I had wanted her to leave but not with this condition, now I was worried sick, how was her father? Was he alright? Was he going to be alright? And my mother was not yet back, it was already late at night and I don’t think she would make it back home today.
The mansion suddenly felt so big, bigger than it is and quiet, it was no longer lively as it was when my mother and Ivana were here. I spaced around the balcony upstairs staring into the dead of the night, or the mansion was a bit far from some residence building. I had loved it this way, but now it is so quiet that I wish for the noise.
I had seen Ivana’s tears when my mother told her the news, it was quite disturbing. Has she stopped crying? I ran my hand through my hair. I needed to get her sad face off my head, but I couldn’t.
I took out my phone and scroll
Thank you all for reading, book two is on the way
"No Benny, you lost that right!" I heard my mother backed at the person on the other side of the line and I knew it had started again, a conversation that always repeats itself.
I spaced around the entrance of the concert hall as my eyelashes fluttered, my phone on my hand and my lips moved quickly as I spoke to the person on the other side of the line, my heart was racing, no it was beating faster than normal.“Oh Kate hurry up, else we would miss this show,” I told her quickly and my legs itching to go into the concert hall without her. This was the show I never missed for anything because my favourite person was in there, correction…the only man I admire was in there.“I know… I will be there in five minutes.” I could tell Kate was running since I could hear her quick breathing from the other side of the line.“Okay.” I
“Ivana, I am transferring.” “What?” I turned my eyes sharply at her and I couldn’t believe she had said those words. “Why?” “I am going to attend Larry High,” Kate told me softly and I blink, Larry High, my dream school, Kate was going over to the City? “It is far away from this place, why are you going?” There was fear in my eyes, I would be so bored at this place if Kate leaves, it would be boring as hell. “It is a music school in Ivana, and my music teacher recommended that school for me. My parents had made the necessary arrangements for me to go over to that place.” I could see the look in Kate’s eyes. She was excited to go, but she was sad she would be separating from me.
After Kate left, everything became so lonely, it has been only a week since she left but it felt like a year, the normal boring route began. I leave for school in the morning and go through the long boring lectures from my teacher. During the lunch break, I would stare up at the sky as if I could count the clouds since there was no one to talk to.After school I go straight to my parents' cookie shop, help a bit and then return home for the night. I could no longer eat like I used to, I lost all my appetite just like I lost the reason to smile and nothing interests me anymore, everything just seems to lose its colours to me.“Ivana.” I heard my name and turned to look at my father who had just called out my name, he was with a note on his hands and I could tell it was something about making a new recipe for his cookies.
I stepped out of the airport gate, my luggage in my hand, I took off my sunglasses and inhale the fresh breeze that runs through my face as if they were welcoming me,I was wearing a grey shirt and a black jean, another it was different from what I wore when I first came to this airport, I looked taller than that little kid that was taken away, the appearance of this place has changed and of a truth, it looks more awesome, I could tell that 14 years wasn’t a just a year that runs by.“Finally I am back.” A smile escaped my lips as I took out my mother’s picture and looked at the face of the woman I have always looked at before going to bed as a kid. “I will see you soon mom.” I put the picture back into my wallet and got into the cab that had come by to take me.
“You? What the heck!” I looked at my mother waiting to hear the reason why this lady was here and worst of all with a suitcase that looks bigger than mine and I wanted to block all the ideas playing in my head and telling me that she was coming here to stay. “Have you both met before?” My mother looked at both of us in surprise and then I watched the girl who had just stepped inside with her open her lips to speak. “We met at the crossroad,” She told my mother and then turned to me with an accusing finger I wish I could cut out right here. “He stole my taxi.” I scoffed at her words. “Your taxi?” I rolled my eyes. “Do you own any?” I sighed and I knew from the start that I would hate a lady like her. “Not tha
The room Mrs Jane had given to me was so lovely, it was covered in pink just like my fairy house when I was a kid, this was like a princess bedroom and a very beautiful one, I have my bathroom and the bed is so comfortable if this was what the City was like then I wish my parents would have to move here rather than stay over at that small town.I heard a knock on my door when I was about to start unpacking my bags and I walked over to the door and exhaled sharply to calm my excitement before opening the door.“Can I come in?” Mr Jane asked with a smile and she was too elegant to look at and beauty should be her second name.“Yes please,” It was her house and I wish she could come in anytime without asking, she was just too kind and lovely.
