Chapter 1
"Aria, Aria, Aria darling, please come down stairs, you can't stay in your dark room all the time. Please come out so we can talk. Don't lock yourself in that damn room."My dad screams up to me from down stairs. What could he possibly want to talk about. He's a drunk and my so called mother is no better! She left me when I was 5 years old! So you tell me what he could possibly have to say to me. I know I shouldn't take out all my hate towards my 'mother' out on him because he's a good guy, which is actually true.He only drinks because he believes he is a crap father when he's not. He has raised me by himself and the least I could do is show him how much I appreciate him. But I just can't. I can't move out of the same spot I have been sitting in for the past 3hours. My father always tries to get me to call my 'mother' to build a close relationship with her but why should I?She left me and now she's got a rich new boyfriend (who is my age). Also She never makes the effort to talk to me so why should I try to talk to her?
"Fine! I'll come down." I say whilst stomping down the wooden stair case to find my dad who is sitting up straight on the kitchen chairs waiting for the kettle to stop whistling.
"Aria? Is that you?" I hear my dad say in a shocked tone. As I'm about to speak i feel him hug me tightly. He only ever does this if he has bad news. Oh no is he leaving me? He can't be. I hope he isn't. All I can think of the worst possible things. Well I have alot of reasons to think of the worst as I am a 19 year old girl from Dublin in Ireland.
"Hunny, I really need to talk to you." My dad whispers just so I can hear him. I take a seat next to him and rest my shaking hands on his. "Well hunny, I know you might not want to hear this and I know your going to need time to process this but you haven't gave me much choice lately so I have come to a conclusion with your mum." The minute he says mum I wish I never came down those stairs. She doesn't have the right to call herself my mum. What the hell has she done for me?! Yeah she's gave birth to me but that's it she left me with my dad and he had 4 jobs at once just put food on the table so how can he sit hear saying she is my mother! Oh wait I believe he still loves that women after everything she did!" Sorry I mean Lisa." It was just like he could read my mind. "Well anyway she- I mean we have decided for you to go and live in England with your mother and her boyfriend. I know you might not want to go but you don't have much choice. You have made horrible mistakes here and this is your chance to get a new start. I know you want one after what you did." How dare he bring up what I did and use it as a weapon to get me to leave the country! Yes I know what I did was a mistake and I feel guilty for it but that doesn't mean he should rub it in my face."Also your mum, I mean Lisa has paid for your plane ticket and your university fee! She even said you can go and live with her. So what do you say?" What do I say is he actually having a laugh? He has to be he can't just think I'm going to move in with the women I barley know? Just so she can make up some crappy lie about why she left me and how much of a huge mistake it was! So she can paint a big lie in front of her boyfriends eyes and make him believe she is mother of the year! No it isn't happening. I am not buying any of her crap. She can do what she likes with her life as long as it doesn't involve me. "I will move there. But I am not staying in that house with her. But you can come with me right? You don't expect me to move without you right?" I ask knowing the answer. I'm to much for him I know I am. "Aria, don't sound so sad about it. I'm always here no matter what. You leave tomorrow after noon okay?." Tomorrow after noon. That's so quick. I've always wanted to go to university in England but I don't want to leave my dad or even see my known to be mother.
The next day!
I start to pack my never ending bedroom (as much as I can take). Oh wait. I need to say goodbye to Dylan. We've been through so much together and I can't leave without saying good bye it would kill me let alone him.
I grab my keys of the chestnut brown cabinet and ran outside just before I get 100 questions from an over protective dad. My phone starts to vibrate in my pocket over 50 times and as I reach in to grab it I see Dylan smiling and waving across the narrow street. I start to walk gradually getting faster he starts to run even faster and we glide into each other's arms. That's what would happen if it was a freaking fairy tale but it's not. I see him and he see's me. I shout,"hurry up I have to go soon!" So he scurries along the pavement. As i reach for a hug he leans in for a kiss. Oh no this couldn't get anymore awkward. Oh well stuff it I'll kiss him. "Dylan I have something to tell you." I say nervously to Dylan. "Okay? What is it? Your not dying are you?" He says concerned. "No! Nothing like that. I'm fine really but I'm moving to England and my dad wants me to live with devil bitch herself."(that's the nick-name me and Dylan thought of for my 'mother').A tear strikes down his face and he swears there is something in his eye. He hugs me goodbye and doesn't look back. I ran home as fast as I can. I ended up curling up in my duvet trying to hide from this unfair world. I would tell you about mine and Dylan's 'relationship' but there is nothing to tell. We have been brought up together and he is my safe haven. "Aria! Time to go!" My dad breaks me from my unforgiving thoughts. I grasp the handle of my cheap, but well put together back pack and walk towards the stairs. Before I know it I'm at the airport. Am I ready to say goodbye to my dad? Well I have to be now. It is a 3hour flight. I hug him and he tells me I'm his baby girl, his little bird who he just has to let fly. Tears flow down my face and he's crying loudly as we say our last goodbyes. As I am about to board the plane I hear someone scream my name. "ARIA,ARIA PLEASE WAIT!" The mysterious voice shouts. As I'm about to give the lady my ticket an arm grabs me. Who is it? Who could it be?

My note
(I tried to leave it on a cliff hanger but I'm not sure if this book will be good but I hope you like the plot at the end of the book. It will be a fan fiction which i am enjoying writing but I will try to update everyday if not at least twice a week maybe. As I am really busy. Hope you enjoyed this chapter!)
