It was 7 pm, Dad wasn't home I called him to ask permission for the party I knew he wouldn't agree but I still decided to try after a long ring the call was received but instead of dad, I heard Mr. Ferras voice, "Hello, Aurora dear, your dad is a bit busy if you want I can transfer your message to him" I was really disappointed because he started to ignore my calls too now. "Just tell him HE IS NOT MY DAD ANYMORE!" I said in a loud voice and decline the call my eyes were getting blurred, tear were falling down my cheeks to my lips, Ms. Claudia came to me, "What happen dear are you okay?". "I am not a baby anymore, Ms. Claudia stop treating me like a kid I don't need you anymore, I am a grown-up!" I shouted at her and went to my room and shut the door loudly. I put my head inside a pillow and cried really hard for 2 hours
It was now 10 pm, only an hour was left for the party I was worried about my reputation in front of Elvin I kept thinking but I couldn't identify what to do suddenly my eyes saw the window, the same window once I ran away from to go to my mom's grave I still remember I was just 13-year-old at that time I didn't remember the map or the way to my home I was lost I sat on a footpath crying really hard, a man came to me and tried to kidnap me I screamed and punched him and this is when I heard gunshots, 4 man wearing suits were firing at him but he manages to run away and threw me on the road my head hit the road and I fainted and when my eyes got open I found Dad and Ms. Claudia looking at me in a hospital room, the memories of running away from home were really bad they horrify me, but once again, I was thinking of running away, I was really afraid but I had only this way to go to the party. I had only, 1 hour left I wrote a note and pasted that on the door that please don't disturb me I don't wanna talk then I went to my wardrobe I had so many dressing that I never got I chance to wear but among them, there was my favorite dress it was cyan and had a very beautiful design I decided to wore it, it was looking absolutely gorgeous, I really wanted to wear it, then, I first tied my hair in a ponytail but suddenly some words came to my mind that was from a person who I just met 2 days ago, "Your hairs, they are beautiful; you shouldn't tie them let them be free like birds". "what is wrong with me why do I care; I won't open my hairs huh!" I said to myself. I did some makeup and look in the mirror I was looking beautiful I got up and opened the window but I stopped and get in front of the mirror thought for a second and opened my hair, "I didn't do it for him I did for myself!!" I tried to explain myself but deep down I knew I didn't do that for me.
I came out of the window, there was a slope-looking space I put my right leg out first then left, there was a pipe, I used that before too, to go down but at that time I wasn't wearing something fancy and I was a kid it was easier before but now It was a little harder I was standing a lot of feet up on slippery space the fear of getting caught was more than falling down I saw the same pipe, I started to move toward it, I pressed my back to the wall so I could have some support I used my right hand to hold the pipe than I moved my left hand and hold it fully, now I was standing on the space just holding the pipe, suddenly I saw Ian at the door I knew he would see if I didn't go down right now, my heart sucked out, then I closed my eyes and slipped through the pipe I didn't know how but I made it, "oh! Yes" I appraised myself I was getting late I ran, ran, and ran. I tried finding a taxi but I couldn't I was really anxious once again I was lost, I moved forward but there was no one except some weird looking 2 men, one of them came in front of me he looked drunk, "Where are you going dear do you want me to drop you," he said while laughing I looked at him and ignored him and started moving faster but one of the men hold my hand and started speaking, "Why are you running" I was scared more than when I was outside my window one man held my one arm, other the other one I shouted, "leave me, you freaky crazy old man". I tried to push them, to hit them but I couldn't, suddenly someone pushed one of the men so hard that he fell and held the other one from his collar and punched him so hard I opened my eyes he was Elvin I was so thankful that he was here his car was behind him, one of the men pulled out his knife and tried to hit him but he broke that man's arm, he looked like he was trained to fight. Both men ran away then Elvin rushed toward me, "Are you okay?" my eyes were all blurry, he was asking me a lot of things but my mind was so empty that I could identify what he was saying, I unintentionally hugged him he suddenly stopped talking and got all awkward, "umm…Aurora i..ts ok... dear" he tried to confront me, I cried so hard like I did when I first met Ms. Claudia he didn't push me away nor I wanted to leave him we stay still for minutes than I moved away, "Tha..n..ks" I said awkwardly. "It's okay but are you mad, you should be more careful" he said and it felt like he is someone mine, like someone I can trust I was emotional he told me to sit inside his car so I did
"Why were you going alone to the party where was your driver", he asked. "Maybe I don't have one" I tried to hide the fact that I escaped my house. "Umm, you think I am a fool? Love your dad is one of the richest men in California and you want me to believe you that you don't have a driver" he said. "He is not at home he had gone to his home town" I lied to him. "Right, and he is the only driver you have, you want to say this right". "FINE! I escaped from my house to go to Adam's party, "I said with frustration, he laughed so hard that I was ashamed "Is that your house or jail that you have to escape from it," he said while giggling, I was offended. "Mind your own business". He went quiet for a while then asked, "How did you escape?". "From my window," I told him, he was not laughing, now he was shocked, "You what?? Really your room is like several feet up". "umm there is a pipe outside my room I used that to climb down". I told him while looking down. "You amazed me, girl! Now I like you" he patted my head and said. I blushed my heart started to run fast suddenly something disturbed my mind, "How do you know my room is several feet up?". He got all confused, "Maybe, secretly stalked you because I am in love with you and I watch you sleep every night," he said while looking into my eyes. I was shocked my heart skipped a beat my eyes widened and my cheeks were all red, "Wh..aa..tt?" I finally manage to say. He was still looking into my eyes and come closer and pinched my cheek and started laughing, "Hahaha, watch your face you, I am just kidding I was passing by your house in my car when I saw you standing in your window". I felt awkward and shy, "Your jokes are ridiculous,". I said annoyingly. "but, it can be true if you want, baby girl" I reddened but I knew it was another silly joke so I ignored it "We'll reach Adam's house in just 20 minutes," he said. I looked at my dress It was torn and my hairs were all messy I asked him to drop me at my house. "Why you have escaped with a lot of effort but?" he asked. I told him, "My make-up is all messed up and my hair and my dress". "umm ok but aren't you hungry?" he asked. I look at my stomach it was growling, I didn't even eat lunch and I skipped dinner too, "Nah, I am okay". I told him. "Maybe we can go to the restaurant nearby," I thought a lot and agreed at the end, "fine if you insist". He laughed and I smiled too
