One day i was at home my mom and i got into a argument we always got into arguments,but she always took her anger out on me and i hated that.i felt like i was a bother to her and it would be easier and better if i was gone.That night i went in my room got my clothes and start putting them in my bag i was so scared and worried but it was the best thing to do at that time.When i was laying down i set my alarm to 4:30 in the morning to start getting ready to go,then around 5:30 i hopped out my window and start speed walking to the bus stop.So many things were going through my head and emotions,i got on the bus then start heading to my friend house.At elder creek i had to get off and walk from the bus stop it took me about 20 minutes to walk to my friend house.When I got there my friend didnt know i was coming, i knocked on the door and he came outside,”What are you doing here” i said “ Well i have no where else to go”.

He was very upset that i came unannounced i was heka nervous because his mom wanted to meet me,i walked in and she said”Whats your name.” I told her and she was like, “How old are you?” I said “18.”

I lied about my age so I can stay so I was staying there for like 3 were now and I started to feel comfortable,and started liking it there but i was missing my family a lot but i was doing me at that time.His mom always kept asking me “Did you call your mom yet” i would always say “No” not yet she would be upset about it because i wouldnt really go no where.My friend big brother was cool with me we always talked he was the only person that acually knew what happend and kept convincing there mom to let me stay longer cause i needed it. I was scared to go back home cause i been gone for a couple of weeks no contact with family or friends,even when i went to the store i was afraid if i would run into any family or family frinds of my mom that was the reason why i stayed in the house most of the time.

It was like the 5th week i been there now there sister was about come home from juvenile so all the family left and i stayed with my big play brother,so we heard noises and loud voices and it was there younger sister her room was the garage.When she came in there she was like”Wsup” i said “Hey” then she went into the house start talking to her mom there sister was on ankle for a while. I started to get used of her we started talking and chilling together and she thought i was 18 she would always say “You look heka young to be 18 you look like you could be 15” i stood there with a shock i didn't want to blow my cover because there mom she thought i was 18 if she knew i was 15 she would have kicked me out and i would have been on the streets stranded.The neighborhood wasn't that safe for any child to be outside out dark,where they stayed was in Elder Creek and it would be too much going on.

This one day i was walking towards walmart and the dollar tree and i was heading back towards their house it was a 30 min walk.I kept looking around me for my surroundings i was trying to walk fast enough to hurry up and get back in the house, so as i was walking i heard a car beep at me i wanted to look so badly so when the car past i kinda recognized the car.The car pulled up to me and it was my mom church friend he said “Your mom has been looking for you” i didn't say nothing i kept walking he kept saying “Get in the car” i said “No” i have somewhere to go. He called my mom i stopped then i saw my auntie car pulling up towards me and my mom got out the car and hugged me and started crying and holding me tight.When i got back home i had to fight to go back to Fern Bacon and test which took me a long time but i got to walk across the stage and promoted i was proud of myself.
