"Okay, Mia this where we depart!" I said to her as we stood upon my last porch step.

"I know I'm gonna miss you! Come to London and visit! Get out of Manchester!"

"Yeah as long as Jason isn't around."

"Trust me honey after the way Marc acted tonight I won't be calling him even if he does have a delicious looking-"

"You need help! Now get off my front porch before the neighbors call about a crazy sex maniac!"

"Oh hush! But I love you and you will call me. No more hiding. You've only just moved here and you need to get comfortable, promise me you'll go out?" She pleaded with me I could see her beg-eyed look.

"Yes, I will. I promise."

I waved goodbye and saw Mia get into her 2009 Jeep Wrangler. And drove honking her horn at me.

I waved, unlocked my door and stepped inside. Locking my door behind me.

I was a bit glad the night was over.Every chance Jason got he would whisper in my ear...

"Baby, I miss you. Let me make it up to you."

"You look beautiful. I wish I could take you home and lay you in my sheets."

"You miss me? I know you do, come home to daddy."

"Lena, you know how good I can you feel. I'd love to hear your lips moan my name, again."

He was a pig. Swine. I can't believe I was ever even involved with someone like that. Can't believe I gave something so dear to my heart to an ass like that. But I'm young and naive.

But now I was safe. In the comforts of my own cozy two bedroom apartment.

As I stepped in, I notice some boxes laying around still, and it brought back the reason I was here in the first place.

I moved to Manchester from the states about five-to-six months ago.

Living in the UK wasn't really my doing. I was forced if you say. My mother and sisters, Scarlett & Lily, we're victims of a fatal car crash. When I got the phone call, I was at home feeling sick not wanting to go the movies with them. I couldn't bear the news, my world was paused and the disc was being scratched over and over again.

The most terrible part about it, if there is one. The doctors told me my sisters would live. But by night, they were announced dead.

I had to sell the house I grew up in. Everything I couldn't move across country. Everything I knew and loved was being taken away. My mothers plantation which used to be broken down to the bone but with ninteen years hard work it was something out of a movie but now it was gone. Sold to a young couple with a few little chidlren of their own. The porch that wrapped around the front of the house. The stained glass windows that I used to read out of where the window seat would lay. Our family kitchen which held memories of each and every Christmas and Thanksgiving. It was gone. I thought that house would go to Scarlett, her and her fiancé would raise the babies, and now all that planned life for all my family was just now a mere memory.

I had no choice but to move. To the UK, Mia is my cousin and our family is based throughout Europe. Ranging from Italy,England, Scottland, and Greece. I only knew my mothers side of the family. Many reasons for it. So it was either Mia who is around my age, 20, she's young, vibrant, loud, confindent. Something I needed. Or my grandparents who lived in Scottland. Who we're 65 & 71. Not my cup of tea.

I did like it here. But the weather was a bit dramatic, rain, sunshine, rain, rain, rain, thunder all it did was be an emotional mess the weather. Not sunny like Georgia's weather. My tan had faded long ago, hell I looked like a ghost by now. But I still had my long brown wavy hair, which was a mess most of the time. I still had my bright green eyes. I still had my long curvy legs. But I still didn't have a place to call home on the holidays, depsite my cousin and her father and nor did I have a mother. One thing I wanted.

Mia's words played over in my head "Someone will take the pain away...."

But who?
