Hope Simons:

I am just laying in my bed. It's friday morning. What am I doing laying in my bed???

Well am waiting for my alarm to go off.

Yep I woke up before my alarm went off.
It happens sometimes when I am excited or scared, my body just wakes up before the alarm, although I am not at all ready to get up.

Am scared but excited at the same time, am leaving for a new place today, New York to be exact.

I am starting a job there and it's my first job so am hella nervous.

Atleast I don't have to start from today. But I will leave today.

"Hope wake up, mma papa are waiting down there get ur ass up"my younger brother Aiden yelled.

God why him why I had to hear his voice first thing in the morning.

I got up and freshened up. I walked downstairs to have my breakfast.

"Good morning everyone"I said hugging my father.

Then I took my seat and started eating.

But I felt eyes on me, I looked towards my father he was staring at me.. he started "look baby.."

Oh god I knew what was coming next.

I made my best puppy eyes. But my father just averted his gaze and said "this isn't gonna work today. Hope baby please do you really have to go there u can easily get a job here"

I sighed I took his hands in mine
and said " papa please I want to go there. I have to live independently one day papa. It will be same as today. So there is nothing u will say that can change my mind".

He just smiled sadly and said "ok have your breakfast. You have packed right. when is your flight??"

"1 pm" I said pouting.

"Ok baby now eat up I'll check everything else" papa said.

I looked at mama she gave me a thumps up and we high fived😁.

It's almost the time to go. I live in Boston so it's not that far away only an hour flight to New York.

I am Looking at my room and I think I am not ready to leave my roon but it was my decision so I have to.

I took my bags most of the luggage is already downstairs.

Once I reach downstairs there my mma and papa are looking at me with glossy eyes. And my brother just rolled his eyes looking at them.

I burst out laughing

"C'mon mums you too. Take care of your husband here. I am not going that far away. I'll visit whenever I'll have time."I said

"But I don't want you to go" my father said.

"Papa please be happy.. you know if I see u like this. When m going away. I won't be happy either. Pleaseeeee...."

This brought a smile on my father's face
"Okay baby let's go or else you will miss the flight" he said.

I jumped and hugged him.

"Let's go" I said.

And we left for the airport.

Eric:

I was sitting in my office tapping my foot on the floor. I want to go and see her but it will be creepy.

Well it's not like keeping tabs on her isn't creepy but i just felt like following her around by myself will be too much. And I have men following her so I don't need to worry.
