Forever With Us

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Last week has been very unpredictable in my life because many things happened at once. I  celebrated my seventeenth birthday last week at my old house in Boston. Now I'm standing in front of my new house in Seatle.

 The house is bigger when compared to our previous one. The front yard is decorated with beautiful flowers; roses, lilies, violets, dahlias, daisies and much more. 

I enter and look around the house with my curious eyes.

 "Well, the house is not that bad. It's bigger than our old one" says my mother. My mother has been always the person who loves luxurious things while my father is the complete opposite. "So does my children love their new home?" my father asks. I give him a slight nod and start to look around. 

"Yeah not bad," my brother says keeping his eyes glued to his phone

 I and my dad never had that cool and chill relationship. Maybe this is because he is a neurosurgeon and is busy with his career but still he never spends enough time with his children or his wife but he likes Oliver more than me not only him my mom too.

This is because they expected a boy instead of me. I wasn't planned but unfortunately, my mom got pregnant a year after she got married and I was born. Even though they wanted a boy over me they still take good care of me so I'm grateful for that.

I enter my room and am mesmerized by the design. The walls are a colour of an overcast sky which install tranquillity to my surroundings. The smell of a sweet cranberry pear bellini candle engulfs the room. The windows are covered with light blue curtains.

This bedroom is definitely bigger than my previous one. There is a huge queen size bed with a light peach blanket that covers the entire bed. Besides that, there is a nightstand and lamp on it.

 I look around my room and start to unpack my things because I have to go to my new school on Monday which is in 2 days. Suddenly a cold gust thrills through my spine thinking about my new school. As a social anxiety person, I fear a lot about my new school.

One of the reasons why I'm disappointed in my dad is because of this as well. I hate to meet new people. In my previous school, I only talked to a girl and now she is my inseparable best friend. My father got a promotion so he had to move over here but I was truly against it but in the end, I'm here and unpacking my stuff.

Suddenly my phone rings. I look at the number and smile. It is non-other than my best friend Avalynn.

"Hey, bitch !!How are you, babe?? I miss you so much" Ava speaks from the other side."Seriously Ava? I just left a few hours ago and you are already starting to miss me?",

"Of course, I miss my babe. We have been best friends since middle school and now we are in high school. Woahhh time has flown so fast" She says in a dramatic voice.

"Why are you talking like an eighty years old grandma? We are 17. If you truly miss me then why don't you come here?"I ask even though I know the answer.

"Well who said I'm not coming? I will my mom is planning to come over there to live with her new boyfriend after divorcing my dad" she says, even though she says it like it is nothing but deep down I know that she is sad and upset about her parent's divorce. 

I sigh and speak to her for what felt like hours.

I look at my watch and am stunned by the time it is 6:30 pm, which means I have been talking to her for 2 hours. Oh shittt!!

"Hey Ava, I gotta go and have to unpack my things and get settled because my school is in 2 days," I say.

"Oh yeah ok go on and by the way have you thought about getting a boyfriend there," She asks with a teasing voice and repeats it.

 I shrug and say "I don't know. I'm not interested in that topic at all. You know about my parents they are not very fond of the idea of me getting a boyfriend"

"Aishhh I can't believe that you are my best friend. Whatever I will come there soon and will set you with a handsome and sexy boy"

I laugh and say." yeah sure I'm waiting and hang up"

I never really thought about getting a boyfriend because as I said earlier my parents are not very okay with that and also I'm not allowed to talk to any guys so that makes it even more difficult for me to get one. But sometimes I do think about getting a boyfriend.

I want someone who is kind, cute and polite...............

I unpack all my stuff and arrange it in an orderly manner and go for a quick shower. I hear my mom yelling at me to come to eat so I head downstairs and eat my dinner.

 Once I finish, I kiss my mom's cheek and look for my dad but as usual, he is talking to someone about his job-related stuff.

I sigh and say goodbye to my mom and smack my brother's head. He shouts and turns back to his phone. Since my brother is 2 years younger than me. My mom never takes his words seriously.'Struggles of younger siblings'

I go back to my room and jump on my bed. I cover myself with the soft blanket and think about my life and my new school. Sighing I drift off to my dreamland

Hope you guys liked the first chapter. I know it's a bit rusty but I promise it will get better in the future. Be happy and drink lots of water.......
