The Road To Sisterhood

On the other hand..

Here I was. Far, far away from him. Far away from anything that could hurt him. Yes, it does kill me staying this far away from him, but it's the best, for the both of us. Last night, I went home and took all my stuff. Now here I am, on the plane to my new home. In an hour, I'll be in Lisbourne, Australia. No, I don't have a home here, but luckily, I have an old friend. A very good one also. Maia, Maia Mitchell was her name, and it still is. Maia knew everything about me. From my crush on Ross to my favorite cereal to my biggest fear. Everything. We've talked a lot on Skype ever since she left America to come back home. Sometimes, Valerie would have to come shut us up in the middle of the night. Val has talked to Maia a few times, both are even friends. But Maia has promised me not to tell anyone where I am. I'll be living there for a while, at least until I can afford an apartment.

I don't even know how, but an hour past in front of my eyes. They announced that we were landing. Here it is, my new beginning, one without love and definitely without Ross.

I go out of the airport and see a brunette in a blue dress sitting in her black Mercedes. I go up to her. She sees me and we exchange long hugs.

Laura: I've missed you sooo much!

Maia: I've missed you more! Come, let's go home, and we can talk all day long!

Laura: No Maia, I need to start searching for a job. I don't wanna be a burden on you.

Maia: Nonsense! You're staying at,my place forever and ever avd ever! Just get a job and we can share the rent. Like roommates?

Laura: Okay.

The drive was quite entertaining, Maia and I were talking about... Everything.

Maia: So how is this Ross guy?

A smile formed on my lips, but soon faded away into a frown.

Laura: He was cool.

Maia: Was??

I guess there isn't anything I can hide from this one. Better tell her.

Laura: Haha, he is, was, and always will be the best.

Maia: What exactly makes him so special?

Laura: Every single detail. He is absolutely wonderful, he's sweet, protective, funny, caring, adorable, cute, fun to be with, entertaining, a great singer, and my best friend.

Maia: Huh? Sorry I stopped listening at protective.

I don't exactly know why, but that made me laugh.

Laura: Maiaaaaaa!

Maia: Lauraaaaaa!

Maybe this trip to Australia will be fun, maybe I can learn to live without Ross, maybe. Could this really be me moving on?
