Prolouge
I sat in the corner and I cried. The tears continued to fall even though I couldn’t make a sound. I knew by now that my eyeliner and mascara were streaming down my face, but that didn’t even matter. I was tired. I was hurting. I was lonely. I was broken. This was not the woman I had planned on being, but somehow life turned this way.
I sat up straight when I heard the footsteps stomping down the stairs, and jumped when I heard the front door slam. At that instant, a little bit of strength found me. I jumped up and grabbed my duffel bag, filling it with whatever clothing I could get my hands on. I grabbed my backpack and threw my laptop, iPod, notebooks, and pens, along with all my chargers, into it. I checked my purse to make sure that I had my make-up and throw my personal hygiene items in there and that all my cards were in my wallet.
Once I had my backpack on my back and duffel over my shoulder, I turned and walked to my closet. I closed my eyes and sighed before reaching for the lone oak jewelry box that adorned the top shelf. I sat the box on my bed, and opened it up to pull out the only thing that was housed inside: the letter. I picked it up and held it to my chest.
“You said if I ever needed anything, this would take care of it all,” I whispered into my empty room.
The letter was two years old, but he promised that no matter when I needed something, all I needed to do was take the letter and run. I had yet to open it, but I trusted him with my life. He was the only one who had ever cared for me completely.
I safely tucked the letter into my purse, grabbed my car keys, and ran out the door. Once everything was situated, I started the engine, and pulled away from the life I had always known, knowing I would never be back.
I sighed as I pulled onto the interstate, not knowing where I was driving to. But what I did know, was that I was leaving for good, and where ever I ended up, that would be where I would start again.
i hope you ladies enjoy the preview.
