Heartache (Beau Brooks)

A new beginning

Hellooooo! Thank you for reading and I'd like to hear some feedback of what you think. Any suggestions would help too. Thanks :)

Alisha's POV

I hug my mum tightly and rest my head into the crease of her neck. I'm going to miss her so much, she's been my closest friend since day 1. My dad left us when I was 3, I've secretly looked through photo albums and baby photos, which mum keeps hidden in the cellar for the sake of despondency. I couldn't help it, it was like a drug ,I needed to find out more about him. I researched him, looked him up on every social media that ever existed, nothing, always nothing.

"Bye sweetheart, I'll miss you." I could tell she was crying.

"I'll miss you too, I'll visit often, I promise" She chuckled slightly. I pick up my suitcase and walk out the front door, leaving all the memories of America behind me. I felt guilty leaving my mother, but she wanted me to take the opportunity of a better life in Australia. It was a huge step to take, but honestly it had to be done, I just wish she could come with me.

I jump into the taxi at fault. I look at my house which soon disappeared into the distance, I sigh quietly and rest my head into my hand whilst sliding my phone out of my jeans pockets. I was wearing black skinny jeans which were ripped around my knee area and a floral baggy crop top. I had tanned skin as its quite sunny in America. I didn't have an American accent though, I was English. This was because our house in England was costing a lot of money, so we moved to America for a new beginning . We bought a smaller house (and By 'we' I mean me and my mum) in America . All we had was each other, now I was on my own. However, my best friend Natalie lived in Australia. She was coming to pick me up from the Airport. It was about a 20 hour plane journey ahead, but I was ready for the intake.

----------

I had arrived at Australia after a pretty decent sleep on the plane. I walked out of the airport and a figure in the distance caught my attention immediately. They were waving at me . I looked over my shoulder to see nobody but me standing there. I dragged my suitcase alongside the road heading for the direction of Natalie.

"Heeeeeeey!!" I smiled instantly as I recognised the voice .

"Heeeeeeey! How are you?!" I literally shouted at her as I hugged her blissfully, I then placed my belongings into the boot making sure I didn't break anything.

"I'm good , what about you?" I could tell by the way she was saying it that she was happy to see me. It had been nearly a year.

"Me too," We both got into the car delighted to see each other. We skyped all day when we were apart, Now we are finally together . She turned the radio on and drove me to my new house. As we arrived I gasped in shock as I realised how big it actually was, It looked as if 5 people could live there , It then came to mind that I was going to be lonely, but I shrugged it off. I needed to rest as it was the start of my new school day tomorrow, I'd make more friends hopefully. Maybe a whole lot.
