Uh, we have to go go the airport. That's basically one of the worst parts of moving to another state. I hate airplanes. They are so small and weird and they make you get a weird feeling that you're going to die. The positive part is that our flight lasts for only two hours so I will just listen to all of the songs on my phone and then, we'll be there.
~2,5 hours later~
Aaand we're officially in Ohio. It doesn't seem that bad. It actually seems very beautiful and quiet. I like that. We're heading to our new house. It is a relatively big, two floored house with a nice garder, and it is next to a park. Sounds exciting. The previous house back in Texas was an apartment.
My room is pretty big, it already has some furnitures on like a really comfy bed and a big closet. It also has a huge mirror wall which is great but creeps me out a bit.
The view from the small balcony out of my bedroom isn't something special. Just our garden and our neighbors' house, which seems pretty big and luxurious. They even have a pool in their garden.
"Do you like your room, little girl?" I heard my brother saying as he was standing on the door.
"It's great, I like everything except for that mirror wall. It is kind of creepy"
I replied.
"Well, you will get used to it. It is just a simple mirror! Good luck with unpacking." He always tries to be as positive as possible. And I will do the same from now on.
I went to the balcony again, I have my dog in my arms and I'm just looking at our neighbors' house. It is hard not to look at it. It is the most luxurious house around here! It looks like a palace.
I saw a guy. He looks pretty handsome. He is tall and he has black longish hair. That's the only thing I can see from here. It looks like he is going to swim in the pool for a while. He took his shirt off and I am just standing here looking at his perfect body and his amazing black hair and everything else. Aaand he just looked at me and smiled. And he probably thinks I am a pathetic creep now. Yay me. I guess I won't be using this balcony for a while.
I got in so that I avoid unwanted eye contact with my incredibly adorable neighbor again.
I have to start unpacking and then I will probably go for a walk in the neighborhood. This is not going to be easy. Unpacking will last forever and I have no one to help me or at least make it fun. But it's like going to school. I have to do it. And even if it seems like an endless torture, it doesn't last forever.
-2 and a half hours later-
I'm finally done, now I can go for a walk. It is pretty dark outside so I don't think I need to wear anything fancy and put makeup on. I don't know anyone anyway.
"Mom I'm going for a walk!" I yelled at her without knowing where she might be.
She didn't hear me but I am going anyway. I just hope I don't get lost.
My neighborhood seems pretty boring. It is just a bunch of houses, and a huge forest. I decided to go in the forest. I will probably regret it later, but whatever. Life is about taking risks. And going into a huge forest at night was definitely a risk.
I can't see anything. I opened my bag to find my phone so that I can use the flashlight but I can't find it anywhere. I probably didn't take it with me. Or lost it somewhere on the streets. In this case, I wish I just didn't take it with me. I decided to just keep walking although this forest seems like an endless dark hole, on my way to my funeral. I am pretty scared. I am thinking of screaming for help because I'm lost but I don't think anyone will hear me. Only idiots would walk into the forest in the middle of the night. Well.. idiots. I do not think I am the only idiot in this town. So it's worth the try.
"Is anyone here?" I raised my voice as I was repeating myself again and again.
"I'm lost, can anyone please help me get out of this goddamn forest?" This time I literally screamed. But nothing happened. Nobody heard me. So I am just standing there, I burst into tears not knowing what to do or where to go. I cannot see anything. Not even the street lights, I am in the middle of the forest and it terrifies me. "Please, help me go home" I said crying as if somebody was there. I sounded like a 10 year old girl who needs her mom, but I really wanted to go home. I am afraid of the dark. I feel blind and helpless. I keep crying. I don't even know the reason I am crying. Nothing ever got better by crying.
"Do you need help?" I heard someone saying. I couldn't see his face but it sounded like a teenage boy. So I think I will trust him. It seems like the only solution right now.
"Yes, please. I am new here and I got lost in this forest, can you please help me get out of here?" I whispered. I couldn't speak properly anyway. My throat was hurting from screaming for help.
"Of course I will help you. Hold my hand, and we will get out of here. But we have to leave now, otherwise bad things are about to happen." He said with a very deep voice and held my hand tightly.
"What do you mean? What is going to happen? Why are you also here in the middle of the night? Did you hear me? Please, answer me. I'm confused and scared." I didn't know what he was talking about and that drove me crazy.
"I will explain everything. But we have to run out of here now. You can trust me, I am here to help." He said. I can feel he is anxious. And I really need an explanation when we get out of here and I can properly see who I am with.
