Something new

Moving

It was my last day ever in London. After my dad died last month I had been living on my own in central London waiting to be told who my legal guardian will be! I found out I was going to live with my mum! First I thought that would be okay but awkward!! But then I was told I would have to leave for Sydney Australia. 'Shit' was my first thought!
My mum moved out their when I was 13 I'm now 18 . She moved because of her job, I remember the day she told me she was leaving with her 'boyfriend'. I'm gonna sound mean but I'm glade she left,I got closer to my dad.
Oh by the way my name is Abigail Rose, Abby for short. I'm an ordinary teenage girl that loves Starbucks and skittles. But trust me I'm no goody two shoes!
I started to pack my bags ready to leave tomorrow. All the memories I've made in this place came flooding back. I sat on my bed and just stared at my blank walls. Not posters were up so I could she the drawing I did on my wall with my dad when I was younger. Touching the wall I felt tears come to my eyes. Why did the world have to be so cruel and take him away from me....
My phone started to vibrate on my bed, I looked at my phone and realised it was from Jess. ( my friend)
The text read-
OMG, CANT BELIE VE YOUR LEAVING TOMORROW!! come round my house later if you want to chat! Ly don't want you to leave!! Xxxxxxxxxx

She is really dramatic some times but I love her, she's ma bitch! 😉
I got back to reality and started to pack my clothes and personal stuff around the house! I can to take as much as I want so I'm literally using every bag I can find and taking it with me full! Haha.

----------2 hours later----------
"When you get their make sure you oovoo me and the others at least every week"
I could tell that Jess was sad that I was leaving, we'd been trough everything together since primary school!
"I do any way, of course I will your ma bitch and bitches stay together!" She laughed at me but I was serious,
"I can't believe your living our dream with out me!!"
"What you mean moving to Australia and getting married to hot Aussies! That's not quite what I'm doing, Jess!!"
She can be really strange some times but so can i so yeah!
"It's close enough!!" She said the last bit in a sad way as she looked at the clock realising I'll be going home soon.
"Hey I gotta go but would you do the pleasure to drop me off at the airport tomorrow??" I sadly asked her not trying to upset her!
"Sure anything for you babe" she winked making me laugh,
I said goodnight and walked home, I had to sell my beloved car last week to finger ready to leave, it broke my heart!!

--------the next day---------

It was 6am my flight left at 11am so I had just enough time to get ready. I told Jess to pick me up at 9am so we had plenty of time to drive.
I took one last shower, washing my hair and using the last of my dads soap he had left over. Lots of my dads stuff was taken my his siblings leaving me his clothes, shower stuff and pictures. I didn't care though as they all had the sent of him bringing back happy memories.
In put on a green jumper skinny jeans and some vans, when my hair had dryer I put it in a but.
This sounds kinda sad but I went around all the rooms taking pictures of everything and the the out side of the house. My neighbours probably think I'm a right weirdo. I heard Jess pull up and get out. She hugged me so tight If it had lasted any longer it would of suffocated me! I could see she was about to cry so I said "don't worry I'll come back to visit and you can come visit when ever you want!" She just nodded and smiled at me. I went back inside and grabbed my 5 suitcase from upstairs struggling down the stairs and when I stepped out the door I saw all of my friends standing their with sad faces looking at me!! I ran to them all hugging them feeling my self starting to cry!
After I had said all of my goodbyes trying not to cry I put my last bag in Jess's car. I got in the passenger set and looked out the window at my house. Hearing my dads voice in my head saying "you know a change is a good thing, with out things changing none of use would be alive and that bastard that broke your heart would still be living in the ice age with his cold heart!" He use to always try and cheer me up after a break up, I had only had 3 but in all of them I believed it was love. I was wrong.
Bye now I was crying yet again today, Jess pulled away from the house and started to drive to the airport. My phone was buzzing from all the messages from every one saying how much they will miss me and stuff. Me and Jess talked like nothing was going to happen and that we were just going shopping or something.
We finally pulled into the drop off area, I looked at Jess seeing her cry silently. I hugged her.
"You will always be my best friend, ill never forget you, okay" I mumbled into her hair.
"Don't forget me ever, okay" I smiled, ever since seeing the fault in our stars we always said that 'okay is our alway' haha
We laughed I grabbed my bags hugged her again crying, slowly walking into the entrance waving. I finally turn around walking straight into a glass door! Shit that hurt! I could her Jess laughing behind me I turn and laugh to, I open the door laughing and wave goodbye watching her get in the car waving and laughing. That's how she'll remember me, that girl that walked into glass doors! It's better than nothing I guess!!
I walked towards a man holding my name, he smiled to me and lead me towards the loading bay and passport check. He took 2 of my bags to help me.

