We Can Leave it All Behind

After a semi long drive, Emma turned onto a super long stone driveway that could've been a road. Her house cam into view and my mouth fell. Her house was huge!

The house was on my right, so I looked to my left and saw a huge pastures with sheep, goats, cattle, an horses roaming them.

"Emma, this is beautiful!" I exclaimed.

"Thank you. My father is to thank. Before he passed, he made all of this, then after, he gave it all to me." She smiled sadly, obviously remembering her father.

"I'm sorry for your loss."

"It's okay. It was peaceful, and in his sleep I old age."

"At least he didn't leave in pain."

"True." Emma sighed.

She pulled into the garage and got out, me following her lead. Walking through her house, my mouth was open with my eyes wandering around in awe.

"Come on, your room's up here." Emma called.

I scampered up the stairs behind her as she walked down a long hallway at the top. Stopping at one of the rooms, Emma opened the door to it. It was beautiful. I set my things down by the bed.

"Why don't you get changed into clothes you can work in far the barn, and I'll make us some lunch. There's a bathroom right through that door." She said pointing to one door, "And there is the closet." She stated pointing to another door. Then she walked out with a sweet smile on her face.

l sighed, finally letting out my strong twangy accent. I changed into the only clothes I had that were suitable for working in a barn.

I walked into the bathroom, playing with my hair. I decided I'm going to go back to my natural hair color. Grabbing my brush, I pulled it through my long hair, ugh, another thing I've been wanting to change.

I walked downstairs and to what looked like the kitchen to see Emma pouring drinks and two sandwiches on the table.

"Thank you." I said.

"No problem. Let me guess, with that accent, you're originally from 'round here."

"Yes I am." I said, sitting down by one of the sandwiches as Emma handed me a glass of milk.

"So tell me about yourself." Em said.

"Well, I was born in Nashville, but when I was 14 my family moved to just outside of Los Angeles. I died my hair black, hid my accent, and became friends with this girl Arabella Black. As the years went on, the loving parents I once had slipped away, and they started getting drunk and abusing me. By the time I was 18 it was terrible, so one night I ran away. I jumped out of my second story window, and broke my leg trying to get away, then I wandered into the city. And that's where I was almost mugged but beaten badly by an unknown guy, but I was saved by five others. Andy, Ash, CC, Jake, and Jeremy who likes to go by Jinxx. They took me to a hospital were I was fixed up, then they took Arabella and I with them to take care of us. After not too long Andy and I fell in love, the rest of the guys became brothers to me. Bella and Ash fell in love too. Then one night, I had this overwhelming urge to just leave, so I did. Now I'm here." I told my story, not even realizing a couple of tears fell from my eyes.

"Well, you're back home now. With new family." Emma said while hugging me.
