Its strange how fate works, its ability to bring people into your life you never thought would be there, you learn to care for them and you can't imagine your life without them either, and then one day there gone, probably never see them again.
I couldn't believe I was starting my new life in Settle. I brought my new apartment just before I left collage, knowing I would need it straight away, I would of gone back to forks, to live with Charlie, but I can't, it would make me remember the best thing to happened to me. Even though they are no longer there, the ghosts of our past still are. I wonder everyday, if any of them remember me, if any of them wish everyday that maybe one day we will see each other again, like I do.
I jumped as my thoughts were interrupted by a knock at my door, "its unlocked!" I shouted knowing it would be the delivery man, with my very few possessions. My apartment already had the basics such as a sofa, and bed…, so I really didn't need that much. The delivery man had just finished placing my last box in the living room, then he was gone. I was left alone, in my new apartment, to finish starting my new life.
All I felt like doing was to start my short story I had to do, to send to the publishing company, before they could hire me. The job I'm applying for is perfect, I get to work from home, which means I can write at my own pace and I only have to go to the office to hand in my manuscript. I had just dug out my laptop from one of the few brown boxes the vacated my living room, and I was ready to lose myself in my own fantasy world.
I was pulled back to reality, by my stomach growling, I looked at my watch, noticing what I thought to be only a few minutes turn into 3 hours. I decided to order Chinese takeout and relax the rest of the night.
I opened my door 10mintues later, to be welcomed by the smell of Chinese food at my door, as I was paying, I saw that someone was moving in down the hall to me, I only saw her back, but there was something about her, I felt as if I knew her from somewhere.
The rest of the night I spent trying to figure out who she was, if I had, where had I seen her before. She was short and had short black hair, it reminded me of her, my pixie best friend, but I couldn't be her, could it?
I woke the next morning on the sofa, I must of fallen asleep there. I went over to the kitchen to make some breakfast, and realised that I didn't have any food. I smartened myself up, brushed my hair, and got some money. When I opened my apartment door, and at the same time the door from across the hall open, and there she was, the pixie from my past. It really was her.
