(McKenna's POV)
It was below zero degrees in Canada and for the first time in 3 months, I was happy about moving to Miami
See let's just rewind back let's just say 3 months and you can see what really happened.
(3 months ago in Canada)
"I quit!" I yelled at my boss for the first time in forever.
"McKenna you need this job more than you need life itself!" She yells, knowing her comment will get to me.
"You know what?!" I scream, with adrenaline pumping through my veins.
"I don't need this, I don't need you, I don't need anything!!!" I continue, finally agreeing with my subconscious and walking out of my small office.
I slam the door shut leaving my horrible, judgmental ex-boss in the office I used to call mine.
How this all started was she thought she could keep treating me like crap and she couldn't! I've had enough of her and her stupid 'you need me' act. I don't need her. I don't need anyone.
I drove home and for once I felt happy and content with life until reality hit me like a ton of bricks and I realized I don't have a job, my dad left my family when I was 10 and my mum then died when I was 14 and from then on I lived with my older brother then he moved across the world and left me in this cold, dreadful place, so I have no family, no friends and no where to go.
I unlocked my front door and looked at my so called house. More like a room.
That night I got offered a job over the phone from Miami dolls.
It read *hi McKenna, I am the boss of Miami dolls and I've seen you do some work for a few modeling agencies and I would love you to come live in Miami and work as a full time model. Cass xx*
I was so shocked!
It's almost like this message came at the right time, so I decided to call this 'cass' and see what she is willing to offer me.
She answered on the second ring and immediately said "hello McKenna darling how are you?"
"I'm good thanks, I was calling to see what your willing to offer me with Miami dolls modeling?"
I can almost hear her smile on the other end of the line widen.
"So, Miami dolls modeling would like to offer you a 12 month contract to start you off." She says excitedly
"I'll take it, when would you like me to fly to Miami? It doesn't sound that bad.
"How is 3 months?" She asks unsurely.
"Sounds good, thanks cass!"
"I'll text you flight details and stuff! Bye." She seems nice.
(Okay fast forward to the present)
So that's why I'm going to Miami
-
I arrive in Miami and walk off the plane and out of the Miami airport.
I see palm trees and the sun, god I miss the sun.
Reality decides to come hit me again with a ton of bricks and I realize I have no where to live now, I have a bit of money but not enough for even a unit.
Crap!
I decide to go to a cheap restaurant and I start to look up people that are looking for a roommate while picking at my fries.
After looking at some weirdos I find a girl with bright orange hair and a sweet face, I end up calling her and she seems as nice as she looks. She said I could come by today and I agreed.
The drive to where she lives is long, mostly because You got lost a few times- my annoying subconscious adds.
When I get there it's not too bad, I little small but hey I don't mind.
I have to gain confidence before I knock on the wooden door but my confidence wasn't needed when I was confronted by a sweet face at the now open, wooden door.
"Hi, my names rose, what's your name?" She asks in a British accent.
"My names McKenna" I say nervously
-
After getting to know Rose a bit better I don't feel as nervous.
"I'm going to my friends party tonight! You gain?" Rose yells from the bathroom.
"Um I'm not sure" I honestly answer
"Oh come on it'll be fun, chance to meet some new people, please?" Oh god, the puppy eyes have come out.
"Fine I'll come." I roll my eyes at her and she giggles.
The drive is short, probably because she knows Miami better than I do but when we arrive I hear loud music and see 17,18 and 19 year olds all gathered outside or lying on the floor drunk.
So this is what people my age do?
When we get inside there's more people in this huge house, either drunk or half drunk. As I'm walking Behind Rose, I get handed a red cup full of vodka, I don't see what harm a drink could do after the day I've had.
I sip from the cup and a warm tingle goes through me. Before I know it I'm onto my second cup.
I lose Rose but I couldn't care less, I need to sit down.
I sit down on an expensive looking couch.
There is a boy my age on the couch and he turns around when I accidentally tap him with my elbow.
"Oh hi, my names Joey" he says in a calm tone.
"My names McKenna" I say trying to sound as calm as him but my mind is buzzing.
"So you new, I haven't seen you before and it's uncommon for me to not see people because I live here" he laughs.
"Oh, yeah I'm new, so you live here?"
"Yeah with my mates, it's a frat house and we live in it. Over there you'll see my friends Adam, Jett, mark, dan and zac." He points to his group of friends.
"This place is so cool, I wish I lived here" I say mainly to myself.
"You can if you want?" He surprises me by saying.
"What?"
"Yeah, were always keen for new people in the house." He smiles so innocently.
