Y/N's POV

Loud sounds of people talking, announcements woke me up. The driver came to open my door and I stepped out. He proceeded to get my luggage out of the trunk and helped me put it on a luggage cart. I got my backpack out and strung it on my shoulders. I checked my luggage and sent the driver off.

I slowly headed into the domestic terminal. I quickly checked-in and got my boarding pass. I then checked-in all my baggage at the baggage drop. Moving through the security checks, I went to one of the book stores and picked up one. 'Norwegian Wood' . Murakami books are always a good choice. I took it to the cashier and paid for it. I proceeded to the VIP lounge and waited for my flight to be announced. It was still drizzling outside, but not so much that flights and flight routes would get affected.

"When it's raining like this," said Naoko, "it feels as if we're the only ones in the world.

Wow! See, this is why I love Murakami books. They always are so damn relatable. I slowly let myself get immersed into the book.

Soon my flight was announced and I boarded it. The notification sound on my phone went off.I took it the phone out of my backpack and looked at it. My brother texted my.

Joonie

Sis...you there? :)

Y/N

Yeah, just boarded the flight.

Joonie

Aight. Dad sent me the flight deets. I'll be there to pick you up.

Y/N

Thanks Joonie. :)

Joonie

Issal good. It's the least I can do for my dearest sister. Also, I'll be seeing you after almost 2 fucking years.

Y/N

Ik bro. I missed you so much. okay okay...... The air hostess wants my phone turned off or she looks like she gon snatch it outta my hands XD

Joonie

Hahaha.....XD Take care baby sis. See you soon ;) :D

I put my phone away. I'm always cheered up whenever I think of my brother . You could say he was my life support. The only reason I'm even able to make it - I'm able to stay alive after all that's happened ,is because of him. I'm so damn lucky to have him as a brother.

I looked out my window as the plane began to gain altitude. The ground began to slowly fade away. The buildings looked so so so small from up here. Even the Empire State Building looked so miniature.

If even these humongous buildings looked small from afar, maybe me going to a place all the way on the other side of the country could minimize my problems and pain. Maybe this would be good for me. Maybe I'll get another shot at a better life after this.

I opened up my book and started where I left off.

"She was the kind of person who took care of things by herself. She'd never ask anybody for advice or help. It wasn't a matter of pride, I think. She just did what seemed natural to her."

It was at this time that I decided. I decided that I will live life on my own terms. I won't show anybody my inner self. I won't show them my feelings.I need to build tall walls so that no one gets in. Not again. Let them call me names, judge me all they want. I'm done with this stupid fuckery of pleasing everyone around me and being the 'perfect' student,daughter. I'm just done.

I popped in my earphones. Mind slowly gaining peace.

We were now only 20 mins from LA. I went to the restroom on the flight. I washed my face. I then took out some of my makeup from my backpack. Right now my face was almost bare . I took some dark eye shadow and popped it on my eyelids. A perfect smokey eye. I pulled out the edge of my eyeliner more towards the outside forming a perfect winged liner. I took of my nude lip gloss and put on Red lipstick.

I looked at the person in the mirror.She looked confident. She looked Strong. This is who I want to be. This is who I Have to be.

I quickly walked back to my seat with my belongings as the flight was about to begin descent.

I felt good about this. I felt good about my decision. After all,

I'm the one I should love in this world .
