Prologue

HENRIETTA'S POV

I stared out the plane window, my sight blurred by tears. This is really it. I'm leaving.

I quickly ran the back of my hand beneath my eyes to wipe away the sadness threatining to roll down my cheeks. Everything happened so suddenly, my father's betrayal, my mother's outrage and this abrupt move- it all just occurred so quickly. I'm moving all the way from Washington to Sydney, Australia. My whole life, everything I have ever known, is crumbling beneath my feet and disintegrating into nothing, and I literally can't do anything about it.

My mom placed her carry-on bag in the overhead compartment, obviously struggling with the weight of the bag on her slender arms. When she was done, she sat beside me and observed me closely, but I avoided eye contact. I didn't want her to see me crying. I know she'll feel guilty, and that's the last thing I want. She has every right to want to move, to escape all her problems and start over in a foreign land, but I can't help feeling upset about leaving my life. My home.

"Sweetie? Are you okay?" she asked me in a shaky voice with wide, glossy eyes. The sight made me want to cry even harder. I don't want my mom to be unhappy anymore. I want her to feel happy again. I merely nodded to keep her from hearing my most likely hoarse, wavery voice. Minutes of silence passed between us before I leaned my head back and closed my eyes.

I began to think of my family. They were my only friends. We have always been so close, and literally every good memory I had was made with them. They were always there for me and now I'm leaving them behind. Ironically, the person who caused this move is actually a member of my family; my father.

Oh, the cruel irony of life, thou art a bitch.

The thing is, in school, I never had any friends for one major reason. I'm the biggest dork ever known to the planet. I'm an awkward, weird pokemon/Naruto obsessed freak with an odd sense of style- and I'm just so different from everyone. The only people who could accept me the way I was were my family, but now I'm leaving them.

All they'll be are joyous memories imprinted on the wall of my past.

Everything will be so different when I get to Australia. I'll have no routine, nothing even remotely familiar to me, and I'll have to build my life from scratch all over again, if I even had one in the first place.

As the pilot announced take off, I prepared myself for the inevitable.
