Hennessy's Pov

i knew college was going to be completely different from highschool. it was a darker time in my life and i thought that empty feeling inside of me would never leave. college gave me the opportunity to start fresh and be the person i had hope to become.

i pack the last of my bags and bring them down the stairs. i send a quick small smile to both my mother and stepdad who had sorrow looks on their faces.

i groan, checking my phone and seeing the notification that alerted me my uber is here.

"my uber is here guys, i have to get going."

"please be safe bebé, i don't know what i'd do if i found out another incident happened."

i swallow deeply, remembering the terrifying fragments of that night. i take a deep breath and a small smile plasters across my face.

"i'll be fine, i'll call you if anything happens."

she nods, giving me a sweet meaningful hug and kisses my cheek before i say goodbye to my dad. i hug him and he pulls back holding my face in his hands kissing my forehead.

"remember to call, you know how you're mom will freak out. i seriously don't want to get hit with another shoe." he shivers jokingly, making me laugh with air coming out my nose.

"yes, i will make sure to call. i really have to go now. i'll see you soon. i love you both."

we say goodbye once more before i walk out shutting the door and putting my belongings into the trunk of the car. i sit in the back seat greeting the nice woman then putting on my headphones as i listen to music while she begins to drive to the airport.

once i arrived, i went through clearance, handled the baggage and found the correct plane. i walk through the aisle, pushing past through a couple of people while trying to view each number. i sigh of relief when finding the seat. within four hours of the flight, i slept, talked to a few people, watched a movie, slept again. everything was smooth sailing, but during the last thirty minutes of the flight, i felt like i was going through pure torture. i sat in the aisle seat, so the guy next to me always hunched over to take whatever food he can get from the flight attendant as she passed by.

he chews obnoxiously loud, which was annoying and also getting some looks from others. all i heard was constant chewing in my ear and it was starting to become a hassle.

"sorry, hi." i smile, tapping his shoulder. "if you don't mind, could you please try eating with your mouth closed. you're disturbing other passengers and we all just want to relax."

he coughs, nodding and quickly apologizing. i assure him that he didn't need to worry and that it was okay, which seemed to ease his mind.

"attention passengers we will be landing in about ten minutes, please stay seated until further notice".

after the last ten minutes i make my way through the airport ready to pay for another uber and find the closest hotel. before that i text my parents telling them i'm okay, and i made it to california safely. i pay for the service needed and put in the address as i patiently waited.

after a few minutes i spot the car waving my hands in hope that they'll see me with the numerous people jumbling around. they finally see me and i put my bags and luggage in the trunk once again before getting in the car, greeting them, and playing some music. thirty minutes into the car ride and i had finally arrived to the hotel.

i tell the driver thank you then proceed to take my belongings and go inside. when viewing the decorating of this place i immediately think this place has to be way overpriced for me.
