𝓝ine months had passed since the death of Marina— Richard's Beaulieu wife, Arabella's mother.
And as the island remained the same, the people living there had changed.

But it was the end of June, and everyone could already feel the salty breeze and the radiant sun that illuminated until late, which indicated the beginning of summer and vacations.

And Arabella couldn't be more excited to finally go back home, the OBX, after her father decided it was better for them to move to Greece.

Two weeks after her mother's death, she packed her life in a suitcase, without having the chance to say goodbye to her friends,—— her father decided unexpectedly to move to their house in Europe, the girl knew it was a way to cope with the pain; Richard wasn't a man that expressed or talk about his feelings, so when his dearest wife died, he felt the need to get away from that pain, and moving away seemed for him the best option to 'heal', after demolishing the house filled with memories,— the home he build with the love of his live, were they raised their first and only daughter.

Now, she was flying back to Figure Eight, wondering if everything was going to be the same, if she would be finally able to get her 'normal' life back
She just longed for a quiet but fun summer, to enjoy her teenage years— ignoring the fact that she had left for almost a year, and her mother was dead.

The brunette was so nervous, she hadn't mentioned anything to her friends yet, thinking it was better to surprise them,
But the truth is; Bella was scared to go back,

The hours felt endless for the brunette, every minute was like an hour, she was trapped, with only the company of her asleep dog, and looking at the window only made her impatience grow.
her father on the other hand, was very focused on his work, receiving calls from his clients and employees, almost forgetting her daughter was in the same jet as him.

The girl stood up, her head hurting and feeling nauseous, her body felt sick whenever she couldn't handle strong emotions,
"William,— um, when are we arriving?" she asks, approaching the aforementioned, who was sat near the pilot's area

"In an hour, Miss Arabella" the security guard of the Beaulieu's family answers, "Is everything in order?" he asks, seeing the girl a little sick, "Yes, perfect— Thank you" she speaks softly, assuring him with a smile,

But instead of waiting in her seat, she entered the bathroom, locking the door behind her— she looked among her father's things for some pills to calm her down, Richard always had his medicine stored tidally, so it made it easier for the girl to find what she was looking for.

OxyContin, 40mg

She took three, chewing the pills for a greater effect,
There was something about that feeling that felt pleasant, that numbness she had known for the past months.
She craved that.
Those pills were initially prediscripted by the doctors, to cope with Richard's leg pain after an accident he had, but it was Arabella who became dependent of them.

The brunette sat back down, her father was still in a business call, and her dog sleep— but she was more relaxed, and the time passed faster, in a matter of seconds, they already had arrived

William opened the door for the girl, she left the jet with her golden retriever, and her father behind her,
She looked at her surroundings, feeling better than ever, she was home, finally

"Arabella" Richard speaks, turning off his phone, "Remember, we have dinner at the Camerons" the man reminds her, his daughter nods, "I know dad"
