The journey
I walk down the stairs of the group home I'm in and start to walk to my bus stop. But as soon as I'm out of eye sight I run towards the bus station I'm out of breath and heaving when the bus arrives "right on time" I say out loud when it pulls up I fish out a dollar and 25 cent for my bus ride and hand it to the driver "where to ma'am" the driver asks. I ponder for a moment boston to Storybrooke is about 2 hours, I pull out my map and show him where I want to go " I'm sorry but we don't drive on the outskirts of town but I can drop you off as close to your destination as I can" the driver says "thank you so much" I say with a relieved breath I would have to walk the rest of the way but it would all be worth it to leave this trash of a life behind. I go and sit in the very back of the bus so I wouldn't get noticed if someone I knew happen tobe on the bus I watch people get on and off the bus time seemed to slow down my eyelids were getting heavy with exhaustion and within seconds I succumb to the dream world.
2 hours later
"Ma'am","excuse me ma'am" I open my eyes and look around to see an empty bus I look up at the bus driver "I was able to get somewhere closer to where you wanted to go, if your walking it shouldn't be more than an hour and a half but since I've never heard of this town I don't know where you might end up if you wan-", " NO! I mean thats fine I need the exercise anyways thank you for driving me all this way" I say reaching in my pocket for more change. "No keep your money your gonna need it for your journey" the driver says with a smile " thank you" I say starting to walk off the bus the driver watches me as I walk inside the gas station, I watch him pull off and I turn around to see a lady behind the counter she looked in her mid twenties she was reading a magazine not paying any attention. I walk through the store grabing snacks and drinks with out her even seeing me I walk up to the counter trying not to look inconspicuous do you guys have a bathroom I ask she points her her finger at the door without even looking up from her page "thank you I say walking as calm as I could out the door. Once the door closed I made a run for it remembering the way the bus driver to me to take. Once the gas station was nothing more that a speck in the scenery I stopped to catch my breath I took out my phone to check the time wow it's only 11:09am I didn't think it would be this easy. Once I put my phone back in my bag I grabed my blue lemonade brisk and took one big swig and put it back in my bag. I look ahead and only see one straight road well here we go.
