The first day of her new job William was mad at her for being late for dinner. She yelled I'm only doing what you told me just sooner, you have never loved me like the other children. I don't know what my birth mother did or didn't do to or for you to hate me so much. I'm tired of being your punching bag He told her instead of moving out after she finished high school to move out by Friday He even informed that her punishment for being late for dinner is no dinner at all that evenning. She went upstairs and found her brother's gym bags. She folded up some of her clothes.
She called her aunt Brooke. When the family left to attend a play that Gloria wanted to see the housekeeper brought her a sandwich, chips, and cold tea in a disposable cup cup. She thanked her for it and promised not to say anything to any one. She wouldn't any way They had turned their backs on her. The next day when the bus stopped at her uncle and aunt's farm to pick up the three children that lived across from them her aunt Brooke was waiting for her. She gave the two gym bags to Brooke. That afternoon they met again and Clarity recieved her bags back.
