The woman smiles as she opens the door for me. I gawk at the apartment. We head into the living room.
"Hi, I'm Kelsey," she said
"I'm Kelly," I say shaking her hand. I walk across the room.
"So this is the living room, you have a guest room, your your room, kitchen , and bathroom. So, here's the contract," she says handing a piece of paper to me. I look up at her.
"How long at least do I have to stay here not o break the contract? And how much is rent?" I look down at the contract back to her.
" At least 5 months, and it's $200.00 a month," I nod my head and sign my name on the dotted line.
"I'll move in today if that's okay," I say. She replies with a quick 'yeah and I have to go goodbye.'

The apartment looks like I've been here for at least 2 years. I've unpacked already and started decorating. Putting pictures all over the place. I make sure to keep pictures of family only in my room, and that's just in the closet. I keep my old life on a low profile.
I decide if I want to hide here, I need to look different. Maye I should die my hair brown. Hmm....no, I don't want to. I'll just conceal myself from others. Maybe I'll just use different make up, and get a tan or something. I have no idea.
My thoughts get interrupted by my phone ringing. I am reluctant to answer the text, but I have no control when I feel my hands shoot to my phone. I should really get a new one, they could track my phone.

I'm not expecting u 2 answer this. I just want to know where you are. Please don't kill urself if that's what ur thinking. U do that and I'll do it 2.

Okay, I really need to get a new phone and number. I decide to take my money and go shopping. I get in my car and drive to a mall, following my GPS's directions.
