"just an hour more" said my mom.

Looking out of  the window was getting extremely boring , so i thought of annoying my twin.

"Jackson" i call out to him .

But he was oblivious of me calling him due to the ear buds , i nudged his shoulder slightly , receiving a groan from him .

Fine , if he was going to ignore me then I'd rather let him ignore me after what I'm about to do.

I slowly pick his phone from his lap and typed 'Hard core rock music' on YouTube , making sure the volume was full , i then played it .

With  a loud scream he woke up from his nap giving me death stares .

"Why'd you do that?" He asked irritated.

"What? I was bored and we still have an hour more until we reach whatever ville " i said with a huge grin on my face.

"Gloomville" my mom corrected me.

"Whatever, and who even names their town Gloomville ?" I asked not in a mood to talk any further with her.

i was answered with silence

"You woke me up so you could talk about the name of the town?" Asked my little brother.

You see jackson is 1 minute younger than me , even tho we were born on the same day . i like doing the whole 'I am a minute older than you , so you better obey me or else..' Thing .

"Well i mean i thought of telling you about how ally is doing , but you don't want-"

I was immediately cut of by him.

"No- no i mean sure you can talk to me" a huge smirk made its way on my face.

fun fact : ally is my best friend , who has a thing for my brother and being the best friend and the best sister that i am , well i tried to bring them close but they act like this old couple all shy and stuff , the funny thing is my brother was the quarterback of 'prestige high' back in New york and he is confident and all until it all comes to ally , its like he's a different person when he is with her .

My train of thoughts were crashed by my brother talking about daniel .

"Yeh well i messaged Daniel too" he said knowing well that Me and him are not on speaking terms , but it's weird how every time some one says his name , i feel butterflies in my stomach.

Daniel seavey , sweetheart of prestige high ,my brothers best friend and my boyfriend . the thing is we haven't broken up , it's just that he is sad because I'm going far away from him. We've been dating for 4 years and i don't plan on leaving him anytime soon.

"Yeh well atleast im dating the person i love unlike some one*cough*" i said daring him to go on.

"Oh yeh , well atleast-"

"We're here kids" my mothers cheery voice interrupted our heated conversation.

I looked out the window to see a small and vacant town , as the board said welcome to gloomville , population: 5000  to which it was canceled with a red paint and then the population decreased to 3000 then to 1000.

"Mom are you sure that we are in the right place?" I ask her with a confused face.

"Yep" she said as we parked outside a two story house , the paint of the house was worn out , the lawn was dry and dirty and the neighborhood was dead , as we walked inside, the house was bigger than it looked , but it didn't change the fact we came all the way from New york to this town.

Anger took over me , i couldn't keep it in anymore.

"Sooo, how is it?" My mom asked with glint of excitement in her eyes.

I scoffed.

"You brought us all the way from New york to this shit hole because of what?" I said not caring if it hurt her feelings.

"Elena Morgan , you do not talk to your mom like that-"

"No mom , I've had enough-" i was interrupted by jackson.

"El not now" he said giving me the 'pls don't do it' stare.

"No jackson , we left our friends , our chance of going to NYU just because she couldn't handle dad's death"

"You do not know how that feels like-"

"don't i? He was my father too , i lost him too , it hurts everyday mom knowing that he wont be able to see us graduate or to be able to see his grand children , it hurts me very second , but i don't go around changing towns , why this ? Why not California or Washington-"

"BECAUSE THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE YOUR FATHER AND I MET , THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE YOU TWO WERE BORN , THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE MY FAMILY RAISED ME" she said angrily her voice cracking at the end.

"You should've left me back in new york" and then i ran upstairs , locked myself in god knows whose room .

Sobbing for hours , i hadn't realized i had slept .

The next day i woke up early in the morning , washed my face and brushed my teeth .

Since there were  no Ingredients to make  break fast , i took some money from mom's wallet and walked to the store .

Except i didn't know where the store was , so i thought of asking people on my way .

I went over to a lady in her mid 30s and asked her to tell me where the store was ,but i was met with silence and a look of disgust .

Hmm , i wonder what's her story.

I then walked up to a kid and tried to ask him the direction of the store and yet again was met with silence.

Weird

I finally thought of going back home , maybe mom would get the ingredients , as i was walking back home people were giving me weird stares , have they not seen a girl before?

I didn't realize i had bumped into someone until i heard a groan .

I looked up to see the most handsome man ever with blonde hair and greenish - blue eyes , the muscles were a sight to see.

"Hello" he said waving his hands across my face.

"Hi" i replied , wait he talks? Finally someone who doesn't give silent treatment to the new comers.

"You talk" i blurted out.

"Uh yes" he said looking at me if i  had grown two heads.

"I'm sorry it's just , im new here and i was trying to ask directions for the store and all i was getting was silence from everyone"

"Oh ya , people aren't much friendly here" he said likes its a normal thing.

"Right!"

"God where are my manners , im corbyn , corbyn besson"
