Upon entering his daughter's room, Mr. Lacy found a note on the bed and
proceeded to read it. It stated the following:

Dear Dad,

I am sorry to have run away, but there is something I must tell you, and
I couldn't bare to do it in person. I've decided to run away with Billy
(my boyfriend I've been hiding from you and Mom), and we're going to get
married. He promises to support me with the food stamps and goverment
money he's been stashing away, but assures me there are always other
ways to get money in a pinch.

He also plans to help me with my alcohol problem, which I've done a
pretty good job of hiding over the past year. We plan on raising our
still unborn child in the best little beach shack we can find in Mexico
- I'm sure it won't be much, but I know we'll be happy together so
that's all that matters. I plan on getting there with the fake passport
Billy was so kind to make for me. We just hope that he won't get put
back into Rehab again for his drug abuse problems.

I really wish you could meet him Daddy. He's so sweet! On my next
birthday he's gonna take me down to this bar and get me a tattoo to
match his! And for his birthday I hope I'll be able to afford to get him
some dental work, so that maybe he can have all of his teeth when he
smiles even though I think the gap is kind of cute. Well, wish us luck!

Love you,

Your little girl

P.S. I actually just got an F on my report card, but it could be a lot
worse, right? I'm over at my friend Ashley's house. Come get me when you
calm down.
