I Need To Escape

By: Destiny Banks

Hey my name is Lisa and I’m 15. I’m getting married today but I don’t want to get married right now. I'm just not ready yet. I want to finish high school and go to college and try to become a nurse or a doctor. I can't do that if I’m married, at least not at this time. I see how unhappy my mom is. She didn’t get to fulfill her dreams. I’m not ready to have kids yet should I just run away to Florida and change my identity? What am I saying? I can't be my sister Athena. She ran away to California and changed her name to Kaliyah. She's living a great life. Maybe if I run away tonight I can be just as happy as her and go to her wedding alright. That's it I’m going to do it I’m going to run away to Florida and change my Identity and be happy or maybe happier. I can’t wait for tonight it’s only 3 PM. I need to make a plan and pack.
