It's been a week now since I ran away. I called my parents if I could stay with them. For some reason or the other they were cool with it. What the ....? That's weird but I ain't gonna say anything until I leave home to go to uni. (Mention more later)

"Alexia?" My mom yelled from upstairs. "Yes...?" I said or asked. "Help me with the dishes!" She yelled again. "Ugh... Okay!" I yelled back annoyed and happy. At least she didn't want to talk to me about that "situation" right?

I slowly made my way downstairs and went to clean the dishes.
"Lexi?"
"Yes mom?"
"Why'd you run away from Mark?" She asked with sympathy in her eyes.
There it was. Her eyes. I could tell why my father fell in love with her...

I didn't want to talk about it... How do I explain it? She's staring at me now and I feel my eyes are tearing up. She can see me about to explode in tears. Yet, she turns my face towards her. I first close my eyes tight trying to block the tears about to stream down my cheeks.

"I... He hurts me!" I yell out to get it over with now crying my eyes out.
"Shhh... It's okay... Don't worry... I'm here... Tell me everything..."

I told her everything. How he hurt me. How he yelled at me. How he almost killed me. Everything.

After I tell her she pats my back soothingly. My eyes running with tears still and my mascara all ruined.

I'm actually happy my mom is there for me. After my dad died when I was 2 things were horrible. My mom didn't have a job and she received the smallest amount of money to live on for 6 months. Somehow we managed thanks to her.

I don't want to leave her but I have to go to uni next week and it's in New York but I live in Florida. Lucky for me I already have my plane ticket for tomorrow but I need some money. I booked some cheap ass apartment close to my uni but I still need a job. I already have the first 2 months rent and I have only a limited time to find my job and live on my own.

My luggage is already packed and I have 6 hours to sleep. I lay on my bed. My mom doesn't know I'm leaving tomorrow. I feel a little guilty so I decide to write her a note with my number and shit like that.

-----------------------------------Next Morning------------------------------

"And we danced all night to the best song ev-" I have to get up now and turn my alarm off. If you noticed I love One Direction but never had the chance to go to any of their concerts.

I take of my clothes and jump into the warm shower allowing the hot water to touch my skin. I feel so relaxed... Worry free... Hakuna Matata... (Hehe... Lame I know... :P...)

I finish showering and get dressed in this

After I am ready I still have an hour so I write my mom a letter.

"Dear mom?,
Uh... Yeah.... Well... I know I came home after a year and I haven't spent as much time with you and all and I'm sorry... But I'm leaving to New York today so I can attend university. I promise to visit sometime and call as well...
Anyways I'll miss you a lot and you can call me at my cell number...
If you forgot it's ***-***-****
I promise to call when I reach there!!!
I have to leave now bye!!!
Love you lots,
Alexia XOXO"

I leave the note on my mom's dresser and make my way to the front door. Grace should be here anytime soon...

--------------------------skipping ride to the airport----------------------

"Thank you so much Grace! I love you so much!" I say wiping a tear.
"Hey. It's fine. That's what sisters are for right?" She said calmy.
"Yeah..." I nod
I hug her tightly and make my way to the luggage drop off and the check in.

Sooner than I've expected I board the plane and find my seat, which is in of course third class because I can't afford first.

I take my seat next to a really cute guy... Should I ask of his name?

"Hey. Did you know you think loud?" He said tapping my shoulder.
"Sorry..." I say blushing.
"It's fine... Haha... Anyways I'm Brandon... Brandon Wesley. And you are?" He smiles
"I... I'm Alexia... Alexia Wright." I blush insanely.
