I was 14 now and graduated from Hollywood Arts at the top of my class. I was offered a full scholarship to another performing arts school but this time in London. Funny thing was going to school in America I lost my Australian accent and picked up on the American one which wasn’t so bad. It has always been my dream to visit London but I didn’t know how I was suppose to tell them because the deal was once I graduated I was to go back home to Australia but how could I when I got a full scholarship to go to London to get a step closer to my dream.
I haven’t gone back home since I left because my family couldn’t afford it so i had to Skype them and they even saw my graduation over Skype as well but it was just my parents who I really stayed in contact with because it was to hard for my brothers. My parents told me my brothers took it hard when I left home, especially my twin brother Luke because we had a special connection being twins and all. He had gotten into playing guitar while I was gone and I was happy but I know he probably wasn’t as happy as he could be. None of my family was really truly happy because I wasn’t home but to be honest they were better off without me because although they were proud I didn’t want to be the reason for there pain….
So I decided to Skype my parents one more time but not to tell them about the scholarship I got but to say good bye and they had no idea so it was hard for me but I did it.
“Hey mom hey dad”
“hi sweet heart” my mother said smiling
“how are you doing “ my dad asked
“great, now that I finally graduated. How are you guys doing?”
“good" she said but it didn’t convince me all to well because I know she was hiding the pain of me still gone being gone so that was all it took for me to make my final decision.
"Bye mom bye dad I love you."
"Oh we love you to sweet heart” my mom said
“I have a package coming to the house as well as a letter to you guys and I hope you like it when it comes.”
I said with a shy smile because I was trying to hide my pain of saying my final goodbye
“oh honey we can’t wait to read and open the package. ”they both said with happy smiles on their face.
“we can’t wait until you come home Lily”
“ me neither, I can’t wait to see you all” I said but they didn’t know I was lying
“bye,Lily”
“bye mom,dad, tell ben, jack, and Luke I miss them”
“we will, bye Lily”
With that I ended the Skype call with them and cried because I would never see my family again after that I couldn’t because I was the reason for their pain they felt so I ran.
