*************************************

I'm sick of this. Ugh all this travelling. It's all for my mothers job and I don't even know what she does. I mean I have a home and a life in California, but no she doesn't seem to care, dragging me everywhere for her work. Taking me to different country's, I keep saying leave me at home but she can't do that because he went missing or left, whatever you want to call it. But this time finally we are going home and it's not just for a couple of months. I'll get to see everyone again Abby, Will, Chris, Liz, Day, Luke and Red. I know weird name, his mother had an obsession with the colour.

We've been in the car for about two hours and we are still no where near home. Great. Another two hours of awkward silence. Woohoo! Note the sarcasm. Suddenly my favourite song came on. Heart by Heart by Demi Lovato.

When your soul finds the soul it was waiting for

When some one walks in to your heart through an open door

When your hand finds the hand it was meant to hold

Don't let go

Someone comes in to your world

Suddenly your world has changed forever

I turn the radio up really loud, you could probably hear it for miles.

No there's no one else's eyes

That can see in to me

No one else's arms can lift

Lift me up so high

Your love lifts me out of time

And you know my heart by hear-

Abruptly the music stopped. I turned to face my mother, her pale pink lips pressed in to a thin line. I don't really take after my mother, see my lips are ruby red hers are pale pink. My skin has a honey glow whilst my mothers is pale white. My eyes are a bright piercing cobalt blue, my mothers muddy brown, the only thing the same about us is our light, golden blond hair, that falls in gentle natural curls and stops at our waists. It's not just our appearance that is different, it's our personalities to. I'm fun and outgoing always looking for a laugh, my mother, well, she is the complete opposite uptight, strict and work obsessed.

"Scarlett!I don't know why you listen to that insanely annoying noise, what is it called again?"

See what I mean?

"It's called music mother and it plays on the radio, obviously." I said mockingly.

"Scarlett! Don't speak to me like that."

"Yes mother." I sighed and we fell in to silence once again.

Bored, I turn round and look out the window, watching the trees fly by willing my eyes to close. It's not long before they do.

Two hours later at home.

I woke up to the sound of the engine dying. Finally. Home sweet home. I got out of the car and ran in to the house, it was just the way I remembered it when we left ten months ago. I went straight to my room and put my phone on charge and went on to our group chat.

Me: hey so have you guys come up with a name for our dance crew yet??
