Rachel's P.O.V -
"Honey did you finish packing?" My mom yelled at me from across the house. "Yes mom!" I yell back. "Okay, we're leaving to the airport in about 10 minutes! Get your stuff ready to go in the car!" Oh wow, I did not know that we were leaving that soon. "Alright I will. Which car?" We have like four cars, I don't even know why or how. "In your dad's car!" My dad's car was a nice white Acura that I wanted to be mine. I guess it won't be because of the circumstances. I am moving very far away from home in sweet Alabama. My friends, Grace Peterson and Riley Dolan, and I are moving to LA, California to live with Riley's brothers and pursue our performing dreams. All of us at a very young age of 14, are going to live with 15 almost 16 year old boys out in LA. I know right, weird and scary.
"Alright honey, you ready to go?" Mom asked me. "Yeah, I guess. I can't believe this is actually happening. I'm really going to miss the south." I told her. "I know honey, the south will miss you too. We all will, but this is your dream. Now go and make that dream reality!" My mom and dad were always so supportive. I am very lucky to have parents like them. "Okay then. Let's go!" Dad said with excitement and nerves in his voice. I know why. I have always been his little girl, for I always will be, but someday I will have to grow up. Unfortunately, that day is today.
As we drove to the airport, I kept thinking about everything that could happen, both good and bad. I kept going down the negative path so I put these thoughts away, for today was supposed to be the day my best friends and I have been waiting for, for the past 5 to 6 years. Instead I think about how I will decorate my room. I think about this for the rest of the way to the airport until I get snapped out of my trance by my dad. "We're here, my future rock star!" I practically pull myself out of the car and get my luggage. I will miss that car, surprisingly.
As soon as I step into the lobby of the airport, I'm greeted with squeals from Grace and Riley that I immediately join in on. I know it may not seem like it, but I'm am so excited and ready for LA. "OMG I can't believe this is happening!" Grace squeals with excitement. "Me either! I mean, it felt like just a few days ago we were 9 years old and decided to work our butts off to get here. Now look at us, we made it! Now all we have to do is get the rolls and gigs." We all moan at one of the hardest parts. Getting there is one thing, but actually getting the part or gig, that's what we are all after.
"Flight 87 is now boarding and will be leaving in 15 minutes." we heard the overhead intercom say. "That's our cue." I said looking at my parents, then at my friends. It's going to be hard for all of us to be away from home, but this is our dream, and I'm ready to make this dream reality. "Okay then." my mom says. So I say my goodbyes to Riley's parents and her sister Cameron, Grace's parents, then lastly my parents. We wave back at all of them for the last few seconds that they are visible, then at last we board the plane. About 10 minutes later the plane is taking off, and we are on our way to our future, LA.

Like I said, I'm trying to give you guys as much as I can. I don't want to make you guys feel like I fell off a cliff or something. I wanted to write two parts in one day to get me started. Hope you guys enjoyed it! There is so much more to come.
