" I can't believe we're really doing it.. i mean don't take me wrong it's exciting but-"Scary? I get it, really. I mean who wouldn't want that ? A fresh start, many people would kill for one.. But honestly i just can't wait!" says the 18yo brunette
"I just want mom to be sure.." replies the 16yo thoughtful
" Clarke, she's going to be fine! She's strong and honestly, I think it's time. It has been years.. She may not know it yet, but she is ready and leaving here, leaving this house, is for the best."
"I know i know... I'm just worried about her.."
"Me too.. She's gonna be fine I'm sure" says Raven trying to cheer her sister up
After a few minutes of silence they heard the door of their mother's bedroom open
"Girls you done packing? We need to get the last boxes before tonight » states Abby
"Coming!!" they both responded cheerfully
After getting their last boxes, the three of them sat down and ate dinner, sharing how their days went, then when they were done cleared the table and started to clean the dishes.
"Okay girls I'm gonna call Jackson to give him the details of our arrival tomorrow, be right back" warns Abby leaving the kitchen to go to the veranda
Both the girls nodded and waited while finishing the dishes,for Abby to finish her call.
After a few minutes Abby appeared in the room again
"Ok we should arrive tomorrow, around 5pm and Jackson will meet us at the airport"
Without really waiting for an answer she retired to her room without adding another word, while the two girls looked at each other worried about their mother sudden disappearance
They waited a little bit before Clarke alone went to see her. As she entered the bedroom, she realized it was bathed in darkness. She didn't look to turn on the light, just looked at her mother sitting on the bed looking over the room absentmindedly
"Mom... are you sure this is what you want?"
"I'm fine Clarke I promise I just need a second.." she answers looking up at her daughter
"Alright" says Clarke approaching and sitting right next to her
They sat there in silence for a few minutes
"Your father and I, we chose this house together. When we first saw it we just knew it was the one" Abby says with a sad chuckle
"You know we don't have to-"
"No I want to do this, I do. I need to.. Clarke it has been 7 years and frankly, I'm glad Jackson proposed the job to me, I think it's time to start over." Abby added, taking her daughter's hand in hers and squeezing it lightly
"And honestly who wouldn't want to move in Scotland I mean it's gorgeous and well... The handsome men with the scottish accent.... I do think we're making the right move to go there! " states Raven with a cheeky smile while entering the room
"Raven!!" laughs the two women
"Ohh Abs come on we do need some guys to look at and who knows maybe even-"
"Okayy I think I heard enough" nods Abby laughing, getting up
"Just saying...." adds the brunette
"Anyway we should go get some sleep we have a big day tomorrow" states Abby
