Lydia's P.O.V

"Hey guys, it's Lydia here!" I shout into the camera, talking to my 2.6 million subscribers.

"I have an announcement to make! I just recently turned 18 about two months ago, this means I am officially an adult. But you already knew that... Anyway, I've spent the past two months doing some very exciting apartment searching! So, it's official. Due to being an adult and doing adult things, I'm officially moving out of my parent's house in a week!" My grin widens and I continue talking.

"I'm not just moving house, I'm moving city too. I'm moving from my small town to the big city of London, where my best friend Zoe lives with her boyfriend Alfie! But I haven't told her this yet so I'm going to quickly facetime her, so you can all see her reaction." I take my phone from beside my bed and dial Zoe's facetime number. I've used a screen recorder too, so my viewers can see her reaction.

She picks up almost instantly. Her face pops up, and Nala sits on her lap.

Zoe Lydia

"Hello Lydia, long time no talk."

"Hey, Zozo. I have something very exciting to tell you."

"Oh, what is it?!"

"I've found an apartment and I'm moving to London in a week!"

Zoe squeals loudly, causing Nala to get a fright and jump off her lap.

"One week! Aw Lyds, that's so exciting babe!"

"I know, Zo, I'm so excited. Anyway, I've got to go finish filming my video and packing. I'll see you in a week!"

"Eek! See you, Lydia."

I blow her a kiss and end the call.

"So that's my exciting news! Anyway, I've got to go pack my stuff up. I'll see y'all next week in my mew apartment! Don't forget to subscribe, like, comment, and all that amazing stuff. Byeeeee!"

I gently switch off my camera and take out the memory card to quickly edit this video. I insert the memory card into the slot in my computer and open up my editing software. As the software is opening, my phone starts to buzz.

text received 9:27pm from joe

joe: hey Lyds, is it true you're moving to London? Zoe just texted me

Lyds: Hey, yeah, it was meant to sort of be a surprise, Zoe only just found out

joe: when are you moving?

Lyds: one week 😁😁 I'm so excited to finally move out of my parent's house

joe: hahaha, I bet you are

Lyds: anyway, I gtg edit a video and pack so I'll see you in a week

I turn my chair to face my laptop, opening up my video I've just filmed.

By the time I've finished editing my video it's already 10:32 pm. After turning on my Spotify playlist, I sit down in front of my cupboard. My biggest suit case rests in front of me, already half full of clothes. I still have a lot of clothes and shoes and other small things to pack. I don't have to worry about most of my furniture, though because the house comes with most of the furniture already in it. The stuff I needed has already been packed up.

I continue packing up my clothes, filling up my suitcase. My clothes manage to fit in two big suitcases, my shoes in a third. It's at this time I decide to stop, because, as my eyes wander to the clock hanging on the wall, I realise that it's 11:52pm. I yawn loudly and switch off my computer.

I take a look around my small room, at everything in it. My desk in the corner, my MacBook resting on top of it, surrounded by mess. My cupboard on the wall opposite, which is now almost empty. The mirror that rests directly opposite my bed covered in little notes I've stuck on it. The bed I'm sitting on, the same bed I've had since I was twelve, the same bed I had my first kiss on, the same bed that's witnessed many, many heartbreaks and tears, but also many, many laughs, many longs nights awake with Zoe, talking about boy crushes, and celebrities, and things that mattered at the time, but not anymore.

This is the same room I've had since I was ten, and almost everything is in the exact same place as it was was when I moved here. Things have been added here and there, little things that make my room look more mature, but everything is in the same place. I've slept in this bed almost every day for the past eight years, and in a week, I'll be living by myself, in the big city of London. I'll have a new bed, a new kitchen, a new bathroom, and new lounge, and it'll all be mine. I'll actually have to feed myself.

It took me weeks to be able to convince my parents' to let me move to London by myself. 'But I won't be myself, I'll be with Zoe, and Alfie and Joe.' I'd say to my mum. Then mum would say back, 'That's exactly what I'm afraid of.' My dad would then go on to say, 'Alone in London with three older friends.' (lets just pretend Zoe and Alfie are the same age.) They only reason they finally agreed to let me move out is if I agreed to come visit as often as possible and facetime them every night I could.

That night I fall sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, and sleep until ten the next day.
