It was January 5th, a cold day and also the day Willow priests life changed forever. Willows mum Jill and her stepdad Steve told her she would be moving too New York City around Christmas break time.Willow was a quiet girl, the sort of girl that has a few close friends, a small circle if you like. She had curly brown hair and beautiful green eyes, a few freckles across her nose and tiny ears and the most prefect smile. She never really fit in the 'popular' clique of maser high school, she didn't smoke like them,sneak out like them,or treat others badly like them,she was one of the ones that got treaty badly by them,abused by them, physically,verbally and mentally by them.Willow was hoping this would be a new start for her everything she had ever hoped for, everything she wasn't in Mississippi, but at what cost?

She was upset to leave her house but this was a time for a new start,a new chapter, who know what it will hold.
Here she was 'The Big Apple', New York City. It was beautiful. It was snowing when willow and her mum landed, it was like one of those pictures you'd see on the loading screen of google or even an Apple Mac. The foot prints in the snow, the snowman on sidewalks,people's laughter, it was all so magical!It almost seemed to good to be true...
Willow and her mum got to the apartment, they were on the 7th floor. The apartment was bog standard. Apart from the kitchen that had an induction stovetop. The walls were painted a grey/white..The windows were pure glass looking over the whole of New York City!
When Willow had a look around the apartment she then began too
