That morning at 4 a.m. I woke up. I guess I was afraid of what would happen once daylight hit. And I didn't want to be here when it did.
I got on some clothes, and filled my pockets with items of importance; my keys, address book, knife, umbrella, phone, phone charger, wallet. I also brought my purse, which had a wallet in it made out of duct tape with one of my IDs in it. That was about it. I knew that I should keep the items in my pockets, especially after dark. I knew this was better than keeping them in my purse, in the event that anyone took it.
I walked down the hall to my dad's room, where he always left the door open at night. Like me, he was a heavy sleeper. Once he got to sleep that is. We both had trouble sleeping which is why I was hesitant to wake him. But I knew he'd want to know where I was going.
I knocked on the door.
"Hey Dad?" I whispered.
My dad moaned as he shifted in his bed.
"Yeah hun?"
"Um…"
"Oh hey Lily whatsup?
"I'm going out."
"Ok. Where?"
"I don't know."
"Ya got your phone?"
"Yeah I got my phone."
"Ok."
"Ok bye."
"Bye."
I left the house closing and locking the door behind me.
