Deep Among The Stars

Chapter 2: Home Sweet Home

The ride from the airport to our new home didn't last very long. Passing by the beautiful scenery made me compare all the tress of nature to the large buildings created by man. It was the exact opposite of New York. California was very calm and even though there were large cities like Los Angeles, it's didn't go anywhere near the city life that New York carried.

As we approach our new house all I see are large gates with a mile long driveway that leads to the actual house. Driving down the driveway I anticipate my new life. This is it, I tell myself, this is the change that everyone around seems to think will be good for me. Gee, I just can't wait to find out if it's true! Note the Sarcasm.

My father and I get out of the car and the mansion in front of me is nothing less than beautiful. It's a huge four story mansion with huge stairs leading up to the front door. A fountain is carried and lifted in between the stairs spitting water out in beautiful designs.

Once I enter the house, it's even more beautiful than my old one. It's breathtakingly beautiful, that it bugs me. It's perfect. This, this was her dream house. The interior is all modern with gray and white marble floors. It has huge windows covering every inch of the wall on one side of the house. The backyard has the biggest pool I've ever seen. I know for fact, I will never use it. Everywhere I look, I find something more beautiful than the previous. Whether it's our home theater, our three kitchens, our huge garage, or the endless number of rooms in this house, I will never consider this to be my true home. Not when my heart is somewhere else.

After getting settled down, I have nothing else to do then to just sit in my room and watch tv. After our workers unpacked all our things and organized my room for me, there wasn't anything left to do. So currently I'm laying in my giant bed watching an episode of Friends.
I'll never forget how much she and I loved this show. It's not the same anymore. I quickly change the channel. After not finding anything remotely good on tv, I eventually turn it off and lay in bed. I think about school and how I'm going to be a new student at a public school. I've never been to public school so it'll definitely be different.

A long and dragged weekend went by as I prepared for school. It was Sunday night and here I was still currently laying in my bed staring at the ceiling. I flashback to a time of my life where I liked school so much I craved it. I craved learning and expanding my minds to the depths of the unknown. She helped me with it too. She always pushed me to try my hardest and that's one of the many things I loved most about her.

For the rest of the night I lay like this, no thought, no emotion, no need for sleep overcoming me. Darkness, utter sadness and emptiness is what consumed me.
