Well here I am. I'm on a plane on my way to London where I will spend the next 4 years of my life further studying singing, acting, and music because it's my dream to make it in entertainment industry and this is an opportunity that I can't pass up.  I really hope my family will understand and not come looking for me. But I honestly know them all to well so I have to change my name as well as my apperance so that they won't be able to find me.  Besides I think my perfect family is really better off without me....

Sitting on this plane I realize this is the last time I will be Lily Hemmings and have blonde hair because if I really want to commite to a new life I have to start fresh so nobody reconizes me or can find me. Especially my family because knowing my parent and my twin brother there going to come looking for me or hire someone to do it for them.  

Half way through the flight the flight attendent came and asked me how I was doing "How are you doing today" she asked.

"I'm doing fine thank you" 

"What's your name sweetheart?"

OH SHIT!!! my heart dropped. I realized I haven't really picked a new name to go by yet, oh shit what am I going to do.  

"My names Victoria" The only reason that name came to mind was because I remeber learning about Queen Victoria in school and that was my favorite unit in history to learn about. Yes I know I'm a nerd but hey that's what got me the oppurtunities for a better education and this chance of a life time. 

"nice to meet you Victoria. Do you want anything to drink?"

"A water would be great." with that she handed me a water and some pretzels

"thank you." I said and everything was fine until she brought up my parents. 

"You have such nice manners, your parents raised you the right way because you have no idea how many kids I meet that are rude so thank you for being so sweet and making my day."    

"Your welcome" I said with as much happiness in my voice as I could because me leaving my family is not easy and her bringing up my parents honestly felt like a slap in the face or a punch in the stomach to me. I stared out the window and tried not to cry but I felt the tears coming and I had to get up and use the restroom so no one would notice and ask what is wrong with me.

I guess I should get use to it. Pushing my feeling aside and fake being happy for a while until I really truly am happy. 

I locked the door and looked in the mirror as I saw tears fall from my eyes and I keep think is this the right thing to do. Leave my family and go off and try to make my dream come true?  Will my dream even come true or will this all just be for nothing? 

I wipped away the tears I had and looked in mirror on last time to the Lily Hemmings I was for 14 year  because lets face it I wouldn't be the same girl I was that left home. I went back to my seat and thought once I get off this plane, dye my hair, and let go of the thoughts I had with my family I will be fine. I will be okay....I hope
