My mother told me "you have to have an abortion if you're young" and I just knew that wasn't something I wanted. The next morning, when I woke up, I decided to leave my mother a note telling her that I was leaving and running away. My driver thought I had gone to school, but as soon as she left I went straight back out and found the nearest pay phone and agreed. meet Michael at the nearest supermarket. Not knowing what to do, all we did was take the train without having a plan or money. I thought of my cousin Natalie who didn't immediately know where her school was, I kept asking the conductor and the man behind the counter where Cabrini Catholic High School was located in Manhattan and just showed up at her high school, she was surprised to see me, obviously she wasn't expecting me to let her know what was going on. The three of us continued traveling by train without anyone knowing where we were. Natalie decided to call her mother to tell her she would be home later. When night fell I started to miss my mother and I called her from the subway cabin I told her that I was fine, that I missed her and that I didn't want to have an abortion and that's why I left I didn't let her talk I simply hung up a little I knew who had tapped her phone with the help of my uncle who is a police officer who is also Natalie's dad. My brothers immediately went to the Bronx where they located the call trace but by then I was already gone and no one knew I was with Natalie, she promised me she wouldn't tell them we were with her. Leaving my heart so heavy for everything I had caused and what I was putting my mother through, I decided to go to my grandmother's house late at night because I knew she would understand. I was certainly right and in the end I was chosen by mine
