Beyond Souls

Chaper 2 : An escape

|Charlotte|

As the months passed I noticed that every place I went to reminded me of John. Places like our cafe wasn't ours anymore. I can't keep up been in here, I need to get out of here. By here I mean Florida. I was born in Florida, and even though this is my hometown, I don't know how much longer I can take. I am reviving memories, I don't know if I will ever find peace. Peace with my own self and thoughts.

I want to move out, I need to move out of Florida. It is best if I tell my parents (Gale and Maya) when I wake up tommorow, for now I will try to sleep.

The next day

I woke up to the smell of breakfast even though I didn't get most sleep I needed to tell my parents how I was feeling. So I put a jacket, go to the bathroom to brush my teeth, wash my face, and eventually went downstairs to the table.

Maya : Dear, I am making french toasts.

Charlotte : Thank you, mother.

Charlotte : Will you mind if I help you cook ?

Maya : No but -

Charlotte : Ok I will get the bread.

Minutes later...

I was a scared of telling my parents I wanted to move out. I don't know how they will react when I tell them the news. I see my father came to join us at the table since breakfast was made.

Gale : How did you slept today sweetheart ?

Charlotte : Not so good, actually.

I took a deep breath, it was time to talk to about it.

Charlotte : Mom, dad. I have been thinking past these few months and...I don't feel good.

Maya : Wh - What do you mean ?

Her voice was cracked, because she was scared.

Charlotte : Well, with everything that has been going on lately...

Charlotte : I am not good at all.

Gale : What is in your mind?

I started thinking about everything that has been happening lately.

Charlotte : John.

I tooked a deep breath.

Charlotte : I want to move out of Florida.

Maya : Sweety I know you lost John but-
