Ignorance

Piano's POV

"For this dance we'll move with each other,
There ain't no other step than one foot
Right in front of the other."
-One Republic, Marching On

"Hey P," I heard a whisper.
"Hey Piano..." The voice grew impatient.
"HEY PIANO!" I jolted awake, my mom was standing above me. Wait where am I again..?

"We are in England now, we are getting off the plane now.." Oh right, now I remember. "Come on Cheerio!" She said in a posh British accent, that made me incoherently laugh out loud.

"Mom, that was a pretty bad accent" she laughed as well and hooked her arm into mine.

We grabbed our luggage and went to the nearest breakfast place in sight.

"How many?" The hostess asked us.

"Two please," my mom and I said in unison. The waitress returned our remark with a glare.

"Not from around here, huh?"

"Nope, we just moved here, from the U.S. We are heading to Holmes Chapel, later today." My mom sounded so excited that she couldn't contain it anymore. She wanted to shout it to the entire world!

"Oh, I have a friend that lives there. If you see Gemma tell her that Crystal says hello. Alright here's your table, enjoy your meal and your time here. England is a beautiful place."

We ordered, talked some and then hit the road to Holmes Chapel.

"Finally, we are home!" My mom excitedly remarked.

I gasped, I didn't know how to react. This house was beautiful, and not to mention an actual house. Not a tiny little apartment that you could barely walk in. The door was a darker colour blue and the front was a gray colour brick. There was even a little garden in the front, growing beautiful different coloured flowers and vegetables. "Wow, mom this is just amazing! I have no words!"

The inside was even more stunning, cherry hardwood floors, all new appliances, the rooms were painted a welcoming white. I explored every floor. The basement spacious, carpeted and had it's own bathroom. The second floor had a kitchen, living room, another bathroom and a dinner table. The top floor had 2 regular sized bedrooms and a master bedroom with of course another bathroom.

"Oh my gosh Mom... How did you afford all of this? This is insane!"

"Don't worry about it honey, just enjoy it whilst you have it. Oh and by the way we need to go pick out a bed for both of us and some other necessities, like food."

"Alright then, let's go." And so we left our brand new house unattended and vacant.

I bounced on a matress, this one seemed just like the last one I hopped on. "Mom, can I just get this one? I'm sick of looking at the same thing over and over again."

"If that's what your heart desires P."

"My heart desires to get out of here", she chuckled just as a sales assitant came over to help us.

"Hi, do you girls need any help?" By the looks of her name tag, her name was Gem. She was pretty, tall, skinny and had ombre hair colour.

"Oh yeah, can you help me carry this one to the front and then into that big truck over there?" I asked shyly.

"Of course. Are you just moving? You don't sound like you're from around here." She chuckled.

"Yeah, we live on Poolford Lane. Where do you live? Oh and by the way my name is Piano."

"Oh we live a street down from you guys! Crofters Corner, and nice to meet you and your mom. I love your name it's very unique! My name is Gemma."

Gemma that sounds familiar, where have I heard that name before?Gemma...Gemma..Gemma! "Oh your friend Crystal wanted to say hi!" I said awkwardly, as usual.

"Oh thanks for carrying along the message. Now let's get back to work." She smiled her perfect smile and we started moving the mattress towards the register.

"Hey Piano, maybe we could grab coffee or hang out sometime soon."

"Yeah that would be great Gemma. I would love that, you can be my tour guide!" We exchanged numbers and parted ways.

So far I really liked this little town we were in. It felt like our new home was welcoming our decision on moving away from what we knew to explore the unknown. And so far it was working for me.
