I'm Running!
==Since my fourth birthday my parents have been fighting. I am now 6 and I am so tired of it. When ever my dad gets home from work it starts. He tracks mud in the house and my mom has to make a big deal out of it. I can barley== ==hear the TV. Finally they leave the room or my dad leaves for the night. I am sick of it. When I ask my mom where he went I get scolded. It makes the dinner table so weird. It doesn't seem like home any more. I usually go to my best friend Jacks house after I eat and tell him what happened this time. Once my mom even called the police on my dad. Nothing happened, but I thought my dad was going to jail. Usually when i wake up my dad is back home sleeping on the couch.==

==I wake up and I remembered it was Saturday. When I went down stairs my dad was gone. I wasn't allowed to wake up my mom on Saturdays so I just waited for him on the couch. After about an hour the phone rang.==

== I then thought of something. If my dad didn't live here why should I. After that thought I went down stairs and ate a huge breakfast. Then without talking or looking at my mom I went into my room. I grabbed a blanket some clothes and a cloth and a muffin. I wrapped it all up in the blanket and used my hockey stick. I saw this on TV once they called it a hobo bag. I grabbed my jacket and ran out the door. I ran back in and grabbed my piggy bank so i could afford dinner. My mom was so tired i don't even think i was gone. A car pulled up. ==

== " I think I could do that." He said "Get in" After about fifteen minuets he dropped me off in a strange city. I thought i knew this town. It looked a lot different in this city than where aunt Mary lived. I was going to stay with her, but now i don't know where i am. ==

"I don't like it there and I Don't like you. You put my dad in jail. And now I am not going back home till he is back."

=="Yes I promise." We went back to my house in his car. My mom started crying when she saw me. My dad came back that night. I was so happy. My parents stopped fighting and made up. I never ran away again.==
