Apartment 205

Chapter 1

Anna's P.O.V

My breathing starts to get shaky as the plane starts to land, the people and buildings starting to appear bigger. My purse is tightly clutched in my hands, resting in my lap to calm the nerves...I never imagined that i'd be here, away from everything i know, but here i am. Soon, I get off the plane, the snooty flight attendant giving me a high pitched, "Goodbye, I hope you enjoyed your flight.', with a fake grin. "I did, Thank you." i smile back, trying to be as friendly as possible. The airport is packed as soon as i get down there, i'm nearly trampled to death by a mom and her 5 kids when i finally spot my suitcase and bags. I reach exit, and start smiling like an idiot when i see my best friend ryan holding a sign that says, 'Welcome to Cali, Homeskillet!'

"Ryan!" i yell excitedly and jump giving him a giant hug. "Ugh, i missed you!" i tell him, and let him go. "I missed you too." He says. "so how was your flight?" he asks when we're walking to his car. "Um, fine i guess. I just slept the whole way here." i shrug and he replies with an 'of course you did'. After putting all the bags and stuff in his car, he starts it, and One Direction is blasting.

'we're only getting older baby, and ive been thinking about you lately, does it ever drive you crazy, just how fast the night changes..'

"Wow.." i say amused. "What? you know Louis is my husband." he explains and i laugh. "Ok, well as long as I can have Harry, it's all good." I reply. "What hotel are you staying in?" he asks. "None, I got an apartment." i smile. " i paid early when i was in Houston so I wouldn't have to worry about it later." I explain. "Gosh Anna, always so prepared.." he teases me and i punch his arm. "OK, i'll just drop you off there, and we can do something later?" he asks. "Sure, why not." i smile.

Ryan drops me off, and I enter the building next to the apartment complex with all my bags and go to the front desk. "Hi, I paid for a room already and the guy i spoke to said i could just come get the key today." I shyly say. The woman types away on her computer. "Okay, Ms. Samson?" she kindly asks and i nod. "alright, here's your key, and i hope you enjoy your apartment." I thank her and read the key '206'. When i make it up the elevator, i see the room and sigh with relief, the bags are extremely heavy. I turn the key, quickly set my bags down next to the door, and look around the place. The walls are a light blue, the kitchen is pretty much white, and the carpet is just light brown. Its already furnished, but ill probably make the place a little prettier later. I smile to myself... I like it.

After putting clothes in drawers, pictures on the walls. mu guitar in my room, getting bathroom stuff all set up, and jamming to Ed Sheeran for 3 hours, im finally done putting things in place. I change into some comfier clothes, some black sweatpants, light pink tank top and some socks, i sit on the couch and read 'Paper Towns' for a little bit. about 10 minutes into reading there's these annoying noises comeing from the wall opposite of me. Laughing, loud music, banging, ect. I thought i could deal with it but when it continues to go on for 20 more minutes im annoyed. I turn up my Ed Sheeran a little more to try and drown it out, but it just seems to get louder. "Ugh.." i groan and throw on my boots. I quickly make my way to the room where the noise is coming from and I nervously knock. I knock again when they don't answer. I raise my fist to knock again when the door opens quickly. "Jesus, what do you want?" the guy asks rudely. It takes me a minute to take in his appearance; he has bright red hair, tatoos covering both his arms and stopping at his wrists, a lip and an eyebrow piercing, he's wearing black skinnny jeans, and a black shirt. Well he's intimidating, but kinda cute.

"Uh.." i quietly say. "Are you gonna talk or just waste my time?" He says rudely again with his australian accent. "I was wondering if you could keep it down please.." I shyly mumble. "Are you even near my apartment?" Wow he's a dick. "Next door actually. I just moved in today." i say. "Well welcome to the neighborhood.." he says sarcastically. Has this guy never heard of manners? "Michael hurry up!" i hear another accent say in his room. "I'm coming!" he yells to them. "Are you gonna keep it down or not?" I ask more persistantly. "Sure, princess." he rudely says and I roll my eyes. "Its Anna." I correct him. "Sure, 'Anna'". He mocks me and I scoff and walk away as he shuts his door. What an ass..
