As I step in the house, I take a second to think about everything.

I stabbed him

Now hes dead

I have brothers

They live in new York

I'm moving in with said brothers

And I spent $60 on food that's going to go bad

I run up the stairs two at a time and grab a bag. I shove what little clothes I have and my mama's blanket and run back down. I was about to go out the door when I stopped and turned around. I walked to the living room and grabbed the photo of mama and me. I also grabbed all the money I could find.

"That was seven minutes kid, is that all of your stuff?" Was he really timing me? I thought he was joking. "Yes, all the stuff that matters. And dont call me kid... please" I was still out of breath

He looked at me funny and just shrugged and started to drive. It took us 30 minutes to the airport. "Now you plane number is 404. When you got off the plane one of your brothers will pick you up? Ok got that?" The cop who I know now as Robert. "Yes, for the tenth time yes, Robert I'll be fine. I have a great memory" I say as we get out of the car.

As he walks me to my gate we stop to get something to drink. Well more like him something to drink. When hes positive I know what to do he leaves me. Its was nice talking to other people then myself.

I have a small smile on when I feel someone's eyes on me. I look over to my right and this older couple looks at me. At the house I would watch old couples walk in by my window in mornings. I smiled at them but they glare back. I frown and look away

'They can see right through you. They know your fake'  I shake my head in attempt to get the thoughts out.

I look at the clock on the wall, I have 30 minutes till I have to get on my plane. I decide to close my eyes.

I'm jolted awake. I look to my left and to my right. I see a little kid on my right. It has sticky hands and its face is covered with chocolate.

"Hi! My name is uhhhhh my.... my name is Eleanor but I like ella!" I look at her for second. "Hallo ella, my name is Frankie" (hello) I say with a small smile.

She giggles "Why do you say it like that?" I pull my eyebrows together "what do you mean?"

She scrunched her face up "You said ummm hallo? Yeah you said hallo" oh oops

"Hallo means hello but in German, ella"

"Oh I like that! Wat else do you know in German?"

I was about to tell her something in German but I hear someone yelling. I turn my head in the direction and see a lady in her 30's. She looks like shes look for something. I turned back to ella and noticed that she has no parents with her.

"Hey ella, is that your mama?" I ask as I point to the lady. Ella look up from her hands and nodded really fast and runs to the lady. "Mommy! Mommy I'm right here!" Ella yells. Ella's mama look in our direction and rush to us.

Ella jumps in to her mama hands and starts to cry. The lady looks at  me. She grabs one my hands "Oh thank you thank you thank you!" I slowly remove my hand from hers " no need to thank me" I say with a smile.

I want back to my seat but before my butt hits the chair. Some announces flight 404 is now taking passengers.

I grab my bag and make my way to the gate. As I'm about to get on the plane  assistant says hello and hands my a bottled of water. I take it and make my way to my seat.

When the plan took off I thought I was going to crap myself. Is that normal? Its been a hour and I'm going to go out of my mind. There is at least 3 baby's here and they are all crying!

I look over at my neighbor and notice that she has ear plugs In. I tap her on the shoulder. She looks at me and pulls one ear plug out. "Do you need something?" She asked nicely

"yes, I noticed that you have ear plugs. Do you have extra that I can use?" She gives me a knowing look and went digging in her bag. She pulled out some ear plugs. "Oh thank you! Your a savior!" She just laughs and nods. I put the ear plugs in and just silence.

I closes my eyes. I know I won't sleep but itll make people leave me alone.
