-----------------

I couldn't sleep in the hours leading up to my freedom. I was torn to shreds, I loved my dad and my mum. I knew that deep down she wasn't all that bad but dad was still right. I did need to get out of here and the only place where I felt I had a connection was London, where Dan and Phil were. I used to do a lot of online shopping and basically owned all their merch which I kept hidden from my mother. It was all packed neatly away in my suitcase. I stared out the window at the stars which were peacefully shining. I heard a small tap on my door. "It's time." He whispered. I nodded and slung my back pack over my shoulders as he picked up the massive suitcase. He struggled but managed to quietly carry it down the stairs. I stopped in the kitchen and stared at the dark surroundings. "C'mon, before she wakes up."

"Yeah, just give me a minute." He nodded and took the suitcase out to the car. I pulled out a hand-written note for my mother and left it on the table. It read:

Mum,

I'm sorry that I was a failure

I'm sorry for all the "trouble" I have caused

But

...

This is because of you.

I want to lead my own life and make my own choices,

To be free from you

I hope one day we can put our differences behind us and get along

Maybe you'll be a grandmother,

But I'm going to prove to you that I am a human being and not just a "pig"

That I am something more

I'll show you, I'll get friends, maybe even a boyfriend

But I just want to let you know

That I'm going to be happy now and that I do love you

And that I know somewhere deep down

That you are a nice person and will understand this

Love, (Y/N)

I rush out to the car and get in the passenger's seat. We quickly pull out of the drive way and speed down the road. I look behind me and see that a light had turned on in our house. Then she ran onto the street, holding up the note and shouting something that was probably rather not heard. The whole way to the airport we just sat in silence, occasionally glancing at each other. We reached the drop-off zone and he laid the suitcase down next to me. "Well (Y/N). This is where our story ends." He shoots me a sad smile. I pull him into a tight hug.

"I'll see you again, I promise." He kissed my forehead with tears in his eyes. "I love you." I whisper.

"I love you too poppet." He brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. A car honked behind us and angrily told us to hurry up. "Goodbye." He gets in the car and drives off, not looking back. I stand there frozen then collapse down to my knees and break into tears, hands covering my eyes from the stinging cold air. I look up and see people walking past giving my sympathetic looks. I stand up and wipe the tears from my face. This was my story now, not hers. I gripped onto the luggage and wheeled it into check-in.

I waited at the terminal, staring down at my fidgeting hands. I felt a hand on my shoulder which caused my to flinch. "Are you alright dear?" A small old lady with wild white hair asked.

"Hmm, y-yeah." She pat my shoulder twice then continued to knit.

"QF2364 is ready for boarding, please have you pass ready and line up at gate twenty-eight." (A/N) If you're Australian you'll know what QF stands for)) A muffled voice rings out. I stand up and walk to the gate where the air hostess scans my ticket and smiles. I walk down the corridor which echoes, I feel tears wanting to seep out as I take my last steps in my hometown. I take a seat down in economy and put my headphones in, turning the music on softly, hoping that I'll get some sleep. My Chemical Romance played first, then Fall Out Boy, then The Internet is Here. All I remember is some turbulence but Phil's voice singing sweetly whenever I'm alone, or if I'm feeling grey, there's once place that I go, to brighten up my day... I fall asleep smiling.

I get shaken lightly awake. "D-Dad?" I wearily say. I look to the man next to me who retracted his hand and gave me a confused look. "Oh, s-sorry." I smile awkwardly.

"It's ok, it's just that we are going to be landing soon."

"Thank you very much." I think back to the night before, it all felt like a dream. Being told to leave my home for my own good. Saying goodbye to my father forever. I rubbed my temple as a headache set in. We landed and I asked a taxi driver to take me to a cheap hotel. If I wanted the apartment I was going to get I needed all the money I could find. I looked outside the window of the dodgy hotel. "London." I whispered. I tried to call my dad but the phone instantly hung up. My heart ached, he was refusing my calls. I decided to distract myself and find out where the opening was going to be. Fortunately, it was only a few streets away, within walking distance.
