Better Off (Lil Peep)

Intro: Samara

Samara's POV

August 2016.

It's over. It's really over. I'm leaving Annie's apartment and I'm leaving Beck and Landon and I'm leaving Minnesota. It wasn't a split second decision. I'd been wanting to go, for so long. Beck and I hardly got along any more and I found him cheating on me with Annie. Four years, I thought to myself. Four years I dealt with Beck O' Malley and his control, he was always afraid to let me go out with friends. To let me talk to other guys (even though I'm bi?)
And now he was cheating on me. And had been for a year and a half.

What a fucking waste. My only true friend was half way across the world, in France where she went to school. Ally, my childhood best friend. We were 19 now, and had been friends since we were 7. She was my rock- strong, outspoken and brave Ally. She was everything I wished I could be.

But I was only ever just Samara. Shy, timid, and quiet. I never stood up for myself. I didn't have a lot of friends. Most people who said they were my friends were walking on me and using me. When Ally left all I had left was Beck and now that it was over, it was finally time to get gone.

I packed my clothes, my shoes, my lava lamp. My camera, my favorite books, my writing notebook, and I left that day. It was August 4th, 2016 and the day was hot as I walked down the beaten road. I pulled my blue hair into a pony tail and wondered how long it would take Beck to notice that I was gone. It took me a hour in the heat to walk to the train station.

As I boarded, I looked out at the Minnesota sky before me. This was no longer going to be home.
And I was no longer the same Samara.

Goodbye Minnesota. Hello Los Angeles, the City of Angels.
