I'm Keira Bradley, and I desperately needed to go home. I used to live in London, but my parents decided to move us all the way to America because of the educational and career "opportunities". I understand that they were just trying to better our future, but my brother Josh and I knew that, no matter what, we would end up going back home. Back to our friends, back to our original lives. Even if that meant not having our parents around as much anymore.

We moved when I was around fourteen, so I had already made quite a bit of friends that I had planned on going to high school with, but that didn't happen. Instead I was moved to Denver, Colorado, which absolutely sucked because if we were moving, at least I would hope it was to a warmer climate. But no, I was stuck here until Uni. I went to a traditional high school where I had practically no friends, and my brother and I got bullied and made fun of for our accents and such.

I remember Josh telling me that once we had a choice for University that we had to go back to the UK, and we kept that promise until we had to follow through with it. But there was a problem with our plan. Josh being a few months older than me, he made a different age requirement for high school, which meant he would get out of here quicker than me. Now unfortunately, he graduated a year ago. And it got harder and harder to deal with the bullying and living around our awful community, so I started to lose hope. Josh on the other hand, met up with a group of old friends and started making money off of the internet.

Josh was internet famous on a website called 'YouTube' and had decided to use another name instead of Bradley : Zerkaa. He was off with hundreds of subscribers almost instantly and had the best group of friends ever and I couldn't me more jealous. I tried YouTube, but realized that it was a waste of my time because I couldn't keep up with the recording and everything while trying to keep up my grades. So I just kind of gave up knowing that I needed almost perfect grades to get out of here.

It was graduation time, and I was devastated that Josh couldn't be here. Although I had gotten a call from him earlier, to make sure that I was sticking with the plan. And, of course I was, all I have ever wanted was to leave the hell-hole I was put into. I would love to leave as soon as possible, but there were more problems that had come up. I didn't have the kind of money that Josh had when he left, so I couldn't afford to buy a plane ticket. Also, I had no where that I was planning on living. But luckily, Josh came through and was living with his friends, and that they had an extra room. And of course I took the offer. Getting to spend extra time with my brother was the best option possible. But I was still stuck in a job here in America so I could get a bloody plane ticket. But I didn't know how much more of it I could take.
