The Perfect Symphony

Prologue

Addison's POV

"Ring-Ring, Ring-Ring"

There goes the phone again, I thought to myself.

I walked to the house phone, picked it up and said, "Kizmo residence, Addison speaking, how may I help you?"

"Dear, I may have some bad news," an unfamiliar feminine voice says with a weary voice. My heart immediately plummets to the floor.

"What do you mean?" I ask nervously and as calmly as possible.

"It is something that cannot be discussed over the phone. I have already made contact with your mother. You need to get here as fast as you can but remember to drive carefully." She continues but I stopped listening. My heart shatters into the many pieces--I can only imagine the worst possible outcome

My mother was a work during this time. Nova, my bestfriend was with me because she had spent the night with my the previous night. She came rushing down the stairs.

"Addy! Why did you drop t- Darling why are you cry?" She asks frantically, jogging to pick up the forgotten phone.

"Hello? .. No, I'm her bestfriend." She gasps abruptly, "Okay, okay, I'll drive her there as soon as possible." She tells to the lady over the receiver.

I didn't realize it until that moment but I was sitting on the floor, in a ball, rocking myself while crying. Later that evening they informed my mother and I that my father's plane had a faulty engine and that there were no survivors on his flight. He was dead.

That was the moment that I lost any type of emotion and became the heartless, numb being known as Addy.

~~~~~~~A MONTH LATER~~~~~~~

"Addy! Is everything packed up from your room?? The movers are here!" My mother hollers from the bottom of the stairs.

"Yes mom! Just send them up here! I'm just going to grab my stuff for the car and I'll be there in a minute!" I say just load enough for her to hear me from the top of the steps. I roll my eyes at her attempts to speed up the leaving process.

After my dad's plane crashed, they couldn't recover any bodies from the scene so we had to have a burial with no body. How does that even work? Everything has been a blur for the past month. I was so in shock and felt to numb to even care about anything with what happened that I missed the last weeks of school and hadn't contacted any of my friends since the funeral. Excluding Nova.

Nova drove me to the hospital and learned the news soon after my mom and I did. She stayed with me the entire week after the event. She had to return to school after that because I didn't want to her to fall anymore behind than she already was because of me. I don't know what I would have done without her.  She was my anchor and the epitome of a bestfriend. 

The funeral was the worst day of my life. I wore a black dress that my dad had gotten me for my birthday, just a couple months ago. I had been crying everyday since the incident but only ever in private. At the funeral, I didn't shed a tear. I guess I ran out. During the viewing, everyone would give me a hug and say they are sorry and how we didn't deserve this. I just nodded and tried to comfort my mother who was a wreck.

She didn't cry the first night but the second night, it was like reality hit her. It finally sank in that the love of her life, the father of her child, her partner in crime was official gone forever. She was and still is heart broken, even I know that. She had more control of her emotions, more for her own sake than mine. But that was before the accident. 

Now, a couple weeks later, my mother has decided that we needed to move. Everything here, in Maine, reminds us of him. I can't walk down the street without having some type of memory pop into my head. Everything just seems so dull now. Instead of the memories bringing a smile to my face like they used to, they only bring grief and heartache.

So here I am, grabbing my phone, headphones, purse, beanie and hoodie before heading out of the door that I have done so for the past 18 years of my life. I take a slow walk out of the house, looking at the details that will truly be missed. Such as the bathroom where I lost my first tooth and the hall that my father and I would build forts in when it was too cold outside to actually camp and my mother would join in after making snacks. I nod at the movers as they walk by and walk briskly to get out of their way. Once I reach the front door, I grab the handle and whisper, "Goodbye love," and exit quietly.

I am greeted by Nova who is trying her hardest to look sick about the car ride. She closes the truck to my car and turns to face me.

"We are going to have one hell a college adventure." She states with a smirk.

"I don't know... There is this Nova girl who is always stealing my stuff and I feel like that's what's gonna make this trip so miserable." I say, teasing her because she's wearing my favorite daisy shirt. I turn around to take one last glance at the house.

"Yeah, what will you do now?" She asks sarcastically. Rolling her eyes, she walks over to me and throws an arm over my shoulder.

"Ready for your massive restart?" She asks seriously, looking back at house with me.

"Add ready as I'll ever be..." I mutter.

I look at her and nod my head in the direction of the car. We both hop in and wait for my mom. She is probably making sure that all of our stuff is on the moving truck. Or she is getting her last glaces in before we officially leave the only place we've called home.

Mom comes walking out with w tired expression on her faces and comes to my side of the car.

"Are you all set?" She asks, leaning against my window.

"Yeah, I think I'm all ready." I say slipping on my beanie, reaching over and putting on my seat belt.

"Alright, New York.. Here we come." She mumbles before walking over to her car and leading the way to our new beginning.
