If only I was there

Chapter 2

Claire and Connor were in the front lawn as I put my last box in the trunk. "Bye Megan, i love you" Claire said as she hugged me for so long. She keeps repeating the same words and i keep repeating the same words as a reply "i love you too". After the hug session with Claire finally ended, Connor hugged me and whispered "Finally you're gone". I replied "No, you're gone".

I got in my car and start the engine. I waved bye to Claire and blow kisses through the window. I'm going to miss her so much but not Connor though. I left a letter for them, thanking and apologizing for everything through out the years. Claire was bailing her eyes out and Connor just comfort her by stroking little circles at her back. Even though I love Claire, nothing is holding me back from moving to New York.

New York is a good 3 hour drive. A lot of beautiful sceneries were there along the way and I've met sweet new people. Like the guy at the gas station. Of course, a ying must have a yang. If there's good there's bad. Traffic jams, annoying loud music listeners and slow drivers. But I finally arrived at my new apartment. A letter was taped on my door and it wrote "hi Megan! we hope you'll enjoy your stay with us, NY residence :)".

The apartment is humongous . Before unpacking and giving myself a little tour, I searched the bathroom because i really need to pee. I looked myself in the mirror and i saw a walking zombie. My dark circles were obvious, my clothes were stained with ketchup or boogers and my hair was messy as a bird's nest. I didn't care much because I didn't have anyone to impress.

After doing my bussiness in the toilet, i gave myself a little tour. There's 3 rooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, 3 bathrooms and a big balcony. I made the smallest room as the storage room, the medium the bedroom and the largest room my study room. Surprisingly, i spend most of my time in the study room than my bedroom. The apartment is actually more suitable for a family of six.

I put my long hair into a high ponytail and change my jeans into my favorite pair of sweatpants. I started to unpack my stuff when suddenly the bell rang. I opened the door to see a beautiful blonde teenage girl standing by my doorstep. "Hi, you must be the new neighbor. My name is Stella Johson" she said as her perfect white teeth assemble in a straight line. "Hi I'm Megan."

"Well, Megan. You will love New York especially the malls here. Everything new always comes here first. By the way, the sweater you're wearing now is cute but so last year." she said and immediately went to my typical teenage girl list. I told her thank you for the information and she flashes her gorgeous smile. I have to admit, she is drop dead gorgeous. She can be a model with those baby blue eyes.

Stella told me about schools, movie previews and concerts. She asked me stuff like my favorite bands, movies and brands. I wish i can be outgoing as her and make friends but i can't and I won't let it happen. Relationships can lead to betrayal and heartbreaks. The only relationship that I care is Rachel and i. "Hey babe.." a guy pops out from the door behind Stella and I made eye contact with those big brown eyes that i recognize so much. I slammed my door shut and can't believe that my neighbor is the guy that burned my trust into ashes years ago. Dane.
