My new life starts... now.



That was a year ago and now with the help of my friend Callie. Who I should now call my best friend. I now have a job, and today I'm going to look at apartments. I have a license and a car. Thanks to Callie's parents they treated me like one of the family. I drive Callie's old KIA, it's gold and looks brand new besides the small dent in the back bumper, but I think it's perfect.

I didn't go back to my old high school. I decided to attend the high school that's closest to the apartments. I need a new start and starting over and doing Senior year over again sounds like a good place to start.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I walked up to the apartment building and looked up. The building looked like it went up forever. (A/N: I've never had to get an apartment so I'm not sure how this would work, just bare with me here) I walked inside to the front desk.
"Excuse me, I would like to know if there are any available apartments up for rent." I asked the man at the front desk.
"I think there are some on the third floor, if you don't mind waiting over there I'll get the paper work for you." He said while pointing to a couple comfy looking chairs in the corner of the lobby. So I go and sit while he does some typing and he disappears into a small room behind the desk. He comes back out and grabs a pen then walks over to me.
"This is the paper work you'll have to fill out and I need a 150$ down payment then the payments each month is a 200$ or 250$ if you want HBO, Stars, etc. and wifi available." He said all this really fast.
"Ummm okay I'll let you know. Let me fill this stuff out and then we can talk." I looked up at him and smiled.
"Okay just bring it up to me when your done." He said smiling back.
I took a look through the small packet of paper he gave me. I got to work.

When I was done with the paper work I looked in my wallet and got out a hundred dollar bill and 2 twenties and a ten. I walked up to the desk and laid the papers down and put the money on top. He took everything and looked at me.
"Come back tomorrow around noon and I'll have a key for you. This all needs to be processed and then the apartment is yours." He said and smiled at the end.
"Thank you...," I looked at his name tag. "Namjoon." I smiled.

Then next day I came back at noon like the man said. When I walked in he looked up and smiled at me. I couldn't help but like his smile, he had dimples and his eye smile was adorable.
"Glad you came I just got the okay to give you the key." He said while holding up a key.
"Yay. I'm glad." I said as I took the key from him.
"Your apartment number is 305. The elevator is past the vending machines and if you feel like climbing three flights of stairs they're right across from the elevators." He said pointing to the right.
"Okay thank you.. Namjoon." I smiled and walked towards the elevators. No way was I taking the stairs. When the elevator dinged and I stepped out I walked down the hall until I reached apartment number 305. I used my key and went inside. It was small but perfect for me. I had quite a bit of unpacking to do so I decided to lock the door and go back to the elevator. When I left Namjoon wasn't standing by the desk but I left anyway. I walked outside and a group of boys were standing by the doorway.
"Going so soon?" One of them asked and I turned around to see Namjoon. He was standing there with that smile on his face looking at me.
"I just need to go get my things so I can unpack." I said smiling at him.
"Okay let me know if you need any help carrying anything." He said still smiling sweetly.
"I will. Thank you." I said as I waved bye.

After I got all my stuff into the trunk of my car I started the drive back to my apartment. It was a long drive and I'm glad all my stuff fit so I only had to make one trip. I brought all my stuff into the building with the help of Namjoon and into the elevator. Once on the third floor I push all my boxes out of the elevator into the hallway. I push all the boxes until I get to my apartment. Apartment 305. I open the door and shove the boxes inside. I peeked out to make sure I didn't leave any behind and shut the door. I start school in two days so I need to work fast. I'll probably be the only 19 year old starting out senior year but that doesn't bother me. I turned 19 a week ago and decided that moving away was a good idea. Independence interests me and I want to experience it for myself. Plus Callie is going off to college abroad so she left this morning. There was a lot of tears and hugs and promised to keep in touch. I didn't want to be a burden to her parents. I overheard them talking one night that Callie's father wanted to go on a cruise after Callie left but her mother said that with me still there they couldn't just leave me alone. They're still really careful around me. I've told them time and time again that it happened over a year ago and that I'm fine. I'm glad though that they care about me so much. So when I heard that they wanted to go on a cruise it only made me want to go through with my plan even more. After I was done unpacking I decided to get ready. I promised Callie's parents that I would have one last dinner with them. Callie's mother said that it's like she's sending off two daughters instead of one. Once I was done I headed to the elevator.

I waited for the elevator to open. Once it did a man with two bags in his hand was standing next to Namjoon in the elevator.

"Hey Haylee." Namjoon greeted while smiling.
"Hey Namjoon" I said as I smile back. The man with him says something in another language and slides by. (A/N: Image of what TaeTae looks like in above photo)
"Excuse us, I'm showing him to his room." Namjoon says and walks out after I take a side step.
"Well I'll be back later tonight I'm going to a family dinner." I said while I stepped into the elevator.
"Oh well you do look nice. I was wonder why you looked dressy." Namjoon said while chuckling softly.
"I'll probably be up here when you get back. My friend TaeTae had a lot of stuff that needs to be brought up." He said laughing.
"Okay see ya later." I say and wave as the elevator doors close.

On to my last family dinner...
