Thinking Things Over
Emily kept rethinking the next step in her mind. She has been thinking of doing it for several months now but every time her fears stopped her. Although, this time her willingness to take the risk was much stronger than her fears. She felt like it was a “now or never” moment.
Back And Forth
After thinking about her thoughts for quite a while, Emily started to walk towards her room. She was trying to rethink all the consequences of this one act of hers. She knew it will affect her mom the most but will she think of herself or her mom? Emily was tired of the daily mess and was looking for a permanent solution.
Going Outside
Emily went out for a walk. When she returned home, she had already made up mind. After going through all the pros and cons of it she made this decision. For her, the pros were much more than the cons. She was just a step away from putting her idea into action.
A Pep Talk
Emily immediately hurried to her room and started to look out for her stuff. She was panicking and had to sit down for a moment to give herself the pep talk. With a few deep breaths, Emily finally gained the guts to do what she had been overthinking about for many months now. She was ready for action after keeping her feelings aside.
The Plan
Emily looked at her desk and she knew she had to do it now. She was ready to run away from her home. It looked like she couldn’t handle all these arguments anymore. Running away seemed like the perfect choice to make as this way both Pam and Emily could stay happy. Disappearing forever while her mother was out for work seemed like the wisest decision.
Packing Up
Emily was all set to run away. It was the perfect time to do it. Taking out her backpack from the top shelf, Emily kept all her valuable items inside it. She kept her PS, cell phone, and a few clothes. She carefully placed the letter at the kitchen counter for her mom to read once she is back home. She took a last look at her home and left.
