The ice is my only escape

Part 1

Y/n's pov:

"They say home is where you can go and don't have to be afraid of everything. Home is where you feel like you can finally let go and and live your life. Where your family or boyfriend or just your pets or even just Netflix and ice cream wait for you.
Home is something I don't have anymore. My home was with my parents. But there gone. So is my home."

I am sitting in the back of a taxi on my way to the town I used to call home. I moved with my parents four years ago because my father and mother  had a good job offer. And now I am back here in Kentucky.
God i miss my parents.

I am ripped out of my thoughts when the taxi comes to a stop. I look out the window and see my uncle and aunt stepping out of the house. I slip the driver some money and step out of the car.

My aunt come running to me. "God Chiara sweetheart give me a hug" and she grabs my arms and hugs me. "Hello aunt  Natalie" "I am so happy that your here my sweetheart".

We then stop hugging and my uncle grabs me. "Hi, Chiara I am glad your here" "me too Uncle Tom"

My uncle let's me go and turns to the car and starts to grab my bags out. "Uncle I can do it myself". But then my aunt says "sweetheart you can't even walk properly with you leg, you are still recovering we will take care of your bags okay?" I answer with an "okay".

Just as I am making my way to the door a little girl comes running over to me. "CHIARA!! You're here!" She grabs my legs and hugs me.

I hugs her back. "Well hello Harper".  Harper is my little niece. She just turned four years old. Then my aunt yells "Harper sweetheart don't grab Chiara by her legs like that you might hurt her!" "aunt it is nothing!"

I go to the other side of the car and open the door so that milo can get out. And my niece then yells "A DOG?" and me, my uncle and aunt laugh at her reaction.

"Oh god we forgot to tell her that Chiara has a dog." says my aunt and slaps her forehead. I just laugh and my niece goes crazy. "We're having a dog in the house!"

We all laugh. "yess sweetheart" says my uncle while smiling at us.

We play a little with him while my uncle and aunt unload the car and bring my stuff upstairs. I look around the neighborhood and see a guys walking towards the house right over my uncle's house.

He turns around right before entering his house and looks at me. He has dark brown hair and brown eyes. He looks really serious and I never saw him in this town before I left.

He keeps starring at me and doesn't break the intense I contact. I could feel his eyes pierce right through me.

My attention is ripped away from me as my aunt calls us inside. I look at her and a little hand slide in to mine and pulls me to the frond door.

When I quickly glance back the guy is turned and heads inside the house without looking back.

I get inside together with Milo and Harper just as my uncle and aunt come back downstairs after carrying my last bag.

Aunt Natalie shows me where the room is and then asks "do you need help while unpacking?" "Um not really I am just gonna take my time" " okay we are downstairs if you need us" she then closes the door. 

I sit on the bed and look around the room. It is a nice room with a double bed and a closet and table and chair in it. I also see that there an area made for books. I love books there my life. I love how you can explore a hole new world with just opening a book.

I look around some more and there is a door that leads to a badroom.

While i look around Milo jumps on the bed next to me and lays his head on my legs. "What are we gonna do now Milo? Don't you miss them? Pffff, you know what let's start unpacking." I get up and start unpacking my stuff.

After two hours I am almost ready I only have to unpack all my books and set them in the area that was in the room. When I am doing that my door opens and then I hear the voice of my uncle.

"do you like the area I made for you? I didn't know you would like it, your dad always said you liked to read and when you lived you went everyday to the bookstore and-" he was just rambling so I cut him off. "It's wonderful thank you. And thank again that I can stay here" I could see that he was nervous and wants everything to be perfect. And it is.

"sweetheart it is no problem, it is the least I can do for you. Oh and your car got here oh and here are the keys." "Oh, thank you, I think I am gonna go to the store because I need a few things and I need to grab some stuff for Milo because most of his stuff got thrown away."

"Okay, you do that and Natalie is making dinner so just see that your home for dinner" "sure"

When he is gone I finish placing my books and grab my keys and go down to the hallway. "Aunt do you need anything from the store? I am going to get some things really quick" "oh, no honey be back for dinner" "I will" I go outside and I step in my car.

When I get to the store I step out and grab everything I need. I pay for everything and make my way back home.

Back home I set everything in my room and go eat. We talk about stuff and I help cleaning up. When I am upstairs in my room I take off my knee brace and a quick shower. After i brush my teeth and put a brace on especially for sleeping. I also take care of my other wounds and then i get in bed.

I start looking on social media to see if I can find when there is a hockey training so I can surprise all my friends and tell them I got back. I haven't told anyone that I am back. We all talk on the phone or send messages when i was away.

My friends hang out at the ice rink al the time because the boys play  hockey and the girls like to watch and hang out there. We used to do it all the time and I hope they still do it. When I find that they have practice tomorrow i will go there and surprise them.

I pet the bed and Milo jumps on it and lays beside me. "Goodnight Milo" and I give him a kiss on the head. I turn off my lamp and let sleep take me over.

"Hi, so this is the first chapter hope you like it. Like I said I am not so good with English but I hope it is okay."
(P.s.I also don't know how they call this (picture under this) it is what Chiara has on her leg from the accident. She also has a big cut on her shoulder and other injuries from the accident.)
