Opening the front passenger door of the powder blue SUV, I put the small bag with my phone, head phones and CD player with CD disc holder and other things to cure some of the boredom of road trips on the floor in front of the chair, I get passenger seat due to I am first to be navigator. Kyle and Maria will be in the seat so Kyle can comfort Maria because she will probably cry and be hysterical at least that’s what I think. Michael decided he was going to drive first and since I wasn’t leaving anyone that I could sit up front and navigate.
Everyone’s possessions what little we have, have been put in the backs of the SUVs. We have about half an hour till we set off; I’m the only one outside. I don’t have any Goodbyes to say the only people I sort of know, half are coming with me and the other half really don’t like, granted the people I’m going be sharing a ride with don’t really like me either. Opening a map I stare at it with unseeing eyes, lost too deep in my thoughts. What else should I expect from these people, they have every right to hate me I came to Roswell and tried to break them all up, mind warping them and lying to them, I wouldn’t want to know me either.
With a sigh I close the map back up, man this road trip is going to be fun I think with sarcasm. Walking around both SUVs I change the License plates to that of Florida and Wisconsin, one SUV is blue and the other is red, the most common colors I could think of. I managed to get the SUVs from a contact of Nascedo, one that he used when he would move us all around America and the rest of the world. Thankfully I have their numbers.
Each SUV has a thousand dollars in it along with all the papers that everyone will need, Max and Michael changed everyone’s ID and Licenses. Max and I have access to a bank account that was set up for us by Nascedo in case this situation ever arose and when we all get far enough away from Roswell, Max and I can get money out for people to get some clothes and other necessities. Shutting the car door I begin to walk back into the mine.

In less than half an hour I will be in a car bound for New York, Leaving my family and my home, the home I have ever known. I’m scared, no scratch that I’m terrified, petrified and any other synonyms you can think of, I am. Grabbing bottles of water the Sheriff brought us, I sort of feel guilty he’s going to come back tomorrow and we’ll be gone with only a note in explanation and we’re taking his son with us.
Max said it’s better if he stays here, he can’t get in trouble for taking minors over state lines, not that he will know that seeing as we’re not going to tell him where we are going just that we have gone and to please tell our parents we love them and that it wasn’t their fault. I do agree with Max but I still feel guilty that we’re taking Kyle away from his father.
After throwing the bottles in my backpack, I look up trying to spot Liz and Maria my two best friends in the world, I don’t want to leave Maria but there’s no other way. I feel the tears start to prickle in my eyes, I don’t want to leave my Ria, what if something happens to them, we won’t know. I mean sure we have cell phones, well one of us in each car does but they’re new numbers, ones our parents don’t know.
Walking towards everyone, away from the makeshift sleeping area, I call out to Ria. I want to say my goodbyes and tell Michael to look after her for me.
