C3 Im going to run away

Ella POV

"I'm gonna run away " I said with a tone of finality.

Maybe that was best for me , they night probably not even notice if I'm gone.

"What?! You can't do that , not on my watch" Chelsea half yelled staring at me in horror.

" You don't have to be there when I'm running away" I shrugged.

" I'm not going to let you run away , I know it's not easy living with them but_" she paused.

"It's not , that's why I have decided to leave, I've endured for so long " I cut her off.

"Babe , you don't need to run away , you still need to go to college , you'll still need them to pay your fees ,they are still your parents " Chelsea persuaded ,but I guess my mind was already made up .

I can't continue to live like this , it's tiring and annoying.

" I'll think about it " I sighed knowing well that I wouldn't .

I just said that to get her off my back.

" You better do now " Chelsea replied with an eye roll.

"Okay ,can we forget about my tiresome family and let's talk about school " I rolled my eyes.

" Just cause you said you'll think about it, I'm letting it slide" she frowned.

" I will girl!"

"Well, We would be graduating next week , so excited " she squealed .

"Oh good " I replied ,not as excited as she was.

I've been waiting for this day .

When I'll finally have atleast good freedom.

"Wait ,what about prom ? " I asked.

"It's this week , didn't Jess tell you " Chelsea said.

"No"

"So, who's your date to prom? " I teased , poking her side.

"My date ? " She repeated , her cheeks turning tomato red , as she tried to slap my hands off .

"Spill it girl " I grinned, tickling her more.

"Okay ,okay , stop " she replied laughing

" It's Andre " she added with a wide smile

"Oh my gosh ,Andre? " I called surprised.

Andrew was her big time crush , since I knew her.

"Yeah , so what about you? " she asked smiling

" I didn't even know prom was here already, besides I don't know if mom would let me go to prom " I sighed.

Why do they have to spoil everything in my life for me.

Cause of them I don't get the normal childhood, I'm never allowed to go to parties , attend any sleepovers , or even the school's yearly dance or anything at all.

My life just revolves around going to school , getting yelled at by them , do all the house chores even if Mia's there , get stressed , go to sleep and start over again.

Gosh , I think my life's the worst .

Heck! I don't think! I know!.

"Earth to Ella" she snapped her fingers in my face.

"Hmm, sorry I spaced out, what were you saying?"

"I said how sure are you " she asked .

"A hundred and one sure " I rolled my eyes.

"Well I hope she lets you attend this one"

" It's gonna be one of the best Prom our school has ever hosted , they said" she hummed happily.

" Hmm" I only nodded.

" I'm hungry , let me get something we can eat " Chelsea suddenly said and walked towards the kitchen.

I watched as she disappeared into the kitchen before picking up my phone . Almost immediately, a call came in ,from Mom.

I don't wanna pick up this call !

" Go on , pick up " I heard Chelsea voice behind me and I turned.

" Chelsea , what are you doing here? I thought you went to the kitchen?" I asked surprised ,she just walked into the kitchen about ten seconds ago , now she's at my back.

" I just came out , pick up the call , if you don't they would come here looking for you " she said and walked back to the kitchen.

I sighed and answered the call.

"Hello " I said reluctantly

" You get your ass off where you are now and come home!" mom yelled from the other end.

"Why? " I asked lowly .

"Because I said so " she snapped.

" You have just ten minutes to get here , a minute is gone" mom added and hung up.

"Well come get me up " I murmured ,dropping my phone on the table .

" What did she say " Chelsea asked as she dropped the tray she was holding on the table .

"To come home " I shrugged.

"What are you waiting for then? " she asked taking a huge bite of the sandwich.

" Really Chelsea? You want me to go back to that house?"

"Just go , call me when you get there " She insisted .

I sighed and took two pieces of the sandwich inside a nylon bag.

"Incase I don't get served tonight " I forced a smile.

" I made it for you " she returned my smile.

I nodded.

We walked out.

"Expecting your call soon " she said and bade me good bye .

I forced a smile and mounted my bicycle riding straight home .

I might probably not have a good night rest today just like every other day.
