Annabel

CHAPTER 1

Today was the first day to the beginning of my independence. I was finally going off to university far away from home and everyone i knew. I was finally leaving my comfort zone and I was nervous as hell. I avoided such things but I guess it was now or never...

I was set to leave in a couple of hours and as much as I didn't want to go I was excited to venture out on my own and I had to make sure that I left nothing behind. I always had this nasty habit of leaving things everywhere and my mom was always on my case about that.

Finally having finished packing my bag, I sit on my bed looking around one last time as the memories come flashing back. I groan as I'm interrupted by my vibrating on my side table signalling that I got text..

Linda: Anna!!

Linda:  Annabel!!

Linda:  Your bitch ass better be home when I get there or this friendship is so over!

Linda:  I hope you haven't left yet...

Linda:  Anna!!

I roll my eyes as I read the texts, shaking my head at the psycho I call my best friend.  We've been friends for 9 years now and you've become inseparable... well until now that is. She was staying home and studying culinary arts and I chose to go to a different state to study Psychology.

I didn't realize how long I had been sulking until Linda literally came barging into my room like she did whenever she came over

"Can't you knock like a normal guest? " rolling my eyes. "This has been my home for 9 flippen years now and you're still trying to get me to knock?" She just starred at me like I was an idiot.  "Bitch!" I sighed as she threw a pillow at me.

"Soo Anna... " I turn to see Linda fiddling with her fingers while pacing around the room. I knew where this was going and I wasn't going to ruin my day thinking or talking about Bryan. "That is a chapter I'm trying to close, can we not talk about it please. " After what seemed like a lifetime of total silence, my mom called signalling that it was time for me to leave for the bus station if I wanted to catch my bus.
While everyone was trying to fit all my bags in the car downstairs, I stayed in my room a little while longer starring at my psycho friend open a piece of crumbled paper.

"Nxaww! A love letter for me? " laughing at she puzzled face. "Just shut up and listen will you! " I sat on bed waiting to hear what she had to say, this had to be good if it has her so shy all of a sudden I thought to myself.

"This is a little note a wrote to my best friend, my sister, co-poet, lover, advisor... well you get the point. Although you chose to leave me all alone, I want you to know that I'll always love you and that all those people you are obviously going to meet should know that I am irreplaceable! I promise to keep our room clean when I'm here for supper and to cherish everything in this room like it's my own. I'm still your number one badass bitch and you besta remember that! "

"That wasn't the best speech I've heard but neither is it the worst " laughing as we made our way to the car... this was it! I was really leaving home, was I ready for this step in life? I guess there was only one way to find out.

I hope this wasn't too bad. It was only the beginning
