I have changed Sophia's best friend's name from Katy to Emily!! xxxxx

I hope people like it!! xxx

The door swung open and there stood my best friend Emily.

"oh my god!! I just heard about your parents! I am so sorry! What's gonna happen to you? Maybe you could stay with us?" she blurted it all out at once, gasping at the end.

"I'm going with my dads friend to England." I mumbled.

"Pardon, I couldn't hear?" she asked.

I repeated it a bit louder this time but still quite quietly.

"I still can't hear you! Speak up!!"

"I'm going with my dads friend to England!!!" I shouted.

"WHAT????? You can't. What about everything we were going to do together. We will barely ever see each other! I'm coming with you. I don't care what you or my parents say." 

She screeched.

"calm down. You can't just get up and leave everything. What about school and your parents would never let you come to England?" I tried to reason with her.

"nope. I'm coming with you. Where's your dads friend I need to check if he has enough space for me to come as well. No arguing. " she said stubbornly.

I am never going to get her to stay here!!!

She had already raced outside the house just as Mr Smith pulled up outside my house.

He got out of the car and she marched up to him. I didn't see the point of going over so I watched their animated conversation from a distance.

After a few minutes she ran over and gave me a massive hug.

"I'm coming with you!!!!!" she screamed.

She sprinted into the house, km guessing to tell her mum.

I followed her into the kitchen where she was talking to get mum.

I only caught the last sentences of the conversation.

"Ok, you can go but be safe."

"thanks Mum, I will"

Emily gave her mum a massive hug and then noticed me in the doorway, grabbed my hand and yanked me upstairs and to her bedroom.

She pulled her huge suitcase from the top of her wardrobe and did just the same as I had done and just emptied everything into the suitcase.

She ran into her bathroom and just chucked everything into her suitcase.

Now was the tricky bit...

Zipping it shut!!

She looked over at me and we both smirked.

We both jumped landing on top of the suitcase, giggling we took the zips from either side and brought them around the aides to meet up the front.

We both high fived and then attempted to lug the case down the treacherous staircase.

Finally reaching the bottom, Emily ran over to her mum and gave her a kiss and a hug goodbye.

We then wheeled the case outside and put it into the car boot and then clambered in the back seats.

My case had already been loaded into the car.

Mr Smith peered back at us and smiled, he then proceeded to start the car and we drove away from our old lives and into the start of our new ones in England.

We reached the airport and checked in and we only had about 5 minutes to wait until we had to boarded.

Mr smith had managed to get Emily a ticket and so he just swapped seats with her so me and Em could sit next to each other.

It was about a 7 hour flight so we got comfortable and we both got out our ipods, plugged our headphones in and listened to music.

I put on my 1D playlist but after 2 songs I fell into a deep sleep thinking about what England would be like and also my parents.

"Daddy!!" I shouted across the park and the six year old me ran into his comforting arms as he bent down on one knee.

He hugged me tightly and just the way he held me made me feel so safe and like nothing could harm me. 

He stood up and spun me around, me squealing and giggling with excitement.

After a few seconds he placed me back down on the grass and smiled at me with  a wide grin.

I smiled back at him with a toothy smile and my blue eyes twinkled in the sunlight.

As my Dad was about to say something, I was awoken from my dream with a shake.

"We're here! Omg! England looks so amazing! I'm so excited!!" Em excitedly bust out.

I looked out of the window and because of the time difference it was night time, but the bright lights of London lit up everything around us making it feel so alive and awake even though it was about 11:00 in the evening.

I gathered my things together and put it into my bag and then we slowly made our way to get our suitcases.

After having some fun trying to find our suitcases on the conveyer belt, we wheeled them outside following Mr Smith.

We were outside and me and Em were gawping at a shiny, black limosine, when we realised that Mr Smith had also stopped.

A man, who was quite old and wearing a black suit with a bowtie stepped out of the drivers seat and walked over to Mr Smith.

"Good evening Mr smith. Would you like me load your suitcases into the boot?" he asked politely.

"Yes please, Sam." Mr Smith answered.

Sam, as we now knew walked over to us and gestured towards our suitcases.

"Ladies, please could I have your suitcases?" he asked.

Me and Em shared a quick look at each other and then smirked at each other.

"Yeah sure," I answered, "thanks very much."

I knew that Mr Smith was quite well off because of the clothes he was wearing but I didn't realise he would be able to afford a limo and a chauffeur!

I would much rather be at home with my parents, but maybe this wasn't going to be as bad as I thought!

Thanks to everyone who has read up to this point! I love you all!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I know its not that long and it might not be very good or interesting but it was written on a train on my ipod.

Hope people enjoyed it!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
