Ch. 6! Enjoy and review!
Bella
A month later…
So I've been trying to figure out how to talk to him or get to him. All month. I've been so upset. I could tell my mom is worried about me. I don't smile or talk that much anymore. Also, I lock myself in my room everyday (A/N: I do that every day also:P )
I was in my room doing my homework. I can't even concentrate that well. UGH! I have Dyslexia and ADHD. I think I got it from my mom because she has it also. So I just couldn't take it anymore. I looked at the time. 3:00 pm. I put my HW down and laid down on my bed. I was thinking of what life would be like WITH my dad. Different. Amazing. Don't really know the words to it. I turned on my side and flinched.
"ouch." I said to myself. I have a couple scars from that accident that happened a month ago with the glass. It hurts when I lay against it. So I turned to my other side, my better leg. Eventually, I fell asleep after a while.
When I woke up, I turned on my phone and looked at the time. 5:57 pm. Wow….i must've slept like almost 3 hours…geez. I opened up my computer, but I had opened it halfway when I stopped. I had an idea of how to find my father. It's risky, stupid, and I'm scared. Maybe to….run away? I don't know if I do my mom will be freaking out. But I NEED my father. How will I get to him if I run away? This is so complicated.
So I started looking up Percy Jackson marine biologist. Requests came up and I clicked on:
Percy Jackson: Marine Biologist, New York….
It said where he worked. At some marine biologist building or whatever? I don't know what it's called. I wrote down the address. It was far. It was in New York City. I don't live in New York City. I decided I was going to go to that address and try to get to him. Try. I was scared. Like really. I kept thinking to myself, 'What if I get lost? What if he doesn't like me? Is he nice? Mean? What do I do?' I kept thinking those questions over and over and over and you get the point.
I started to pack my bag. I kept my schoolwork in it though. So I won't be bored on the subways. I put a blanket, change of clothes, some food (like apples, chips, cereal [baggies if them], some cherrios, froot loops, life, honey bunches of oats and cocoa puffs. I also packed some granola bars), of course my phone, ear buds, charger, iPod, my emergency cash my mom gave me [sometimes I take the subway home-with a friend or adult], brush, toothbrush, toothpaste, some hair bands and a headband, a flashlight and that's about it. I decided to leave a note.
Mom,
I'm sorry but I have to leave. I really don't want to but I have to. I found my dad. Percy Jackson? You should've told me more about him. I've been looking for him for 3 years. Now I finally located him. He lives in New York. :D but….kinda far from here….New York City….well, if you wanna find me good luck. Don't call me, I'll call you. Don't worry I have things I need. I love you so much. I hope you know that Well, I'll be on my way…love you so much. Sorry but I needed dad in my life, now I have to get to him…bye. 3
Love, Bella
When it was about 10:00 pm, I folded the note and left it on my desk. I wrote, Mom please don't cry on it. I know this is a stupid idea for a 9 year old but, I have to do this. My hands were on my windowstill and I was looking down. This is it. It's now or never. I gulped and climbed out my window carefully and climbed down the ladder that was attached to the house outside.
I looked back and I pulled out my flashlight, turned it on and from there, I walked to the Metro (subway).
That's ch 6! Hoped you liked it! Ready for chapter 7? Review!
