SCARLETT
I’ve been on the road for almost twelve hours, and with every mile I
drive, I feel lighter. Freer. But that doesn’t stop my stomach from churning
with nerves the closer I get to my destination.
I must be nuts, I think to myself for the thousandth time today.
I’ve never even been to Colorado before, but it’s about to become my
new home. I’m not sure why I chose the mountains for a fresh start, but I
guess after spending a lifetime in Oklahoma City, I’m craving something
different—some wild and secluded place up in the Rockies. But most
importantly, I need to live somewhere far away from my parents.
I tighten my grip on the steering wheel as I imagine them back in
Oklahoma. They’ll both be home from work by now, and they’ll have seen
the goodbye note I left for them. I didn’t bother trying to explain; the note
simply says that I’m leaving and never coming back. They’re probably
trying to call me, ready to yell until their voices are hoarse, but I changed
my phone number last week, ditched social media, and made a new email
account. I don’t want them to have any way to contact me.
It might sound pretty drastic, running away from home to live in a cabin
in the mountains, but I had to escape. My parents have been treating me like
crap for as long as I can remember. They never wanted kids; I was an
accident, and from the day I was born, my parents have seen me as nothing
but a burden. An inconvenience. They constantly put me down, criticizing
everything about me, from my curvy figure to my dream of becoming an
author.
Growing up, I was treated more like a servant than a daughter. They told
me I had to earn my place in their home, so I ended up doing everything for
them. It was pretty hard to juggle all the cooking, cleaning, laundry and
yard work on top of going to school, but I didn’t have a choice. I thought
things would get better when I finally managed to move out last year, but it
was almost like my parents missed having me around to bully.
They never
gave me a minute of peace, constantly calling and texting to tell me what a
terrible daughter I was to leave them. In reality, they just hated having to do
their own housework for a change. For months, they used any excuse to
barge into my apartment at all hours just to call me a slob and tell me the
place wasn’t clean enough, or otherwise demand I come home with them
and fix dinner.
Once upon a time, I was too scared to stand up to my parents. I
genuinely believed they’d kick me out if I didn’t do what I was told, and I
decided that anything was better than being homeless as a young girl. But
I’m not a child anymore, I’m a twenty-two-year-old woman now, and I’m
ready to escape the shadow my parents are casting over my life.
