The Runaway Daughter

08-21-2009 Friday

Finally, Alex told me I can stay in the boarding house for awhile. Yipee. I am on leave for this day but I still acted like I'm gonna go to work.

My gramma went to a friend's house and she wouldn't be home till evening so I was left with my mother, who surprisingly prepared some food. I wasn't impressed, she only did that because my gramma wasn't home, that's it. After eating, I quietly packed some clothes in the small bag. I also armed myself with a toothbrush, shampoo sachets, deodorant, hairbrush, a tube of lipstick and a baby powder. I'm used to running away so packing quickly isn't a hard task. I took a bath, applied light make up on my face, told my mom, I might be home tomorrow night and before she could say anything else, I'm out the door, eager to runaway from everything that has do in dealing with her.

Alex have work today and he wouldn't be out till night so I stayed at SM, tired from it but being the fugitive that I am, I have to deal with all this now. I decided to wait for him, I'd rather go to the boarding house with him than go there on my own. I have my menstrual period today and it sucks so bad to walk around feeling like the cramp will just cut you in half. It's so hard being a girl, is the thing I usually thought to myself whenever I have my period and I know most girls feel the same way.

At around 7:30, Alex told me he's about to go home. I rode the jeepney to Q.Ave and asked him to wait for me, I'm on my way.

He was standing there, on the streetside, looking tired from a day's work but nonetheless, handsome in my eyes. We went to the boarding house and I was greeted with the familiar smiles from the people he live with. I smiled shyly. There's just too many people in that boarding house that it's pretty crowded, and this is the place where Alex has lived for a few years now, and since I decided to stay here, I have to live with it.

Hah, I'd rather deal with a dozen people I barely knew than deal with a mother I thought I knew.
