After All
Chapter 2
13 years Later
Haley James took once last look around the house she had called home for the past 13 years of her life. Moving to LA had given her the much needed chance to disconnect completely with her parents and build a life for herself and her daughter Karma. As much as she loved this house and the community that had embraced the two of them years ago. She knew it was time for a change which meant leaving it all behind and starting new.
Haley walked out the frot door and closed it behind her. As she made her way over to the awaiting car.
Once she got inside Haley gazed over at her daughter. Who was wiping away the tears that were falling from her eyes. As she looked out the passenger side window.
(I know you're going to miss it here. But this new job opportunity i have been given is to good to pass up. You get full control over the radio until we get there.) Haley said.
Karma James. Looked up at her mother. The 13 year old girl. Had straight black hair, dark brown eyes, sun kissed white skin, given all the time she spent outdoors. She was the short. Her mother easily towered over her. She had an athletic body type. Even though sports was the last activity she participated in given how clumsy she was. School was a priority to her. She had been a straight A student her entire life. Her personality was a strong loyalty to the people she loved and cared for. Her and her mother were mother and daughter and best friends. She wrote songs, and played guitar. She was hard working, strong, and had fun as much as possible. Living for each day. Her scholarly ambition was simple to gain admission into Standford university once she was old enough.
Her mother had to worked all her life to achieve that dream and wasn't able to because life circumstances beyond her control. Leading her to have a career as a time Karma attempted to pry into her mother's past. Haley would change to subject. So she stopped asking.
(I just don't get why we have to go all the way to North Carolina. This small town where we know nobody at all.) Karma said. Crossing her arms against her chest.
(Think of it as a new beginnning. A clean slate. In time maybe you'll start to consider that town and the people in it home too.) Haley said. As she turned on the car and pulled out of the driveway.
