“ Honey it’s time to get up” my mother said from outside my door. I got up and start getting dressed for school I the clothes I left out last night to wear for the day was basically everything leather, leather pants leather boots leather jacket and a white tank top. When I was going to head downstairs get some breakfast I notice that everything is clean everything was, are we having a visitor today if we did I didn’t know about it I wonder why my mom didn’t tell me. “ good morning mom what’s for breakfast” I said they sat down on the in the kitchen chair she looked up at me and smiled “don’t you have school your going to be late” she said I wonder why she’s acting like this she’s never acted like this there’s always time for breakfasts what is visitor more important than I. Who was this person and why did it have such an effect on my mom and I have to find out. “Okay mom I’m going, have it your way is it hot date I bet it is” I said smiling as I walked out the door I heard her call someone on the phone as I walked out who was she talking to why after I left is so weird what’s going on does she have a big secret that’s trying to hide from me I need to know this what’s going on. When I made it down to the bus stop my bus was about to leave without me, man my mom would have been mad if I had missed the bus I’m glad I made it on time when I stepped onto the bus there is an open seat. Thank God. I didn’t want to share a seat with someone I didn’t know, it would have been weird I look at my surroundings and I seen lots of trees green grasses flowers lots of houses so pretty I wonder who owns them. My mother and I it’s just the two of us she told me that my father left me well us mean but she never told me why she never says anything about him its weird its like he never existed but if he was never existed then how am I here I wonder why he left us does he care, where is he, all these questions will never be answered because he’s not here. I pulled out my phone as I sit down when we arrive to school I get off the bus quickly I had to my locker my backpack was heavy so I started walking down the hall faster and faster. “ hey Kate what’s up you have a reply to my text why are you ignoring me it’s rude” my friend John said in a teasingly voice he gave me a quick hug and then let go and push me back which is surprising to me because he was never violent did I do something that would explain why he was  acting like this he was acting like his normal self when he hug me but this how you acting was not him why is he doing it he looked at me with hatred inside why is acting like this why did he was looking at me like this we're best friends and I do something so bad felt guilty inside for something I don't even know what I did. " What's your problem John I didn't do anything to you why you acting like this what's wrong with you I'm your best friend how can you treat me like this" I said with hurt in my voice. " Friend I think not would a friend ignore them for weeks not planning why they won't come over or why they won't speak to me you're not a friend to me at all Kate as long as I know we're strangers you're no friend to me who are you Kate you've changed I don't even know you anymore." He walk away with the anger in his eyes tears started flowing out of my eyes I can't stop them even if I tried I won't be able to stop I just lost my only and best friend and what do I do now who will I talk to when I'm sad when I'm angry I'm going to miss him so much tears kept flowing flowing they never stopped. I skip school I can even go to my first class. I ran out of the school as the tears flowed down my face and as fast as I could to get home when I got there there was something different there was a new car like a fancy car in my driveway.

I running to the house I see a man sitting on my couch with my mom why are they talking like we know each other my mom didn't know anyone  except of the people that her work and I've never seen him there before so walk up to my mom and I'm going to find out what this is " hi mom is this your date why don't you introduce me to him I am your daughter of course" she gave me a look that said not now now we'll talk later but I wanted to talk now then walked up to the man and said " hi I'm Kate what's your name" " I am Raj and I'm your father I waited years to meet you I'm sorry I was not here sooner" what he's my father this is not good I ran out of houses for the man could say anything else. I ran  as fast as I could  away from the house and into the woods the woods was like my home I love the woods I love nature it was like I was the mother of nature I often spend my time there all day and all night sometimes but I never could stay there for a long before mother would get worried.But this time I don't care she could worry all she wanted to I didn't care she just ruined my life I never wanted to meet the man who left us who left me the tears of my face towards her flowing so fast I tripped and fell to the ground sobbed and I laid there all night I didn't stop crying not even in my sleep why did you come back father why why now after all this time I'm 18 he is no reason to be in my life now he can't watch me have my first step or  my first word he missed it all and now he wants to come back into my life I wonder why but I'm not staying to find out I'm never coming back there I can't I'll probably lose control and things will happen that I regret later I can never never go back. When I wake up it's morning in my stomach's growling I'm hungry but what should I do should I hunt for food or go catch some fish by the lake I don't know I'm lost I ran so far from home I've never been this far where is home which direction did I come from. Just when I can't take anymore I get up in search for food I see a banana tree right by here so I go climb a tree and grab 5 bananas I am starving my stomach hurts from starvation so I didn't eat I lwould have died in pain. After I'm done eating I dispose of the bananas and look for freshwater so I head down to the lake I jump straight in without a second thought I love how cold the water was man I love swimming it was my favorite thing to do was my favorite thing to do but now I think of all the good times me my mom had at the beach so I climb out of the water just lay there on the dirt yeah I know my clothes will get dirty all over again and lean in by the lake and take a drink and I jump back in the water to clean myself off and I start running knowing that I can never return to my life as it once was but this is what I want right now and I would miss mom but I know what I am doing is right and that I will not regret this later. I have always wanted an adventure so this is my chance and I'm taking it and never letting it go this is my choice my life. I run and run into my feet hurt when they do I stop and take 10 minute breaks in between and I grab some bananas to eat well done with them I place them back onto the ground and started running again.

As I'm running I hear a howl it sounds so beautiful I love it I want to look for it I stopped my tracks and I wait for the howl again but it doesn't come so I just keep running and by the time I stopped again it's already night so grab some wood it is not making a fire so I just lay there in the dark. I lay there without a blanket without a pillow but just solid ground I'm going to miss my warm bed my soft blankets my comfortable pillows I'm going to miss everything but everything I will do from now on will be worth it. I will live my own life I'm 18 now so I don't need a parent to tell me what to do I'm an adult. When I start to fall asleep again I heard same how I had heard earlier but this time... there's more then just one it comes closer and closer and I feel helpless then where I try to run I will fail and they will find me and I will die I don't want this maybe I should have stayed back there I started crying I started sobbing I feel back
