Naomi and Roman have been unlikely friends since birth, when they grow apart from Olivia's distaste, they go years without seeing each other, only to be brought back together when they've reached teenage and hormones and emotions as well as other tr...
Me and mum ended up leaving Hemlock Grove that school break. I didn't even have time to say bye to Shelley or even have her number to call. I felt like an awful friend to ditch her but it's not like I didn't put up a fight, believe me I did, it ended mine and mum's relationship and we're not even close any more, we argue 24/7 especially now it's been two years since the sudden move and I've grown up a lot and now have a whole group of friends which mum hates and am now a proud 5'6. I now had silky wavy hair that had grown to the bottom of my waist, wore a little but not too much makeup, and dressed with taste and began eating more as it had hit so bad I was in hospital for a few weeks a year ago. I'm no where near as shy now but not cocky or overconfident but can socialise without wanting to disappear. I hadn't thought of Hemlock Grove for a year and a half of the two years we'd lived here properly until mum brought it up at dinner.
"How'd you feel about moving back to Hemlock Grove? We can afford it now and it's a much nicer area than this cheap nasty one." I shoved my plate away from me in rage and grimaced at her coldly. "What? Cuz you don't like my friends? You know you're starting to act like Olivia fuckin Godfrey!" I raised my voice, hurt. "Don't talk to me like that! Now listen, the schools much better there and you can see your old friends again." I was silent, trying not to explode with emotion. I breathed out heavily, "Did you even know who my old friends were?" I raised an eyebrow at her as she struggled for words to defend her denial. I scoffed. "Yup. Didn't think so. They were Shelley Godfrey and I guess kind of Roman, we were on ok terms." Mum looked a little mad, "Why after what that little shit let his beast of a mother do to you?" She spoke sharply as if her tongue was a blade and her teeth were glass. "He was 8 mum. Let it go. I just don't get it. I had friends finally in Hemlock, so we move. I make a bigger group of friends here and oh! You wanna move again." I laughed with sarcasm riddled in it as she looked a little guilty for once. "This area isn't good for your future and you know it. You can drive up to visit them. You have a license, it's not the end of the world. I'd get it if you were still 14, but you're not so please honey, just think about it. Ok?" She smiled weakly that only made me roll my eyes. "Yeah. Ok." I replied bluntly before leaving to wash up and have a shower before bed.
By the end of the month the decision was made and we moved back to Hemlock Grove. I eventually realised that I did want a future and where we were before wasn't going to get me that and I did want to do good things and Hemlock Grove is the right place for it. It took us a week to unpack, repaint and sort out stuff in the house before I started back at Hemlock Grove High School. 'God help me' is all I was thinking as the night before came and my anxiety was at its peak.
The alarm went off feeling like torture at 6:45am and I took about 5 minutes to actually stumble out of bed. I quickly showered, blow dried and brushed my hair, applied black eyeliner in upward flicks, a pinky/red eyeshadow, dark red lipstick and finished with shaping my dark brows that matched my dark hair. I wore my medium silver hoop earrings and helix hoop piercing and had a cute little nose ring on the left nostril. I decided on wearing a white, off shoulder, crop top with black, high waisted ripped skinny jeans, my leather jacket and my black suede heeled ankle boots. I grabbed my black Jansport bag and walked the few feet to my retro red 1985 BMW before jumping in and heading straight to school, turning an eminem song up nearly to the max.
