If you were to runaway, who would you go to?
Are you going to go to your closest friends? Probably.
But... that would be the first place that your parents would look for, right?

It was a weird day yesterday.
Some friends from the past suddenly came into my life, and asked for my help. It was all so sudden, they just need a little help getting out. I wasn't even sure what was happening or why I did it, but I helped them. I just heard the urgency in their voice, and though we haven't been communicating for several years (and some discrepancies and disagreements last time that we saw each other), I trust that their decision is correct and I just did it, I helped them get out. I wasn't even sure if this was really serious, or this was just a game. But I played along with it, and followed their instructions. When we got out and it was "safe", that's when I had my explanation: child abuse. I would have ran away too in their situation.

As we waited for the phase 3 of their plan, waiting for one of their friends to pick them up, we talked for a while about what's happening with us. It has been a long while, and we tried to catch up. I suddenly felt very nostalgic, looking at all the experiences we had together (there were many ups AND downs). I just kept on thinking if we weren't really friends for some time, I don't think they would have come running to me.

Which is a pretty good idea actually. Because her parents knows that our families aren't communicating, and suddenly they asked helped from me! I think it would be a while before they even thought about asking us for anything...
