FATE

Hailey

I think you may all wonder where my mom is or if i didn't had friends back home in Italy.
I decided to tell something about me to get you to know me better.

As i said, i grew up in Italy. My dad retired when i was born, at the age of 30.
I lived there with my dad and my mom. She just looked like me.
Blonde hair, blue eyes and light skin.

I never went to a public school because i got teached at home by private teachers. They would come 5 days of the week between 8am and 2pm. They were all Spanish women.
That's also why i never got to learn Italian.

When i turned 12 my mom and i got ready to drive to a nearby supermarket to get a few things.
Normally our chauffeur James would always go shopping for us because otherwise it was a bit dangerous since we're the family of Xavi Hernandez. On this day we decided to go by ourselves because there were very few things we wanted to get.

On our way someone crashed into our car when we were about to drive trough an intersection. The person was so fast that our car rolled over so that our roof was on the ground. I was completely in shock and as i said i was twelve so i didn't even know what to do. I felt pain everywhere and saw my mom not moving or reacting to my screaming. The car drove directly into her side of the car.

At the end i had a few bruises, a concussion and one of my arms was broken. But not only that. I was completely traumatised. When i got out of hospital after a week my mom had to stay there. But she never got out of it again because she died there a few days after my discharge from hospital. It was the hardest time for me and my dad.

I didn't had any friends to talk to because i didn't went to a public school or kindergarten. In my neighbourhood there were only old people living there. So i had to go to therapy.

It helped me. But till today, as i am 18 years old, it still haunts me and that's also why i didn't got my drivers license yet. I was to scared. My fear of driving with someone disappeared after a few months because i also trusted James and my father. I never tried driving with someone else that was not James or my father so i don't know if i'm still traumatised with that.

Leaving Italy to go to Spain is a new opportunity for me because i am 18 now and had the chance to finally make some friends. I wanted to leave my past behind and focus on my and my dads new life.

Luckily i don't have to work because clearly my dad earns enough money for the both of us but maybe i want to start finding something to work so that i can have a bit of a change in my life and see something else.

Now that i'm here in Spain i'm going to start a new life. I'm going to be happier and i'll try to move on from my past. Hopefully i'm finding new friends soon.

What do you think about this chapter? It's shorter than the others but i just wanted you to get to know the main character to clarify things.
Ty for reading!
