There was something about the house that made me feel like home, maybe it wasn't the house maybe it was the people I had become so fond of. The girls before me have shaped my life in a way that I could never describe. This is what I came to college for, I came for the friendships I had created. I didn't come here to fight for a boy that clearly did not want to be fought for. The ash walls complimented the rooms so perfectly, instantly i fell I love with the house before me.

Claire pulled me by the arm eagerly running up the stairs where 6 bedrooms with the doors open we're awaiting our inspection. We knew this house was where we was going to make the rest of our college memories. " I think we need to all choose a room" Romy said with a massive grin on her face.

Each room was very spacious but I knew instantly which one I had fallen In love with, the one at the furthest side of the house that overlooked the front had a love seat that resides underneath the window, it was perfect just like my bedroom at home. "Please can I have that one?" I asked the girls pointing towards the room I wanted.

"Of course you can, when we came and looked at the house originally we said this room would be the one for you, the seat by the window is perfect for you to do your reading" Mia replied locking her arms with mine as we all stand in the hallway.

"I think all we need to do is sign the lease and bill the parents" Claire said with a beaming smile on her face. This was it this was the start of everything.

I pulled out my phone and called the girls in for picture "smile" I said as we all have an extra cheesy smile, I pulled up my mums number and text her a picture of us all and a picture of my new room 'It is everything, the room is perfect. I would really love to have the student fund for my dorm moved to this, if you can't do it I am happy to pay myself, I really want to experience this with my friends xx' I clicked my phone shut as we walked through the rest of the house.

The garden was a cute size and perfect for us to lounge around in if we are off college or having a free period, it is very close to the campus we could probably walk it but now I have my mums car I will probably end up driving my lazy ass to class. My phone vibrated in my pocket which snapped me out of my thoughts, I pulled it out unlocking the screen to see  text from my mum.

'Five beautiful girls, it looks like you're going to be very happy there... I can't wait to see it when we come and visit. Leave the finance with us. Love you xxxx' I couldn't contain my excitement, living with all 5 of my best friends in a beautiful house with my own bathroom and kitchen? If this isn't the dream then I don't know what is.

'Thank you so much, I love you and dad unexplainable amounts xxx' I texted back smiling like a Cheshire Cat.

'Dad said he will help you with your room, he won't admit it but he misses his little girl. He worries about you. On Saturday he's going to drive up to get you but before he brings you home he will assist with your room set up. I know he can be hard on you sometimes but he loves you darling xxx' she replied the thought of my dad coming up to help with my room both excited me and nerves me. My dad went through a lot as a teenager and a child. With my grandfathers alcohol abuse and then finding out that he wasn't really his dad it truly screwed with him. Vance my dads real dad spent every day trying to make it up to him and I finally feel like everyone is in a place where there is no longer anger. The memories are always gonna be there but with age has come forgiveness and it's something everyone needed. We need this, we need the time together spending time with my dad was always one of my favourite things to do, that hasn't changed I just wish he wouldn't try to push this perception of how I should see things whether he means well or not.

I text my mum back a okay with a smiley face and kisses locking my phone to go and view the other girls bedrooms.

"So when can we move in?" I ask Vera as she is the one who seems to be in charge of this.

"My mum has been the one liaising with the renter and they have agreed we can pretty much move in whenever the payment is received my mum has said she can pay the deposit meaning we can move in tomorrow, my mum will sign the lease form as she is the one who is most local and then it's all ours till the end of college your parents just have to pay the monthly bills as they would for the dorm" Vera advised.

"I feel like we need an ikea trip. Who's with me?" Romy asked.

"Well you can count all of us in seen as we're gonna need bedroom stuff and house bits" Mia replies clapping her hands.

"Let's go spend some money" I sang as we descended the stair case to the front door. I called shotgun like the five year old I am so I could control the Aux. The song 'lost in the wild' from the kissing booth played loudly through the speakers and Romy started screaming happily.

It's memories like this that I am forever going to treasure, laughing, smiling and enjoying myself until...

I received a text from a number I wasn't familiar with...

'Remember me? Next time you won't have him to save you, bitch' 

Suddenly I felt like I couldn't breath...
