I woke up with a smile on my face, knowing that it's probably the last time I'll see this place. I have to admit that I will miss everyone minus my parents and Michael, but I have to get back to work. I'm just glad that I pay yearly for my house instead of monthly. I groggily get up from my plush bed and head to my closet to pack and pick out my outfit for the day. I actually didn't bring anything with besides for the clothes on my back, but a few cute dresses and pieces of jewelry won't be missed, right?

After I finished packing my small black suitcase, I headed into the shower. Once I got out of the steamy shower, I brushed my teeth and combed through my curly locks. Then I stepped into my clothes. I chose to wear the outfit Lucy gave me, with the green shorts, aqua tank, and the liquid like vest. I topped it off with the gold chain head piece. I didn't have to worry about what my parents would think because they left last night for the resort. After that, I stepped out of the bathroom and grabbed my suitcase, leaving behind my jacket. It was now August, and burning hot. Then, I opened the door, bag in hand, and headed downstairs to wait for Mest.

Once I got downstairs, I went into the main parlor and sat down on the plush blue couch. After I got situated, I took out my headphones and turned to my rock and roll playlist to past the time. Little did I know, I actually fell asleep. Cause I awoke to Larissa shaking me furiously.

"Amelia!" She yelled. "Huh? What's going on?" I asked in a groggy voice. "Doranbolt! He's outside waiting for you!" She said after face palming. After hearing that, I shot up, almost head butting my friend. "Oh! Yeah!" I say as I scramble to take off my headphones and get up. "Well, I uh, should be going. Bye Larissa" I said as I hugged my friend tightly. " you're acting like you're not coming back. Is everything ok?" She asked nervously. I just looked at her, a rueful smile on my lips, as my eyes gave her the answer. She just stared back at me, the same sad look on her pale features.

"Be careful" she advised as she led me to the door. "I will" I said as I hugged her. She then opened the door. I slowly walked out of the house. Before I went down the marble stairs, I turned around and gave my friend one last smile, in which she returned. Then, I slowly headed down the stairs, to the car where Mest was waiting. He jumped out of the driver side to help me in. He gently opened the back door and set my suitcase in one of the back seats. Then, he closed that door and opened the one leading to the passenger seat. "My lady" he joked as he helped me into the car. "Why thank you good sir" I smirked. Then he ran to the other side and hopped in.

I felt his eyes study me as I looked out the window. "You ok?" He asked carefully. I nodded. "Yeah. Just get me away from here" I said softly as I turned to him. He just gave me a sad smile. " you ready to go home Amelia?" He asked, his face lighting up a bit. " you have no idea Mest" I replied, a grin creeping onto my lips. "Let's go" he said. Then, he put the car in drive and sped away, I didn't look back.

After six full hours of driving, we finally arrived at Era. I look over to Amelia's peaceful sleeping state, a smile on my lips. "Hey, Amelia? We are here." I say softly, trying not to scare her. "Uhhhhh......" She groaned. But soon, her ocean eyes fluttered open. "Hey Mest. How long was I out?" She said groggily as she sat up. "About half the ride" I answered. "Where are we? This isn't Magnolia. " she said, getting a little worried. "Don't worry. We are in Era. This is just to get everything finalized. They'll also be asking you a few questions about your parents, just to make sure all the facts are straight. We will only be here for a day or two. Don't worry about it." I answered calmly. "Oh. We let's go!" She exclaimed as she opened the door. "SWEET FREEDOM!! YAY!" She yelled as she got out of the car, making me laugh.
