Hope POV

"Come on Hope a little effort, you must eat!", my mother told me. Usually, I ate well but at that moment I was stressing to death.

"Yes, yes mama, I'm trying.", I replied to convince her. After eating I admit, with great difficulty, I went out to put my suitcases in the trunk of the car.

Happy but a bit nervous. The time had passed so quickly that I felt as if I had closed my eyes no longer for an hour. I was finally ready for this new road waiting for me; but at the same time I told myself that maybe I should stay at home to take care of those who were always there for me... I rose the idea that I would go home every night. Nevertheless, my mother concluded that renting an apartment owned by the University was the best thing to do by adding that Eva and her could freely manage even without my presence. I trusted her and prayed that all her words would come true.

Strangely, anxiety became more and more prevalent. Every second seemed to me a hell. The last thing to do? Took this step which would effect the course of things.

On the way! We were driving. My mother, my little sister, my uncle and I. The latter being generous by nature, had proposed to accompany us on this day. From what we had planned, we would drop Eva and then go to Seattle. There was nothing to worry about but it was stronger than me. I admired the landscape fiddling with my fingers and thought...

Leaving Vancouver for Seattle... I really wonder what will happen next.

After long hours driving, to do nothing but thinking, far away I spotted this one, City University Seattle.

That's it Hope, you're there. No reverse possible. I deemed.

My mother helped me regain my thoughts by bidding me farewell, and like her I could not restrain my tears. At that moment, everything that came to my mind was all the affection and love she had offered me from the beginning. It was hard.

"I will miss you sweetheart"

"I'll miss you too mum... Tell Eva that I love her very much"

"Yes, darling, I love you. I will tell her. Well... I have to go... Call me when you're free and don't do any thing silly. Do not let yourself be influenced by the negative waves of your friends... I'm counting on you. " she said, putting a kiss on my cheek.

Me? Doing stupid things with my friends? Since when? I thought chuckling. "Yes! Okay... don't worry", I smiled at her. "Bye mom... And safe trip!", I added.

"Be careful girl!", dear uncle affirmed. I shook my head to agree and some minutes later, I was alone.

Courage Hope. With this thought, I went to the headmaster's office.

Summer POV

Having not slept the whole night, my awakening was not as graceful. I was so tight that I had not found sleep. I had thought of many things, including Hope... I was hoping she had not taken a year to "let go," with the ability she had. That would be a major mistake.

I was getting ready. I opted for a plain white tee-shirt, torn jeans and a khaki green jacket. Nothing extravagant either and headed for the garden terrace.

"Hi my chip, how are you?", my father said to me.

"Yes, let's say it can go", I said, not very sure of myself.

I kissed my brother who was spreading his bread from nutella and sat right next to my sister, Sarah.

"DON'T WORRY! It will be fire hehe!", she told me giving a wink. After saying goodbye to my whole family, I left for two hours. Seattle I was coming.
