CHAPTER ONE : MOVING

Departing san Francisco is just so distressing I grew fond of this place, leaving all my friends behind is another heart-rending thing I just wish things could have been different! Too bad I won't be able to see my cute neighbour Kyle  every morning before going to school.

'' Amelia, have you finished packing your thing's '' dad calls out.

( He just brought me out of my thoughts )Am done dad just packing my shoes, I yell back at him.

I like it here tori and I shared some good memories

Tori is my best friend we've been friends since we were 6 because that's when my family moved to San Francisco my dad is American while my mum is Zambian they met here in college

Did I mention Tori's mum and mine  Were really good friends too in college, Tori and her mum used to visit us every Christmas holiday but since my parents  divorced Christmas has never been the same anymore

''Amelia!! Am going to miss you so much It's such a shame your moving to Denver, I was planning on doing a lot of things with you this spring holiday season'', said tori as she just arrived

Aww, I'll miss you too tori and just because am  Moving to Denver doesn't mean we won't get to see each other we will still visit each other, I say to her.

Tori helps me put my things behind dads truck

'Amelia we have to get going' says dad.

Tori and I exchange hugs, It hurts to leave her here I just wish we weren't moving.

Ava locks the door and greets tori and heads to the car, well I guess this is goodbye for now, I'll miss you.

I get in the car as well and sit in the backseat Ava and dad are in the front seat we start driving away and I plug in my headsets and listen to one of my favourite songs beautiful scars by Maximilian and I sing along to the lyrics

Broken all the pieces I've seen down in different ashtrays

Oh, but what is lost ain't gone

No, you can't just let go

'Cause it's a part of you that will make you strong

Embrace your flaws

I'm not gonna fight back what I've become

Yeah, I've got bruises where I came from

But I wouldn't change if I could restart

I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars

I've been going way too hard on myself

Guess that it's the reason that I'm feeling like hell

But I wouldn't change if I could restart

I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars

I went down a road that only got me nowhere

I've seen every corner, every inch of this place

Being all alone got me thinking

Maybe overthinking

That what is lost ain't gone

No, you can't just let go

'Cause it's a part of you that will make you strong

Embrace your flaws

I'm not gonna fight back what I've become

Yeah, I've got bruises where I came from

But I wouldn't change if I could restart

I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars

I've been going way too hard on myself

Guess that it's the reason that I'm feeling like hell

But I wouldn't change if I could restart

I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars

Hide these beautiful scars

Hide these beautiful scars

I'm not gonna fight back what I've become

Yeah, I've got bruises where I came from

But I wouldn't change if I could restart

I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars

I've been going way too hard on myself

Guess that it's the reason that I'm feeling like hell

But I wouldn't change if I could restart

I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars

Hide these

I ain't gonna hide these

Hide these

Hide these beautiful scars

No

The city we live in is fading as we drive away from it, I  see ava laughing at a joke dad just made,

I feel like we are going to take forever to reach our destination, my dad getting a new job is changing a lot of things

~~

After some hours I decided to sleep because am really exhausted and already tired of sitting in the car I hope we will get there soon because I'm getting car sick

''Wake up Amelia we are here ''!

Ava keeps shouting in my ears, I get out of the car and take a look at the place I must say it's nice we have a huge backyard and a Jacuzzi

The kitchen is a medium one but it looks amazing, the living room interior design has a modern and mid-century design I love the design.

'let me go take a look at the bedrooms' Ava utters.

I hear her calling from upstairs saying she says she's getting the bigger room I don't care though I think this medium room is nice for my liking it has purple and white walls and purple is my favourite colour I don't mind getting this room I start unpacking all my things and putting them in place

I think I've done a nice job decorating my room am super tired and hungry

I head downstairs and see ava massaging dads head on the couch, that's odd

she only does that if she wants something, today is Saturday and I have one day till Monday the day I go to a new school.

Guess dad already read my mind and ordered pizza and it will be here in 10 mins am starving and can't wait for the pizza to arrive

We hear a knock at the door I think that must be the pizza delivery guy I'll go get the door dad says a few minutes later he comes back with two large boxes of pizza and it's my favourite pepperoni

***

When we are done eating I head upstairs to my room and lock my door,

well since mum left us everything has never been the same I can see dad isn't as happy as he was but he hides it

I guess she had her reasons for leaving. whenever Ava and I tried asking about why they divorced dad always says things just didn't work out, I lay on my bed and start listening to blinding lights by the weekend on my iPhone as I fall asleep and the song keeps playing in my ears

I've been tryna call

I've been on my own for long enough

Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe

I'm going through withdrawals

You don't even have to do too much

You can turn me on with just a touch, baby

I look around and

Sin City's cold and empty (Oh)

No one's around to judge me (Oh)

I can't see clearly when you're gone

And I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights

No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night

Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust

(Hey, hey, hey)

I'm running out of time

'Cause I can see the sunlight up the sky

So I hit the road in overdrive, baby, oh

The city's cold and empty (Oh)

No one's around to judge me (Oh)

I can't see clearly when you're gone

And I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights

No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night

Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust

I'm just calling back to let you know (Back to let you know)

I could never say it on the phone (Say it on the phone)

Will never let you go this time (Ooh)

I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights

No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

(Hey, hey, hey)

I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights

No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

I can't sleep After tossing and turning

Around I decided to do one thing that will help me sleep I decided to scroll through insta and see new updates from Holden Andrew's every girl daydream his muscular with blue eyes and black platinum hair

His well known because his parents are billionaires and are actors too I've been crushing on him since I watched a lot of TikTok videos of him dancing tori and I used to follow one of his parent's t.v.shows just to catch a glimpse of him every day It's as funny as it sounds, Tori and I   tried creating fandom accounts and send him tons of messages but he would never reply to any of them , After some hours I start yawning and decided to sleep
