Escaping

Alice didn’t know where she was going she just knew she was going somewhere. Her brother and father pleaded her not to go but she knew the only chance she would have at happiness would be out of this awful place where no one moved on and no one knew who they were. Shoving as much as she could into her small bag she was growing angrier and angrier at the two blobbing people standing before her, screaming at her. How could they do this? How could they act like this after all they had done to her? To THEM.

“Do you really think I would stay here with you two? Do you think after everything you’ve done I would even consider staying here? No. Leave me alone and let me sort my things.” She barked at them.


Two weeks ago. She thought. Two weeks ago, everything was wonderful, her and William were set to be married and she couldn’t be more excited. Although they had a rough start, they were made for eachother and she couldn’t be happier with the person she ended up with. Two weeks ago in two weeks it would be her wedding day. But how can she get married now without a groom? Without her beloved William.


“We are so very sorry my love we did not know he would react in such a way to cancel you’re wedding!” Her father longed for some kind of reassurance from her.

“WHAT” she screamed. “You told him I had Taken another lover! You told him that I no longer loved him! Which is NOT true. Not even slightly so!”

“I know my love I’m so very sorry I don’t know what came over me. I was so afraid of losing my little girl and when your brother came to me and asked how I felt about the wedding... well it all just spiralled from there and now here I am, losing you”. The sadness in his eyes was so genuine but her fury wouldn’t let them get to her.


“I’m going. I don’t know where. But I’m going” she demanded.


It was at this point she began to grow concerned about where she would actually go and how she would make money for herself to live. Something to worry about on the train, she thought. Nothing was stopping her now, she never even liked it there she only stayed because after her mother died her brother and father were so lost and so broken that she wouldn’t have the heart to hurt them. But since they hurt her, she didn’t care.


“Goodbye” she stared them in the eyes, letting them know she was serious and ran out the door and toward the train station.


Finally. She thought.
