As i packed my bags very wisely i made sure that i would have enough room for everything.
As i wrote the note telling them why I had started to cry
As I threw any proof of where i would be away I wondered if anyone would even care that i was running away.
As i got out my bus ticket I started getting the chills
As i picked up the phone to call my friend and see where we would meet i noticed that people may not be that sweet
As i opened the door to leave i felt sad and had to go and lay my favorite stuffed animal on my mommas bed
As i was walking down the street cars were beeping at me and some even pulled over
When i met up w/ my friend we walked to the bus station and waited 2 hours for our bus.
As i walked on the bus i just wanted to turn around. we barley had any money and no food but chips and water
As the bus started to leave i started to cry and my friend was just sitting there hiding her face
As we entered another state I got really afraid .
All these weird looking men kept eying us
When we got to where we were going We were walking down the street looking for money
Finally we stole some purses and wallets and we had enough for burger king and another bus ticket to go home
When we got to where we lived we split up to go to our houses we hugged each other bye and wished each other luck
On my way home i kept thinking of what my mom would do and what she has already done.
When i got to my house I noticed all the lights were on and even the porch light.
when i walked up the steps i saw something on the door and it read
baby if u decided to come home I want you to know i missed you like crazy. I am so sorry for everything that has went wrong. I am so worried about you I haven't got to sleep since I read your note. Just come in and I will hold you .. Baby please... I love you
As i opened the door I saw my mom sitting on the couch and she was crying. I wanted to run out again but i couldn't I just saw how bad i hurt my mother.
As i walked closer to her she cried even more and she just stood up and hugged me.
She told me that she loved me and that she is sorry and that she was so worried about me. she asked if I was okay and i told her yes
she asked if I was lieing and i told her no.
then we heard a knock on the door and we both walked to the door and opened it
it was a man. I thought that i have seen him before then i noticed it was the scary guy on the bus. i screamed and tried slamming the door.
He pushed it open and tried grabbing me but while he was doing that he had hit my mom. finally we got the door shut and we called the law.
I called my friends house making sure she had made it home and she said yea the police got her..
Me and momma moved out of that house and my friend went back to foster care...
we both learned that lesson those few days we were gone... I will never run away again
