My twilight.

My alarm carried on bleeping in it's annoying way so i rolled over and decided to give in, time to wake up. I crawled out and ran to the shower jumping in and letting the water wake me up. Life was good now, but it hadn't always been. My mum died when i was born, so i never knew her. I lived in a care home until i was 4 years old. I don't remember it at all but i went to visit it once. It wasn't a pretty site. I can tell you that i am glad i got adopted when i was 4. I was adopted by this amazing woman named fran. Saved my life she did. We didn't have much, infact she worked three jobs and sometimes there still wouldn't be enough for dinner but that didn't bother me, if i only got a packet of crisps for dinner i didn't complain cause fran wouldn't get anything. She always served me first, wait till i was full then eat the leftovers.

My life was still pretty messed up though. I always had a big gap in my life because i never had parents, and that messed me up in a big way. I lost my virginity when i was 12, to an arsehole i thought i loved. He told me he'd leave me unless i slept with him, so i said o.k. i mean i thought i loved the guy, i carried on having sex with anyone at anytime they asked, made me feel better see, made me feel like someone wanted me.

When i turned 15, i found my dad, couldn't believe it, but i did. Turns out he was a multi billionaire!! I was rich!!! My dad died about 2 months after i met him but he left me all his money and a mansion. He also left me emancipation forms, he knew he was going to die see, he had terminal cancer, and he didn't want me going into a care home. In the eyes of the law i was an adult. I lived with fran in this HUGE house. Right near my school. But after a bit fran started getting ill. She kept saying it was nothing but i can always see through her lies. She died in april. I was devastated. I felt like my life would end but then i met joe. My boyfriend, he made everything better, i love him i really do. I thought a s i switched the shower off. I gulped fighting back the tears at the thought of what i was doing this Saturday. No no, i couldn't think of that. Just think of now. That's what joe said anyway. I quickly got dressed and ate breakfast, it was july so the weather outside was nice even though we were in north London. As i walked down the streets i realised how much i loved this place, and thought again about wether i was making a huge mistake. See the thing i haven't told you yet is that i'm moving to forks, in Washington. It's were my dad is from and i really want to get to know my roots. I feel like i don't know myself and i need to learn, so even though it will hurt to leave joe, and to leave everyone, i have to do it. I walked into form to be immediately bombarded by hugs and shrieks of,

"Oh my god Layla i can't believe it's your last day"

I looked to my right to see a crying heap that was my best friend lilly. Just looking at her made me burst out crying too and we held eachother in a long wordless hug. The day past by too fast. And to soon every body was hugging me and saying their final goodbyes. Joe was staying the night so i didn't have to worry about the hardest goodbye till last.

"i'll see you tomorrow at the airport, yeah??" lilly said to me in tears,

"yeah" i agreed,

So me and joe went inside, we spent the whole night watching movies and kissing, not talking about tomorrow cause neither of us could handle it. We had agreed to break up as neither of us could do long distance. I was regretting this decision more and more as the hours wizzed by, and too soon i was standing by the terminal hugging a sobbing lilly, whilst tears were streaming down my own face.

" i love you babe and i'll never forget you" she said in her cockney accent.

"i love you too, i'll phone you every night i promise" we laughed and then i turned to face Joe. He grabbed me and kissed me passionately, like nver before, just when i thought i was going to die from the intensity he broke off and said,

"something to remember me by"

" I love you sooo much joe, no-one can ever replace you,"

"love you too, now come on you'll miss your plane"

I turned around and walked towards the gate, willing myself not to turn around. I got to the gate and allowed my self one look to see a crying Joe supporting a beyond repair lilly, with that image still in my mind, i walked off into my new life....
