Vera was born into a royal family but she never felt royal. until she was sent to a private school In Vienna and met Sara who helped to teach her how to embrace the true version of herself and to love it in an unexpected way.
Finally I was having a nice one of my vision. It was peaceful and quiet. I saw on a long beach so long it seemed endless but in a good way. It was snowing the snow coming down slowly. I would have been cold but I was wearing a very cozy blue coat.

What was odd was that I actually owned that outfit. That had never happen before. I stood relaxed as I put my arms out letting the snow fall on me. Relinquishing control and accepting it as it came down on me.
When I woke up I groaned at the light and ponding headache. Enzo was still fast asleep next to me. I laughed softly to myself knowing that he'd be basically unaffected considering how much he drinks. I would be worried about his habits but I knew he was smart and could handle himself. We'd had that conversation once after I'd expressed my concerns. I checked the time wanting to go back to sleep but knowing if I was late it would cause a massive issues. As it was my last day in Vienna. The school had set up a taxi to come get and take me to the airport. It wasn't to bad of a drive.
My alarm clocked read 5:45 I had until 8:30 to get ready not to bad. I had packed my bags yesterday morning wanting to have as much time as possible to say goodbye. I had already I had a conversation with Mrs Greenfeild and Mrs Santiago thanking them for they for all they did for me. The one person I really needed to thank was of course to no surprise Enzo. I had got some flowers and hid them in the room. Being careful not to wake him up I grabbed them out the wardrobe. Red and white roses with a nice black bow trying them. Grabbing some paper I wrote a note on them. "Dear Enzo, I just wanted to thank you for the 7 weeks of my life. I was terrified coming to st' Marie's worried I'd be on my own but you stood by me no matter how crazy things got. You helped me to learn how to love myself for that I can't thank you enough Xoxo Vera" I smiled walking out of the room to place the flowers on his bed. While waking out of the room I was stopped by someone. Sara. "The fuck do you want?" I asked accusingly "You're leaving?" Sara asked confused "Yeah what of it" I hummed unbothered "Why?" She pressed "Because I can't stand being around your dumbass" I laughed waking away. She just stood there dumbfounded. God sometimes I love having such an attitude. When I used it the right places. Going back into my room to find Enzo awake. "Good Morning" I smiled at him lazily. He just groaned. "Enzo I need to get changed I kinda need you outta her for a minute" I laughed "Okay" he mumbled slowly making his way out of my room. I got changed and planned on doing a comfortable but stylish look. My last look for Vienna should be a memorable one.

I then grabbed all my bags. A small hand bag carry on, my over head and a suitcase. That's all the airline allowed and it was a miracle I had fit everything in it. After that I had some time. I had an idea. I had enough time to go out to breakfast with Cecelia and Enzo. One last hang out together. "Heyyy Enzo?" I asked making my way into the kitchen. "Yeahhh" he asked back mating my tone. "Do you wanna get breakfast with Cecelia if she wants to come?" I questioned smiling "That would be nice" he smiled at me "Okay let's go asks Cece" I said happily.
I particularly spiked down the corridor happily. While Enzo trailed more quietly behind. We reach Cecelia and I knocked on the door. "Hey v hey Enzo what's up" Cecelia greeted us "We're going out breakfast do wanna join us" I asked "Sure but don't you have to leave?" She asked confused "Yeah but I have sometime" I explained She nodded. We made our way over the café up the road to the dorm. That was another thing I was gonna miss. That cute little café was very handy. Sitting down at booth laughing at random jokes Enzo was making we didn't have too much time but enough. "You know it's actually gonna be so sad without you" Enzo said "I'll call" I laughed "Stockholm isn't too far away you'll come visit us" Cecelia smiled "Ohh maybe you guys can come out Sweden" I suggested excitedly "That would actually be so sick" Enzo laughed The conversation went on like that and other such things. Although the fun had to come an end. "Shit guys I have to go!" I said after suddenly checking the time and seeing I didn't have long left. We paid and legged it back to the dorm building. Running holding on to each other's arms and laughing. It was fun. Childish silly fun. The kind of chaotic fun we all need every once in a while. We made it back and quickly I gathered my things. Enzo, Cecelia, Emma and very shocking Cassie and Daniel tagged along in walking me out to where the taxi was meant to be picking me up from. The car hadn't arrived yet giving me some time to say my goodbyes. We reached the spot and I turned around to face everyone getting emotional already. "God I'm gonna miss you guys" I hummed. Frist was Cecelia. I hugged her with a real warmth. "You've been such a great friend to me and I love you for it." I cried into her. "You're great to Vera" she whisper patting my shoulder. Then it was Cassie and Daniel. "We've had issues I know but really hope you guys find happiness" I smiled trying to be mature. "You too" Cassie said while Daniel nodded. Emma next as I said my goodbyes going down the line. She hugged me frist burying her face in my neck. "I'm sorry Vera" she whispered softly. "I'm sorry too" I replied This next was one was going to really hurt. Enzo. I was really crying now. "Oh god Enzo" I cried hugging him. "I love you" I said though tears. "I love you too" his eyes watered. The car pulled up. I pulled away from Enzo. This was it now. "Well this is me bye guys" I said waving as I walked away. I got in the car. "You Vera" the guy asked me. I nodded turning on my phone and putting headphones in. Bigger than the whole sky by Taylor swift playing. The perfect song. The drive wasn't long. We got there I thanked the driver getting out and walking toward the airport the large building casting a shadow over me. "Goodbye goodbye goodbye you were bigger than the whole sky you were more than just a short time and I've got a lot to Pine about and I've got a lot to live without I'm gonna meet what could've been would've been what should've been you" The lyrics from the phones trigger my thought as I made my way though airport. Not present at all I was stuck thinking about everything that had happened and all the people I was leaving. But also the people I was returning to and the new person they would get to meet. It was a bitter sweet feeling really. It finally came time to board the plane. I found my seat and sat down looking out the window. Taking in the sight. I thought about Enzo and how much he helped me. I though about what I was like the last time I was here. The Change I made the memories I was coming home with. The people I was coming home to. The home I was returning to.
My thoughts were interrupted by the intercom. It was time. As expected a few minutes later after the safety brieft the plane began moving. My headphones know playing ride by Lana del Rey. The plane picked speed at the same time as the song. We left the ground and I watched as Austria disappeared below the clouds. Putting an end to this era "I'm tried of feeling like fucking crazy I'm tried of driving till I see stars in my eyes" The fast movement of plane and the song doubled the feeling. It was like I was weightless like I left everything at the ground. That is one way of putting it. I was returning to Stockholm not as a different person but a more confident more aware and happy one and that made all the difference.
