Love is so devious. But, I don’t mess with love. Love cuts you down in your prime of life, makes you into a drug junkie or whatever. I don’t mess with that shit.

I am not as good off as I sound. As love is, my life is shit. I live in the suburbs. You know like high middle class; with like the 5 bedroom with bathrooms. Well I probably richer than I think but it suck because apparently my family doesn’t really have a penny we are in debt. We are in debt up to the moon. I can’t deal with not being able to do what I want or no money for what I need or want

That is why I am leaving tonight. I jumped out my window and on to the second floor roof. It wasn’t very high or I’m just not scared of being high. I jumped of f the roof into a tree and climbed down. I had a friend coming to pick me up. Well not really a friend just a guy that I promised I would pay, he needed the money. I couldn’t do it alone you know.

I was wearing all black pants and shirts. I also had a backpack and a duffle bag with me. I don’t know how I got   down from the tree. You might call me a fit guy but, I just sneak down from that tree a lot. I guess it strengthens me. This would be the last time I would climb down from this tree. I think I had my first kiss on it. I don’t know really know, my first kiss is faint. Just know this tree has the footprint of my history in it. If I could I would probably take it with me.

I reached up and took a leaf from the tree. It seemed kind of pathetic that my most prized possession. I put the leaf in my pocket. My get away driver was late, so I was sitting outside alone in the dark. I got to thinking of the little things I was leaving behind. Nothing special, but she thinks I am special. Her name is Young May she like loves me. Practically stalks me. I spend a lot of time with her, but we are just friend, in my mind. She thinks we are like lovers. She knows how I feel about that, love is a waste of time.

“Jia, What are you doing out here all alone I saw you sneak out from my window” Young came out of nowhere screaming with here quiet voice.

 “Jesus would you warn me before you sneak up on me” I said annoyed by her stalking

“I am sorry I didn’t mean to startle you. I just saw you from my window and you looked so lonely and….” I interrupted her mid sentence.

“Look I didn’t really want to tell you because I know how you are, but I am running away and I don’t want you try to stop me. I am going and you can’t stop me.” I said that not looking in her eyes. She had such beautiful eyes. That is the only reason I keep her around. I just look into her eyes when she ever she talks to me about something I don’t care about, and that is mostly all the time. I love her eyes though. I guess it is another prized possession.

“Ok then we will run away wait here and I can get a couple of things.” She was about to rush to her home.

“Hey Young you can’t run away with me you have a family”

“My family doesn’t care about me, yours does. Plus, what about School”

“Hello dummy I got my high school diploma yesterday. Who cares? I got to get out of here. I hate it here. It is so boring here. Just take me with you, it will be romantic.

“Ok ok don’t go there you know we are just friends. Just get your stuff.” Young smiled so wide and her eyes gleamed in the moon.

“Thanks Jia love ya.” She ran in too the darkness.
