Blue Moon

2-Southern Belle

It's been a week.

Which means I leave today. 

My family and Austin were still apprehensive about me going. 

Grandma was in full on support mode this week. She's my own personal hype woman.

If I could I would take her with me to California.

"All set?" Rachel asks and I nod. I've never been on a plane before so I didn't know what constituted as 'airplane' attire. 

Playing it safe I decided on a pair of black leggings, a white tank and a gray jacket. 

I didnt feel like doing anything with my hair so I threw it up in a ponytail. 

They all come with me to the airport. I mean everyone my mom, dad, Rachel, Austin, and my grandma. 

We had to take my moms van just to fit everyone. 

Once we are at the airport I say my goodbyes. Austin is the last one so him and I stand outside the car alone. 

His hands are planted on my waist, "You'll FaceTime me every night right?" He asks and I nod, "And you'll tell me how things are?" Another nod. 

"Good." He says kissing my cheek, "Love you." He says stepping away and opening the car door. 

"I love you too." I say as I watch him get inside the car. 

My parents wait until I am inside to leave. 

I check in and wait for my flight. Then first the first time I step onto an airplane.

I think I made the right choice to wear a jacket. 

Once we take off I put my headphones in listening to some music. 

The agency told me that someone else who models for them was looking for a roommate and since I can't afford my own apartment I took them up on moving in with her. 

I haven't met her yet...obviously. 

All I know is that her name is Desiree Clemons. She is twenty two and is one of the top models of the company. 

I looked up pictures of her and she's beautiful. She's got dark golden skin and brown eyes. She's taller than me at six foot even. Oh and she has tattoos. I saw one on her wrist and one on her back. 

Then I did some research on other models in the company. I still can't believe they chose to hire me, especially looking at these other girls. 

I know I shouldn't compare myself to them but when they look like freaking goddesses it's hard not to. 

The flight attendant asks me if I want anything and I get chips. 

My flight is five hours so I decide to sleep for a while. 

When my plane lands I get off and go get my luggage, then I take an uber to the apartment address they gave me. 

Hopefully she likes me, sometimes my rambling can scare people off. Austin says I just have to try and organize my thoughts before I talk. I wish it was that easy. Usually I just try and gage their facial expression, to see if I need to stop talking. 

It doesn't work every time though. 

The car pulls up to an apartment complex and I grab my bags heading inside. 

It says that the apartment is C109 which I find out is the third floor on the left side of the hall. 

Once I am in front of apartment C109 I take a breath before knocking on the door.
