Her First Stop
She couldn't go home. She couldn't go to a friend's either. Surprisingly, for a fairly popular girl, Rose couldn't think of anyone she could trust enough to run to.
Well, she could think of one. Maybe she could run to Jake… No, she couldn't do that. He wouldn't even say more than two words to her these days. Even if he did, she wouldn't mix him up in this.
She was alone with nowhere to go.
She sat on a curb for a little bit. She watched as a bus drove passed her.
She stood up quickly; she didn't know what she was doing. It was as if her body was moving of its own accord.
She took off her top, leaving her in the white tank top she always wore underneath and she threw it in the nearest dumpster. She found herself at the bus station.
"How far does this bus go?" Rose asked the woman in the ticket booth.
"It goes all the way to Detroit in Michigan." The woman told her irritably, taking a drag on her cigarette. "Then I'll take one ticket for Detroit, please."
"That's $32. 50." The woman told her. Rose nodded and took off her shoe. She always kept a 50 dollar bill there. She never really knew why she felt compelled to, but she always did, luckily for her.
The woman took the money, gave her change back and gave her the ticket. Rose was surprised that the woman didn't refuse to give it to her because of her age but she doubted the woman even paid attention to her. She was more interested in whatever TV show was on, thankfully.
When her bus arrived she got on and went into the back of the bus and looked mournfully outside the window. God, she was going to miss her life in New York. What was she going to do in Detroit?
It took four days to get to Detroit. When she arrived she got the instant feeling that she wasn't nearly far enough away from her uncle.
She sighed; she'd been missing for four days and failed to complete her mission… She knew that if her uncle ever found her… He was going to kill her.
Yes, it's short. I had more I was going to write but I'm getting kicked off right now and I wanted to post SOMETHING. So here it is. I was gonna have Jake find her and save her and all that junk but then I came up with a much better idea. Please review and thank you all of you who have. Also I'm not really sure how long the bus ride would be or how much it would be for the ticket so I made up some stuff. So please don't review telling me I'm an idiot and have it wrong. Thanks in advance.
