I wondered around desperate to find a comfortable bench or something, but somewhere far away from Manhattan. I walked along the sidewalk, eyes drooping down slightly closed. My legs felt boneless, and sore from today. I thought about my family and how much they would miss me, and how much they loved and cared for me. What they have done for me, how much money they wasted on me, and now that money just goes to a waste. I am really depressed, and worried about my parents, who's going to do the laundry, and clean up the rooms. I certainly think that Jonah and Cecilia should have their child time until doing chores and work. But when my parents die I hope they know I love them. And whoever I am I will always be their daughter to them.
I found a dirt road about an hour away from Manhattan, I think. I sauntered down the road, and found a bench made out of wood. I was so unbelieveably tired I could sleep anywhere. I sat on the bench, and slowly made my way down into a lying down position. My eyes closed as a slight breeze drifted away. It's not as comfortable as my normal bed but good enough to sleep on. I fell asleep I don't know for how long, but long enough for me to stand up and open my eyes. I felt a nudge on my arm. I looked up and saw a man with a golden tooth eyeing down at me.
"Get up ya gimp!" I stood up staring at the man. I held in my breath and scrunched up my toes. The man looked down at me and searched my pockets. He pulled out 10 dollars out of my right-hand pocket. Where did that come from. Jonah must've saved up all of this money. The man gave me a smirk, and started walking away.
"Give it back, It's not yours!"I pulled the 10 dollars out of his hand and sprinted away as fast as I could run. I found a hiding spot behind a building.
"Where are you you, Newsie, I know you're here somewhere?" I went behind a dumpster hoping not to get noticed. His voice got closer and closer. I shut my eyes wishing he would just leave.
"Whatever, you piece of crap!" I sighed, and waited a few minutes before coming out. He seemed gone. I tiptoed out, and walked along the dirt path. You never no if he'll come back to where I was sleeping.
