Chapter One

Aria walked into the open planned small apartment. She studied the walls seeing the white walls which reflected well with the patio doors allowing in the nesccary light to make the room feel like home. She opened the doors revealing the small hidden garden behind the house and the plants, which only reminded her of her mother she left behind. She went back into the house observing the kitchen and seeing how clean it appeared to be, with recent appliances connected on the worktops. She went into her bedroom, a double bed covered with appropriate pillows to suit the light blue theme that was covering the walls and the duvet cover. Overall her new home seemed pleasant and felt like it would be suitable. Apart of her just wanted to go home and be with the people who loved, who needed her. But she knew if she stayed one by one they would disappear from her life.

She went back to the car, beginning to put the items from the backseat into the house into the designed places. First the clothes that she laid out, grabbing the hangers and putting them away into the closed door wardrobe. She went and got her toiletries and put these inside the bathroom in the small wooden cabinet doors that were provided. She also got her photo frames and put them at either side of her bed on the cabinets, knowing that when she slept they would always be close by.

After she had sorted out what she could she grabbed her bags and her keys locked up before heading into the town. She had brought along her savings account which supplied enough for the journey down here, nesccary items and the rent on the apartment for several months, though she soon knew this money would ran out and a job would be the way forward. With a job brought distraction, something Aria needed to stop her thinking of her old life, her old home.

She walked around, beginning to understand how the town worked, and how the roads connected, almost not having to use the small map she took along with the journey. She decided not to drive, wanting to get used to be around others and also feeling like she could do with the fresh air after the drive she had just done. She went into a small shop, picking up a few pieces of fruit and calculated the price of the items inside her head taking them to the til and handing the correct change over. "You're new here right?" the shopkeeper asked. He had owned this shop and grandparents before him. He knew everyone that lived in the village and always could spot a new face.

Aria shyly nodded. This was the first person she had spoken to and it only scared her more. "Yes" she smiled. She didn't know what to say. Not too much.

The shopkeeper could see she was nervous and he was used to the new faces feeling scared or worried. "I'm bill. And my wife over there" he pointed to a small woman who was filling some stock up and turned her head sharply smiling. "Her name is Sandra" he smiled. Aria smiled back. She was beginning to feel more comfortable around this man.

"I'm Aria" she waved the man's hand as he extended his arm towards her space.

"So what brings you here?" he asked. He had heard many different stories of how people had moved away, different colleges, simply found a place and just left. He wouldn't be surprised.

Aria shrugged gently, she wanted to say the truth but even she didn't know the truth. "I guess, it was time for me to move on" she simply replied. She didn't want to give too much away but enough for him to leave her alone for the time being. He simply nodded at her knowing she wasn't going to be saying anymore to her tonight.

Aria went to leave when she quickly turned around heading towards the counter and seeing Bill look up at her re-entrance back near him. "Do you know if anywhere has any jobs available?" she felt rude for asking but felt like this was the first person in this town she trusted enough to be rejected by.

He smiled, grabbing a piece of paper and writing down an address. Handing her the torn paper and letting her breath deeply as she thanked him before quickly hurrying out the shop and heading towards the address provided. She was lucky enough to find out that the place was a small restaurant old fashioned styled. She walk into the building, the place was small diner, several people sat around the bar that was shaped in an oval. She noticed the workers were wearing a light pink uniform and were all friendly and smiling at her customers. She walked over to the bar and sat down at a chair waiting to be served and could then ask for the job. She received a drink on the house on her new arrival to the town and began chatting with the manager as she discussed several other jobs she had already had and her interest and hobbies.

"Well, your hired" the manager smiled, shaking her head. Aria looked disbelieved that he had just hired her. She didn't hand him no ID, no proof of what she was saying. She finally felt safe in this town; it was a caring, respectful and delightful atmosphere with genuine people.

"When do you want me to start?" Aria asked. She hoped her hours would be flexible and would be easy. She hadn't had many jobs in the past and didn't expect to go into long hours straight away.

He looked at the calendar flicking gently through the pages quickly before responding to her question. "Can you start tomorrow, and then I'll give you a schedule of your hours? The normal work period is 4-10" he informed her, seeing her nod along. She was happy with that.

She left the diner, with a bag full of her uniform that the manager, Paul, had handed her and asked for her to wear tomorrow night and every other night at work unless told not to do so, she put the keys into the apartment and gently fell onto the sofa, pulling her feet up and cuddling into the pillows behind her. The sound of her phone vibrating in her bag alerted her and she crept up pulling out the phone and seeing the message.

"You can go so far before I find you Aria – A"
