Here we go i want to tell you of another run away this one really affected me....I was 14 and in a teen house there were two girls there..me and a girl i will call April....she was 16 and i talked her into going with me we ran from the back yard of the house we were at and headed straight for a truck stop...we hooked up with a truckin team...2 guys in one truck...we got in and headed toward utah...they broke out a bag of crank and a bag of coke..and of course we used with them ..we were up all night long and when we pulled in to a small town in utah we got out of the truck and went into the store...she started grabbing her chest and couldn't breathe very well...she went to a pay phone and called her mom ...i remember she was crouching on the bottom of the payphone grabbing her chest...her mom hung up and called EMS and a ambulance showed up..along with a guy from utah social services...he asked me my name and i told him just my first name and i will damned if he didn't say my last name to me...apparently there was an APB out on us....what i didn't know was that April had a congenital heart problem and the drugs had messed up her heart...they rushed her to the hospital in salt lake....the sherriff tried to take me to a youth facility and i fought physically and screamed and kicked and ended up fighting off 4 cops in the parking lot of the hospital ..They called in a lady from the youth center and she talked to me for a min and told the police that she would not accept me in the facility because i was "under the influence" so needless to say i stayed with my friend and her parents came and got us in the morning ..they released her in the morning and we all came back to idaho....so that was one of the most horrifying incidents of my running away....just so you know April died at the age of 19 due to her heart problems ... i will continue more of this later today...

Writing about stuff like this, I think helps one learn from their own experiences and will help other people that are maybe going through the same thing or a situation similar. Love ya!!!! ((hugz))
