I would die for you, but I won't live for you -Niall Horan au

thirty-six

I walked out of the salon with my new hair. It wasn’t dyed or anything, just short. It was now sitting just above my shoulders. Next on the list of changes was finding a new home. I was tired of living right in the city and I needed a change of scenery.

I called up a retaliator and told her what type of house I wanted and the price rang I had in mind. I also told her that I wanted it as soon as possible. She agreed and told me she would call back as soon as she could. “Might as well get home and start packing.” I mumbled as I got in the car. I made sure to grab some boxes from the grocery store on the way home.

This was a good change for me. I could feel it. I would meet new people, find a new man who would love me as much as I loved him and have a life outside of school, work and the boys. I knew I wouldn’t be able to love anybody else as much as I loved Niall and I would never forget it but the feelings will dull once I find the right person.

I got home and started putting things in boxes right away. It was only an hour later that the retaliator called me back. “Would you like to come look at some houses that I’ve found?” she gave me the addresses and told me she would be waiting for me at the first house. It was at least a twenty-minute drive and is just right outside the city.

I pulled into the driveway and just by looking at the house I knew it was the one. It was a small looking house on the outside but so cute. I met the retaliator at the door and she took me on a tour through the house. It was a house with two floors, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, living room and a basement.

“I’ll take it.” I said as soon as she explained things to me. I didn’t even need to see the other houses. This was exactly what I wanted. I felt a new confidence as I signed the papers and handed over a deposit. I was finally getting out of that teenage stage and becoming an adult.

“The people are already moved out so you can move in whenever you’d like.” She said, handing over the keys. I thanked her and walked out the door. I got in my car and was ready to go when my phone rang. “Hello?” I answered.

“Hello, is this Payton?” A female voice said on the other end. “It is.” I said. She sounded British, but I had never heard her voice before. “My name is Sophie and I work for the London Modeling Agency. Eleanor Calder showed us a few pictures of you and we thought you’d be great for the company. Would you mind coming down this Sunday so we could talk?”

My breathing must have stopped. This could not be happening right now. “Yeah! Of course!” I replied. “Perfect. I’ll email you with the details.” I gave her my email and said bye. I quickly rushed home and called Riley. I didn’t care about the long distance fee.

“Hello?” she answered. She sounded so tired. I had almost forgotten about the time difference. “I’m sorry if I woke you but I have to tell you something.” I told her. She cursed at me for waking her up as she always did and asked what it was I wanted to tell her. “So, I bought this cute little house, and a modeling agency called me and said I’d be perfect for them!” I exclaimed.

“That’s amazing!” she cheered, sounding more awake then before. I was happy. I had forgotten all about what happened with Niall. Well, I hadn’t forgotten, I just did enough to take my mind off of it for a little while. “I’m coming down tomorrow to get my stuff so I’ll help you pack. My cousin is gonna come down the day after and help me bring my things back. Sound good?” Riley continued.

“Yeah, perfect.”

I said bye and got ready for bed. I had a pretty eventful day today. It started off horrible with the whole Niall situation but by the end of the day it was pretty good. I needed this. It was about time I had some good things in my life.

Change is good.
