༺☆Us☆༻

⋇⋆✦Chapter 1✦⋆⋇

   I know it's supposed to be my house now, but I felt like I could suffocate if I stayed in there for too long.
  I don't really know where I'm going. I wasn't able to walk around since we settled everything in my apartment.
  I mean, apartment is a big word. It's just a small room in which they somehow manage to put a toilet, a shower and a bed. 
  But I guess this is home now.

  I look at the street's names writing over these looking old signs. I keep walking and I feel a cold breeze hitting me which makes me shiver and I bury my hands in my pockets. 

  My mother always told me that I never dress correctly when it's cold, but as weird as it is, I like being cold. 
It's somehow making me feel something. 

  I cross a street along with a big crowd of people and I admire how they all seem to exactly know where they are going and what they have to do.
It's like that in all the big cities.

  From where I'm from the streets are empty by 9pm because everyone went to sleep. 
  But I guess things are different in one of the most beautiful city of the world. 

  After a good 30 minutes of walking and some anxiety on how I'm gonna find my way back home I finally found a park where I decided to stop and sit for a bit.
  I walk through one of the bug alleys and admire the well shaped bushes and the smell of flowers. 
  I finally sit on an elegant bench and I mentally scoff on how everything in this city is so cinematographic.
I start roaming in my thoughts and I bring myself back to a couple of hours ago.

2 hours ago 

“You're sure you have everything” my father asks concerned while looking through all the cabinets.
“ Yes dad, don't worry” I try to reassure him.
“ If you need anything, call me. I'll come right away” 
“I know dad” 
“ And you remember where’s the subway station and how to use the card” 
“Don't worry dad, it's not my first rodeo” I joke while patting his arm.
“Yeah, don't worry about it, I'm only a couple of miles away. I'll make sure she has everything she needs” Isaac says coming from the front door. 
  We both turn to him and I give him a grateful smile.
 
“Alright” my father sighs while taking my shoulders in his hands, “I'm so proud of you.”
“Thanks dad” I mumble in our hug.

“So, finally happy? You got what you always wanted.” My mother comes from behind Isaac and I hold myself from rolling my eyes.
 
  I would usually respond in an ironic way with something like “God! I dreamt of that my whole life” with an exaggerated voice tone. But something feels different and for the first time I don't feel like being ironic so I simply shrug my shoulders and turn to my father who winks at me.

  I know why she acts that way. I used to repeat all the time how excited I am to go and leave home to finally be at peace. But now…now it feels weird. 

  I take a deep breath before someone runs into my arms, almost making me fall. I look down and see Finn's arms around my body. I wrap him and hug him tightly. 
“Are you gonna miss me?” I whisper in his ears and he looks up at me with a boyish grin,
“Hell no, I can finally have you room and run in the house without you telling me to stop making noise” 
“Well, you're holding me very tightly for someone who won't miss me” I mock and he gives me a knowing smile. 
“I love you sister” I almost feel my heart break. 
“Hey” I pull his chin up, “ I'm always here, shoot me a text and I'll call right away” he shyly nods and I kiss his forehead.
