Greetings

Ella's poV:

As I pace back and forth in my room,

I can't help but think that this might

have been not so much of a good idea.

I mean, sneaking out of my house?

Where would I go?

It's not like I am leaving for good.

Ilook around my room one more time

before making a decision.

I don't WANT to do this.

I NEED to do this.

I peak out my door down the long

hallway to my parents bedroom.

Without any sign of the maids, I sneak

down the hallway and into their

bedroom.

Their room was plain and simple. The

walls were a creamy white and the

room was barely decorated.

Since they were both currently

attending a meeting, I knew that

they wouldn't be up here for at least

another two hours.

That would defiantly be enough time

to sneak out and in without them

noticing.

I walk up to my mom's large dresser

and open the small b0x which had

three sets of car keys.

I pick up one set before quietly heading

towards the door.

That was until I saw something else.

Oh my baby" I coo as I grab my phone

and hug it to myself.

Yes, I love my phone.

No judgey.

I put it in my back pocket and quietly

walk out of the bedroom and into the

hallway.

"What are doing?" A voice scares me.

Ijump up and turn around to see my

sister leaning against the wall with her

arms crossed.

"It's none of your business Ally." I roll

my eyes attempting to walk away.

Normally, I am never rude to my sister.

But all I can think about is her telling

mom.

She knew that mom would freak out

on me if she knew that I wanted out of

this house.

Not even a second later, I feel the car

keys in my hand being ripped away.

"What are you doing with these?!" She

says holding them up in front of my

face.

"I said it's none of your business."I

grab the keys from her hand but she

doesn't let me try to walk away again.

I look up at her as she looks at me with

a confused face. "Since when have we

not told each other everything?" She

questions.

"I don't know Ally, since when have we

went behind each others backs?" This

time, it was me to cross my arms over

my chest.

"What are you even talking about?"

She throws her hands up in the air.

"What do you mean what am I talking

about? Why would you tell mom I

wanted to be free for once?"

Her eyes go wide. "Ella I."

"Don't Ella me. I trusted you."

And believe me when I said this.

"I was trying to help you."

"By telling mom something that I only

trusted you with?"

She stays silent, and don't hesitant to

walk away towards the stairs.

"You're making a mistake." She calls

out, but I ignore her.

I'm not letting this life control me

anymore then it already has.

You know those moments in life when

you feel what you are doing is right

but on the other hand you feel you are

breaking some sort of law in the mean

time?

Well, let me introduce you to me...

Who doesn't know what the frick she is

doing.

Let me go into further detail

"And may I ask why you are trying to

leave?" The security guard questions

standing right in iront of the exit to my

house.

So maybe.. I didn't think this through.

At all.

You see, I kinda just thought,

Hey! Tm going to steal my moms car

and drive away.

It wasn't until five seconds later I

remembered about the security guard

my dad hired.

So, here I am after I pulled up the car

to the security guard.L

I let out a nervous laugh. "I need to go

to the plaza."

"For what?"

With a fear of getting in trouble, I

shout out the first thing that pops into my head.

"I need tampons."

I did not just say that.

Please tell me I did not just say that.

Oh my gosh I actually said that.

His eyes go wide as he stares at me

with some sort of expression I really

don't want to know.

I silently cringe at myself as he

scratches the back of his neck and

moves out of the way.

"Have a good day... Miss?" His

sentence came out more like a

question but I was too busy beingg

awkward to care about that.

I pull out and sigh in relief when I am

out of view.

But the relief all drains away when I

realize what I'm doing.

OH.

MY.

GOSH.

I just sneaked out..of the house I have been trapped in

for years.

Okay so maybe 'trapped' is a little big

of a word but that's surely how it has

felt.

It's not like it's the first time out of my

house.

lts just the first ever time on my own.

Like I already said, my mom took us on

our long.. very long shopping trips, out

to dinner, other fancy places and bla

la bla.

But this time, I am doing everything on

my own.

So where do I go first?

Well..

"Hello, welcome to McDonald's how

may I help you?" The person says from

the drive in speaker.

Yes, McDonald's.

The first time on my own and I choose

a fast food restaurant.

Doesn't that say a lot?

After placing my order down, I pull

up to the next spot and take out the

twenty dollars I brought just incase.

Because I knew that if I was spending

money.

It would be on food.

After paying, I get handed my bag and I

park my car and start to eat.

I still can't believe I'm doing this.

I look at the clock to see I had another

hour and a half until my parents

meeting was over, which wasn't a lot of

time to see everything, but I'll take it.

I pull out my phone and go onto google

maps.

There were so many places that I didn't

even know where to start.

So, I closed my eyes and pointed at a

random spot on my phone like any non

childish person would do.

When I open them, I smile.

The local park...

Perfect.

I start up the car and pull out, with

one thought on my mind, I am going to

make the most out of this hour and a

half.

"EXCuse me lady, have you seen my

sister?" Ilook back to see a boy looking

up at me.

I decided to walk around the park for a

while since I got bored of sitting on the

bench looking like the loner I am.

"No T'm sorry I haven't," I kneel down

to the boy, "but I can help you find her

if you want?"

"Really?" His eyes brighten as I nod my

head at him.

"What is your name? 1 question him.

My name is Jake." e says.

Tagain nod my head and stand up and

signal him to follow me.

"What does she look like?"

"Well, she has glasses, uhm.."

Tlaugh as Iwatch him try to think.

Oh she has brown hair...uhm.."

"Anything else?"

"She is pretty lazy."

I don't think that will help."

"She reads too many books, like who

does that?"

"I think we are getting a little off

track.."

"She actually likes school!" He says

throwing his hands up in the air.

So now I know how difficult it is to be a

good person.

Great.

We continue walking in silence for a

couple of minutes until we get to the

main clearing.

At least I'm pretty sure this is the main

clearing.

Did I mention I have never been here

before?

I try to look around for someone who

fits his..

Not very good description.

"Is there anything else you can tell me?

Like what she is wearing?"

"I don't krnow." He says shrugging his

shoulders.

Meanwhile I feel like banging my head

against a wall.

"Jake!! Oh my gosh you gave me a

heart attack!! Are you okay? I am such

a horrible sister!" A voice cries out.

I look ahead of me to see a girl, who

looks the same exact age as me, run

Over and engulf, what I'm guessing now is her brother in a hug

After they hug and I stood there

awkwardly for a couple of seconds, the

girl turns to me. "Hi, my name is Julie."

She smiles at me and holds out a hand.

I'm Ella." I say back shaking her hand.

Thanks for helping my brother, I'm

pretty sure my mom would have killed

me in my sleep if I lost him." She says.

I laugh as her face shows complete

horror as if she was imagining her

mother.

"It was really nothing." I shrug, but she

shakes her head at me.

"No really, thanks! Are you new?"

"What do you mean?"

"To this town, I haven't seen you here

before.." she starts to say but I shake

my head at her.

T'm homeschooled" I say and she nods

her head in understanding.

"Oh, okay." she says, suddenly, her

eyes go wide.

Oh no."

"What's wrong?"

"By any chance do you know what time

it is?" She questions.

I pull out my phone, "5:30, why?"

"I just promised my friend I would be

at his match. I better go. It was nice to

meet you." She says and waves as her

and Jake scurry out of the park.

I decide that I should leave too just

incase my parents meeting is done

early.

I walk back to my car and start to head

back home.

Well, at least that's what I thought.
