"You can go inside the door is unlocked" Luke says, walking up behind me "Can I just stay out here, give me a second" I say sitting down on the step I look at him and he just nods and walks inside with my bags. But the truth is I don't need a second, I need more like hours I don't want to walk inside I'm scared.

What if I like it here?
What if they hate me?
What if I'm to quite or they think I'm weird.

I just take out my earphones and put them in, pressed play, and stared into the neighbourhood as car by care past and the people with their dogs or pushing a pram walk past.

After 2 hours or what felt more like 2 minutes had passed I jumped from a soft touch on my shoulder I slightly turned to see a lady with blond hair standing their, I just slowly turned back and looked at the dead road. She didn't go away she sat down next to me, so I looked at her and she just smiled.
"Hi" she said but I could barely hear her, so I take out an earphone and say hi back "I'm Liz" she says sounding really happy "I'm Ivy" I say still felling a little uncomfortable and I think she can sense that.

"I know this might be weird for you but it's weird for me as well trust me" she says still smiling "Do you want to come inside?" she adds on "I should really do that shouldn't I" I say. She stood up than held out her hand I grabbed it and she helped me up "Thanks" I mumbled taking both my earphones out she held open the door for me to walk in I did and I just stood there waiting for her.

"Ok do you want me to show you around" she asks "That would be nice thanks" I say a little louder "Ok well this is the kitchen and the lounge room and the dinning room" she was telling me as we go through the rooms "This is Luke's room and this is well your room for the night and Luke put your bags on the bed" she says opening the door..."Sorry it's pretty plane but there wasn't much I could do on such short notice" she explains

"That's ok" I say walking into the bare room with only a bed, 1 bedside table with a lamp on it and a chest of draws.
"You're welcome by the way" Luke says leaning against the door frame "Thanks" I say smiling at him
"Well we should go leave her to be" Liz says pulling Luke by the arm and closing the door

A sat myself down on the end of the bed and get my phone out, there were 5 miss calls and 10 messages both of them from Troian asking where I was.
I just message her saying I am at Luke's house and letting her know I got here safe. I then chucked my phone onto the bed, stood up, opened my bag, grabbed out a photo of me and my dad and put it in the bedside table
Knock knock

"Come in" I say "Ok well mum said dinners ready if you want to come down" Luke says while opening the door "Ok" I say getting of the bed and following him out of the room

I walk into the kitchen get my food and then walk into the dining room to sit down and eat well at least try to. I just sit here moving the food around with my fork until Liz broke the silence "So Ivy what type of stuff do you do at school?" "Well I have been doing media studies and photography," I say finally getting some food on my fork and putting it in my mouth "Do you like it?" Liz asked "Yeah I like photography I think it's something I want to do but I don't really go to school much" I reply,

"Why's that?" Luke asks "Oh I don't really want to say sorry" I say looking down at my food "Don't worry... so what do you do for fun?" he asks, "I don't really do fun" I answer, "What do you mean?" "Well my idea of fun is sitting in my room watching a movie with the lights off"
"Well I could show you what my fun is we should do something tomorrow" he says "Like what?" "Well you should watch my band play well not really play just rehearse " he explains "Oh that's cool you're in a band...what's your bands name?" I ask "Well it's still a work in progress so we haven't come up with one yet" he says
"Oh ok cool" I say

Half and hour later

"Are you finished with your food?" Liz asked "Yes thank you" I say, she walked around, picked my plate up and took it into the kitchen "You can leave the table" she yells from the kitchen so I get up, walk to my room and lay down on the bed when I hear a knock, "Who is it?" I ask "It's Luke" "Come in" I say. So he walks in and plonks himself on the end of the bed. I sit up and lean against the bed head.

"So how are you felling about this whole thing?" Luke asks me "Well it's not ideal" I say "Whys that?" he says, "Well just think about it... My oh sorry our dad has not even been dead for a week and I'm staying the night over a strangers house... no offence" I spoke back "Yeah true I would probably feel the same if I was you... I really hope you are still happy to come and watch my band I know it's only downstairs but I would really like you to meet them" "Um well I will see how I'm feeling, I don't want to go home to late" I say

"Well I was... Never mind" he starts to say something but stopped "What where you going to say?" "Never mind well bye," he says getting up and closing the door on the way out.
