The Great Escape
It never once entered her mind of doing this for real.
Once it just came out as an idea. The second as a joke to those close enough to freely mention it. The third, a wish in her coming-of-age birthday. The fourth, an addictive urge in the sense of never wanting to leave her mind, indulging her need for someone to understand.
And the last and the most unbelievable choice for her and to everyone who should've known her, is for Haniel Riego to finally do the greatest escape of her life.
Who ever heard of an introvert girl leaving her home without a word anyway?
Haniel never leaves the house with no reason to go. Not even once. Not even a lie.
But when she finally reaches the age of nineteen, it's to find everything is falling down out of control. Her mind is dark place to linger on, her family is broken, her friends only appearing in their time of need and she failed to get on with the pressure of College : it's clear from the situation of her that it was all because of her choices from the past.
It was mistakes, yes, which doesn't seem like all that much when you think about the other billion's lives in the world: if you had it hard, it will be harder for others but when you look at it in a deeper understanding, it's better to don't compare your problems to other people's just to erase yours because it'll only make you feel worse.
But not to Haniel, who lets out a deep breath as she stans in her room, examining the remnants of her childhood before she soon breaks away her own rope tied to this place.
Across the other side of the house, her mother is watching a soap opera and her brother is out on his friend's house, a common occurence. In the garage, the beat up car is waiting while the other people in the house are oblivious to her plan for the night.
Haniel closes her eyes, just for a moment, and when she opens them again, her face worse a determination dead set on this escape.
Who would have guessed that whole silent goodbye to her home could change everything in her life?
