She didn't knew what will happen in Arizona . She didn't expect that she would change .

She had no idea what adventures waited for her .

Chapter 1

We have moved to Arizona a week ago. However , here didn't feel like home . I couldn't get used to the house and I thought I never would. My night is full of worry . I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason . I get out of bed and just walk up and down the stairs. It's a miracle I didn't fall . I didn't even turn on a light, because I couldn't find the switch. And not only that, I wanted to find the kitchen but I couldn't. However I found the bathroom. But I'll get used to it someday.

When I woke up in the morning, I went downstairs and surprisingly I found the kitchen easily . I went in and saw my parents studying all these maps that were on the table . They hadn't yet decided where in Switzerland would they go . I just hope mom will allow me to spend the week alone. I just don't want to spend holidays with my parents anymore. I stood there thinking about my misery and didn't realise that they were staring at me .

"Good morning ." greeted me my dad that was sitting in the kitchen.

"Morning ." I said sad.

"Maybe you mean 'good morning ' ?" asked my mom and stared at me .

"Yes. So did you consider the deal I offered you ?" I asked hopefully.

"What deal ?" he asked interested.

"You see... our daughter wants to spend this week that we're going to Switzerland on her own. In a new town !"

"Hm , and why is it a deal ?" he asked even more interested.

"If you leave me alone for a week, I'll go to this stupid wedding that you want me to go."

"Watch your language my lady." she told me .

"My brother's wedding is not stupid Jennifer." he said calmly.

"Whatever... So? Do we have a deal?"

"Maybe ." he answered and turned to look at my mom.

"No , no and no. Why did you say maybe? Are you mad ? I won't leave her alone !"

"If Jennifer won't come to the wedding, my brother is going to kill us . You know that."

"Pff... And how will she manage on her own?"

"I'll find a way !" I yelled and almost dropped my bowl full of milk and cereals .

"Hey watch out with the milk! Can't you just sit like a normal person. You have to stand and eat ? " she asked me and looked at dad. "See? She will destroy the house the first day. And we just moved here !"

"Could you stop worrying for a second ? I'm 17 years old , damn it !" I burst out . I was sick of mom telling me to be carefull with the new house . Ok ... we just moved. So what ?

"Stop swearing Jennifer, or you will be grounded ." he warned me and turned to mom. " She'll be just fine . Come on."

Mom sat for about 15 minutes thinking. It was complete silence . I just hoped she could trust me more. I'm not a babe anymore.
For my relief, she sighed and said . "Ok."

I felt so happy that I just wanted to yell with joy but I stopped myself just in time. I didn't want them to know how I was waiting forward to it, so I just said. "Great."

"Are you sure about that, Jennifer? Don't you want to see Switzerland ? It's beautiful there in winter." he asked to make sure.

"Yep... I'm pretty sure that's what I want ."

The next day
2nd December

My alarm clock was ringing and ringing . I was too tired to close it . When I got sick of the sound I opened my eyes. I was surprised to see that I was sleeping in this huge room. I thought I was still back home . I thought we hadn't moved. But I quickly came back to reality. So I got out of bed and hit the alarm clock. I was mad that I woke up so early . I sat there trying to remember why I set the alarm clock so early. But I just couldn't remember. Suddenly I heard a sound from downstairs . "What the hell?!" I thought .

After a while I heard my dad screaming. "Jennifer? Are you coming to say goodbye?"

"Goodbye ?!" I thought. "What the hell is he talking about?" The anger has past and the anxiety and curiosity has taken his place. So, I went downstairs to see what's happening.

I suddenly halted . I have seen the luggages lying on the floor. At that moment I got a flashback .
"You have already packed your staff?" I asked with a little bit of anxiety in my voice.

"Yes." he answered and smiled at me. "Oh I would forgot. I have to give you money. " he remembered and pulled his wallet out of his pocket . He gave me 150 $ . I thought they were too much for just a week. He saw my reaction and told me. " I gave you some more just in case something happens. But I think you'll be fine ."

"Just don't spend the money in Junk Food. You should eat vegetables and fruits." advised me mom.

"I know mom. "

"Ok... So we're leaving Jennifer. Don't forgot to lock the door every day and especially at night." he hugged me and kissed me on the cheek .

"And don't lose your keys !" she smiled and hugged me too tight for me to breathe.

"Mom ! Mom. I can't breathe." I said breathless. She left me and I saw tears on her eyes. I just couldn't stop myself from feeling sad about her. If I was her, I think I would feel the same.

"Oh don't cry. " he told and put his hand on mom's arm. "Come on, we have to go. Jennifer? Are you going to be ok?"

"Yes, yes. I am going to be just fine."

"Ok . Bye." both exclaimed .

"Yeah, bye! Have a nice weekend!"

"Thank you. You too. If you need anything call the hotel or our cell phones ." said my mom.

"See you on Sunday !" he told me and left the house with mom. As the taxi drove off , I felt relieved that everything happened like I planned. Mom has agreed to leave me alone . I wouldn't have achieve that if dad hadn't agreed at first . I have told him about the deal a few days before and luckily, he had agreed. So we set this little plan. He acted like it was the first time he heard about that and mom bought it. So everything went as planned .

I was at last alone !

That's it ! Please send me a review if you like it so far.
