You get bored of watching tv, so you grab your phone and headphones, putting them on and playing your playlist on Spotify. On shuffle of course.

After a while, you finish eating. You didn't really eat, you just picked at your food. You had assumed your mother left, so you start to Head downstairs to put your dirty dishes in the sink. But you stop, you Turn Your Music down a bit, so you can barely hear it.

You can hear them. Talking. Talking about you.

"You Actually thought I loved them?" Gordon says, then scoffs. "They aren't Even Mine. You cant lie to me Rita."

"You think i don't know that! I was the one who-"

"Shut up. Shut up. Shut up! You had to cheat on me with him."

"You shut up! At least he cared about me!"

"Until he broke your Little heart. Isn't that right Rita? You can't push a guy around and expect him to put up with it. Heaven knows I tried." Gordon replies. You've never heard him talk like this...it's scary. It's like How Your mom talks...

The words ring in your head "you Actually thought I loved them?"

That was about you. You just know it.

You thought this was your safe space. He ISNT Even Your real dad? Then who is?

Are you ever gonna find a real Home...Are you ever gonna find peace and comfort? Are you ever gonna find Your real dad?

The volume on your headphones slowly cranks up. You aren't doing that. Oh well.

"I'm not Doing anything. I'm not doing anything."

You freeze. You need to get out of here. As soon as possible.

"My body's Made of crushed little stars."

You run to your room, closing the door, breathing heavily, your eyes watering, tears streaming down your face as you frantically pack your bag.

This isn't happening again. It wasn't supposed to. This was supposed to be Home.

"And I'm not doing anything."

You grab random things. Shoving them in your bag.

"I wanna see the whole world."

This was all a ruse. It was all a game. You were a puppet in their show, forced to dance around on a string until it-

-SNAPS.

"I wanna see the whole world."

You grab your backpack, hopping out of the window, before running away from the large property.

"I don't know how I'm gonna pay rent."

You run. And run. Until your feet hurt and you feel like collapsing, it's darker out now. You left around two...What is it? Six? You don't have a phone. Gordon has your number.

You feel so tired...you don't know where you are...it's so dark...stupid daylights savings time...

You pass a bus stop. No one's there...maybe you could catch the next bus?...you still have some cash...

You take a seat on the bench. It's really old...and dirty...someone should take better care of this thing...

You feel so tired...so sick...so scared...

You might throw up.

Just calm down...

"I wanna see the whole world."

You sit on the bench, knees to your chest, your breath becomes uneven, your eyes water, you feel lightheaded.

And then it all goes black...

Until your eyes flutter open to the sight of bright lights, the bus is here!

You quickly stand up, rushing over to the bus.

You pay your fee, and sit in the back, still trembling a bit.

"Would you kill me, Jerusalem?"

You sit in the back corner, you feel really tired...so you fall asleep. No one else is on the bus, besides the driver of course.

So you fall asleep. The clock says it's 10. Maybe you left later than you thought... or ran longer than you should've...

Either way you're tired, so you fall asleep against the glass window pane, Making It fog up slightly.

And you stayed there. You weren't sure where you were going. You could be going in circles for all You care.

After a few hours You Wake up. The bus...stopped?

Oh right. Buses stop sometimes.

Apparently it's so you can use the bathroom or whatever. Or Buy snacks? You don't really feel like it.

So the bus starts up again. A few more people have gotten on since you fell asleep. A young couple, and an old lady. Neither of them seem mean...

So you just start messing around with stuff in your bag. You don't have a phone. So What More Can you do...

You had zoned out, you zone back in at the bus driver patting your shoulder. A Bit rough if You're being honest... "get up kid. I ain't drivin' yer ass around no more." He says, with a thick accent, but you can't quite tell which kind...

You freeze on the spot. "I-"

"I Said Off My bus." He says harshly before roughly grabbing your shirt and pulling you up.

"I-Uhm- I'll go..." you manage to stutter out, the nervousness in your voice making him laugh.

"Damn right You will..." He mutters through chuckles.

You quickly grab your bag before getting off the bus, which promptly drives away. Leaving you there, in the middle of the night.

You stand there for a bit. Not sure what to do.

After a bit, the blinding lights of a diner in the distance light up the Dark night sky. Wouldn't hurt right? So you start walking in that direction.

The place was a bit empty, but also lively, the place Look Like it was pulled out of the 50s or 60s, you Take a seat in a booth.

You look around, Theres an old guy at the bar, typical. An elderly couple dancing to the Music on the jukebox, cute. And besides the two, maybe three workers you can see, that's it. Besides you of course. You definitely aren't asking the guy at the bar for help. And the old couple are too busy...you'll leave them alone. At least until They Stop dancing.

So you sit in your booth, zoned out, before you are politely tapped on the shoulder, much different than the bus driver. You quickly jerk your head in the direction of who tapped you, it's a waitress with a menu.

"Ya alright there feller? Haven't seen ya 'round here before" she said, he voice had a slight southern twang to it.

You manage to stutter out a response. "Oh uhm- yes- I uh-"

"That's good. I brought ya yer menu, go ahead n take a look, I'll be back in a sec" she smiles before walking away.

You look over the menu, you have money in your wallet...lots. Leftover from jojo and Gordon. But for some reason you feel the need to...use it as little as possible. Even skipping out on food.

Nevertheless, you skim over the menu about a hundred thousand times, you've settled on pancakes. It does say they're the best in the world...

So when the waitress comes back, that's what you order.

You were about to ask her for directions, but get distracted by the bell of the door ringing, meaning she went to not only put your order in, but seat whoever walked in too.

You look over, you don't know why, but you were expecting to see someone you know. Like a...celebrity? Maybe the lack of sleep is getting to you. Even though you've slept a lot today. Maybe you overslept? You aren't sure anymore.

But after a while, your order comes out, and you eat it. In silence. After you finish, the waitress comes back over, holding a mug.

"Broughtcha somethin'" she says through a smile, placing the mug in front of you.

"Oh uh- how much do I owe you?.." you ask nervously

"Oh no worries, it's on the house." She smiles again.

"Really?" Your eyes light up slightly.

"Mhmm! Now go ahead, drink up. It's cold out there yknow? And you've got no jacket..."

You laugh nervously, rubbing the back of your neck awkwardly. "Yeah...g-guess so..."

The waitress, who you've figured outs name is sandy, walks away.

Screw it. You don't need directions. So you finish up the hot chocolate, and of course you leave a nice tip. She gave you free food!

You speed walk out of the diner. You walk by the road, walking in the woods is how you get lost...

A few cars pass, they don't pay you any mind, you don't either.

But after a while of walking...you get tired...and you fall asleep under a tree, shivering.
