Months passed. Everything wasn't the same as it was when I first arrived at the palm woods.
I grabbed my suitcase & walked out the rental van my Mom had bought when first arriving in L.A . As I sat in the car, staring blankly out of the window, I knew this was the start. I waved goodbye out of the opaque glass to my smiling friends who was trying to put on a brave face and trying to mask their sadness like I had been masking my pain for years.
As the car rolled out of the palm woods parking lot, a tear spilled down my cheeks. Whilst still driving, my Mom looked over at me and smiled with tears ready to ooze out of her eyes. 'Don't cry, Sweetie.' she soothed my pain with her calm, relaxed tone 'things are looking up from here.' she reassured, focusing on the world ahead.
I stared back out at the window to my right, looking at the world as it slowly became lighter, as did the weight which was dropped on my shoulders.
To everyone who read this story,
Thank you so much. I've literally just hit 200 hits on this story, & I couldn't be more proud to be a rusher!
As I said in the last chapter, this is not the end! I have a few ideas up my sleeve for the follow up story 'Don't ever look back' which will be coming to a screen near you within the next ...day or so!:D
SO LOOK OUT FOR IT!
I'm really sad that this story is over, but all good things come to an end ...
