My Stepfather Said I Had 5 Minutes To Leave After Turning 18. He Didn’t Know I Planned My Exit Weeks Ago

Message To Jenna

Stepping back quietly, I reached for my phone. I quickly shot a text to Jenna: ‘It’s happening. They’re snakes.

‘ After hitting send, I immediately deleted it, just in case they snooped through my stuff later. Better safe than sorry.

Jenna was my rock in all this, the only person who knew the full picture. And knowing she had my back made every move I made feel a lot less lonely.
