The Break That I Never Knew I Needed

When I tried to talk to my mom that night it started something that I didn't want it to. "Mom, you really need to listen to me" "I don't have to listen to anything" "Mom, its not fair that when I need things for school, you decide to spend the money on beer and other alcohol" "Well, maybe they are more important than your "schoolwork" "

If I were my sister, i would have heard all of this, then SLAM!!! The front door. And BAMBAMBAMBAM the sound of me knocking on the bedroom window to say goodbye and grab a coat.

I felt the cool December air whip my hair around like a mop as I struggled to get the coat that I had grabbed on. Once the struggle was over, I started running until I was out of breath, and by that time, I was out of my neighborhood and away from my life.
