Days Are Numbered

The harsh Scottish winds sweeped through the streets, the rain pounded on the windows and the bitter cold air seeped through the cracks in the stone walls. The natural noise was disturbed by the soft echoes of Matt Tucks voice and the sighs of annoyance by the tall slender figure that stood in the doorway of a two story house.

It was the end of may, which meant the start of summer, yet Scotland was still going steady with the winter weather. The female figure let out a sad sigh and slumped against the wall of her house, staring longingly at the navy sky searching for the stars while taking a long drag from her cigarette. In a few hours she would be leaving for America, she knew she should be excited but after years of spending her summers in the blistering heat of L.A, she grew quickly bored and often longed for the company of the cold rain.

Her mother and father divorced when she was only 8, her father packing up and shipping himself abroad to start a new life, leaving her mother to support and care for her. Every year since, she was forced to spend 5 weeks with him and his new family - her step mother and step brother - whether she wanted to or not. Even now that she was 18 and legally an adult, she was still pushed into it by her mother who longed for her daughter to have a normal relationship with her father. Most people would love this idea but Leia could think of nothing worse, she hated the heat and the unfamiliar rules in which everyone followed, it didn't help that she was often lonely due to her lack of friends.

Stubbing her cigarette out, she turned back inside. By the door were a few suitcases and a backpack which she would take on the plane. Inside were a few sketchbooks, books to read and her ipod, she would make sure to keep herself occupied on the long and tiresome flight to her idea of hell. She silently prayed that this summer would be more exciteing than those previously.
