Monica's POV
I was sitting in the lobby of the airport I really wanted to rethink my decision because I don't want to leave my friends my only family besides my brother but I know what I have to do I have to get away from all this and go live with my brother and his almost fiance Lisa when I get on the plane I'm nervous I really don't want to leave but everyone has to make sacrifices when we land I feel I weight has been lifted off of my shoulder this is a fresh start for me when I walk out I see my brother Daniel and Lisa waiting for me we walk to Daniel new Benz when we get in the car I feel truly happy to be here with my brother "I'm truly happy to be here with you Daniel I heard that Valentine's day is coming what are you and Lisa planning on doing", I ask him but he just stays silent so Lisa replies for him "we wanted you to join us but we thought that your be to sad over what happened you can still join us If you want", Lisa says with a bright smile "its okay I will just stay home I don't think I want to celebrate Valentine's day tomorrow", I say as we stop in front of the driveway its been years since I been here I walk in the front door and I instantly go to mom and dads room which is filled with my stuff I turn around to my brother and her nods telling me this is my new room "I gave you mom and dads room because your room kinda became my office and I wanted you to really feel home so I decorated it just how you'd like it", he says as I walk to the picture of all of us on the wall the I walk to the other side of the room and I see I picture of mom and dad a year ago I would have been crying right now if I had seen it then I ran to my brother and I trapped him in a bear hug this really means a lot to me Daniel gave me a tour of the house like I've never seen the house before I know he is just really excited to have me back home where I belong I stayed in my room all day I just didn't want to see Daniel and Lisa all love sick because I want something like that but I know I could never have anything like that I walked out into my balcony and I saw a boy he looks my age and he's playing his guitar beautifully I danced and swayed to the harmonic music until my brother said it was time for dinner was awkward as hell because Daniel and Lisa were making googly eyes at each other it was getting fucking annoying I lost my appetite I went back to my room and I went to bed but for some reason instead of going to bed I went to my balcony and the boy was staring at me I looked away and I closed my balcony door and I shut the curtains I went to bed thinking about him in the morning I heard someone knocking on the door "I'll get it", I shout as I make my way downstairs when I open the door I see the boy from the balcony "hi can I help you ",I ask him nervously he senses my nervousness so he smirks at me I blush and I look away "I saw you last night at your balcony and I know almost everyone here and I've never seen you here before are you knew to town",he asked me "yeah I am I moved in with my brother Daniel yesterday", I say as I'm about to close the door but he stops me "well in that case welcome to the neighborhood", he says as he hands me a basket of candies and a big teddy bear he waves then he walks away I close the door and when I turn around to see Daniel looking at me "who was at the door", he ask me I just shrug and I walk into the kitchen with him following behind looking for an answer "it was nobody",I say as I make coffee "it wasn't nobody Monica why can't you just tell me why can't we be close like we used to be",he says while he rubs his forehead frustrated "we cant be close like that because you don't know anything about me anymore",I say truthfully which makes him angry "what the hell do you mean Monica I know enough about you to know that that wasn't nobody at the door",Daniel says " I'm going for a run I'll see you later",I say as i head to my room with Daniel calling after me from the kitchen anger evident in his voice I closed my door and I start to cry because I know that it was a bad idea to come here I put on a jacket and some sweatpants and I ran around the neighborhood four times until a re mustang pulled up in front of me and I saw who it was "need a lift", he says with that charming smile "no I'm just running trying to do some cardio",I say as I continue to run but he is right on my tail " I'm James by the way",he says as he stops in front of me "I'm Monica", I say as I try move past him but he stops me " that's a cool name do you love the st Monica then",he says with that gorgeous smile "my mom named me Monica because she loved the st Monica pier I was born the day after my parents anniversary they went to the st Monica pier the night before I was born now can I get back to my run", I say as he moves out of the way I run back home and I close the door "what happened back their ",Daniel asked as I'm trying to catch my breath "James our next door neighbor he plays beautifully with his guitar at night",I say as I close my mouth not meaning for that to come out "looks like some on has a crush on the neighbor",Lisa says as she walks downstairs making kissing face i ignore get and I look at my brothers face he doesn't look happy about what I said " you better stay away from him he's bad news he a player and I don't want you to get heartbroken again",Daniel says as I contemplate on why I should listen to him he's the same person that never wanted to have boyfriends and first kisses and stuff like that I think about this all night until I drift off to sleep
