(Before u read this, I just have like a reminder or something, try and remember that some characters here are British, so if u have problems of understanding a particular sentence, that's why. Thank you )

Ava's POV

I started packing up after drinking my coffee because of the headache I had gotten after the bloody after-party. Of course, we agreed on a couple of drinks here and there but somehow my mates had some terrible idea of making me drink a whole jug of alcohol in it. Even though I only drank the half of it, they kept on cheering for me because they knew how much I don't drink.

Drinking is actually not for me but it was a well-deserved one so I took me chance and got on with it.

Lying in bed was my sister, Margo, with her boyfriend's t-shirt on. She was so close to not getting home last night because of her perilous ride on a cab. I knew it was a bit tough for her with my decision leaving home but this wasn't actually my home, it was only hers and she loved it here. I mean, who doesn't love London?

The October season was about to end in two weeks and I wanted to feel something very different. So, I decided to move to a different place. Somewhere I wanted peace and some sort of shit that I might enjoy along the way.

She groans as she holds her head with her hand.

"God, I bloody hate drunk drivers." She says as I let out a chuckle to make her look like a fool for her choice of transportation.

"Told you to get another one," I argued lightly as she stands up, only to freshen up for the day.

"How was I supposed to know that? Ask the lad if he was drunk or sober?" She says sarcastically, making me giggle in response.

"I'm sorry, thought you had it all planned." I confess as she brushed her teeth. I knew deep inside she was already mad at my decision. I talked to her about this last week and that was the cause of her drunkness, even though that wasn't actually a real word.

When she got finished, I had the chance to be brave to talk to her about this again. So we can be clear with it already. I don't want to leave her without an actual hug and an actual agreement.

"So," I say as she ties her hair up into a ponytail, "I was kind of thinking about what we talked about yesterday."

"And?" She plays dumb.

"And I want to be clear with it, with you." I confess as she sighs.

We both know what would happen next, she would usually act like mum with things I usually like to do that kind of turns out a bit dangerous.

"I'm actually proud of you deciding with stuff like this." She confessed.

"But?"

"But I'm kind of worried about you as well, I mean Portland? That's a bit far." She says as I smile at her worries for me.

"Someone's worried. I'm not five anymore mum," She punches my arm lightly as I give her a hug out of the blue. I knew we both needed that, and I could feel her warm smile at the crook of her lips. We both knew each other too well than anyone else. Not a soul in this cruel world knew the first thing about me, without her speaking out the truth. And vice versa.

Same goes to his boyfriend, Luke. He actually knew me alot, pretty much because of being Margo's property for six years.

After our little sweet conversation about my decision, she ended up agreeing and I was so happy for that. I always knew she would say yes about this.

10:04 AM.

I checked my phone and saw a notification in twitter that I had a message. I saw Eryn, my soon-to-be-roommate, type in something I would obviously love and I actually did.
