This was the year that was hell for the my family. I—Valencia Fleur Burton—was only 11 years old when my mother had passed away. It came as such a shock the news the specific night my father— Daryl Burton—had received. I remember him coming into the room this day to tell me and my sister—Verona—that my mom had gotten into a car accident, and sadly didn't make it. +Verona and I couldn't even breathe. Tears rushed down our faces because we both were very close with our mom. My dad had felt completely depressed because she was the love of his life. The funeral and wake wasn't any better. Family and friends gathered to pay their condolences to the loss. I remember seeing her lifeless with Verona standing next to me. Verona spoke staring, "Mom, please come back. You can't be gone." That dreadful comment had broke me into the million pieces. I remember walking into the bathroom breaking down. I felt like a total piece of me was missing. Verona came into the bathroom and hugged me tightly. I should have been being strong for Verona, but she was the one being tough for me.I remember later that year. My father entered the living room where Verona and I were watching Danny Phantom. "Girls. I decided that it would be best to move."Verona glanced at me making me speak up, "Where to?""Manchester, England." Verona furrowed her eyebrows. I just was quiet because I didn't even know what to say. "When are we moving?"eral and wake wasn't any better. Family and friends gathered to pay their condolences to the loss.

I just was quiet because I didn't even know what to say. "When are we moving?"Sitting down he spoke, "Well everything has to be packed by Wednesday. I already have bought a home in Manchester. Everything is being flown to the home while we are leaving on Thursday. I promise you both that it will be fun in England."This was the first plane ride me and Verona have ever been on. I sat next to the window as Verona sat in the middle. Verona had put on one of the free movies that the airline offered, but I was watching the view outside as we flew above it. The flight had taken up a lot of time, but when we finally landed it was relieving.My dad had called a car to pick us up from the airport. When it arrived, Verona and I climbed into the backseat attaching the seatbelt into piece that reminds me as a key. I was told that the drive would be about 3 hours. I figured now would be a good idea to get some sleep.My arm was being shoved around which made my eyes peel open to see a cute home outside the window. I stepped out of the vehicle, and just looked at the home in front of me. It was a cute detached house made out of red bricks. This would be a strange change growing up in Philadelphia to now live in Manchester, England. I walked into the home to search around before finding my room upstairs with light grey walls and an accent wall with dark grey floral all over it. This room was something I definitely could get used to. Maybe England won't be overly bad.present dayIt's been 13 years since I've moved to England. Let me tell you I've grown to love it here. It feels exactly how home should be. Recently, my sister Verona and I moved into our own flat leaving my dad with his new wife—Laura. He remarried 2 years ago and its a great feeling seeing him happy again. Verona is currently 22 and she works as a journalist for the newspaper. As for myself, I work as a photographer for GQ magazine. +Our flat has 3 bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen. We manage to work through our rent and split it equally since we both get paid a decent amount. It was a lovely idea to share a flat with my sister.ing through the door. Whenever she did this it meant there was some gossip she had to tell me. Right on time, Verona jumped onto the couch and sat facing towards me.YOU'LL ALSO LIKEOne Night Stands || ForthBeam FF by Lukey03One Night Stands || ForthBeam FFBy Lukey03 21.7K 1.1KForth is bored of the same old thing.

"You won me.""Vero, what's going on?" I chuckle at her.My sister breaths before speaking, "I was talking to Amelia from the first floor. She informed me that somebody was finally moving into the apartment next to us. The new resident also happens to be a guy! Maybe you finally will be able to get a boyfriend!""Verona. He could be an old man! No thank you!" I roll my eyes at her. "Also since you probably forgot, Bridget and Hanna are coming over tonight."Verona nodded. "I remembered, Lenci! What if he wasn't an old man though? Would you consider it?" I stared at her and laughed. "Vero, if you are so interested why don't you go for him." Verona glared at me. "I'm very happy with Callum!"I grab ahold of the pillow and hit her with it. "Just go get ready and I'll get the alcohol set up because I know Bri and Han will want to drink." I walk to the kitchen and grab out Svedka cherry, vanilla and rasphberry flavored vodka.I heard knocking at the door which made me yell. "Vero get the door please!" I placed glasses on the table next to the bottles. The door opened and I heard a bunch of screams knowing that meant Hanna and Bridget were here.Both came barging into the room hugging me from behind. "Lenci!" Bri screamed. Bridget has been my best friend since Year 10. She is very British so, Bri has been the one to teach me the English slang such as sneakers are called trainers. Then I have my dear friend Hanna. Vero and I met Hanna during university. She fit right in with us because Han was a year younger than me, but a year older than Verona.I open up the cherry vodka and pour some in my glass. I needed some of this early on. Even though drinking one glass of this would make me tipsy. I'm a lightweight so alcohol easily caused problems for myself."Lenci, I see you picked up the correct flavors of vodka today!" Han clapped her hands opening up the raspberry one. She chugged half of it before laughing.I carried my glass over towards the couch. The rest of the girls ended up on the couch too with a glass of vodka in their hands. Putting on Clueless is what we had decided on the week before. Cher honestly was my favorite thing ever because she didn't realize how self-centered she really was until Josh said something to her. As we kept drinking, I could tell we were all tipsy. Of course me being the least bit tipsy because I was still only almost done with my first glass. The rest of them had finished at least 3 glasses each. +Verona placed her glass on the table. "Let's play truth or dar"Don't be a baby! You know it's a guy! What more could you need!" Verona screamed. Bridget and Hanna jaws dropped! "Valencia. Listen to me! You haven't had a boyfriend since first year of university. You need a guy in your life. One that's not Vero's boyfriend or your dad. If he's old then I get it, but if you do the dare and he's young there's a benefit!" Bri smiled giving me a look that pleaded me to go through with the dare. +Hanna stood up. "Look at it like this. The worst thing that could happen is they say leave me alone. If they are old now you can have like a grandfather to take care of!" Verona slapped her arm which made Han yelp."Fine I'll do the dare!" I sighed getting up grabbing my phone. "The apartment that belonged to Mr. Bowen right?" Verona nodded her head before grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the door.I walked out of the door heading towards the new neighbor's door. I was looking at the ground when I knocked on the door. Footsteps from the other side startled me as they got closer. This is going to be embarrassing.The door swung open while I was still looking at the ground. "Hi. Can I get your number?" The voice chuckled which made me shift my head up towards the person."Holy shit. You are.. You're Jesse Lingard!" I stood there still due to shock that overtook my veins."Yes I am. Who are you may I ask?" He smiled at me which made my knees buckle slightly."Oh my bad. I'm Valencia. I live in the flat next to you though." I stutter on my name when I'm speaking. "Sorry to interrupt over that lame question. You obviously don't want to give me your number." I bit my lip nervously.Before I walk away, his hand grabs my wrist turning me around. I glance down at his hand attached to my wrist. A piece of paper was placed into my hand before he withdrew his hand and shut the door.Coming face to face with his door made me realize I should return back to my flat. This was a story to tell my children in the future. 5I open the door to the flat and was met with pleading eyes to tell me what had happened. I just placed down the number on the table standing straight up. This was the only thing that could come out of my mouth at this very moment."The new neighbor is Jesse Lingard!"
