Fighting For Freedom (Fighting Series Book 1)

Dear God,

Please protect me on my new adventure please don't let my father find me and please don't let this plane fall .

Amen

I see my reflection on the window and I look exactly how I feel. Crazy. My eyeliner is smudge all over my eyes. I take the corner of my hoodie and clean my face. I have to calm my self down before people start noticing me. Every once in a while a glance out the window making sure no one is standing there like Michel Meyers waiting for me. I feel like my life has turned in to a horror movie running away from the killer who always finds their victim no matter how far they run. Why is this plane taking for ever to depart? I have eaten all my nails by now. "Good morning everyone. My name is Chad and I'll be your pilot for today I hope you guys enjoyed your stay in Las Vegas. Hopefully you still have a place to live. Our destination this beautiful morning is New York City the Big Apple. We will arrive in 5 hours please sit back and enjoy the ride and no there are no snakes on this plane. A little humor this morning over and out". I hear people laughing around me but I am so nervous to understand the joke. All I feel right now is pain due to my ankle it's pumping like if it had it's own pulse. I look down and it's swollen it looks like I'm growing a second head down there. I hope I didn't break it because that would be just my luck. Once the plane raises up and leaves the ground all I feel is relief. I feel like the world was just lifted off my shoulder. I am free at last! I did it I actually did it. I can't believe it. I start to laugh out of joy mix with nerves. For the first time since I been sitting here I notice that some one is seating next to me. He must think that I'm crazy "No snakes on the plane" I say finally getting the joke. He gives me a small smile and quickly looks away. I don't blame him who wants to be sitting next to the crazy girl who looks like death but is laughing? I don't care what any one thinks right now all I care is that I am free. For now of course who knows for how long but I am going to enjoy every second I can. I am going to New York where no dream is to big or to small, where the city never sleeps, where you fall in love. I can't wait to start my new free life. I need to keep myself busy so I reach for Nina's envelope I have been dying to see what's inside. Oh my god my eyes bug out that's a lot of money. Why would Nina give me so much money for my birthday? I reach for the letter and tuck the envelope inside the other one. I unfold the letter and start reading it.
