Jordyn's POV
''I'm surprised we were able to sell this house so quickly after only 2 weeks on the market''. The realtor Nate hired to sell my house beamed with excitement.
''Yeah, me too''. I looked around at the now empty house. We were leaving today. All our stuff was packed and we were ready to leave this all behind. I don't even know where we are going, but Nate said he had handled everything. Part of me wanted to stay and never leave m house. But the other part of me wanted to escape all of this hell. Ive carried all this baggage around with me and I just needed it all gone. I know you are not supposed to run away from your problems, but I'm not. I'm running away from my shitty life. I want a better life for me and Izzy, and even Nate.
''Anyway, the new buyers will be here soon so you should give me the keys and be on your way''. I nodded, hesitating as I handed over the keys to my house.
''Good-bye''. I whispered, taking one last look at the only place I knew to be home. I turned on my heels and walked back to the jeep, hopping in.
''So, where's all the furniture?'' Isabelle rummaged through her important belongings.
''Uh, all we have is the stuff in this car''. she looked up at me, confused. ''Nate has connections, we will have a whole new place with new furniture and supplies; everything we need''. She nodded as a car pulled up next to up. A man in his late 20s hopped out, his toddler in the back seat and his pregnant wife in the passengers seat. They smiled and giggled, excited about their new house. If only they knew about all the shit that happened. But they couldn't possibly know, their perfect family. At least they would finally make that house a home.
''That could have been us, ya know''. I looked over at Isabelle who was staring at the family as they walked in. ''We could have been the family, just like them''.
''Ha, yeah. We could have. But our sperm downer and birth giver were fuck tards ''. Izzy let out a big laugh, holding her stomach as it became harder for her to breathe. ''Okay Izzy, it wasn't that funny. Now lets go to the airport, Nate is waiting for us and we cant be late''. I pulled out of that driveway for the last time and headed for the airport.
**********************************************
''I swear that security guy and his wand were just going crazy, waving that thing all over me. I think he was trying to feel me up!'' Nate shook his head and laughed, taking a seat. Izzy was between us, whining about the security guy.
''Isabelle, that's his job''. She shook her head, putting in her headphones and closing her eyes.
''So Nate, Oakland California?'' he nodded his head, smiling widely. ''Why''. He shrugged his shoulders. ''I get people there''.
''But where are we gonna go when we land?'' my mind was racing. Was this a bad choice? Should I go back?
''Don't worry, princess, I got it all figured out. Trust me''. I hope I can. Turning on my music, I looked out the window of the plane, watching the beautiful city pass by beneath us. Iv never been out of LA, this will be a change. I sigh, getting comfortable.
*********************************************
''Jordyn, wake up''. My eyes fluttered open to see Izzy standing above me. ''Hey, sis, we landed''. I nodded, getting up from my seat.
''Here you go, princess''. Nate handed me my carry on and i thanked him. ''My friends bestfriend is outside waiting for us. He lives in the same buiding as we are going to be in so he offered to drive us''. I nodded as we stepped down the stepps of the planes, the flight attendents waving and telling us to have a good day.
''Hey guys! Im Connor! Connor Franta! Im so excited you guys are moving into my buildingm my friend told me all about you guys!'' An overlyexcited kid was standing in frount of me as i stood in confusion. Nate chuckled, putting our suitcases in the back.
''Why hello there Connor, im Isabelle''. She smiled widely and batted her eyelashes. I nudged her softly.
''Isabelle, i dont think your his type''. She scoffed and continued to look at him. '' How would you know, Jordyn''.
''Ha. Well, Isabelle your sister's right. That guy over there'', Connor pointed to a tall, built brunnete guy rolling his sitcase arounf the airport. ''That's my type''. Isabelle stood quiet, stunned.
''Oh'', she stood silent for a minute still thinking about it. ''OHHHHH!'' I nodded my head and climbed in the back seat.
''Okay, lets get goiong''.
The whole ride was just Connor singing along to TroyeSivan, everyone else was quiet. I watched as the beautiful city passed by in a blur. Nate turned around to face me in the back seat.
''You guys okay''. I nodded as he gave me a warm familiar smile.
''Okay, were here''. I looked up at a tall, beautiful buiding in downtown Oakland. I awed in amazement as we got out of Connors car and grabbed our suitcases out of the back. The lobby was elegant, one of the most amazing places ive every seen. A tall man in a black suit stood at the counter.
''Hey Roger. These are the new tendants in apartment C6''. Without saying a word, Roger handed Connor a key and looked back down at his laptop on which he was typing on. ''This is Roger, our doorman. He doesnt talk much, or work''. I lauhghed as we walked towards the elevator.
''This place is awesome''. I looked around the glass elevator.
''Yea. its is. How can we ven afford this?'' Nate looked around, shrugging his shoulders.
''My friends owns the building, we can get and apartment cheap''. I nodded, uneasy about it all. The elevator dinged and i stepped out and into the most amazing penthouse ive ever seen. I could see Nate looking at me from the corner of his eye.
''Welecome home Jordyn, a princess deserves a a castle''.
About 2 hours later, i had unpacked all of my stuff. Walking out of me and Nate's room, i walked into Isabelles room. She was on her phone, textig probably. ''Hey, where's Nate?'' She shrugged and continued to look at her phone. ''Okay, well, will Chinese be okay for dinner?'' She nodded as I walked out of her room.
''Nate!''
''Im down here''. I walked down the steps, he was sitting on the couch playing his PlayStation. Sitting down next to him, he paused his game and looked at he. ''Hey, unpack?'' I nodded, at a loss for words.
''Im getting Chinese for dinner, you okay with that?'' He nodded wrapping his arm around me, pulling me into his chest.
''Im just happy to be with you''. I awkwardly removed his arm from around me and stood up. ''Yeah. Sure, Nate''.
