It was on this night, fairly cool and clear, that she managed to rid herself of the household that bound her into the monotonous norms of society. She had grown tired of keeping up appearances and striving for excellence in everything in which she was involved. It was time for some liberation; a chance to see the world as she wanted. Tonight was as good a time as any.
Of course, the ever present question in her mind was what now? She was out on her own, but where would she go? What would she do to celebrate this new found freedom? She wasn’t that familiar with the inner city after nightfall; everything was rather frightening in all honesty.
Still, the petite sixteen-year-old was pleased with herself. Really it had not been an amazing feat to escape. Sure, she was monitored, but her family held trust in her actions. Her parents surely had not suspected she’d actually run away. They were sorely mistaken; they would be very displeased and worried come morning. Selfish as it may have been, she didn’t really care if they worried. She didn’t care about anyone but herself right now. This was about her. She deserved time for herself, right? She assured herself of this over and over as she walked. Her conscience was obviously tugging at her mind.
She was having second thoughts.
No, there was no turning back now. She could easily slink back into her home, crawl into her bed, and fall into a peaceful slumber as if none of this happened. It would probably have been of her better judgment. She ignored her inner turmoil between right and wrong. It didn’t matter anymore.
The young lady was dressed casually: jeans, a fitted-tee, some simple flats, and a light-weight jacket. She clutched the crimson fabric of her coat tightly. Whether or not it was a protective gesture or to keep the night’s chill off, she wasn’t entirely sure. Perhaps it was a mix of both of those sensations.
Occasionally the fair brunette glanced over her shoulder and surveyed the area. No one was following her. No one was really even around. Her fear was unwarranted for the moment. Still, she didn’t particularly want to be wandering aimlessly for the whole night. A place to stay, food, money—none of that crossed her mind when she actually fled. She didn’t have any belongings with her, save for the clothes on her back and a small purse slung over one shoulder.
Pretty soon, her green eyes fell upon an array of lights and vibrations. Seemed that someone was holding a party at a local club. Or so she figured. She didn’t know much about parties, or clubs, or the people who attended such events.
The only parties she was ever invited to were chock-full of elderly politicians greeting her father and making business plans.
This particular party looked a bit shady, but that was of no consequence, really. They let her in no questions asked, so she couldn’t really complain. This was such an entirely new experience. All of the people buzzing about—most of them completely drunk—and the lights and music were quite exhilarating. Still, she was feeling a bit uncomfortable.
She observed the goings-on from a corner in the room, watching intently as people danced, drank, and . . . well, let’s just say people were becoming very interested in one another. It was all almost too much. The blaring noises were giving her a headache; she probably wouldn’t stay much longer. Was all of this really overrated? It was be so utterly disappointing.
