Running away
"Why are you laughing, this is serious?" Mary said feeling angry. "You can't even survive a day in the outside world." Katherine said bursting into even more laughter. Mary took her shoe off and Katherine stopped laughing. "Are you sure?" Mary nodded. "I value my life. So I have to refuse." Mary gave her puppy eyes. "Please?" She said.
The truth behind Mary and Katherine's amazing friendship was when Katherine was 9 both her parents passed away due to a car accident at that time Mary was 7 years old since then Mary and Katherine were best friends. Sarah Katherine's older sister became her guardian who was 18 at the time. Since Sarah was young and was in college and did not have any money to pay their living expenses. Mary decided to help out by buying them gifts and paying for their living expenses using her fathers money. Although Mary never made Katherine feel like she owed anything to her. Katherine still felt that she owes a lot to her. Their friendship reached an impossible amount of love after that.
"Ok fine. I will help." Mary jumped up and down in excitement after hearing her friend's reply. "Calm down. So I think you are should run away to City A since its the capital plus your dad won't expect you to go out of city. You can take the next flight to City A tonight at midnight there my friend Max lives you can live with him for a while. I will call him and tell him you are coming tomorrow. I won't be able to go there with you but I will come to visit you every month. Oh and please don't take or use your dads credit card or your own phone. You can be tracked by using those. You can have my cell phone." Katherine thoroughly explained every word to her friend. "Is that all of it my friend? Can you lend me some money for a cab to take me to the airport since I have no cash and I can't use my dads credit card." said the obviously confused Mary.
Katherine took out her wallet and gave Mary 100 dollars. "That's all I have at the moment you can buy a cab to the airport and a cab from the airport to max's home hopefully. I am going home now remember your flight is in 2 hours. You should start packing and going to the airport now." Katherine said before jumping out of the window as Mary started packing.
1 hour later
Mary had done packing and she jumped out of the bedroom window and sneaked her way outside the garden gate. She got on a cab and said "Hello, Can you take me to the airport?" The driver looked at her and smirked to himself. "Of course madam.
Half a hour later
"We have reached the airport ma'am." He said to the absent minded Mary. "Oh thanks how much will it be ?" He looked at her and paused for a second before saying "It will be 119 dollars." He looked very scary looking with his long beard, a scary looking smile and crooked teeth. "Isn't that too much? I only have 100 dollars." She said handing him all the money since she didn't want to argue. She had never been in a taxi so she had no idea she was being scammed. "Well i am not in the mood to argue so that will be enough I guess you can leave now." Mary walked out the taxi with her suitcase and boarded her plane.
After two and a half hour the flight to city A, finally ended and Mary got out of the plane. After getting out of the airport Mary came to a realization that she had no more money left to buy a cab to Max's place. "Ahh, Fuck it. Seems like I have only one option left." She said to herself as she went on to the middle of the road.
