Chapter 1
I'm definitely an uncoordinated person. I have trouble multi-tasking which means the most simplest of tasks like carrying a cardboard box down the stairs can be hazardous.
Slowly stepping, putting one foot carefully below the other I make my way down the long stair case of my home. I am making good progress even if I did start at the top 5 minutes ago. As long as nothing distracts me I should be able to do this fine. "Albi! I told you not to carry anything, you will break something!" shouted my Dad from foyer below. "Its fine Dad, I got this!" I shouted back. He shouted something back but I missed it because at that moment I caught my heel on a step. My legs gave way and I tumbled down the last couple of steps hitting my head hard on the banister. My Dad and brother Harrison ran over to help me. "Jesus Albi, we should seriously consider bubble wrapping you!" muttered Harrison bending down to help me up. My dad took one look at the bleeding cut on the top of my head, pulled out his mobile and pressed 2. "I'll call ahead to the hospital to tell them you're on your way in" he said sighing and walking away. Yes I know its weird my dad has the hospital on speed dial but with an accident prone daughter like me it's a necessity.
10 minutes later I was in my usual seat in Harrison's car as he drove me to the hospital. "You better hope the doctors say it's okay for you to fly tomorrow otherwise your screwed" he said laughing. Yes as well as being unlucky and extremely clumsy I also have the worse timing ever. Only i could fall down the stairs and give myself concussion the night before I am due to move to America.
Okay I suspect you're a bit confused to what's going on here so I'll give you the whole story starting with me. My name is Albane Evangeline Henson. I'm 18 and at the moment I live in Chelsea, London. My parents are loaded! Which meant when I was younger I went to a private school. when I started this school I had an IQ test done, don't ask me what I got because to be honest I don't really care about that sort of stuff but what I do know is it was way above average. The school pushed me hard and by the time I was 15 I had finished a-levels in biology, chemistry, psychology and maths. Now being 18 I have a degree in zoology and psychology, I was the youngest person ever to attend Oxford College. With grades like mine, teachers and my parents urged me to choose a high profile profession. My dad wanted me to study medicine like Harrison and my mum wanted me to become a lawyer. I didn't want that, it's always been my dream to work with animals. They proposed I become a vet but I didn't really want to work with sick animals. I thought about it and decided that animal training would be the perfect choice for me. 6 months ago I was offered a job training animals at paramount studios, Hollywood. I chose to take it and now I'm moving out to L.A. to start my new life.
Harrison and I arrived at the Hospital; he parked up and helped me out the passenger seat. We made our way through the entrance and walked up to the reception desk. The secretary looked up "oh hello Albi, your dad called, we've been expecting you. what did you do this time?" she asked smiling at me "hey Glenda, I fell down the stairs again" I replied, ignoring Harrison's childish laughter over how friendly I was with hospital staff. "Fill this out and then Doctor Newman will come sort you out so you can go home" she said passing me a clipboard like always.
2 hours later I was all stitched up and ready to go home, the doctor said I would be fine to fly to make sure I don't hit my head again. I made my way out to the car park saying goodbye to all the staff I have become friends with during my many visits as I knew I would not be seeing them again for a while.
When I got home it was about 8 o'clock so I got ready for bed. I would need a good night's sleep for my big day tomorrow. I walked into my clean and tidy bedroom; everything was all packed in my many suitcases ready for tomorrow. Lying on my bed were my two Huskies Nook and Zeus. They are brothers and I got them when I first started to become interested in training animals. Now 4 years on they could do anything I asked. I stroked Zeus carefully, very glad I was taking them to the US with me, and they would be my only friends out there for a while. I got into bed and fell asleep quickly dreaming of my new life.
My Dad awoke me the next morning at 5! I sighed and rolled out of bed, ran down the hall and jumped in the shower to wake myself up. When I was finished I got dressed into my Jack wills trackies and Abercrombie hoody, I had to be comfy for the plane. Looking in the mirror i brushed my long dark brown hair before pulling it up into a messy bun and left my face make-up free. I gathered all my stuff from the bathroom and packed it into my main suitcase. I then packed my passport, phone, iPod, laptop and purse into my backpack.
Once I was sure I was completely packed I squished all my suitcases in the back of the range rover along with Nook and Zeus and jumped in the back. My parents sat in the front and a sleepy looking Harrison slumped next to me. It was a short silent drive to the airport. We only stopped to get Harrison a MacDonald's because he was moaning. For a 20 year old he sure did moan a lot! We soon reached the airport and everyone came in with me to help me with my cases, getting the dogs to the right place and getting my tickets. My mum was in tears by the time we reached security and even my dad looked upset. They both gave me huge hugs which made me cry and even Harrison hugged me. With one final hug goodbye they were gone and I was on my own. I wiped my cheeks and picked up my bag, ready to start my new life I thought.
Jesus Christ it's hot! That's the first thing I thought once I had collected everything from the airport and made my way outside at 5 o'clock pm. My parents had bought me a nice apartment not far from the studio and had given me money to get myself a car once out there. I walked further out into the scorching heat pushing my heavy trolley with all the cases on it and trying to stop the dogs from running off to smell every new smell. I was so wrapped up in my own world I didn't notice the crowd of paparazzi outside. I wandered who it was for about a second before I realized I was now in L.A and this must happen on a daily basis. I hailed a cab and was just fitting the cases in the back when I heard the cameras start to click. I looked up to see a familiar looking person walking fast past the cameras with some big bodyguards behind him. I sat down in the back of the cab with the dogs and read out my new address to the driver. On my way I tried to figure out who that celebrity must have been but I was too excited to think straight.
I was just starting to fall asleep in the heat of the cab when we pulled up outside a gorgeous apartment building. It was shining in the sun and I couldn't see my room but I knew there was a bed in there waiting for me so I could finally sleep. I paid the cabbie and pulled all the cases out the boot. I walked inside the apartment building and got the dogs to sit in the foyer whilst I went to pull in all the cases and put them in the lift. I was 3 floors up and I definitely wasn't risking another fall down a staircase.
Finally I made it into my apartment. I didn't bother looking around or even unpacking I literally got the dogs something to drink, stripped down to my bra and pants and then collapsed into my new bed!
