Falling...

Chapter 1

Tonight is the last night! I thought to myself as I got changed in my outfit for the leaving party that my parents are throwing me. My name is Emma and I live in the uk, well until tomorrow, you see I'm moving to La with my mum and dad. Most people my age would be sad, however I need to escape this town. I'm not popular if you were wondering, I'm not bullied either but I was a geek and people didn't mind shouting that in the corridors. I mean, I have braces, glasses and poofy hair. Miles is my only friend, he has been my next door neighbour my whole life and he is the only person I truly miss.

Walking down the stairs, I see my mum and dad leave, they are staying at a hotel for the night while my friends are over tonight. At around 8 pm, I heard a knock on the door.
"Hey..." he froze and scratched the back of his neck. " you look erm,"

"Do I really look that bad?" I ask as a frown creeps across my face.

"No, no, no you look well... amazing," he said with a slight loss for words. I blushed slightly turned around before he could notice. He embraces me in a hug from behind and whispers in my ear, " I'll miss you princess,"

"I'll miss you too miles," I say. Then I grab the food and put it on the table, like crisps and other snacks.

Once it got to 9 pm, the house was packed with people saying goodbye to me.

The night went by so quickly and soon it was 2 am. When I saw the time I went down stairs and decided to make a quick toast , "so I don't know like half of you but thank you for coming and HAVE FUN!" I screamed.

After that I had a drink then I went to check on Miles. Uh no, miles had passed out drunk in the corner. As soon as I saw him I tried to wake him, "Miles, miles, miles wake up." I said shaking him. After 3 attempts he finally woke.

"Heyy Emma great party but can we go upstairs." He asked with a sad expression on his face.

"Sure," I responded.

"So, you cannot leave tomorrow" he's said emphasising the last 2 words.

" you may not like it but I need to leave this town Miles." Hurt was the look on his face when I said that.

"How about now?" Then he... kissed me! Sparks flew, this is cliche but I can't stay for now at least. " don't leave Emma pl-please don't," he was vulnerable, I could tell but then I realised, he is pissed.

" I'm so sorry Miles, I'll come back one day and I will see you again, we are only 16, we will have our time in the future so goodbye friend, I will always love you no matter what."

I could hear sobs so I booked him a cab to take him to a hotel for the night. Finally it was quiet, everyone was gone and now it was just me and the thought of the kiss implanted into my brain. Eventually, I drifted of into a deep sleep.

Beep beep beep...

My alarm filled the room, it was 12 and my parents got back at 3 to leave with out stuff at 6, so I just had enough time to clear the rubbish away.

I ran down stairs and put on my playlist and tidied up. Soon enough my parents arrived home and we dragged all our luggage and boxes getting shipped to the new house downstairs.

"Bye house, I'll miss you!" I say as we walk out and put our bags in our car.

Mum drove to the airport and then we went thought customs and passport control. Once we finished, we headed to the boarding gate and got ready to leave. After 10 minutes of waiting we finally got on the plane. I was ready, ready for a fresh start somewhere new.
