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.

ARGH!
427Please respect copyright.PENANA28mLeiT5qm
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.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAOyJDn6BKPB
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.

Then I remembered.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAkHf0RkEwd8
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.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2XqiUc8df
But, if Eddie was still here.....
427Please respect copyright.PENANAaJFW6T94Z6
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.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ8ZxwIVjm
So that's exactly what I did: I ran far, far, away.

"Yes, could you please dye my hair purple?" I asked the hairdresser.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAsO52BBhjNu
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.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAlzO5vZqZJ5
Oh and color contacts, I can't forget those.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAC36AlnsZ9g
"Sure, honey. Just sit here." The hairdresser's voice brushed over me like a flower floating through the wind.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAGqmGnE0eNV
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.

My hair, now a deep vibrant purple, glowed and shook as I walked. I looked utterly un-recognizable.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAWc2qn20I51
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.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAVpbRjazteo
Where did the money come from? Well, I've gotten very good at pickpocketing the nurses.

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.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAhmpU9HMfS2
Don't worry, house. You aren't the only one that thought that.
427Please respect copyright.PENANACXEFkJHRws
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.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAAHxozyt2eO
Honestly, was everyone away from town?
427Please respect copyright.PENANAMtf0cNb4ZG
I was inches away from my house. When I was dragged back down that day.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAMEW1Q9kJYc
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.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAWSjNju3pJA
I didn't fight when when I felt rope being tied around my wrists.
427Please respect copyright.PENANADxRAB1MsAR
I didn't fight at all.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAvxUTdEX1vH
What else was I going to do, run away?
427Please respect copyright.PENANAl4k9a2wrPn
Cos, that could totally happen.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAcMeB1EvDlH
He lifted my limp body up and carried me out of the car as soon as it stopped, and I just limply laid there.
427Please respect copyright.PENANA7NpfHZdpLh
"Are you dead?" The man joked.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAActod7fTbl
I still didn't fight.
427Please respect copyright.PENANALMSpcMvFNU
I didn't fight as he tied me to a chair or as he locked the shed door when he left.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAm8Tcdv8H9m
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.
427Please respect copyright.PENANAAZSzkbYPF9
Planning an escape.
427Please respect copyright.PENANA30j4ILUQ9K
And nothing was going to stop me.
