Airplanes. Of all the things, why did it have to be an airplane. They are always so fucking noisy, and random people sit next to you.

I try to sleep, but the view of the night sky just keeps me from drifting away. The moon is visible from above the white fluffy clouds, and, if you look down, you can see the beautiful ocean waves... Finally, my eyes get heavy, and I fall asleep, as enya's soft voice whispers into my already numb ears.

"Emma! Wake up! We are here!" I hear my mom's voice scream silently into my ears, shaking me.

"I'm up! I'm up!" I throw my hands up in defeat. Why can't I get a decent nap around here once in a while? I think to myself.

~~~

I walk over to baggage claim and reluctantly grab my suit case. Why couldn't my parents tell me we were moving to fucking Ireland BEFORE two days before, I swear, they are idiots, but I still love them...

My parents grab their stuff and we squish into a taxi, heading for the car dealership.

"Yeah, that's the one, the one on blueberry!" My mom gasps as she mentally past herself on the back for knowing where she was going.

I just roll my eyes as I stare deeply out the window, watching all the people walk past, either on their phones, or with some type of alcoholic drink in hand, or both. How could people stay up this late...? Ugh, just thinking about staying up past 11:00 sent shivers up my spine, unlike these people here, I actually enjoyed waking up in a good mood.

The rest of the taxi ride consisted of constant eye-rolling from the driver, and then silence, as we finally pulled up into the dealership.

My dad chooses a silver dodge pick-up truck, while my mom fans over a cream coloured Mercedes-Benz.

They finally settle on the truck, and I fall asleep in the back, whilst my parents sat up front, discussing their future plans, and I just drown them out with the soft whispers of enya. I don't know why, but whenever I listen to her music, it makes me sleepy.

I wake up to the sound of dodge's engine stopping, and I numbly fall out of the truck, and my mouth drops as I see the beautiful mansion towering above me.

I quickly rush up to the door and open it, only to expand my dreams from living in a castle from when I was six, quickly realising that I should have never given up on that dream, so that it would make this moment even more special.

I rush up the stairs only to find the most beautifully designed marble floors, and three gorgeously crafted rooms.

I pick the room nearest the stairs, only because it has a bathroom, and because, well, it's closest to the stairs.

I decided to make my bed and go right to sleep.

~~~

I woke up the next morning finding nothing to do. I was bored out of my skull.

"Try going to the mall, maybe you can find a job or something to buy there," my mom remarks, not looking up from her book.

She has always been pushing me to get a job. It's just that, I haven't found the right job just yet. I really do want to work, but, something I'm good at, but also love. I decide to head to the mall anyways.

As I walk down the long, crowded hallways of the mall, I start to hum. I know it bothers the shït out of some people because I get weird looks, but, I really don't care.
