Where She's going

Chapter 1

Hi everyone. My last story failed so I thought I'd try again. Instead of doing 8 facts about me. I'll do 8 facts about my book.

1. It's an If I Stay fan fiction

2. The idea for it came during a creative writing workshop and I immediately fell in love with the idea.

3. It's a prequel to where she went (but it changes where she went) and a sequel to If I Stay

4. I will publish at least once a week.

5. If I still enjoy writing the book then I might pretend where she went never happened and I'll write through the book.

6. ALL CHARACTERS ARE GAYLE FOREMANS NOT MINE

7. Each chapter will be dedicated to a person.

8. Julliard is in England in the fanfic

I walked down the stairs and into my new life. Today was the day I was going to Julliard, Adam and Gramps are taking me. When I got out of the coma Adam told me I got in, I never told him that I could hear him the whole time. As a going away present Gran bought me a new cello, it's been sent ahead to Julliard because it won't fit in the car. I still haven't seen it yet but I got told it was $1500 so it must be amazing.

"Are you ready?" Called Adam, his guitar was on his back ready to go. He quit the band straight after I came out of the coma and started playing acoustic guitar. Then a miracle happened and he got into Julliard, it turned out he was auditioning when he said he was on a tour round the U.S.A. Anyway we managed to get into the same halls so we virtually live together.

"Yeah, is the car ready?" I ask

"Nearly, we just need to choose the music and put our instruments in. Do you want Mozart, Beethoven or Rock and roll?" He replied. You have to take two instruments with you to Julliard, a practise one and a concert one (Gran gave me the concert one). I pick up my Cello and start to head outside when I remember my present to Adam.

"Just a second I need to get something" I run upstairs and pick up my CD i made for him.

"Actually I made something for you" I pant, running out of breath, I hand over the CD to Adam. He tore of the music note wrapping paper off and smiled. "Adam And Mia, A Love Story", the CD said. It had a photo of me and Adam on the front and contained me playing rock songs on the Cello and my favourite (and his favourite) pieces of music.

"I love you," He said.

"I love you to," I replied. I lent forward and kissed him.He put his hand around my waist and kissed me back. I still find it funny that a popular guy actually fell in love with me, me Mia Hall, the quite orphan girl. I pulled away from him, I felt like I was being watched.

"Whats wr..." Adam cut off mid sentence.

I turn around to see Gran and Gramps watching us.

"How long have you been there?" I ask

"Long enough. Now lets go." Gramps said, sounding disgusted.

I pick up my Cello and head out of the door.

                              * * *

The 10 hour journey to Julliard went by in a flash. Well actually it took 10hrs to get to the place to load the cargo plane then  from there to get to the nearest airport. Then we had a ten hour plane journey to London (where Gramps left us), a one hour Journey to collect our belongs and finally a two hours journey to Julliard. So actually it took twenty five hours to get to Julliard.

Anyway, after about 3 hours in the car, to the cargo plane airport, night fell so Gramps took the steering wheel, me and Adam climbed into the boot and after getting changed  we climbed into the back, lay down and I fell asleep gazing at the stars. After a while Adam put his arm around me waking me up.

"Hi baby" I mutter.

"Are you scared for Julliard?" He asked.

"No, I'm petrified." I whisper. Adam sat up and climbed into the back seat.

"What are you doing?" I sat up slowly and peered into the back seats to see what he was doing.

"Getting our instruments." He stated

"Why" I asked now curious to find out more.

"Be patient!" He moaned.

I could hear him talking to Gramps and then I heard Gramps say just be quite. Adam passed my Cello and his guitar through the back window with a smile on his face. After about 2 minutes he carefully opened my Cello case took my Cello out.

"Well aren't you going to play?" He said, pulling his guitar out.

"Why would I play, we're on a road in the middle of nowhere."

"Exactly, when I was in the band whenever we were nervous we just pulled out our instruments and started playing a random tune." He placed his guitar on his knees and we played until the sun came up. It was nothing like the barbecue, I felt restricted in ways I can't explain then, but this time I felt like a butterfly coming out of it's cocoons for the first time. I felt free.
