Part 2 Billy Leaves Home
Billy found it hard getting along at home or even at school, at school he didn’t hang out with anyone, he didn’t have any friends. He got into a fight with McDowel, one of his brothers friends. Were as at home he doesn’t get along with his brother and doesn’t have a good relationship with his mother, she was always going out and had no concern for him, Jud was mean and a bully and always picked on Billy. Billy had no one to look up to for some support. After Jud killed Billy’s bird, he couldn’t handle any more in his life.
One afternoon when Billy finished school he went into the formers land for a walk feeling down and unhappy and thought to him self. Later that afternoon he went home, his mom was ironing her clothes for going out that night and Jud was sleeping after coming home early from work as he went out the night before.
While Billy was waiting for his mom to go out he read his book. His mother left leaving a few pennies on the side for Billy to get something to eat. Billy decided to leave home, he stood up very quietly and went into his room were his brother was sleeping he walked carefully across the room trying not to wake his brother to reach for his bag and pack his clothes, squeezing past the cupboard and bed and dodging his brothers shoes and clothes. He made it out without Jud waking up, he looked round the house for anything he could take and went into his moms bedroom to see if he could find any loose change to take but there wasn’t much, he picked his kestrel book up put it in his bag, seconds later he heard a movement coming from his room Jud was waking up, Billy quietly and swiftly ran out the house picking the pennies his mother left for him, leaving all the doors open. Jud woke up and called Billy but no reply came back. Billy went for sure and didn’t come back for awhile.
