Moving to the Big City

"It has always been a dream of mine to travel away from home. Get to see life from my own point of view without anyone having to hold me back Jully" she said.
    "Oh come on Elise our town might be small but it's exciting" said Jully.
  "Yes our town is exciting. Yunno how much the serenity of the environment means to me but compared to the big city where my dreams would finally come alive and true. I really am excited to go" Jully said to Elise in excitement.
   "Of course you are, I've known you since you were born. Getting to share the same birthdays, class, family and home, I think I know you better than anyone. I'll really miss you Elise",said Jully helping her pack her last suitcase. Jully couldn't hold back the tears.She would definitely miss her twin sister. They did everything together, an inseperable pair but they were two different people in one.
   Elise preferred to be out there, taking risks and having power while Jully was the quiet one, never wanting to move out of her comfort zone..
    Elise wiped her sisters tears and held her hand. "You're my best friend and my everything. Nothing is coming in between us, not even the big city or my dreams. Without you I'm incomplete",said Elise with a smile. They hugged each other compassionately and continued packing. Once Jully was sure Elise had everything she needed packed and ready to go for her flight the next morning, she let her rest.
     Elise sat in front of her writing table with her favorite pen in her hand and she writes.....
       "Dear Amelia,
Today's my last day in Emicott before I have to move to london to study. Wish you were here with us to see your girl be so brave. Jully is emotional no doubt about me leaving and I must say I would miss her a lot. I'm not really comfortable with people in my space but seems like I would have to learn now. Ever since we moved to Grandpa's it's been just me and Jully being scared to let anyone in. Dad doesn't know I'm going to london. Haven't told him and I don't plan to.
    When the scholarship letter came in, I was so excited to move to the big city and Grandpa has been so supportive. He got all my stuff for school ready and even paid for my flight to london. But I'm scared Amelia, It's my first time moving so far. London is a thousand miles away from Emicott. What if I can't do it?? What if they don't like me?? All this uncertainty is killing me. Feels like I'm developing cold feet already and a lot depends on me right now. Grandpa's investing a lot even though he doesn't have much. Jully is sacrificing her dream of opening her own store all for me. Amelia I wish you were here to help me get through this but like you always say we'll get through it".
