Ashley Purdy and my sister

America

Hi, my name is Holly and I live in the Highlands up at the top of Scotland. Its very nice here, but sometimes it can be a bit lonely. There's red deer, buzzards and thick purple heather as far as the eye can see but there aren't many people where I live. I'm 15 and have a little 5 yr old brother and a 28 yr old step-sister. The reason why are ages are so far is because my Dad and his 1st wife got married at 20, had my sister Beccy at 21, then divorced 6 yrs later. My dad re-married at 32 and had me when he and my Mum were 34. So by the time my little brother Sammy came along my parents were ancient compared to people at schools parents. But anyway, my story starts on a chilly November morning. A glittery blanket of frost was covering the grass outside. I was coming downstairs for breakfast listening to some music (which my parents hate me listening to. They say black veil brides and bring me the horizon are far too "shouty" for their liking).

"Hey honey hows you?" Mum said as she came through from the kitchen.

"Fine thanks." I replied as she placed some toast on the table.

"Get those headphones out of your ears! You know I don't like it."

I grumbled and took them out of my ears. If only she would understand how awesome black veil brides are! Oh and if only I could go to America! That was the top thing I wanted to do and it would be so cool. I could swim at awesome beaches, see the Statue of Liberty, or go to Hollywood. I might even be able to meet BVB themselves! But of course that's not going to happen because we barely have enough money to stay in the house we're living in, let alone go some place else! But we still survive.

I finished my breakfast then went upstairs to get changed. When I came down again I was surprised to see my Mum, Dad, brother and sister all crowded round the table.

"What's up?" I asked. My Dad looked up, a big grin on his face.

"We're going on holiday!" He cheered.

"WHAT?! SERIOUSLY?! You must be joking!!"

"Nope. I gotta raise and a break from work and my boss said I deserve a treat.....sooooooooo.....we're going to AMERICA!!!!"

My mouth dropped wide open. I had literally 10 mins ago been thinking how impossible it was for my dreams to come true! I still didn't properly believe them "Are you just pulling my leg?"

"Of course not. We're actually going! Yeeey!!!!!!" Beccy squealed with delight, jumping up and down. My sisters very pretty, she has long wavy blonde hair and brown eyes. She's quite tall and slim and she doesn't need to wear any make-up at all her skins so flawless. We both act like children half the time!

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, once I caught a fish alive 6,7,8,9,10, then I let it go again!" Sammy chanted. He's got murky brown eyes like me and short blonde hair. It's ridiculous the amount of nursery rhymes that kid can sing in one day. Once he was singing baa baa black sheep at 2:00 in the morning!

"OH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!" I screamed and ran and gave my Parents a hug. By this point Beccy was dancing about the room with Sammy on her shoulders. I had never felt so happy in my life! I was shaking all over with excitement.
"When do we go!? When do we go!?"

"At the end of next week, on Friday. You'll have to miss school." Mum said.

"YYYYYIIIIIPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shrieked at the top of my voice, just about deafening everybody.

I couldn't concentrate in school for the whole week. I kept on fidgeting and humming. I was even MORE excited when I found out we were going to be staying in Torrance, which is where Ashley Purdy stays. He is my favourite member of BVB and I love him so much. All my dreams were coming true at once and I had a very high chance of meeting him because we were just down the road from him. We would be staying there for 4 weeks which is more than enough but of course that's what we want!
