life as i know it; with you

chapter one

This was it, today was the day that I said goodbye to my life as I knew it; to everyone else around me. As we stood in the crowded airport I gripped my dad and gave his last goodbyes, I turned to my mum who just started at me and sorrow traced every inch of her face, she was taking deep breathes in to stop the tears but they feel with out consent anyway.

The last goodbye another hard one for different reasons, Kara.

She's been my best friend since awkward puberty came knocking on my door, and life as I know it she's always been there, never asked questions and always showed up. And today I was leaving her, and even though I felt this weight of guiltiness for leaving her behind, but we both new that this was something I had to do; for me.

My parents walked away giving me some distance alone with Kara, as I turned towards her, her sweet face was looking at me small tears kissed down her swollen pink cheeks and as they did I notice the shadows that laced themselves underneath her eyes telling me that she hadn't slept much last night. Shit.

"I'm going to miss you dude" she tried to speak clearly but her voiced wobbled

"I'm going to miss you too dude, like a headache" a small glimmer of a smile appeared on her face

I took a step forward to pull her in "you're my person"

"always"

And with that I slipped into the security line and left my life behind.

As I stand here in the security line I keep finding my self biting the ends of my hoodie, and roaring voices talking to me did I make the wrong decision, is it to late to turn back? But if I go forward what's waiting for me?

I fell like I should answer your questions, where am I going? Why am I leaving my home? And where is home.

My names Kimberley, im 20 and my home is Belfast, Northern Ireland.

And why am I leaving, good question. I felt like I was walking around with no purpose with no reason with no destination but just because I should be moving forward, and I realised that I should go, somewhere anywhere alone and find that; me.

So for the past two years I've been busting my ass and working 3 jobs and everything I earned went to saving up for America (and booze) and last month I finally had enough to go.

So that's what im doing.

Moving.

8hr flight spent beside some old man who kept snoring and kid behind me who decided to play kicksys on the back of me chair within a hour they finally tired themselves out and left me the fuck alone, but now I have a major creak in my neck, as I lift my lifeless body of the chair and my bent neck we all stood like crowded chickens in a pen waiting to get released, I didn't even have a chance to move before the swarm of body's pushed me towards the exit that's when I was hit with the warm heat of L.A, I was not dressed for this weather I realised looking down to my thermal leggigs and hoodie I was already breaking into a sweat as it dribbled down my forehead. I need to get changed a.s.a.p.

This is it.
