FINDING HOPE

CHAPTER 1 BPOV

I placed the cardboard box down beside the coffee table and looked my own place, it wasn't much but it was mine. It was a one bedroom apartment with an open kitchen and living room..and big patio doors leading to a was bare but hopefully i will remedy that soon. there was 3 large windows in the living space that gave plenty of light and hardwood sand covered floors. the kitchen was modern all stainless steele and red backdrop..i loved it. the bedroom wasn't big but it wasn't small either. it had one large window covering most of the far wall so pleny of open light. the bathroom was stunning all navy blue tyles with a shiny glimmer and stainless steel appliances..a big shower that was screaming for me to jump in to it.i couldn't wait.

I walked put on to the balcony and looked over the city of seattle...it was breathtaking..the space needle directly in my line of site. the building i lived in was about ten stories high and i lived on the top floor, i truely did love it a smile on my face i walked back to the living room and sat on the lush cream sofa all cushions and relaxed thinking over how i had got here...

But when the memories came i just couldn't hold it in and cried so fucking hard..it wasn't fair none of it was fair...betrayed by people i trusted most in my life what do you do when that happens how do you act..i'll tell ya how i acted i had it out and left without glancing back..and now its time to start over. easier said than done right...yeah fucking great...

so lost in my thoughts i barely heard the knock on the door..i jumped up and opened it..only to be plowed in to by some unknown force, all i heard was "oh my god my name is alice and im your next door neighbour alice from across the hall..ooooh you are sooo pretty ..its sooo nice to meet are gonna be freat friends" all this said so fast i barely registered it..chuckling i grabbed the top of alice's arms and pushed gently back..she had short spikey black hair, high cheekbones and sparkling blue eyes..she was tiny..now im small standing at 5'4 but she was about 5'1 to 5'2 she had an almost pixie quality look about her and absolutely made feel plain standing beside her, but my past, the insecureties ran deep. I sighed put a smile on my face and I stuck my hand out to shake hers and said "hi alice my name is Bella"

so thats the first chapter hope you like :)
