I can walk around naked here. Because it’s my place! My very own place! Woo hoo! I can cook food, vacuum, clean the bathtub, watch TV, play World of Warcraft, completely, and absoulutely, and undeniably, naked!

No more mom coming into my room while I’m watching porn, no more having to listen to my brother have sex with his girlfriend in the other room, no more having to calm down my dad when he gets into his alcoholic fits of rage. I’m free, and it feels totally awesome!

I’m gonna make this a pimp apartment. Lava lamp and stuff. Have girls over every night. Introduce them to my wine shelf. Let them peruse my books. And I’ll get ot have sex! Woo hoo! This is gonna be friggin’ sweet!

Ring, ring, ring. Private call. Who the heck?

“Hello?” I ask.

“Hey.” She says.

“Cookie?” I ask.

“Who else?” She says.

“Hey. What’s up?”

“I need to get out of here.”

“Huh?”

“I need to get out of here. He’s acting stupid again and I can’t take it anymore.”

“What happened?”

“Same old shit. I come home late, he throws a fit, I don’t want to talk about it, he threatens me and calls me names.”

“You better be careful. You know how that type of thing can end up.”

“I know. That’s why I haveto get out of here.”

“Well, what’re you gonna do?”

“I was thinking that you and me get a place together. A house.”

“You…and…me?”

“Yeah. Don’t worry, Just give me what you can. I’ll pay for the rest.”

“Uh…”

“I know you just got into your new place, but I really can’t stand it here anymore.”

“Well…”

“If you have to break your lease, break your lease. You’ll be okay as long as you just pay for your part of the rent. I already found a place. I just need you to say yes.”

“Are you sure you want to do this? What do you think he’s gonna do?”

“I don’t give a fuck what he does. He can’t stop me. He’s the one that fucked up, not me. We’re not married. What can he do?”

“Well, if this is what you want to do.”

“Yes this is what I want to do.”

“Okay.”

“Good. I’ll call you tomorrow.” Click.

Oh man…

Well, looks like I got to start packing again. Better put some clothes on.
