Emma's POV

Ah, the gorgeous sound of an alarm clock. You can say that I love my sleep more than anything. I outstretch my hand, feeling about the table for the snooze button. I know exactly where the the snooze button is; sad, right?

"Emma, wake up, honey." My mom enters my room, pulling the duvet away from my body. I groan, digging my face into my pillow. I climbed out of bed, walking into my closet, my fingers touching the fabric as I walk down. "Ah, here we go." I smile to myself as I grab a light colored denim shirt with black shorts. I add some sandals and grab my phone and purse head downstairs.

"Good Morning, pumpkin." My dad kisses my forehead, making me smile. Our maid, Jennifer, brings me into a hug and I return it. "I missed you so much, J." Jennifer nods before handing me my breakfast bowl, fruit. "Oo, yum." She dismisses herself before pressing a kiss to my forehead.

"Honey, we have something to tell you. Your father and I have to go to Africa with help with a new outbreak. You will be staying with one of our well-trusted friends, The Novoa's. Jennifer can take a break, if she pleases, or follow you. However, you will be staying with the Novoa's. Jennifer is upstairs packing your things. Sorry, honey." My mother presses a kiss to my cheek before walking away.

"I love you, pumpkin. We'll be back soon."

Bam, rewritten version complete. I added a new character, Jennifer, because Emma will need someone close to her, you know. Jennifer is not only their maid, but she's one of Emma's close friends. Remember that.

Personal Note: Please refrain from any hurtful comments. Just because you hide behind a screen does not mean your words hurt me. Thank you.

This is the ONLY book of mine's being edited at the moment. Once this book is complete, I will begin working on my other book. :)
