No Way Out
"MOM! dad is trying to kick me out!"
"well did he explain why"?
"well... he kinda said it was because disobeyed him".
"house keeper! clean out her room. and pack her stuff."
"yes sir".
"Dad! where am I supposed to go? at the age of fifteen there is only so much I can do. on top of that I don't have any money".
"I will send you to live with cousin Mary until you get a job. I will send you with $150. that will get you through the first month".
"but dad! why didn't you kick out Jordan when he disobeyed you"?
"because he is my favorite".
"my name is Adeline Moon. and as you can see I was kicked out. but the truth is.. I was gonna leave anyways. no one cared about me".
it took me 3 hours to get off the property. I never knew how much land we owned. its unbelievable. its so cold. I need a coat. where is it?
"hello little lady".
"what can I do for you sir"?
"hmm... what do I want? I want your suitcase".
"but.. I need this".
so far my life is gone wrong. I was robbed and now I have nothing. and its the middle of winter. and of course it just started snowing. w...why.. does it always happen to me?
2 months later...
Well it took a week to get to My cousin's house. I didn't eat often. I blew through a lot of money. now I only have $100 left. what a nightmare.
"Adeline. I'm going to the store. wanna come too"?
"no I'm gonna rest for a while. im exhausted".
"alright then. don't answer the door for anyone. got it"?
"okay. be back soon. I didn't eat much".
"see you soon then".
I was way too tired to go anywhere. but then it happened... those guys showed up again. they followed me. and I gave in cause I couldn't even keep my eyes open for long. but what was weird was... this time they were nice to me. I was starting to talk but then I fell to my knees and fainted.
"where am I"?
"these people brought you here. you are at the hospital".
"what?! I'm not staying here".
"Mrs. Moon. you can't go anywhere. you are too weak right now. you were so hungry you passed out. but these gentleman were there to help".
"but those people robbed me".
"Miss, we were trying to carry your luggage. we weren't robbing you. we tried to explain. don't be so quick to assume".
"thank you. but how did you find me? did Mary send you to get me"?
"yes ma'am".
"that makes so much more sense. I apologize for getting the wrong idea. you guys... I will buy you dinner for helping me. I owe you. if you hadn't shown up I would've died".
"no need for that".
"no. I insist. its my treat".
"no you need to rest. we will visit tomorrow".
"but that last one... he looked familiar... where would I know him"?