The plane had landed early so I got on the plane and got a window set. After about half an hour of watching people load the plane an elderly couple come and sit next to me. They smiled at me and I said hi just to be polite.
When the plane finally took off I looked out the window, I could see all of London including Big Ben, the shard, the palace and many other famous land marks. The man next to me looked out the window and then looked at me
"So why are you heading to Sydney" he sweetly asked
I don't usually tell people my life story but I felt like I could trust him and I'm never gonna meet him again so what the hell..
"Err.. My dad died a few weeks ago so I'm moving to Sydney to live with me mum and her partner"
"I'm sorry to hear it, Sydney's a lovely place that's where I live, maybe I'll see you some time"
I just nodded and looked out the window. Soon after I fell asleep.

--------12 hours later---------
I had just woken up to the sound of the air hostess tell every one to put their seat belts on as we would be landing soon. After we had landed every one started to get of the plane I waited for every one to get off. When I did I got to the bottom of the steps and saw a driver holding my name. It looked like he had all of my stuff so I just got in. I was very surprised to see a car for me waiting on the run way. So I asked the driver, "I was ordered to ma'am by you mother" he answered with his strong Australian accent. I choked my phone to see I had a text from Jess it read "I'm gonna miss my only friend that walks into doors 😉😘 txt me when u land bae"
I replied with "I've landed😘 that hurt don't you know! I think I broke my nose!!"
About a choir later the driver slowed down as he drove up a wide drive way. All I could she was this white gorgeous mansion looming house. The kind me and Jess wished we lived in together. The driver stopped and got out opening my door. I got in amaze ment. All of a sudden the front door swung open and a familiar looking lady e.g my moon came running out with open arms. She hugged me saying "OMG, Abby it's so nice to see you again!! How have you been, gosh we have so much to talk about"
I smiled and said hi and I'm fine.
"Dave take her bags into the dinning room well let her choose a room" she smiled and told me to follow.
The one thing I can't get over is how did she get the money to but this massive house! I was hopping a small family house much like my old one we're I would be treated like a normal teenager!
"There's some one I would like you to meet!!" She spoke excitedly I just nodded to tired to speak.
She hurried forward and opened the double doors (I'm guessing to the dining room) inside was a tall looking man with silvery/grey hair he had a big smile plastered on his face and I could tell he was going to be a nice person. My mum wrapped her arms sound him and looked at me with her big brown eyes. I know who I got my eyes from!
"This is Sam, we got married last year, I sent you an email telling you! " I remembered the email I smiled he put his hand out for me to shake but I just pulled him into a hug as it would be less awkward. I'm more of a hugging person as well haha.
I could see my mum smiling.
"So, we have a few rooms spare if you'd like to chose your favourite you can. If you want to decorate it just ask and we can get it sorted" my mum said sweetly.
I walked up the stairs and into the first room, it was a bedroom, well should I say apartment!! It had a ladder going up to the second level were the bed was. Up there was a large window, double bed and a small wardrobe. There was enough room for many more things though. Down the ladder was a big corner sofa coffee table and a large 45' Sony tv. I was very happy with that. I walked through a door to find a walk in closet, through another was a bathroom with a shower, bath, sink, toilet and cupboards for stuff. Under the upstairs part was a small kitchens looking are, with just enough stuff to make breakfast. I lover this room. I walked toward the double glass doors opening them. I walked into the balcony looking out onto the beautiful garden. Their was a pool, decking area anything else you would wish for.
I went to find my mum talking to Sam in the dining room I smiled.
"Hey, we would it be okay if I have the first bedroom down the hall way?" I asked
"Of cause sweety, you go and make your self at home, wonder around the neighbourhood or whatever and call use when you need to" I hugged her
"I think I'll just unpacked and go to sleep see you tomorrow, night mum, night sam" I hugged them both and headed up the stairs.
After about 1 hour of packing I gave up, it was about 10.30pm now and my phone buzzed!
'Why did you text so late! Some of use need our beauty sleep-Jess' I just laughed put my phone on charge and plopped onto my bed! A new place, new life this is going to be something new!!
