Finding Ember

Chapter 1

*Ember's POV*

   Well you may not know much about me. My full name is Ember Rose Hoffman. I am 18 years old. My birthday is December 25th , 1998. My dream is to go to University. I have 3 siblings. Emmett, Nora, and Willow. I love them all so much . My parents are Lester and Linda Hoffman. I have brown/red hair. I have freckles. And brown/hazel eyes. And my parents are very loving, caring, and protective but I love them.

Well this is how my life started~ 2 hours earlier ~

   I had just finished school like any other day. My parents said they had news to tell me, but I couldn't tell if it was good or bad news but I knew something was up. When I walked upstairs I was greeted by angry parents. My dad was holding something , it was an envelope. I knew what the envelope was . It was my acceptance or reject letter from University . My mom was the first to speak up. "Why did we find an acceptance letter in the mail" she said very slowly. "Look , I know you don't want me to go to University but , it's my dream and you guys know that . I don't know why you guys aren't happy for me."I spoke too calm and a bit on edge . My dad started speaking ," You are not going to University young lady , you know how we feel about you applying to this school but you just did it behind our backs and didn't think we would know about it." My dad spoke , raising his voice as he spoke .

  I got mad and started yelling. "WHY DON'T YOU GUYS WANT ME TO FOLLOW MY DREAMS! DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG TO MAKE YOU FEEL THIS WAY! Or do you think I'm not good enough to go." My voice just above a whisper. I thought they would be happy you about me following my dreams, but I guess I was very wrong .

  My mom looked hurt and so did my dad. I just stared at them confused , hurt , and angry with tears going down my face. So..... I just left the room and went to my room to pack a suitcase with my clothes , undergarments , toiletries,  shoes , and etc. I left my bedroom and went downstairs to see my parents gone. I left out of the front door , and I walked down the street to the train station. I had enough money to last me a couple of months since I saved it all the past few years in case of something like this.

    I finally got to the train station and asked the person behind the glass windowfor a train ticket to Ohio. It costed $35.00. I gave the lady behind the window the money and she gave me the ticket. I said thank you and waved goodbye. I got on the train when it stopped in front of the bench I was sitting on. I sat in a seat in the middle of the train. I noticed that there weren't many people heading to Ohio. 

  Like literally. There were only like 30-45 people on the train. Well , at least I didn't really have to look for a seat on the train like usual when it's  busy.
