STELLA'S POV

It was 2:30pm on a normal Wednesday when my teacher pulled me out of my class. I was so confused and couldn't understand what I'd done when she told me what had happened.

My family. They'd passed in a car crash on the way home from my brothers tournament. After that sentence, my teacher kept talking but i couldn't hear anything. I fell to the ground as tears rushed down my face. People tell me that they all heard a blood curdling scream coming from me, but I can't remember any sound. The whole world was just quiet.

I remember my best friend Anna running out of the class room and holding me whilst I was sobbing on the floor. I remember seeing my entire class standing next to the window watching me. The last thing i remember is the whole world going black.

That day is one month ago today. In the past month people have constantly told me I've changed, but how couldn't I? I'm getting better every day, but I'll never be the same without my family.

Earlier today I got the news, that I'm moving to another country. Actually even another continent. I'm moving to Italy, to live with my grandparents. I've stayed with Anna for the past month, but I can't live with her permanently, so Italy is the last option.

I really don't want to leave Anna and all my other friends, but at the same time I'm really happy to get a new start in a totally new place where no one knows me or what's happened. Also I've never been to Italy before but I've seen that when I heard the news I searched it up and it looks really beautiful.

My grandparents live in Monza, a kinda small city near Milan. Thinking about it I actually think I met some boys from there once, at this soccer cup in Spain. They played for a team from there, but I can't remember what team. I really liked one of the boys, but we only knew each other for a week and when we had to leave I remember feeling so sad thinking I'd never meet him again. Well now maybe I will, I just wonder if he will recognise me. I know I would recognise him, I could never forget him. We just had this chemistry and there was just a way our souls connected in a way I've never connected with a boys soul before. I can't keep thinking about him right now because it just hurts.

I let go off my thought and continued packing. I leave in two days, and there's a lot to pack. I also have to say goodbye to everyone, but I just can't bring myself to tell them the news. It's weird to think about the fact that I'm just leaving and I don't even know when I'll be back. Charleston isn't my home anymore. Atleast not in a few days it isn't.

After two hours of packing, I finally built the guts to send my friends a message. I texted the group chat with my closest friends and told them the news. Anna is so far the only one who knows, and I'm nervous to see how the others will react.
