To Addie From Hope - Hope Was Here

Dear Addie,

Thank you for taking care of me. You have been there for me through thick and thin. I've enjoyed eating and serving your delicious food. We have moved around a lot and you have always made sure that I was a waitress at all the diners you cooked for. I'm 16 now and I've decided to run away. You have given me love, and cared for me but I need to get out of Mulhoney. I'm going to Sengetal. I plan to travel a lot and wont be staying in the same place. I have saved up money for awhile now. I've decided to leave and finish the rest of this year at a different high school. I'm happy that you and G.T Stoop are getting married but I will have to miss the wedding. I've packed up already and by the time you read this ill be on my way to a secret destination. Don't come searching for me because you wont find me. Ill miss Braverman, G.T Scoop and everyone at the diner. But, I will miss you especially. I love you. You have been the best "Mom" anyone could ask for. Don't miss me ill come to visit.


P.S Look under the left side of the bed, there is something for you.


Love, Hope.
