Blank Pages: ON HOLD ~ Reylo AU

Chapter 2// The New House

Rey's POV
Finally after 4 days we made it to our new house. We pulled into the drive way and our house was beautiful. It had pillars outside and green bushes planted everywhere. I was wrong about our new house. I was going to love it here.

I hopped out of the truck and papa handed me the keys to the door of the house. I ran up the steps and quickly jiggled the keys into the keyhole l. I turned the knob and the door swung open. I walked inside and it was huge.

There a balcony on the second story that you could see over into the living room. There was a mantle and below it had a fire place. It's was amazing.

I ran up the steps into my room. It was fairly big for a room. I've never had a room as big as this one before.

I pulled up the blinds and pushed back the curtains and let in all the sunlight.

"It feels good to not be surrounded by snow every freakin winter." I said under my breath. I put my back pack down near the door and went to go help Papa with the boxes. Since he was old he needed help doing a lot of things.

"Did you see your room yet sweetie?" Papa asked as he handed me a box.

"Yeah I did! It's amazing! I love it!" I said trying to calm myself down. All this excitement was hard to handle.

Once we got all the boxes out of the moving truck, we had to set up the beds in our rooms.
Papa helped me bring my head board up the stairs but trust me you don't want to know how many times we dropped the thing. Too many times.

We got up stairs and papa left me to set up the bed. I got out my tools and started to listen to music. I was listening to Desperados by Rihanna. Ugh I love that song so much.
Desperados. Sitting on your ole' Monte Carlo.
I never really knew what Rihanna meant by this sentence but I knew the lyric.

I started to read the directions on the manual and did what they said.

"Take screw A and screw B. Place in slots A and B and turn 5 times counterclockwise with wrench. Easy enough." I was wrong. Every time I tried to tighten the screw it just kept falling out and another problem arose.

Finally I was able to make it stay in place.
After about an hour and 30 minutes passed my bed was set up. Finally!

I flopped on the bed and sighed heavily. "I got somewhere to sleep tonight, so that's good," I thought to myself.

Then I heard a knock at the front door. I walked over to the balcony and peaked over the edge. I saw Papa open it and two people stepped inside. A man and a woman. They were both old but not older than Papa. He's ancient!

"Hello!" The woman said with a smile drawn on her face. "Hi. How may I help you?" Papa asked sounding confused.

"Oh my goodness, I am so rude. My name is Leia. Nice to meet you." The old woman said reaching out her hand and shaking hands with papa.

"Han. Han Solo." The man said shaking hands with papa firmly. "Hello. Ben Kenobi." Papa said back.
I hid in the corner because I hated meeting new people. I was extremely shy.

Leia stepped in and walked around.
"Wow. This place is huge." She said admiring the mantle and the fire place. "Yes it's very beautiful. Me and my granddaughter just loved the way it looked." He said.

"Oh you have a granddaughter?" She asked sounding amused.

"Yes her name is Rey." He said.

"We have a son Ben. He's a very nice boy once you get to know him. I'm sure they would like to meet." Leia smiled, walking around the room.

Papa and I made eye contact from where I was hiding. I shook my head firmly and he nodded.

"Unfortunately she is not here at the moment. She's out right now. Probably at the mall. You know teenagers." Papa said waving his hand.

"Oh that's a shame. Right Han?" Leia asked her husband who obviously wasn't paying attention. He was busy messing with his fingernails.

"Huh?" He said. Leia rolled her eyes and walked towards the door with Han following behind.

"Well if you need anything were right down the street." She says patting papa on the back.
"Ok thank you. Bye bye." He said shutting the door and locking it.

I raced down the stairs flopped on the couch.
"You know you have to stop being so shy all the time Rey. It's not normal for a girl your age to be so shy." Papa said walking into the kitchen.

"I know I'm sorry it's just I don't like conversation. I'm not good at it." I said. I instantly felt my cheeks heat up.

"It's alright sweet heart." He said kissing my on the forehead. It was getting pretty late so papa decided to head to bed.

Of course his idea of late was 8:30.

"Goodnight sweet heart." He said closing the door to his bedroom. "Goodnight papa."
