I raced into Eddie's room looking for her. I was desperate for the one girl who had ever listened for me, the girl that never gave up on me, the girl that was my only friend in my chaos that I liked to call my life.

The only sign of her was a ripped straitjacket, that lay on the floor peculiarly, as if someone had cut a line through the middle of it.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAWLaui1CejM
ARGH!
663Please respect copyright.PENANAPDDenKBWvy
I ran out hastily, not even bothering to look around the room. If she was in there, she would have come out as soon as she saw me. Eddie was gone.
663Please respect copyright.PENANADFmwpLE5jL
Eddie was gone. The words stung my thoughts as I let the words roll around in my head. I had to get to one of the nurses, to tell them to lock me in a room that I could never get out of so that I wouldn't tear the world down looking for Eddie.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAjCm3s7vRQb
Then I remembered.
663Please respect copyright.PENANA1ydpQRoo6O
If I wanted to run, I should go now, while the guards couldn't catch me. I could walk out, and leave all of the craziness, all of the insanity behind. All I would have to do is gather the courage to go through the front door. Everyone else was pre-occupied with the attack.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAU0eSniGjjT
But, if Eddie was still here.....
663Please respect copyright.PENANApZ7raQy3pX
No. I had to run and save myself. Before this nut house killed me. I wasn't going to die as insane, I was going to die with Eddie, out there in the wild, craz- sane world. In the wild and sane world. I wasn't going to die today, that was for sure.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAYfOVxcq1N6
So that's exactly what I did: I ran far, far, away.

"Yes, could you please dye my hair purple?" I asked the hairdresser.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAIXaXudiU3N
What? I wasn't going to go out in the open looking exactly what I looked like inside the insane-party house. I was going to change my hair, get some makeup, and buy clothes.
663Please respect copyright.PENANA0IrwUxIm0e
Oh and color contacts, I can't forget those.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAQGJEvAJssE
"Sure, honey. Just sit here." The hairdresser's voice brushed over me like a flower floating through the wind.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAqLumt09qXa
The hairdresser took a long time to dye my hair. But it was worth it in the end. I sat, staring at her as she did my hair. I'm sure I creeped her out a little bit, but I wasn't going to just sleep or something.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAEhDIDNXKlj
My hair, now a deep vibrant purple, glowed and shook as I walked. I looked utterly un-recognizable.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAjE1tylpsHP
Perfect.

I sighed as I walked down the street in my new clothes. A new pair of jeans, a nice red top, my hair up in a ponytail.
663Please respect copyright.PENANA7mTjKjy3nk
Where did the money come from? Well, I've gotten very good at pickpocketing the nurses.
663Please respect copyright.PENANANhud5rDsPC
I rounded the corner and saw my parents big red house. It stood, in all of its glory, as if it had been waiting for me and it had been worried that I was never coming home.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAbSuyJSyGk0
Don't worry, house. You aren't the only one that thought that.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAvEViYdOxVX
I didn't have time to register anything when the large hand clamped around my mouth and a gruff voice in my ear spoke the words: "Don't fight." I stood, as he did this, wondering why no one on the street was seeing this.
663Please respect copyright.PENANA4G6PPgy8Ns
Honestly, was everyone away from town?
663Please respect copyright.PENANAxJKlYnK7pB
I was inches away from my house. When I was dragged back down that day.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAampNoZL3rx
He took off my prosthetic leg and threw me into a van. Yep, threw. I'm not even exaggerating, I was tossed into the van as if I was a piece of furniture that he was taking home to his family.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAhazwTubVcw
I didn't fight when when I felt rope being tied around my wrists.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAQKI3cjwNys
I didn't fight at all.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAj8bqshKsOA
What else was I going to do, run away?
663Please respect copyright.PENANAx44qnhhM6H
Cos, that could totally happen.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAepcKLzbAOy
He lifted my limp body up and carried me out of the car as soon as it stopped, and I just limply laid there.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAwU7HAAttZY
"Are you dead?" The man joked.
663Please respect copyright.PENANA6TZuMSxJh2
I still didn't fight.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAvy4b54jSvf
I didn't fight as he tied me to a chair or as he locked the shed door when he left.
663Please respect copyright.PENANA0ePUgH4QTT
But, for the first time, it wasn't because I realized that I didn't have a chance against him, this time it was because I was planning.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAXOZdf1xbK5
Planning an escape.
663Please respect copyright.PENANAhaLfakfpd2
And nothing was going to stop me.
