Blue

III

My room is filled with boxes, Aunt green suggested we pack everything up in the moving truck and stay at a hotel for the night.
I'm really going to miss this house and my new best friends Dan and Phil.

Dan writes on a piece of paper and hands it to me.
Well this is it. I'll message and ring you everyday and we'll try to learn as much sign language as we can, so when we come and visit you, I love youuu -Dan

A few giggles escaped my lips and then I can feel the tears building up.
Stay strong Blue..don't cry.
I hug both of them signing a 'I love you' to each of them, they smile returning the gesture..Dan sniffling while Phil comforting him.
I hug them one last time before getting in the car.
I wave a goodbye and look at their faces one more time as we Start to drive off.
it's hard to believe that by tomoroww night we'll be in New York.

"Flight 180 is now taking off"
Aunt Green taps my shoulder, I grab my bag since my suitcases were already on the plane.
We get on the plane and take our seats, I called the window seat and took out my book. "The Fault in our stars" by my one and only favorite author John Green.
I turned my phone on airplane mode, got comfy and started reading...until an hour later I fell asleep.

I wake up to someone lightly shaking me. I yawn and rub my eyes..i look at the window and I see tall buildings everywhere. The statue of liberty, I spot the 9/11 memorial and lots of buildings scattering the big piece of land. I get my phone out and take a few pictures of the sight, posting one of them on Instagram and Twitter captioning it "Finally here..the big apple". Even though I wasn't happy about moving from Georgia all the way to New York, I was a bit excited. I mean what's the worst that can happen? trip down some stairs, get food poisoning or maybe fall madly in love with someone?..yeah. ok.

After retrieving our luggage, a middle aged small brunette makes her way over to us in her 5 inch heels and bulky sunglasses. "Amanda! so great to see you...how was the flight?" she reaches pulls my aunt into a hug, "and Blue.." I smile...not knowing who this weird lady is. I sign to my aunt "Who is she?" my aunt smiles and says that her name is Mary. I nod and turn to my luggage, I just want to get out of here. We get on this luxurious black Mercedes, guessing its Mary's vehicle. While my aunt and Mary are having there little bonding session, I look out the car window seeing couples, kids with their parent or parents, teenagers and many many business people walking the streets of New York.

"And were here!" Mary announces while parking. I get out of the car and get my belongings while following Aunt Green and her friend up the stairs to the apartment.
"Wow, Blue...don't you like it?"
My eyes wonder around the new place, the walls are made out of brick and theres windows...everywhere, the weird thing about this place is it's already furnished.
"How come the place already has furniture?"
"The family that onced lived here sold their furniture to this place in dedication to their son"
"Why?"
"I'm not sure...Thier son got cancer or something like that, they thought it would be...nice to donate something, thier son really loved this house"
Mary says to me with a smile planted on her lips.
"Honey, why don't you go find a room?" My aunt signs before turning to Mary again.

I walk up up the stairs finding 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms...Sweet my own bathroom. I choose a room that seems decent, I put my things down on the floor and look around, the bed is pretty big and very comfy.
The light baby blue paint on the walls look a little old and chipped, the floors don't have carpet and well atleast the closet is big.
In the corner of my eye I see something popping out from underneath the bed, I crouch down and look under...a picture?.
I grab it and stand up, I blow the tiny bits of dust off of it and examined it..its a picture of a curly haired boy, tall and well...very very cute and a girl in front of him him, smiling. They both are dressed up with his arms wrapped around her waist with her leaning into him. Weird.
I sigh and put the picture on the nightstand, looking at it one last time before making my way downstairs, meeting Aunt Green on my way down.
"I just got call from the hospital, I'm going to have to leave for this night shift, plus theres a staff party" I sigh and nod.
"But..my boss wants to meet you! So I get to take you with me! Isnt that exciting?!" I shake my head, disagreeing to this stupid question.

She before signing an
"I love you" before getting her purse and backpack, blowing a kiss back to me before leaving the apartment.
