epiphany,
I told him I had to go.
No more runaway.
He was not real thrilled.
He'd brought me there, you know?
A way to keep me.
I would need some help.
It's not like he'd drive me home.
(Just take me from it.)
One of those "
adults"
who hadn't done anything
had been his mother.
She knew I was there.
We'd even stayed there one night.
But she'd lied "for me."
My parents had called
worried, anguished, scared to death.
And She? Lied. To. Them. (!!)
She hadn't seen us,
had no idea where we were,
her deceitful words.
This while my parents
wondered, worried, drove and search'd.
(Mom, Dad, I'm sorry.)
He must have snowed her,
snowed her so incredibly,
the audacity!
Still, she did help me.
She bought me a bus ticket.
Half of my battle.
Mysteriously,
his brother flipped the hell out.
I mean really flipp'd...
...He started ranting,
speaking crazy, throwing stuff,
begging me to stay.
It was all scary,
bet he'd put him up to it,
one last ditch effort.
Crazy backfired,
bolstered my new determined.
I was out of there.
