A/N Hi Guys this is my first story ever. Reviews would be very much appreciated. This is a bad first chapter but it will get better. :) Thanks
24 year old Amanda Colbert stepped off the airplane onto the ground of New York City. Did it feel different than the ground at home? Or was she just being silly? She let out a sigh of relief. She was here. She was actually fulfilling her dream to become a reporter in New York. She had wanted to become a reporter ever since she was little.
She was running down the street to her work building. She was late on her first day of work. Bursting into the door she caught the attention of everyone in the room. Smiling shyly she said, "I'm so sorry I'm late." Rushing to explain she continued, "There was an accident, and then the coffee line was longer than usual, and I spilt my coffee and"
"You weren't late we all just got here ourselves." An older man cut her off. "I'm Hank. I don't think we've formally met."
Extending her hand to meet his she said, "Amanda Colbert. It's nice to meet you."
"If you'll follow me I'll show you to your desk." The man said casually.
Looking down at the desk in front of her she replied, "Well I'd better get to work."
She settled down to the busy life of New York and eventually started to like it. You certainly couldn't say life was dull, that was for sure. After 6 months of straight working she decided it would be good to take a small vacation for a week. Her work had been telling her to take a break for the past month but she needed to finish her report. Now that she was done with that She felt she deserved a vacation. Besides it was time she payed a visit to her aunt and uncle in England. She hadn't seen them since she was 16.
Breathing in the fresh air she smiled. She didn't realize how much she needed a vacation. England smelled a lot different than New York. It smelled like flowers and gardens and fields and everything wonderful. New York smelled like cars and motor oil and newly painted buildings.
Walking up to the door of her aunt and uncle's little cottage she knocked and smiled to see her aunt for the first time in 8 years.
"Amanda!" Her aunt exclaimed overjoyed.
"Hi Aunt Debi." She said leaning in for a hug.
"My you've grown! Has it really been eight years?"
"Yeah I know it seemed like we just saw you yesterday. I'm glad I got to come up for a visit." She said looking behind her aunt at her uncle who had just appeared.
"Uncle Mark!" She said pushing past her aunt to hug him.
"Hey! Well look at you all grown and looking like a proper lady." Said her uncle.
"I may be grown but I don't think I'm a proper lady." She said with a giggle. "I'm so glad to see you both." She said smiling.
After visiting with them and relating all that had happened in the eight years, Her aunt got up to make dinner and her uncle decided to watch some TV.
"If you don't mind I think I'll go on a walk. England seems so beautiful I can't help but want to get out for some fresh air."
"Oh sure sure. You might want to take the road to the right. There's some pretty scenery that way and less traffic." Suggested her aunt.
Whoosh! After running through the field she collapsed on the soft green grass. There was not a cloud in the sky and it was a beautiful day. A soft breeze swept across her face making the hot summer day just a little more tolerable. It was so peaceful she could just fall asleep...
