Promises

Chapter 1- A New Start

I kick my suitcase in frustration, but instead my toe clicks which makes me cry out in pain "Amelia! What are you doing?!" My mum shouts at me. "Go away!" I shout back childishly.

My mum and my dad are making me and my brother move to the UK.

You see, my dad finds new musicians and bands, signs them and makes them big. One Direction are signed to him and so are 5SOS, Little Mix, Ed Sheeran and so many others.

I've always wanted to be what my dad is. Ever since I was a little girl. As I've just turned 19, my dad is taking me Ito work with him everyday and I've got to help him with the new band. If I'm good enough then I guess I get the job! But it's just the moving part which makes me angry.

I pull out my usual traveling outfit: leggings and an old band shirt with a comfy jumper.

I slip on my high tops and drag my suitcase down my many marble stairs. I forgot to say, my parents have quite a lot of money.

I look in the giant mirror in our living room and put my hair into a messy bun before sighing at my reflection.

My mums rushes in the room "come on! Go take your bags to your dad! Also your friends are outside" she says. I lug my bags outside and hand them to my dad who's packing up the car. I then turn to my friends who are already in tears. My friends Alyssa and lauren are there. Next to them is my boyfriend, Luke, who has an emotionless face. I run up to Alyssa and lauren first. They engulf me in their arms and after a few seconds I can already feel my sweater soaked with tears. After saying my goodbyes to them I wrap my arms around my boyfriend. He rubs his hand up and down my back as I sob into his chest "I'll miss you so much" I mutter "I'll miss you even more. I love you so much Amelia" this makes me cry even more "I love you even more." He leans down and kisses me lightly. "Come on Amelia! Stop messing about" my dad calls. I sigh and wave goodbye to all of them.

I see my older brother kissing his girlfriend one last time before giving his friends hugs and getting into the car and I follow him.

As soon as I'm in the car I plug my earphones into my ears and wave at my friends until I can't see them anymore "a new start right?!" My mum say. Me and my brother look at her blankly and carry on listening to our music. "This is gonna be fun" I hear her mutter sarcastically.

"Here!" Mum declares as we walk off the plane. As soon as we're out cold rain hits us "great start" I mutter sarcastically. My hair already wet "I look like a drowned rat" I moan. My brother laughs at me and I punch him "shut up Alfie" I whine. He rolls his eyes and we go to get out luggage.

Mum told us to take plain bags because if they're designer than there is a huge chance they will get stolen and I really enjoy not using designer for once. It gets boring, just a normal shirt with a little logo on it. What's the point?

Dad grabs all of our bags and hands them to us "we have a car out there" dad says, pointing to the dull outside world. He grabs some keys and we follow him out "do you like it here?" My brother asks me "no!" I say, he shakes his head "it's awful. They may have some hot girls here though" he says, mostly to himself. Looking around and checking out some girls "perv" I mutter, pushing past him.

We get out the car after an half hour journey. Finally the sun had came out. "Our house" mum says excitedly. I stare at the big house in front of us. It's very modern and there is a huge garden.

Many flowers are blossoming in the early summer heat and the house shines a bright white. "It's good here" my brother, Alfie, says. I nudge him and frown. Before we left we made an agreement to hate our parents for making us leave the people we love. He shrugs and walks through the gate, leaving me standing next to my parents with my fists clenched.

I follow him in and look around. Our furniture had already been moved in here and my dad commanded they paint the house and get it ready.

I look in each room and find the familiar pastel pink wall I asked for.

All my walls except one are white and one is a pastel pink.

My double bed has a white cover on it and my bedroom is gigantic.

I drop my phone on my bed and look around.

I have a walk in wardrobe, a dressing table and desk with a new Polaroid camera on top and stacks of paper. But not any old paper.

It's for song writing. I also have a guitar in the corner of my room and many other items scattered around in my room.

"What do you think?" Someone asks, I quickly turn around, startled, but I calm down when I see my dad "amazing" I say with a smile. He smiles back "I hope you like the theme" he mumbles "love it" I reply "okay well, I guess you better get some sleep and stuff for your first day tomorrow. Night sweetie" he smiles at me and he walks off. Leaving me on my own again.

I sigh and fall onto my bed "a new start. A new life. A new me" I whisper before feeling my eyes droop.
