As soon as I turned the corner into my street I noticed that something was wrong. The front door of my house was wide open.

“Am I about to catch a burglar in the act?”

My heart started beating ten to the dozen, I crept up the pathway to the front door, if there was an intruder inside I didn’t want to alert them to my presence. But when I went inside I was shocked to see there were at least a dozen people in my living room.

Slowly, one by one, they all turned and eerily began to stare at me.

“You never let me do what I want to do! Why do you always try to control me?”

“Jillian, we only want the best for you!

“The best thing for me would be for you to leave me alone! I can’t take it anymore! I’m leaving!”

I ran up to my room and started packing my things together, I loved my parents but our relationship had always been quite tough. For some reason it was as if they didn’t want me to grow up. They were so controlling, they told me who to be friends with and even what I should do for a job.
