Chapter One

(Elizabeth's pov)

Have you ever felt betrayed?

Have you ever lost complete faith in someone?

Have you ever felt alone?

That's exactly what I am feeling at this exact moment in time. I feel lost and completely, utterly alone for the first time.

Never have I thought that the one's whom I've helped would feed me to the wolves and to be used for their own enjoyment.

Right now I'm running, from whom you may ask?

My whole life!

I have no idea where I am headed to but anywhere is far better than here!

Where no one knows me.

I thought I would be supported in this. I really did wish they would help me get through this. I wanted people who cared about me, but I guess it was all about revenge for them and never loyalty.

"You can do this Lizzy, you just have to forget and start over again". I keep telling myself and repeating it as if saying it as my mantra.

Or maybe I could learn from it and never trust anymore. I don't want the repeat of what happened ever again.

It's 2am now and I'm trying to find a taxi. The roads look super creepy as there is a bend around each corner never knowing what could just jump out of thin air.

With the curvy roads and no light besides the moon light, it is not making me feel any better. It shows that my life is really full of darkness with no silver lining.

The woods are right next to me. At this hour it should be creepy and scary but it looks rather peaceful to me.

I had this deep inner feeling since I was little to just build a tree house, hide away and read all the books that I could find.

I love reading books. It was the only way to escape from my life. I really hope my life would be so easy as those characters in the books.

I've been hurt to many times in this town, but now it's time to get away and start a new life. A place that is a dream come true for few.

This small town I live in, news travel fast, like really fast. So it's just a matter a time that everyone will know and come looking for me.

I've managed to grab a little stuff like documents and my savings that I've kept for 3 years, which is $28 000. A lot huh! Well that's what you get when you used to be a part of a rich family.

"Finally" I say breathlessly. I spotted a taxi under the only street light on this narrow road. Isn't that kind of weird though?

I speed walk over feeling my legs ready to give up and tap the front window.

"What?" Rude much?

" Sorry sir, I need a ride to the airport. No questions asked and I'll pay you $100.

The man stared at me with wide eyes as if I've grown two heads and said "get in" once I was in he started to drive without no words said besides looking at me through the review mirror.

Well it would have been a 2-hour drive to the airport so it was fair enough plus look at the time, so I guess $100 fits my desperation at this moment.

'What the hell Lizzy, you have to stop being generous cause see what it got you in.'

I mentally role my eyes.

'I know, but sometimes you have to be bribed to get what you want. It's how this cruel world works.' I tell myself mentally. Leaning my head on the tinted glass window watching the trees fly by.

It's been over 2 hours and I can spot the airport from afar. It's after 4am now. I did not sleep on the way to the airport because I did not trust the taxi driver who looked creepy, like that guy from Home Alone 2, when Kevin stopped a taxi just to get creeped out and left.

Once we've reached the front doors to the airport I got out of the taxi and said "thanks and here's the $100". He did not reply, just sped off to who knows where.

Once I got in I was thankful to see that the lines were not to long cause the airport is packed with people, guess delayed flights.

I stood in the line behind a child who's being carried by her mother in red and her parents look like they love her so much. I wish I could feel my parents love again.

I make it to the front of the line without bursting into tears due to my obsessive thinking of family.

"Morning, I would like 1 ticket straight to New York." I said. Looking at the screen which shows that a plane to New York would be leaving soon. It's good because I don't want to be here any longer.

"Would you like a return ticket also." She asked.

"No thanks. I won't be returning"

"Okay, Please show me your ID and VISA."

Luckily I brought all my documents with me. Once I finished show her she said the price for the ticket is $380." I paid her with the money I had.

" Thanks" I said as she gave me my ticket, rushing to put the ticket into my bag because of the tears that's ready to burst out.

I quickly raced to the bathroom and closed the stall door. I sat down on the floor and that's when all the tears came flowing down. I could not stop them. That's all from the emotions I'm feeling right now.

I'm going to be alone with no one from now on. I won't feel the love of my parents anymore, I cannot trust anyone, I have to leave this place I've grown up in and make a new life for myself. All these feelings just exploded out of me.

I clean myself up and exit the stall and looked in the mirror only to see a 19-year-old girl so broken and lost. She just graduated and for the path she has to take now is so unfair.

I exit the bathroom to head to check point and after that whole long procedure I got onto the plane.

I try to find my seat. It's not a window seat which I wanted but that lady said that the plane is full and I cannot change.

And also there is a problem in first class so those business people would be joining us. ' I hate those who think of themselves as higher than others'.

I find my seat and it looks like it's occupied by an airhostes?

It looks like she is trying to calm the man by the window seat by making out with him!!!! My poor eyes.

I quickly block my eyes and clear my throat aloud so that it can be heard over their disgusting moans and grunts.

What the airhostes said next really pissed me off. "I'm busy, go bother someone else if you want anything." She said in such a rude manner that I wanted to punch that botched nose of hers sideways.

I did not really look at the man because her whole body was covering his. Like ewe get a room.

I responded back to her saying look here your hoeness, you are in my seat which I paid for. So could you move your hoe ass. I'm not in the mood to deal with someone as low as you. Making out with the passengers like what that hell and then you have a nerve to tell me off. You are so lucky that I never punch your fake nose."

She looked at me with wide eyes when I replied again because I never gave her a chance to speak if you don't stop looking at me with your wide eyes I would gladly take them out of your head so you better scram from here before I do just that".
