starting over

Chapter 9

When I went inside I saw a round table in the middle and two stairs going up. And a big chandelier.

Two hallways beside the stairs with a lot of rooms. You could pull out the doors on the side.

This house is massive.

"I hope you'll like it here, Lily." Holland says to me and gets interrupted by a man who has blonde hair and a suit on "Mrs Thomsen, there's someone on the phone for you"

She nodded and started to walk away "oh and bradley can show you your room"

I looked at him and he smiled at me.

"Yea okay. So we have to go upstairs for that."

I nod and follow him.

"So since when do you know my mom?" He asks me.

"Oh since today."

He looked at me and chuckled. "Okay then"

"Yea it's kinda weird. Like I just came from New York and didn't know where to go at first and she offered me to come with her then."

"I see." He chuckles.

Bradley had black hair and brown eyes. He was a bit taller than me and attractive, I would say.

"Okay so we have different rooms tho. I don't know which one you want so I'm just gonna show you some of them." he says.

I chuckle "oh okay. I'm not picky."

He smiled at me and showed me the first room.

"This one has one bed and a bath with a wardrobe."

"It's cute." I say.

We can go to the next one "this one has basically the same things but has a balcony too."

This room is so pretty. It's yellowish and looks just like in those princess movies.

"Ah I see. You like this room. There you go." Bradley said.

"You sure?"

"Yea. We have so many rooms but nobody uses them so you're good." he chuckles.

"If you say so." I say as I walk inside.

Bradley keeps staying where he was but leans against the door.

I start to pack out my stuff and put it into the wardrobe and shelf.

"So from where do you come from?" He asks me.

"New york."

"Oh wow. Didn't see that coming."

I chuckle. "And you? Have you always lived here in Boston?"

He nods "yea. My parents love it here so yea."

"That's cool, I guess."

"Mhm. And how about you? Are your parents coming later on too or?"

My jaw dropped when he said those words. I felt my eyes getting wet and I just stood there.

Bradley pushed himself away from the door so he stood straight and looked at me kinda worried.

"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?"

"Uhh no." I say and try to blink away my tears.

"I guess I'm gonna come later on again? And if you wanna talk then my rooms is just across from yours."

I nod and he closes my door and I hear his footsteps.

I sit on the bed and lay my head down into my hands.

Tears are falling down my face. I can't keep playing this game when someone asks me about my parents.
