asked.

"In the attic." her mother replied snootily, "You better have this stuff unpacked in two days. But, DO NOT touch anything that belongs in my room."

"Yes, mom." Sage says taking her belongings up stairs in search for the "door" that led to the attic. She eventually found it and pulled it down, it had those funky stairs that came down so no ladder was needed. She walked up the stairs just to check things out. It was literally DISCUSTING! It was full of a bluey mold, and had no floor, literally no human could live there. Her mother decided to go back to bed. Sage decided that she would stay in the laundry room for the time being. She got everything unpacked from 2:40pm to 11:34am. She had made her mother's breakfast and had decided that she had had enough of this so called 'life'. But, she was too firghtened to do anything about it. After a few weeks she had decided to talk to her friends again but, it was not for long. Things had gotten worse. She saw that her friends were right, her mother truly was from hell. Sage had gotten a job about four days after being in Cameron. It was during the night so her mother couldn't find out. She had made a decent amount of money. She had already had plans to move out. She had just payed first and last months rent for this little studio apartment. It was now 12:00am and Sage was making sure she had all of her belongings packed. She then took one of her mother's suit cases and filled it with some food. She had bought a mini-fridge and was getting ready to leave. Since Cameron was decently big compared to where they were living before so her mother bought her a really beat-up car. It was an older beatle. It would have probably cost at most $600. She packed her 4 bags into the back seat, and drove to her new home. She had left her mother a note saying that she did not want to live like that anymore and that she was gone forever. It also said not to try to find her.
