My name is Skylar Greenwood, I have lived in England ever since the day I was born and I guess it's time to move away, so my mum thinks. I don't really like change and if it wasn't for my mum getting a promotion for her dream job there was no stopping her; as much as I didn't want to leave home where all my family and friends are.. not after all those years building connections with my bestest friend of 15 years, Hannah, she was like a sister to me and now I'm leaving her breaks my heart. I'm going to miss my homeland.. I truly am and I don't want to move away to Australia, I bet it's full with freaks that talk with the same Australian accent, but I guess that it will be better than English weather.
It was my last day here in England and I thought I'd put it to some good use. I thought I'd call Hannah and ask her if she wanted to go to the park and just chill for a few hours.
I searched for Hannah's number in my contacts before pressing call.
"Hey Hannah"
"Hey" she quickly answered.
"I was wondering if you wanted to spend the next couple of hours in the park just chilling before I go?"
"Sure I'll meet you there in 10 bye"
I quickly rummaged through my clothes and picked out some high waisted shorts and a lilac floral crop top (it was summer), it fit my petite figure perfectly. I wouldn't say I'm happy with my body, but Hannah said I have a body to die for.. that's something I didn't believe.
I picked up my makeup bag and started applying my makeup, as usual my foundation, liquid eyeliner, mascara and a tiny bit of pink lipstick.
I had tan olive skin, hazel eyes, hair that flowed halfway down my back in soft brown waves and freckles on my nose, I absolutely hate my freckles.
---------------------------------------------------
After I had finished getting ready I noticed that I was 10 minutes late..shit.
I ran down the stairs slipping my lacey sandals on, grabbing my keys and heading out the door. I eventually made it to the park to find a teared eyed Hannah sitting by the swings on her own.
"Uh.. Hannah are you alright?" I whispered while bobbing down to reach her level.
"No I'm not" she replied bluntly, her tone was sharp like she had been hurt, but her eyes soon softened like she was sorry. "It's Alex, we're through".
"WHAT?! b-but you two were inseparable.. what happened?" I was shocked to find out he broke up with her, and I wasn't expecting that at all.
"He..he cheated on me! With the slut of the school..Rosie!" by now her eyes were flooding with tears "And your leaving tomorrow.. who's going to help me get through all my problems when you've gone eh? who's going to be there for me..nobody" I sat there and listened.. there wasn't much more I could do to help her, and I'm leaving tomorrow so I couldn't do anything.
I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket, I pulled my phone out.
Caller ID: mum
"Hey mum"
"Sky you need to come now,I forgot to tell you our flight has been changed to today, you need to get all your stuff packed now"
"WHAT?!" I literally screamed down the phone so she could tell how angry I was that she couldn't have told me earlier.
This is where I make my decision to say goodbye.. or I could just tell Hannah I'm going home and not tell her, I could just forget about her. I'm not like that though; as hard as this is going to be it's time to say goodbye.
"Hannah.." I said weakly, my eyes stinging from the tears forming.
She knew what was happening, she knew I was leaving. We both sat there and burst out crying "I promise to text you everyday no matter what the time zones are, you'll be ok Han don't worry I-" before I even finished my sentence she ran off. My head began filling with questions, why did she just run away?
------------------------------------------------------
I opened the front door surprised to see all my stuff was already packed and is on its way to being shipped to our new house.
"Hey sweetie you ok?" I was wondering why she asked if I was ok but I instantly replied to her "No, Hannah left me..maybe she isn't the friend I thought she was. Why would she just leave without saying a word?" I sensed my lip quivering from the thoughts that my best friend just left me there.
"Honey I don't know but we have to get going now, we've got an hour to catch our flight" she sounded exited and ready to go.
---------------------------------------------------
Hey, maybe it will be a good change. A chance for a fresh start. A time to forget the past.
