Chapter one hundred nine: "A Bit Better"

I wiped the tears that are forming in my eyes, haha I'm getting emotional

But I truly want them to be happy, before I went in the elevator I looked at the penthouse one last time

Who knew in such a short amount of time I would be making a lot of memories here? my hand went to touch the wall, I was starting to feel extremely sad. My eyes landed on the sofa and there it sat the gift Cloud had given me during his trip to Spain
Should I bring it?

I guess I did say bring everything I had in this penthouse to make it seem like I wasn't here in the first place

The father clock indicated that it was already noon, I grabbed the book and put down the key card beside the letter
I won't be using the card anymore, might as well leave it there

"Goodbye Cloud" I whispered to myself imagining Cloud was in front of me smiling

The Cloud I imagined in front of me was hugging me and I could only pretend to feel his embrace

I would have thought that Cloud could be someone I could lay my head on his shoulder to rest and be comforted the way I helped him sleep, turns out he doesn't feel that way about me

Don't be sad Penelope

Yara and Peter were already waiting for me at the underground parking lot with a concerned and sad expression on their faces while looking at me exit the elevator
They must have been trying to control themselves

"Let's get going" Yara told me and I nodded to her

I hopped in the car and Peter started the engine "Do you want to see your home one last time?" He looked at me in the mirror
Home?

I would love to go home as well but I'm not welcomed

"Yes" seeing my home for the last time will be for the better, Yara extended her hand out from her seat and held mine in a comforting manner "We're with you, I know that feeling so don't worry"

"Thank you Yara and you too Peter" I smiled at both of them, they grinned at me in return

"Say I heard you were going to head to the seaside to meet with your close elementary school friend, can we visit you? I've been wanting to swim at the beach" Peter asked me while his eyes were glued on the road

I chuckled "Of course, you both can, they own an ice cream shop too"

Yara and Peter squealed in excitement

Yara told me "We'll always keep you updated on what's happening here"

Knowing what happens here at home would not put me at ease but it would be ok to check on them one or two times just in case, I could just imagine the trouble Peter and Yara has to go through just so they can get updates on my family, friends, and Cloud

The car arrived on my street where my home is located, we stopped at the very front of my home. I looked at it longing for me to go back to my family but if I return it would only become tense in there

"I think you should get all of your information including your birth certificate, with you running away it would help you enroll yourself in a new school" Yara suggested to me and I never thought of that

I hurriedly went to the back door and find the key that we hid under the flower pot to open it, all of our information is in Mom and Dad's bedroom in a drawer. I climbed up the stairs and went straight to the master's bedroom where their room was located
