It was the middle of the night and all the lights in the house were off..except for one..a small table lamp in the upstairs corner bedroom...she quickly packed her bag and set it at the door in front of her....turning back to turn off the lamp she picked up her bag and quietly crept down the stairs..she had snuck out many a time..she knew where all the creaks were....she had lived in the old farmhouse her whole life...agains etting down her bag she pulled a small notepad and pen from the kitchen drawer...
Mom and Dad,
Please dont be angry with me when you find this..I had to go..you always taught me to follow my heart where ever it may take me....I learned about Ella Fitzgerald and Judy Garland from you...you helped me find my way...I know Im only 19 and still have a lot to learn but Im not going to learn it here..growing corn in Iowa....know that I love you both and will be thinking of you...Ill write to you soon...
love, Sitina
she took one last look around before stepping out the creaking screen door...crickets being her only company for the long walk down the gravel road..the faint lights of the bus appearing in the night fog...her hands grew cold and her heart sank as she took her seat...she didnt know what to expect but she had to try...to New York City it was...
