Fresh start

September 16th, 1:29pm.

Willows POV

I slowly make my way up the stairs of my new apartment. I'm carrying a heavy box, the last one of the move. I'm pretty sure this fresh start is a good idea but, I can't help but miss my nana and papa. I will make sure to visit them a lot, but I just couldn't take it anymore. Being stuck at home reminded every day of what happened. I had to get out of there. I finish carrying the box up the stairs and open my apartment door. Slowly I place the box down and make my way to the kitchen to start unpacking the kitchen boxes.

I finish unpacking and organizing the boxes in the kitchen. Slowly walking toward the front door, I grab my shoes and slip them on. Standing up I grab my purse and open the door. Closing and locking the door behind me I start walking down the stairs. I decided to get some air and go for a walk to help learn my new surroundings. Finally reaching the bottom of the stairs I decide to go to the small coffee shop on the corner. I slowly start my walk looking at the surroundings the chill air making me shiver a little. After a few minutes I finally make it to the coffee shop. I walk in being greeted with the fresh smell of coffee. I walk up to the counter already knowing what I wanted from the small shop. "Hey pretty lady what can I get for you." The man at the counter greets me. "Hello, Can I just get an iced latte with light ice." I respond back. "That will be 2.59 pounds Ma'am." he tells me. I reach into my purse and grab three pounds and hand it to him. A few minutes later he brings out my order handing it to me. "Have a good day sir." I say walking out of the coffee shop. A few minutes later I notice something on my cup I turn it around to see that the man had put his number on my cup. I smile at the action putting his number into my contacts.

September 17th 8:07 am.

I wake up to the sound of my alarm going off. Today is my first day at my new job at the library. I lazily get out of bed. walking to the bathroom I brush out my hair throwing it in a ponytail. I decide on putting on a little bit of makeup. I apply some mascara and highlighter. I Brush my teeth then throw on black flared leggings and an old sweatshirt putting a on my nametag. Luckily working at a Library doesn't come with a uniform just a nametag. After I got home from my walk yesterday, I finished Unpacking the rest of the boxes. The only thing I have to unpack now is my suitcases full of clothes there are many of them. I have a hard time telling people no. Growing up my parents were very strict and enforced a lot of bad habits that I can't grow out of. When I was younger, I couldn't say no to my parents because that was seen has talking back. They didn't allow that. I walked into the kitchen grabbing my purse and an apple heading out the front door making sure to lock it behind me. I make the long treck down the stairs of my apartment complex starting the walk to work. I have a car I just don't see the point of using to go to work when it's only a five-minute walk. I put in my earbuds picking a random playlist to fill the silence. Around five minutes late I arrive at work turning off my music and putting my earbuds away. I walk inside being greeted with the fresh smell of books and my manager. "Hello, you must be the new girl I'm Luna, Luna Taylor I'm your manager." She greets me with a bright smile. "Hi, I am the new girl my names Avery, Avery Davis." I greet her back hoping to sound cheerful. She shows me around the library and what my job is. I thank her as she walks away to go do her job. I've worked in a library before but not one this big. It was a small one in my hometown. I've always loved reading I have quite the collection of books in my room. Romance and fantasy are my favorite they pull you away from the real world and give you hope. That's why I like them. I make my way to the return box and place them on a cart walking around and placing them in their correct section making sure to mark them has returned.

September 17th, 6:30pm.
I walk out of the library making sure to change the sign to closed on my way out. I just finished my shift it was overall a pretty good day there were no Karen's. It was peaceful I met a few different people that had the same liking in books has me it was fun to talk to them about different books. A few times I had been asked if I was new around here because they hadn't seen me which made me smile. It reminded me of my hometown where everyone knew everyone. I put in my earbuds and turned on some random music. A few times during the day the guy from the coffee shop who I learned was named  Henry Wilson. He seems sweet and he is pretty attractive. I also learned he has a sister named Victoria but his family calls her Vicky. I've always loved the name Victoria it reminds me of the color violet which is my favorite color. His sister is also really pretty she has long brown hair with bright blue eyes like the ocean. Henry has dirty blonde hair and bright blue eyes as well. I arrive at my apartment walking inside deciding that I should be productive and unpack my suitcases of clothes. I make some porridge and make my way to my bedroom to finish unpacking.
