(you will find out most things about Lilith and her life in this chapter)

Lilith's Pov:
"Lil!" I heard a voice yell my name, it will be my mum since I don't live with anyone else. Unless someone broke in... nah.

I basically ran down the stairs I often get told that i'm a 19yo girl with the brain of 10yo, which might I add is not true i'm just quite childish and VERY bad at English I only just got a 4, i'm dyslexic.

"yeah?" I said poking my head around the corner.
she had a grin on her face, the type of grin when she had rather done something or something very good had happened. I stared at her blankly and then it hit me.
"ARE YOU KICKING ME OUT?!" I yelled, "you can't kick me out i'm only a child you can't leave me I have a lot to live for!" I blabbered.

"Lil shut up!"

"yes ma'am. wait so what's going on..?" i said raising an eyebrow.

"sooo... you know how you have been playing for York since you was 15 on scholarship and made it to the first team.." my mum said.

I'm so confused on what's going on.. have I been kicked off to team or something, I slowly nodded my head as I was a bit scared.

"yeah well you don't now." she said bluntly no warning at all.

"what?!" i exclaimed, "what happened exactly?" i asked.

"oh, nothing bad but..." she dragged on the but.. which means something good, when something good is happening she drags on the last word of the sentence.

"but...?"

"you're going to the NRLW!" she said excited.

I froze.

Before my grandad died two years ago I told him i'd make it to the NRLW, ever since i was younger we wanted to go watch the origin series but.. never had the money. (I know NRLW didn't exactly exist two years ago but.. shush.)

I cried, i'll be honest I cried.

Over my tears I asked, "what team will I be playing for..?"

My mum smiled at me, in the NRL me and grandad didn't have favourite teams but we had preferred teams, "you're going to Brisbane Broncos!" she said with a smile.

That was one of our preferred teams.

"So you better pack, they have a private jet for you, which leaves tomorrow." she said trying to shoo me away.

I was lost, confused rather, "You aren't coming with me?"

She sighed and looked at me right in my eyes which was a bit scary her dark brown eyes stared at me for a moment.. "no, i'm not I have to stay here with my mum, i'm sorry Lil." she said with a sad smile.

I hugged my mum, "Now stop crying, this is a huge achievement Lil be happy, and don't worry about me I will speak to you as much as I can, I promise." she said with a wide smile at the end.

"I love you mumma.." I whispered

I call her mumma sometimes because when I was younger I couldn't say mummy or mum, the only thing I could say was mumma, so that was her name until I was about 8.

"I love you too Lil." she let go off me and again shooed me upstairs to pack.

I went back upstairs and lay on my bed. And it hit me.

I'm moving to Australia!

oh my god.

IM MOVING TO AUSTRALIA.

I sat up and looked into my mirror I had on my wardrobe next to me. My bright blue eyes stared back at me and my long brown hair flowed over my shoulders, I stood up and smiled, being 5'5 had it's advantages like I can fit my whole body in my mirror. I opened up my doors with both hands pulling them towards me.
