Goodbye to the City
Sonny Monroe was packing for college, she was excited and slightly nervous. She soon started humming tunelessly to herself which she did whenever she was nervous. Her mom knocked on the door and walked in.
"Oh hey Sonny, you look almost done do you need any help?" She asked smiling.
"What have I told you about calling me Sonny?" Sonny shouted. She hated being called by that name, after he broke her heart. He would call her his little sonshine, so she refused to be called sonny any longer. However her hatred for that jerk shouldn't thrown at her mom, she didn't deserve that. So she took a long breath calmed herself.
"Um, sorry mom, I didn't mean to snap at you but you know how I feel about that name." She apologized. Her mom did understand. Two years previously she had witnessed her little girl's heart being broken by that boy- Chad Dylan Cooper.
"No sweetheart it's okay, I should have remembered. I'm going to miss you so much I can't believe it's time for my baby to go to college all ready!" She said, her voice shaking as she almost broke into tears.
"Aw mom please don't cry! You should be happy for me I'm going to be a teacher." Sonny was happy that this new chapter in her life was starting; the past two years had been hell for her. Heart break, illness and death had plagued her and her family. This was all too much for her mom, she was going to miss her daughter terribly tomorrow she was going to be alone.
Sonny sighed as she sat down after a long evening, her mom had taken her to her favourite restaurant in LA. During dinner she looked like she was going to break down into floods of tears. Sonny hated seeing people she cared about crying and it made her feel terrible about moving so far away, but she just couldn't risk going to the same college as her old cast mates or anyone else from the studio after all the previous drama. Tomorrow she was going to be hundreds of miles away in Anchorage Alaska where she knew she would be finally safe.
Sonny was awake at 4am just as the light was beaming through her curtains, so she decided to watch the sunrise. This would be the last sunrise she would see from the apartment in LA. For her this sight was beautiful. The quiet, sleeping town was to soon be awake again and become the buzzing, exciting city she had grown to love.
At around 7am she woke her mother and they had their last breakfast together. Her mom cooked pancakes, Sonnys favourite. After breakfast was over they packed up Sonnys car and after a tearful goodbye Sonny made for the highway to start her new life in Alaska.
