Barbie Transformation

Lets just Hope.

(A/N: this chapter is a little short, sorry)

"Emmerson are you sure you want to do this? I don't know what Hunter did to you but maybe you should just talk it out...?" Jasper pleads.

We're at the airport. It's five in the morning, this was the earliest flight we could get. All flights were booked yesterday. Last night I spent hours crying until I fell asleep.

I feel disgusting.

I didn't eat lunch nor dinner yesterday and I haven't had breakfast today. I'm starving but I can't eat anything. I'm afraid that if I eat something I'll recall Hunter kissing Candace and throw it up.

"Just get the tickets, Jasper." I tell him and he nods. We're at reception stamping our passports and receiving our airplane tickets.

It's not long until our plane arrives.

I'm glad I'm leaving this shithole. It's definitely temporary since I left all of my belonging back at the house. I did pack a suitcase of clothes though.

There's not a second I don't miss Hunter's hugs.

I've been waiting for his text message or call but it hasn't come yet. Maybe Hunter hates me? Maybe this was his revenge against me for when I blackmailed him?

It could be because of anything.

I just need some time. I need to fix my problems. Everything that's happening is far too overwhelming. My home in Rivendale is too claustrophobic with my nightmares and bad memories. Even my sanctuary; the tree house, is infected. I don't belong there. I can't keep myself standing if every memory is trying to pull me under.

I need to get away. I don't know how long it will take. But if Hunter truly loves me then he'll prove it to me and try and find me. Or even call me!
But even I know making delusions will do nothing but hurt me even more. Maybe he'll never try and look for me. Perhaps he truly dislikes me.

"Flight 1331 is ready to be boarded. Please collect all personal belongings and leave them in the airplane storage room belonging to Flight 1331. I repeat, Flight 1331 is ready to be boarded. Take off in twenty minutes. Have a nice trip!" The intercom lady says cheerily and I gag. How could someone be so happy? It makes me feel horrible.

When we reach New York, Jasper calls a cab and we drive our way to his college.

"I have a roommate by the way..." Jasper warns me and I nod my head, not bothering to talk. If I talk, my voice might crack, not only will that be embarrassing (He will probably make a comment like: Bitch, you got the wrong side of puberty) it will also make me want to cry again.

That usual saltiness at the back of my throat starts to sizzle but I bite my tongue to try stop the tears. I'm not crying again.

"His name is Felix... Just be careful around him, okay?" He tells me and I raise an eyebrow, asking him to explain why.

"Lets just say he's a player..." Jasper says and I roll my eyes.

Typically Jasper would hang out with that sort of person; he's a big player himself. How did I not suspect his roommate would be of the same character? I hope this Felix doesn't give me too many problems.

When we get out of the cab, I look around. The sign on the front entrance of the college reads: Everex College. It is quite an average size; it isn't humongous but it isn't very small either. It's bigger than my highschool, though.

"This way, Emmy." Jasper tells me and I take my bag from him and follow after.

When we reach the corridors, Jasper stops in front of a door: 169
"Like the number? 69 was taken so Felix got number 169." He chuckles and unlocks it. It's not very funny so I don't say anything. I don't even crack a smile which is very unlike me.

When he unlocks it, the place is quite nice. It's mainly black and white but I love it.

"This is the lounge. That's the kitchen. This is Felix's room. This is my room, you'll be sleeping there." He explains and I scrunch my eyebrows together, "Where are you sleeping?" I ask softly and Jasper smiles, "On the couch."

Jasper would normally make me sleep on the floor like I did to him when he came to Rivendale. He's either being so nice to me because:
1) He's pitying my broken heart.
Or
2) he's worried that Felix will pull a move on me.

Either way, I don't care. The front door opens and a boy with blonde hair and hazel eyes walks in.

He looks nothing like Hunter.

I guess that's a good thing, I don't want to be reminded of him everyday. In a way, his eyes remind me of Autumn's, and Autumn reminds me of Hunter.

I snap out of it when the boy smiles at me, "Well hey there..."

Jasper coughs to get the boys attention, "Felix this is my sister, Emmerson... My sixteen year old sister." He informs Felix, exaggerating my age warning him not to make a move on me.
"I'm turning seventeen in a month actually." I remind Jasper and he nods, "you're still sixteen though."

"Hello Emmerson. I'm Felix and I'm nineteen years old." He grins and winks at me, teasing Jasper.

Jasper punches his shoulder meekly, "Dude, watch it." Felix just laughs and walks towards his room.

Felix is very attractive, but not as attractive as Hunter.

Fuck, I have to stop relating everyone to Hunter!

Felix has the same blonde hair as me, if you don't count my colourful blue streaks; people could probably mistake us as siblings. Jasper has brownish hair and blue eyes like me.
Felix and Jasper don't look very similar.

"Do you want to unpack your bags? You can use my closet, I only use the drawers." Jasper asks me gently and I nod. When I finish unpacking all of my clothes, I check my phone. My screen shows an image of Hunter in the background and I mentally start to cry.

I close the phone quickly and drop it on the bed.

When I walk into the lounge, Felix is sitting on the couch watching tv. "Hey, you okay?" He asks when he sees my depressed face.
I force a smile, "I'm fine, just a little tired." I lie and he looks at me suspiciously, "you're awful at lying, you know." He smiles and I frown.

"I wasn't lying." I tell him and he shakes his head, "Awful, I tell you."

I crack the first smile I have in seventeen hours and whack his face with a pillow. He shrieks like a girl and I grin.

Then I think about how Hunter would feel if he saw me playing around like this when I'm supposed to be recovering from heartbreak. He'd probably be horrified.

I snap out of my trance when Felix clicks his fingers in front of me, "helloooo? You there?" He asks and I blink and nod.

"Do you want to play play station?" He asks and I nod. "You better have GTA5 and COD" I warn him and he grins, "Of course I do!"

For the rest of the day, I spend my hours battling against Felix on play station. I'm won three COD games and Felix has won two.

I'm good at this game because I usually play play station in the treehouse to get my mind off things.

When Felix dies on COD for the fourth time, he swears causing me to laugh.

I have a feeling I'm going to be alright here, especially with a friend like Felix.

Lets just hope things go alright here.
