Her brown eyes were a dull grey color. Her life was always boring, school, work, eat, sleep. The same thing each and everyday. She kept her curtains drawn shut along with her blinds, halting the blinding sunlight from sprawling in her room. She had one friend, Alex, who slowly but surely became more scarce, avoiding Ally at all costs. After the death of both her parents, she became depressed, moping everywhere, staying shut up in her room so she could cry where no one could see her. Her Aunt , Valerie, moved into the house until she knew Ally would be strong enough to move back with her to a small town in Vermont.
"Ally dear, have you finished packing yet" Val asks in a soothing tone, knowing how much pain Ally was going through made her act gentle towards her niece. Ally looked up from a few boxes she had been sitting behind.
"Almost" Her voice scratchy and tired from lack of sleep and crying. Val nodded al left her alone to finish packing up her things. She was sure she had run out of tears, now all she did was sob with dry, red puffy eyes. She huffed, standing up after packing the rest of her things. The moving truck had already took the large furniture, her other things would go in the back of the van.
She made her way downstairs with two boxes in her hands, she struggled a little, losing her balance a few times or more. Valerie made her way up, passing Ally and giving a small smile to reasure that everything would be okay. Yes, she was sad, but stayed strong for Ally even though losing her sister was alot to deal with. Val grabbed a few boxes , also carrying them to the van.
About an hour later they had gotten all of Ally's belongings in the van and started towards Vermont, her new home. She was scared she would fit in even less than she did in California. She feared that her life would fall apart more than it already had, and this time there would be no 'picking up the pieces' No. She would be long gone by then, helplessly floating around in a world full of pain.
Minutes turned into hours, making Ally tired, but she knew if she slept now, she wouldn't be able to sleep later. Though her planned failed when she felt a gentle shake of her shoulder, opening her eyes slowly to come facd to face with Val.
"Ally, baby girl, wake up, we're here" Ally took in the sight of the small tan cottage. It wasn't too small or too big, just a perfect size for Valerie and Allyson. Val led her inside the house, showing her around and giving her a choice of bedroom. She picked the one upstairs since it was a little bigger than the other one. The moving truck guy was already here and started bringing up her things, and she started unpacking her things immediately.
Once her room was finished she collapsed on hed bed, grabbing jewel, her teddy bear and pulling it to her chest. Maybe, she thought, maybe it would be different here, maybe she could start over and be happy agian. Just the thought made her smile, closing her eyes and drifting into a deep sleep.
Morning came to soon. Her Aunt said they had a busy day today shopping for school things and getting all settled in.
Ally's POV:
I stood up from bed. Last night was probably the best I have ever slept in a while. I grabbed a towel and took a quick shower, washing my hair and body in record time. I dried dried my hair, the curls forming naturally. I threw on a pair of pink skinny jeans and a white sweater. I heard a light knock on my door.
"Hey Ally, I was just coming to check on you, almost ready to go?" Valerie asks peeking her head through the door. She pushed it open more and stood in my door way way smiling.
"Yeah, I will be down in a sec" She left my room and I finished getting ready by sliding my boots on. I met her in the car as we drove off to get me registered for school.
When we reach the school we head straight for the main office. When we get there, another women stands at the desk with someone next to her, yet they were at an angle so I couldn't makd out the person.
"Thank You" The women says to the Secretary and begins the walk out of the office, me getting a better glance at the boy her was with her. He had blonde messy hair and hazel eyes, his body pretty toned for someone in highschool. He shot me a smile and disappeared out the door, even his smile was amazing.
After registering me for school we went shopping first for School supplies, getting extra things just incase. Then we made a finale stop at the mall for clothes. We walked around, grabbing one of almost everything, most of which I was forced to try on. I tried my best all day to keep my mind off my parents. When we passed the food court and fountain, a familiar face catches my eye, and by the looks of it, he seen me also. The boy from the office stood there with a bunch of guys and a few girls. He gave me a huge smile, turning and telling his friends something before he headed towards me.
"Your that girl I seen in the office earlier" he smiled down at me. He held out his hand.
"I'm Austin, Austin Moon"
