My POV:
I packed my bags and prepared for my flight to London. Originally, I am from Michigan, USA. Ever since I was a small child, I've wanted to go to London in the UK to live there, and hopefully find a job as an actress.
It was on my 18th birthday, that my mom and dad bought me a plane ticket to London. I got so excited I went and packed everything that day, even though the flight wasn't for another week or so.
I left behind only a few people, because where I was from, it was a small town. It was called Yale, MI. Just a while away from Armada, MI. The town was so fun, filled with beautiful Victorian houses, and everyone just always seemed so happy.
It was the kind of place where you'd walk down the street, walk into the local dinner, or pull up next to someone in a car and you'd know them.
I had a best friend there, his name was Caleb. We've been the best of friends since birth.
Our family's were almost like one huge family when together. We had barbecues, whole family sleepovers, sharing clothes, sharing birthdays, you name it and we've most likely done it.
Sure, we had our fights but for the most part, we were always so good to each other and really did love each other. A surprisingly big amount actually.
Mom, dad, and Caleb were the hardest to leave behind. But they said they'd come and visit sometime, and I had my phone for Skype. So I guess in the long run, I wasn't too worried about it.
*a week later*
I cleaned out my dressers, my walls, took my family pictures, and put them all In my (Y/F/C ) colored roller suitcase.
After zipping all of my suitcases closed, I walked out my door rolling my suitcase behind with me to be greeted by a crying Caleb, his family, and mine.
"Awwwwe common guys please don't cry, you're gonna make me cry too, and then my makeup is gonna drain, my eyes are gonna get puffy, my cheeks are go-" I started to complain in a whinny, but sad tone, only to be interrupted by a hug from Caleb.
"You can cry (Y/N), you'll always be beautiful I don't care what happened to make you look that way" He whispered into my ear, causing the warm, salty drips of wetness to flow from my eyes down to my chin, followed by a smile. He looked at me and laughed, making me chuckle a little too.
Caleb has always been/ and can still make people so emotional in whatever state, or situation they were in. I guess that's why I loved him being my best friend so much.
Although... There were a few embarrassing moments as school where he might have been a little over protective of me. BUT! I can look past that. I'll always love him like a brother no matter what he does to embarrass me.
"(Y/N), are you sure that this is okay? You're okay? Have you assured your self you want to leave all this behind?" My father rambled in a worried tone.
"Dad." I say looking at him, expecting him to stop.
"DAD!" I yell, finally getting his attention.
I smiled, "dad, you've always been there for me and I understand that your scared for me to finally be out in the world all alone," I speak, coming closer to embrace him.
"But This is what I've always wanted. And now I'm finally chasing my dreams." I say quieter as I leave the hug. He smiles back.
After saying all of the rest of my goodbyes, I throw my (Y/H/C) hair into an effortless bun, put on my black ankle cut converse, and open the door looking back on the life I'm leaving behind.
I then stare out at my car. Thinking about the life I'm about to begin, as I take my first step out the door.
I set my things in my Grey Chevy truck (it's not an attractive woman's car, but it's great for the dirt roads if you wanna know why I chose that vehicle) and hopped in starting my car.
I can almost hear the sound of my great future ahead of me.
And I drive away.
