Days Are Numbered

The car ride to her new home was filled with the busy chatter of her father and his endless chain of questions regarding her flight, how college was going, how her love life was. Ben understood her lack of interest and unwillingness to talk, so he eventually began to occupy her father with sports talk. While her mind was occupied with the icy blue eyes that she had come in contact with merely hours before.

While her father and brother took her bags inside, she sat on the bench that decorated the front garden and lit a cigarette, falling into a happy day dream.

Her first few days in L.A followed a familiar pattern, every day she would walk the mile long journey to the small diner she had visited the year before. She would spend a few hours sketching, chatting to the servers and drinking countless cups of coffee before heading off to look around the music stores. She would eventually end up at the beach, listening to her headphones and reading a book. By the time she walked through the door of her fathers house, she was just in time for dinner. Every day followed the same routine, the same faces, it began to bore Leia. Until the fifth day, when everything changed.
