Willowfields Cresent.

That was my future, a new start for me.

It was located in a small town in Canada, that wasn't a huge population.

  This is perfect with me, to be honest, I just like the feeling of going to a new place, with new memories ahead of me.

  Staring out of the window seemed to be relaxing my nerves. Mom was sitting beside me as we were flying on the plane.

A new start.

  Something that can take my mind away from that accident, that one moment that took almost everything from me.

  I felt a hand on mine making me snap out of my thoughts and turn to Mom who gave me a reassuring smile.

   "It's going to be okay, everything will be fine," she said making me feel a little better.

  I nodded my head, letting out a breathy sigh. "I know, I know," I whispered to her but it was more to myself.

  I know she didn't blame me for that night but every time I look at her, sometimes I see her face on that night and it breaks my heart all over again.

If only I just missed it by a second, it would all be different.

Shaking my head, I pushed the thoughts away from me.

I needed to move on, I have too.

   "Sweetheart, nothing bad will happen, you're alright, and you know that you don't need to stick out to fit in. Just be yourself," she said.

Softly smiling, I looked down at my lap. "Your right," I whispered.

I leaned my head back against my chair, staring out into the sky once again.

  Sitting in the back of the cab, we drove away from the airport and it made my insides tingle even more.

  I couldn't get out of my head that I was going to be going to college here by Monday. I was going to meet new people and start my life.

  My mother and the driver was engaging in a conversation as I was staring out into the world as we passed by.

Nothing but trees for a long time.

  I was staring so deep I thought I saw a group of dogs running really fast in the opposite direction, like giant dogs.

Knitting my eyebrows at my imagination, I just turned my head and looked ahead of me.

Sometimes my mind just needs to shut off.

  I didn't think I could feel more nature around me then I do right now, I feel as if I live in the woods. Not that I would mind, it clears your mind at times.

  I snapped out of my daze on the woods when ahead of me, I saw a sign welcoming us into Willowfields Cresent.

   "Here we are, welcoming to our town,"

The driver said.

  As we passed the sign, a shock went through my entire body, making a gasp escape my mouth loudly. My hands grip the seats of the car.

  It wasn't a painful feeling but it was as if I wasn't breathing before and I finally let myself breathe.

It felt refreshing.
