Rory sat alone in her bedroom, staring at the wall. It had been six months since her mother died, but the pain was still fresh. Her mother was her best friend, her confidante, her everything. When she died, it felt like a part of Rory had died too.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63z96NuIYN

Rory's father had been distant before her mother's death, but after it, he became even more withdrawn. He spent most of his time at work, leaving Rory alone in the house for hours on end. Rory tried to reach out to him, but he always seemed to brush her off.

Their relationship grew more and more strained as the weeks turned into months. They fought constantly, about everything from dinner to curfew to the way Rory dressed. Rory knew her father was hurting too, but sometimes it felt like he didn't even care about her anymore.

One day, after a particularly bad argument, Rory decided she had had enough. She couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't live in this house with this man who didn't seem to care about her.

Rory packed a bag with a few clothes, some money, and her phone, and snuck out of the house late at night. As she walked down the street, Rory felt a sense of fear and excitement wash over her. She didn't know what the future held, but she knew that she couldn't go back. She had to keep moving forward.

As she walked, Rory thought about all the things that had led her to this moment. She thought about her mother's death, and how it had changed everything. She thought about her father, and how he had become a stranger to her. She thought about all the arguments they had had, and how they seemed to be getting worse and worse.

Rory's thoughts were interrupted by a car honking behind her. She turned around to see her father's car pulling up beside her. Panic set in as Rory realized that he must have found out she had left.

"Get in the car," her father said, his voice cold and angry.

Rory hesitated for a moment, but then she knew what she had to do. She turned and ran in the opposite direction, her heart pounding in her chest.

As she ran, Rory felt a sense of freedom she had never felt before. This was it, She was finally in control of her own life. She didn't have to live by her father's rules anymore.
