My Bella

Chapter 3

These last two days went by quickly, and before I knew it I was putting my last minute things in my suitcase. We were going to meet at school at 8. I was really excited and obviously so was everyone. This is a big opportunity for everyone that are accomplishing their dreams.

As I sat down on the floor and started piling my last minute stuff, a soft knock came on the door. And then my mum came in. "Hey honey."

"Hey mum." I said as I got up from the floor and my mum sat on the edge of the bed.

She gestured for me to come and sit on her lap, so I do so. "So what do you feel about this whole trip thing ?"

"Good I guess but I feel kinda nervous." I admitted. "I mean we're talking about Hollywood, mum. The idea scares me even though I'm super excited."

"You're going to be okay honey. Believe in yourself. You're the strongest young girl I know and besides you have your friends there and Kyle. It's not like you're going to be alone." she said.

"Yeah, you're right mum. Thanks." I hugged her.

"You're always welcome my love, and don't forget that I'm here for whatever you want to share with me and if you need any advice." she reminded me as she got up and left my room.

That is what I love the most about mum. She always consider my feelings and never rushed me to say anything. She is basically my idol. I got inspired by her, from fashion to food to feelings to my personality. She knows everything about me. She really raised me well.

With those thoughts in mind, I zipped my suitcase and put my earphones in my bag, my phone charger and went downstairs with my suitcase trailing behind me on the stairs.

For the first time in few months, the house is actually quiet. And that is of course because my brother, Tom, is not here but sleeping at a friend's house. He said goodbye to me yesterday before he strolled his way to his friend's house. And surprisingly I actually cried and he did too. This is the first time that we are going to be apart that long and just the thought of it makes me cry. I mean my brother and I had a really close relationship even though he's super weird. But just calling each other names and telling insults are what bring us this close. I'm really going to miss him.

"Hey dad." I said as I sat on the counter in the kitchen and put my suitcase next to the front door in the living room.

"Hey pumkin." Ah, yes. That is what my dad used to call me when I was like 3 years old. That day, we were going on a family vacation and it happened that we passed next to big pumkins. Like really big ones. My dad stopped the car for us to watch since it was the first time that we see it, then Tom and I got out of the car and headed to the pumkins to touch them. And out of the blue, Tom pushed me to the pumkins and I landed face first on it so it tore open. I got some in my mouth and you'd think that I would just get up and yell at him but instead I just kept eating it because I liked it. We heard people yell at us from afar so Tom and I ran to the car while my mum said sorry to these guys but not before getting some. Once we were back in the car, I ate all the pumkin.

"When are you leaving ?" he asked as he sat down on a chair.

"Umm," I said as I looked at my watch. "I think Kyle should be here any second."

"Great honey, I'm so proud of. It is a great opportunity that will help you to be more independent you know."

"Yeah, I know dad." I said as I played with my hair. It is habit when I get nervous.

"But," he started." That doesn't mean that you won't be my little girl anymore." he said as he opened his arms for me to hug him.

"I love you dad." I told truthfully as he enveloped me in his arms. Trust me, there is nothing more beautiful than a hug from people you love. It just keeps you warm and gives confidence. Just then, I heard a honk of a car. It must be Kyle.

"And this is my cue to leave." I told him and get out of the hug. I grabbed my suitcase, my bag and opened the front door. Man, I'm going to miss my house.

"Bye mum. Bye dad." I told them and hugged for the last time. I walked out of the door and heard my mum and dad say in unison." Be careful."

"Kay." I responded over my shoulder and opened the door to the passenger seat of Kyle's car.

"Hey babe." He told me and pecked me on the lips. He started the engine and started to head to school.

"Hey, so you excited ?" I asked.

"Like hell I am." he said and sped the car enthusiasmly.

"Woah ! Okay I believe you. No need to get us dead ." I told him wide eyed.

"Sorry." he looked at me briefly before getting his eyes back on the road. "Just uh got excited there."

I giggled at him. I'm dating an idiot, seriously. After that the ride was spent in a comfortable silence as the two of us were lost in our own mind.

We pulled in the parking of the school and got out to see the students crowded around the bus that will take us to the airport. Their suitcases were put in a truck and of course it will follow us to the airport. Kyle and I strode our way to the truck. They signed our names on the paper to confirm that we're here and took the suitcases from us. I turned around to see where are my two bestfriends and I wish I didn't.

Lexi was punching a girl square in the face. Blood started flowing out of her nose and she started crying as her friends tried to comfort her and sent glares at Lexi's direction.

Yeah this is going to be a LONG day, I sighed and went to save my friend from getting in trouble.
