Knowing how closely children her current age were watched at parties like this, Leah immediately decided she had to head home. Once she was first spotted by an adult, she would never be allowed to sneak away. She had to be proactive.
With some difficulty, Leah opened the bathroom door and exited. If she wanted to get away without being seen, she had to take the other set of stairs, at the end of the hall. The only problem was that Gina’s teenage son Ryan was playing video games in his room, and Leah would have to go right past it. She wasn’t confident in her ability to sneak past without being noticed, given how loud her diaper was crinkling. But she also wasn’t confident in her potty training, so she didn’t want to take it off.
Ryan exited his bedroom. Leah hurriedly hid behind a large potted plant. She watched Ryan walk into the bathroom. Now was her chance! Running as fast as her little legs could take her, Leah sprinted down the hall. She took a deep breath when she saw how much bigger the stairs seemed now. But she was on a mission. So she carefully went down the stairs.
Halfway down the stairs, she felt an urgent need to go. She couldn’t abandon her mission now, though, so she decided to hold it. Leah reached the ground floor. Like she had planned, she was by the side door that no one ever used. She reached up for the doorknob. It was just barely out of reach.
Luckily, there was a doggy door. Leah got onto her hands and knees and crawled through it. Just as she got outside and stood, her tenuous control over her bladder broke, and she started to pee. Panicking, she managed to stop peeing before her swim diaper could be flooded.
More determined than ever to get to her house right away, Leah began the walk back home.
