In Your Heart

Chapter 1 -- New Road

Evangeline's POV:

" Honey, are you ready?" Anna, my foster mom asked from my bedroom door.

I look back one more time, where Emmett and I used to play my favorite board games. When we used to wrestle and laugh until our stomachs felt like 6 packs. My walls were always bright and new but now they turned dull, worned, faded in color as if it knew he wasn't here anymore. I look towards my empty, brown desk that has our initials inside the top drawer. Marathons of Chuck, or F.R.I.E.N.D.S.. I can still hear the laughter, smell the buttery popcorn and his favorite meat lovers pizza. I was leaving this all behind for what he encouraged me to do, he said to follow my dreams and follow the things that make me happy, I would've followed him until the end of time. I take it all in, just before I leave to a new road.

"Yeah, I'm ready." I say while grabbing my luggage and walking out my bedroom door.

My Foster Dad, Vince, grabbed my luggage and put it in the trunk of our minivan for me. He hugs me tightly, just like if his very own daughter was going away. I've been to more than 15 foster homes where they either treated me like a dog, abused me, stole from me, and made me feel as if I will never find a home. But Anneliese and Vince have been the greatest miracle. They took me in with happiness, I didn't trust them then but over time I did, I love them because they've supported me and took me in as one of their own.

Vince kisses my forehead, and Anna does the same. We aren't even at the airport, but I guess they want as many hugs and kisses till it's time to go. We jump in the "coolest minivan ever" it's what Emmett used to call it, and we drove away from the house of memories, except one, I was bringing one of the memories with me the old, little, Brown box.

" Are you excited sweetie?" Anna says with excitement.

I giggle cause she's rarely grumpy, she's always laughing and energetic.
"Yeah." I lie, to make them happy.
 
" College is always the most funnest time in your life, you will have tons of friends and maybe even meet a cute guy." She said with joy and with a wink at the end.

"Have fun there, but be an adult, and don't take any pills from anyone if you know what I mean." Vince said in his macho dad voice.
" The only pills I will be taking is smarties." I say.

They both laugh hysterically. The conversation continues all the way to the Great Falls Airport. We say our goodbyes, and our goodbye hugs and kisses.

Vince says one last thing that I will never forget.
"Live your new journey to your fullest, there is many possibilities unless you try. I know you've been depressed for a year now, I'm not a man who can be fooled. I know how you feel Evangeline, and I want you to remember that Anna and I love you dearly, you are always welcomed back if you need a family to lean on."

I'm utterly, shocked. I look him in the eyes with my teary eyes and hug him .

I whisper, " Thank you."

" Last call for Flight 24 , to Seattle, Washington."

" I better go before I miss my flight. I love you two." I say walking away to get to my plane.
 

After, I settled into my seat I looked out the window and mentally said goodbye to Emmett. The most scariest part about flying in a airplane by yourself is you never know who you will sit by. So each time a woman with a child walks past my seat, my heart is a little relieved. I actually want some peace and quiet for the next 5 hours. I'm about to be really excited I got a seat to myself, when this guy with flushed red cheeks, and winded hair as if he were running, showed up panting and sat down next to me.

"Oh god. Never in my life traveling again! Better yet getting off my ass, Its not my fault I love sleeping in." He said talking to himself... I think.
I look at him wide eyed, kinda freaked about how uncanny this is to meet a person. He looks at me with dark brown eyes, and smirks like he found something to tease.

" uh.. You were talking to me?" I say uncertain.

"Well yes darling who else? " He said very nonchalant.

"It could be that lady right over there." I nod toward to.
He scoots a seat closer to me and gently moves a piece of hair out of my face.
"My name is Myles, and yours darling?"

Well this is going to be such an extraordinary time. Emmett I wish you were here.
