Three Months Later
Beep Beep Beep!
I woke up to my alarm clock blaring and for the first time I was actually happy to hear it. Its been three months since the day I opened my acceptance letter to NYU and they have zoomed past me. I am in an exhausted state and have to leave for the airport tomorrow and I am counting down the minutes. These past few months have been filled with preparations and parties.
Lee, like the crazy best friend she is, has basically had a mini party every week so we would never forget each other and this summer. I think that is completely insane because I could never forget her, she is practically my sister.
Beep, Beep, Beep!
Ok, I guess I really should get out of my bed and shower. I could hear a little drizzle on my window and this time I didn't curse it's existence. I have been a little more relaxed about the rain because I will leave it tomorrow and won't see it every day. Ahhh, tomorrow will change everything and for once I am not scared.
I grabbed my favorite light ripped denim shorts, all time low band tee, under wear and my shower bag and headed to my bathroom and to my shower which was calling my name. The steaming water relaxed my entire body and cleared my head. My strawberry shampoo hit me like a slap in the face which fully woke me up.
These past weeks have really been a blur to me but that doesn't mean I will forget them ever! It's just I wish they could have gone slower. Right now, the time is actually feeling like it's going in slow motion and I like the relaxation of it.
Once the water started running cold I knew I day dreamed for too long. I reluctantly stepped out and almost killed myself on the wet tile but my dad installed a shower bar so I would avoid an early death. I silently thanked my father. I finished washing my face and getting dressed at 9:00 which by then my stomach was killing me for avoiding feeding it. Since there has been so much to do in the recent past my mom or Lee have gotten me up at an un-godly hour and my stomach has become accustomed to getting fed very early.
Today was the first day in practically this whole summer that I got to get up at my own time because Lee left for southern California yesterday to get settled in her apartment while my mom had some business thingy for her job at the local flower shop. My mom has this weird passion for flowers but at least its not some crazy, insane job and it pays well.
The house was filled with a silence like no other because it wasn't awkward and it wasn't comfortable. It was almost like a good bye that no one wanted to be said because tomorrow I would be leaving the place I have been calling home for the past 18 years for what? That's what really scares me because I don't know who I will meet and what will happen there. I shouldn't be getting worked up over this, I'll just get some cereal to distract myself.
The kitchen had no life or personality today because my parents were re-doing the kitchen to update it. I felt like I didn't know this room at all because there was primer up and half the cabinets were torn out leaving one half completely naked. Searching the fridge I found that there was barely anything edible left in this kitchen besides pizza, cereal, pasta, and a sandwich, wow so many choices! I grabbed the cereal and milk and set off for the couch since the table was gone and I must have looked like a ninja or something going through all of the wood and junk trying to get to the couch in one piece. I successfully made it without injuring myself and I felt a sense of accomplishment so I ate my cereal with pride.
While I chewed nosily to myself I started to wonder where my dad was because he always had something to say about how loud I chewed. Once I thought about it I remembered my mom saying my dad was going out to get more materials for the kitchen because they didn't get enough cabinets. Leave it to Renee to not order enough cabinets even after double checking how many they needed!
Being taken out of my little rant I realized I finished all of my cereal and I didn't feel like eating more so it was time to wash the dishes. There weren't a lot of dishes thankfully because we haven't eaten any real meals together in a while but we will tonight for one last dinner together until I leave.
Ahh, yes! I was going to New York, finally. I will get to do something with my life and not stay in this small town alone. Hmm that reminded me, I need to finish packing! Not major but it needs to get done for me to have everything.
On my dash to my room I banged my big toe on almost every step which made me fall down in pain at the top of the stairs. Great just what I need for my first day in New York, a broken toe! The stinging pain finally decreased after 10 brutal minutes.
When I entered my room I burst out into tears but not from the pain that started up again but from the emptiness in my room and the reality of it all. I was leaving the one place I have felt safe for my entire life no matter what, and for what? A college dorm which I could be sharing with a druggie or a person with an anger issue? Or what about if I fail my classes or not make any friends? Oh, god! I don't know what I am doing at all!
My little panic attack lasted only 5 minutes but it was long enough for me. Once I fully recovered I decided to finally packed the rest of my stuff like my books, cds, and dvds so I would have some entertainment for the first couple days that I couldn't go shopping.
Ughhhh, shopping! That is like number one on my list of most hated things to do. I hate going to the stores but it's the only convenient way to get clothes and other necessities. I just hope I won't be paired up with a shopaholic as a roommate.
When I was done putting all the things I can't live without except my cell phone in my Roxy bag I took a long look at my room. It was stripped of all its belongings and was filled with suitcases instead. My mom all ready started putting my furniture in storage because she was going to make in a craft/ guest bedroom for when I visited. Once I was done reminiscing, I felt the need to read Pride and Prejudices for some reason so luckily that was the top book in my suitcase. I flopped onto my mattress since it was the only thing in here not a suitcase, and started reading one of my favorites.
I awoke to my phone playing Just Dance by Lady Gaga which could only mean Lee was texting me. I hurried to get my phone out of my pocket since I haven't talked or texted her since yesterday morning when she left and it was now… whoa 6:47! I guess I dozed off while reading even thought that book has never bored me.
One New Text Message From: Lee x)
Heyyyyy! Long time no talkie. Miss u tons! Whats up?
Lee XOXO
Hiiiiiii! Miss u too! I was reading, so what r u up to in Cali?
Bellsy XOXO
Sight Seeing! Omg, its so pretty! Oh that reminded me, LOOK!
Lee XOXO
Lee sent an amazing picture of the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset and I must say, wow.
That's gorgeous Lee. I can't believe I am leaving tomorrow for NY. I am starting to get nervous.
Bellsy XOXO
Oh Bells, don't worry, you will do great! I bet the boys will be lining up to ask you out.
Lee XOXO
Haha, prob not, but I bet there is already a line for you.
Bellsy XOXO
It's true, Lee always was the prettier one but every time I brought it up she would say I am stupid for not seeing my own beauty. She is always tan and toned and her hair is always gorgeous. Lee is very fashion conscience and she knows how to dress her body so it's no wonder why the guys always asked her out at school. I was always the wall flower waiting for a guy to ask me out but that never happened and I knew exactly why. No one wanted a plain jane, they wanted someone who was beautiful, not boring.
No there isn't, I gotta go eat. Txt me tomorrow!
Lee XOXO
Oh yeah it's getting pretty late, I think I should eat too. I dashed to the kitchen but forgot about my sore toe so the slightest bump her like you-know-what. With the stinging pain taking over, I crawled to the fridge to find junk. I found pasta, a half eaten sandwich, and cold pizza and decided pasta looked the most appetizing and safe. I grabbed myself a glass and poured some milk to go with my pasta and by the end of getting everything standing on one foot I was too tired to go to the couch so I hopped on the counter and ate there.
Once I was done eating which took me forever because I was trying to concentrate on the food and not the pain, I saw it was 7:43 and thought that I should get some rest because tomorrow would be a big day. I would have to get up at 4:30 for a reason god only knows and I bet it still confuses him! Also I probably won't get any sleep after the plane ride because I will be settling into my dorm.
I changed into my pajamas the best I could without causing myself further pain and then settled in a ball in my 10 year old mattress. I couldn't help but worry more if I was making a mistake going to college so far away. Sleep was slowly taking over and I could only wish it would come faster because I was starting to freak myself out.
Sleep finally took over but my dreams were covered in my fear of New York.
