Running Away from Home

I couldn't take them anymore. I just couldn't do it. My mom got remarried to this guy. I don't like him at all and they were not giving me enough attention, so I took matters into my own hands. I took a train from Meridian to Maycomb. There was still a good distance from there to Jem and Scout's house. So I walked and jumped into the back of a pick-up-truck. I think I went about 12 or so miles. I finally made it to the Finch's house and then I snuck in and hid under Scout's bed. I am so happy to be out of Merdian and back in my home.
