Kyndall's POV:

Sleeping in that hotel bed last night was so uncomfortable. Thank god I have enough money to buy a real house for myself. Cause if I slept in that bed for another night I don't think I could even get up. I'm checking out of the hotel today and I'm finally gong to start living my new life. But first things first I'm going to hit that cafe down the street for some food and reading time. I hand the key to the manager, "Thank you for your stay here miss. Have a great day."

"Thank you ma'am. You also have a nice day." I walked outside and got in my car. The drive in my car was silent but it was enjoyable. It was nice to finally have a ride of silence. No arguing with anyone, just peaceful silence. Arriving at the cafe I buy some coffee and a bagel. I didn't need that much to eat because I would be back later for a bite to eat. I walk over to a comfy looking chair, put my coffee and bagel down, and open my book.

There are so many people here in the morning. I don't know whether it is because it's a weekend or they just aren't busy. But it is certainly a lot of people and I can't even concentrate reading my book. Grabbing my headphones out of my bag and plug them into my phone. Listening to music always zoned me out of whatever else is going on. Now reading my story was a lot easier than before. I was completely into my story until my phone went off.

From: Tristen:

Can we talk?

Why did that song even come up on my phone. There was no reason for it to come one my phone. Someone tapped my shoulder. "Hey Kyndall are you alright?" I nodded my head. "But you're crying. Are you sure your okay."

"I'm okay alright. There is nothing wrong so why don't you go back to work and stop bothering me." I snapped at him. Good why do I always push people away. "I'm sorry Justin it's a long story."

"It's alright. I have time if you want to share."

"I don't think that's a good idea in all. I mean I just met you and I don't really like sharing my fucked up life."

"I understand. I can throw away your trash if you want."

I looked behind me at my trash. "That would be great thank you." I got up and accidentally bumped into Justin. "I'm so sorry." I said picking up my phone.

"No biggy." He said picking up his phone.

"Well I got to go and find a new house today."

"If you need any help moving furniture in just call me. I'm busy this weekend because of football but on Monday call me if you need anything."

"Will do thank you"

"No problem Kyndall. See ya!"

"Bye Justin." I said walking away. I just kept thinking about that text Tristen sent. Why would he send it if he doesn't love me anymore. He ended it like that not me. I couldn't stand being with him if he wouldn't change his ways. In the end I knew he wasn't going to change his ways but a girl can hope. A piece of me still loves him but I don't know if my heart can take another heartbreak from him. Does he even care about what he did or what happened between us. I shouldn't even be thinking of him right now. I'm moving on away from him. No second chances this time for anybody. I have learned my lesson and I am not going to make that mistake again. Trust me already know how everything would end up in the end.

Walking down the street was boring. Nobody was on the streets at this time of day. And the thing is I have no clue where I was going. I'm just walking down the street wondering where I am going. I mean I am going to find a house today but I don't see any houses for sale. I have always lived in an ugly house where nobody would even come up to it. Well this time it is going to be different. I am actually going to make my house look presentable this time. Th. way I can make friends because I never really had any before. When I was walking down the street I saw this gorgeous house that looked to be about the right fit for me. It wasn't to banged up on the outside. Of course the house is going to need some work but I think I could manage. Now I just have to see what it looks like on the inside. I am already in love with it on the outside.

I walk inside the house and you walk right into the living room. Decent size living room that is connected to a kitchen that has a bar with some stools. Walking down the hallways I notice about 2 bedroom and two bathrooms. But at the end of the hall were two huge doors. Knowing me I just had to walk in them. Opening the doors I noticed the most gorgeous bedroom is have ever seen. When I buy this house I am definitely going to make this room my own. Now I just have to find the person who is selling this house. Walking out the house I see a women about mid-thirties standing there with a clipboard in her hand. "May I help you ma'am?"

"Yes I would like to purchase this house."

"Already well the house is not that expensive. Actually nobody has lived in it for quite some time. But if you would like to purchase it you will need to follow me so we can fill out some paperwork. And then after everything is settled the house will be yours." I nodded and followed her.

----------------------------------------------------

After about 3 hours of paperwork later the house was finally mine. Thank god because if I stayed in that office any longer I think I would have passed out. But in the end the house was mine and I couldn't be any happier. My thoughts were interrupted with my phone going off. Taking out my phone noticed that it wasn't my phone. It was someone else's phone that I had. Answering the phone, "Hello?"

"Yes I would like to know who has my phone?"

"Well this is Kyndall. And who is this?"

"Man Kyndall, what am I supposed to do without my phone for the weekend." We both started laughing. I could tell it was Justin just because he always make me laugh. "Well I guess I won't be getting my phone back until I come back from football this weekend."

"I guess so. I'm sorry Justin I had no idea this was your phone. I will just give it back to and the bookstore."

"It's fine Kyndall. That reminds me did you ever find a house?"

"I actually did. It's a beautiful house but no furniture inside of it. Only a mattress and a couch but I guess I have to do all the heavy lifting since your at football."

"You can rest until I get back. Then I can do all the heavy lifting while your painting."

"Sounds like a plan Justin. Well I have to go and walk home. I made the mistake of driving with the person who was selling the house. Now I have to walk all the way home."

"Well get home quick, okay. See ya soon."

After that I hung up. What am I supposed to do while I am waiting for Justin coming back from football. And on the other hand I don't have my phone. Oh god I hope he doesn't look at my text messages from Tristen. That would just be embarrassing if he found out what is happening with me. Justin is the only friend I have right now even though I don't know him at well. I feel like I have known him for a while. But I couldn't know him for that long because I just met him yesterday. Anyway I have to figure something out until Justin gets back from football.

----------------------------------------------------

It's been three days since I bought the house. During those three days in enrolled in school, bought some paint, and started carrying some boxes in from my car. I'm extremely tired from everything that I have been doing. I start school next week and I need to buy school supplies. But I don't think I can do that right now. I'm walking to the bookstore half a sleep. I need some coffee to keep me awake or at least try and keep me awake. I order my coffee and make my way to my usual chair. Pull out my book from my bag and start reading it. While reading the book I felt myself doze off into sleep. I guess I am really tired.

I start dreaming about Tristen. How we were so happy with each other. How we never lied to each other. And then how we separated in the end. How it looked like when I saw him with that girl. The promise ring he gave me. He always said he loved me but I know he never meant it. I was so stupid to think any of this was real or true. It happened to a girl who was in love. Now that she saw the truth of what happened. She moved away from him and never looked back. "Kyndall?" My eyes popped open and saw Justin's eyes staring at me. "You're that tired huh?" I nodded my eyes and yawned. "Well you are gonna have to wake up if you want your house done. Come on let's get started." With that said we walked of the bookstore and went shopping,
