French Girl {~a Jack Gilinsky fanfic~}

Chapter 1: New Beginnings

{~song for chapter: Pink Champagne-Ariana Grande~}
Olivia's POV:
~March 20th~
I hear slight noises of shuffling from my mom's room..
I walk in
"Maman, qu'est-ce que vous faites?" I say helping her grab her clothes
{~Translation~}
"Mom what are you doing?"
"on déménage"
{~translation~}
"We're moving"
"Omg mom" I gasp my accent very strong in my voice
It's been hard these couple of months..
My dad passed away 3 months ago to a rare illness..
That sadly runs in my family
"I'm sorry sweetie we leave to America in 2 days"
"Maman" I whine stomping my feet
~translation~
"Mom"
I walk into my bedroom
My walls painted a light purple to match my favorite color.
My room decorated in white Christmas lights & a mini Eiffel Tower on my desk
My sheets are white & Lacey
My pillows have Marilyn Monroe & diamonds everywhere on it
I throw myself on my bed
I look over at my desktop
That has my MacBook Air on it
I google
"Where to live in America?"
I find New York.
I see loads of great jobs there.
I always wanted to work.
I wanted to help my mom for a long time now.
She had to retire from her job at the bakery when my dad got sick..
I get a email & I read it throughly
"Tickets for two to JFK airport expected to land in NYC at 1pm Tuesday"
I sigh
We are leaving for good..
I type in
"How to speak proper English"
I search & I listen to a American person talking
I plug in my headphones & listen & repeat what the girl is saying..
I close my eyes
I see memories of me & my family...
I open my eyes when my mom shakes me
"Let's pack your stuff" she says her accent very clear
I giggle & I grab my stuff
~2 days later~
March 22nd 2016 says my calendar on my iPhone.
I roll my luggage through the airport here in Paris.
My mom ahead of me getting our passports & tickets.
I sigh waiting
I feel two arms wrap around me
I cringe seeing my awful BF
Theodore behind me
"Theo can you leave?" I say rolling my eyes & scoffing
He giggles
"ne laissez pas bébé Je t'aime"
{~translation~}
"Don't leave baby, I love you"
I scoff
"revenir à cette pute salope"  I say clenching my teeth
{~translation~}
"Go back to that whore you little slut"
Did I mention he cheated on me?
Yeah with a girl in my college.
"She meant nothing. Your the one I love" he says caressing my cheek
I smirk & as he leans in
I slap his face
"Goodbye Theo" I say walking away swaying my hips
My mom gives me my passport with my airplane ticket next to it
"Let's go" she says
I look back to see Theo flirting
"Okay" I say frowning & we board our plane..
~during the flight~
I plug in headphones
I play music & put my phone on airplane mode
I sigh in relief as I put my seat slightly back
My mom smiles at me
I close my eyes smiling
It feels nice to live somewhere else besides France for a change.
I don't get texts from Theo
Thank god.
I hope he knows
From the way I left..
That we're over officially..
He messed up too many times..
I hum to the song playing in my ears
Which is Into You by Ariana Grande
I smile & I open my eyes
I take out my earphones & I go to the bathroom
I wash my hands & I walk out
My mom smiles & grabs my hand
I sit back down
I blush at her
"Je T'aime" she says
I lay my head on her shoulder & I fall asleep...
Time for new beginnings..
~8pm~
I open my eyes because my mom tapped my shoulder making me jump a little
I hear
"Welcome to New York,New York. We have landed in JFK. Thank you for flying with us. The time is 8:01pm & it's '60 degrees so wear a jacket. Be safe & have a wonderful day" the stewardess says smiling
I grab our stuff & we get off the plane..
I walk through the very busy airport
My mom helps me with our stuff
I try to hail a cab..
A cab stops
A mature man with tannish skin,light dirty blonde hair & Hazel eyes steps out
A girl walks out who's has a small tan to herself,dark brown eyes & painted bright pink hair walks out smiling
"I'm Brooklyn" she says
"This is my father Roman. He's a cab driver. We'll take you wherever you need to go..first let's help you ladies with this" she says taking some of the bags out of my hands
Are Americans this sweet?
If they are.
I love it here already.
"Thank you madam" I say my accent popping out
I bite my lip
Damnit Olivia.
"Where are you ladies from?" She asks putting our bags in the trunk
"Alsace,France" my mom says smiling
"Ooh where's that? Near Paris?"
I shake my head
"No actually it's a bit far from it."
"Eh sounds cool. Okay your stuff is in come sit ladies" Brooklyn says patting the
Soft plush velvet seats
I Know better than to ruin beautiful seats & floors like this
I sit still as they drive us
"Where is your hotel?" Roman asks
I smile
"They said in Manhattan" I say
"your accent is cute" he says smiling & drives us to Manhattan..
-at the hotel-
I look out of my window
I gasp
"Maman you gotta see this!" I say looking at the beautiful view outside my window
"Sweetie you must learn English here if we're gonna be citizens soon"
"Citizens?"
"Of course why wouldn't we become citizens?"
"Mom. It's a free world"
"I know it is..but we are from France do you wanna live here?"
I nod since I already love it here
She smiles
"Then you'll do it with me."
I sigh
"Miss France already?" She asks
Hell no.
"No." I say
"Not at all" I add as I look at the city lights outside my window..

"Like in a New York minute..gonna hail a cab & don't look back once we get in it.."
