Home is where the heart is

Chapter 1 : Leaving your family

( this is written in a diary type form)

"Shit..." I muttered to your self as you were packing your bags for my 6 am drive straight to LA tomorrow. Finally, I'm starting college, it was a time to start a new chapter in this so called life. I look down towards the alarm clock realizing its 2 am. I slowly finish your packing and head to bed.

I awoke to the sound of my 14 year old sister rummaging through my room. " Kara,what are you doing ?" looking over to my alarm clock i read the fuzzy numbers 4:28
So much for sleep.
"This room is mine now" Kara laughs starting to walk out. "then where will I sleep when I visit? It's still my room, Kara" I faintly hear her moan and stomp downstairs. I go trough my room making sure I got all the Necessities. I grab my bags and boxes and start loading them into my car. My dad and I were going to drive out there with my mom following us with some furniture. we soon leave after breakfast and we're on the road.
We arrive in LA about 9 pm, we all decide to crash at a motel for the night. The next morning we searched for my new apartment in downtown LA for about a hour. When we arrived my parents helped me put the boxes all in my room and everything out together.
I turn to laugh at Kara for her inability to pick up a box correctly when I see her starting to tear up. "Kara, you all good?" I ask giving her a hug. She tightly hugs back and shakes her head "i don't want you to leave Nova.. I'll miss you.." she cries into my shoulder. I turn to my parents hoping for some help but my dad holding my mom and calming her down. "Listen, Kara, I'll visit whenever I can, okay? You have a phone you can contact me at anytime you'd like." I reassure her. she nods and let's go of me, smiling. "Don't date some weirdo, please. I want to brag to all my friends how my collage sister dates a mega hot guy" she laughs outing her hands on her hips. I laugh "I'll try my best, Kara. do good in school, if you need help call me." she nods and my mom gives me a hug. Giving the normal mom advice of stay safe and blah blah blah. My dad hugged me and did the same. Told me to keep in touch. They start to walk out as I follow and I see my mom and Kara in tears as they give me one last hug, I can't help but cry. I walk them out to the car and get the speech of how I won't become anything without college and to always be safe. I promise to do my best, and they drive away.

I walk back to my room and struggle to get the door open. "Fucking.. door" I mutter shaking the Handle. I hear faint giggling from the door next to me. I put my soft brown hair behind my ear and look to my right to see a 2 tall men, one with big fluffy hair and light eyes and another with glasses and flip flops. I ignore them as I roll my eyes and one approaches me, the tall fluffy hair one. "Hi, I'm clay. I live next door, would you like help? The doors always been like this.. here" he takes my key and does some magic with it making it open. I look at him in awe. "Thanks." I say walking in
"Hey wait, I didn't get your name!" He says
"Nova.. Julia nova" I smile. he grins and waves
"Well, Julia, would you like to come to dinner at our apartment tonight at 7?" He says in a weird manner. I look around to see my lack of food. I agree and smile. "Great see ya then!" He smiles as the other fellow walks up. "I'm Steve" he says and smiles "it's nice to meet you both,but I really have to unpack,ill see you guys at 7" I smile. they shake their heads and start to walk

"Told you I was the charm master" I hear clay say
"Shut up cib"
