A/N: Hello!

Thank you all so much for the kind words!

I'm so thankful for your feedback!

In an attempt to repay you, I thought I'd give you a new chapter.

Here you are, my Dearies :)

Chapter 5

The next week and a half seemed to drag on forever. School was awful. Patzy was home sick for three days and she didn't return to school until Friday. I had two tests; one in Biology and one in Geometry. My two worst subjects. On Wednesday I hate a meeting with the counselor and the principal. We had to work out a few things before I left. By Wednesday afternoon, everything was set. I was ready to go.

Thursday was my last day at school. It was almost like any other day. I didn't tell anyone that I was leaving. They wouldn't care. It wouldn't change their life. I didn't really have any friends which made my last day more peaceful. I wasn't bombarded with "goodbye"s and "I will miss you so much"s and I didn't really mind. I gave my textbooks back to my teachers and returned any books I had checked out to the school library. The final bell rang and I headed to my locker. I pulled an empty plastic bag out of my back-pack and quickly cleaned out everything inside. I got all of my stuff together and jumped on the bus after saying goodbye to Patzy.

Once I was home, I put my back-pack in my room and entered the kitchen where my mother and Wayne were seated.

"How was your last day of school?" She asked.

"It was alright."

"Good." She smiled. "We have a surprise for you."

A surprise? They had already given me so much. "What is it?" I questioned with excitement.

"While you were at school, we decided to pay your cell phone bill for you. We wanted to be able to stay in touch with you so we upgraded your plan too."

"No way!" I exclaimed. I had an iPhone, but hadn't paid the bill in months. I mostly used it for listening to music.

I gave my mother and Wayne a hug and they both smiled at me.

"We love you." Said Wayne.

"I love you guys too."

I went back into my room and pulled the phone out of the drawer. I texted Patzy to try it out.

Me: Hey! Parents paid my phone bill for me!

After a few minutes, she texted back.

Her: Cool! Now I can text you once you leave. :)

I set my phone down on my nightstand and took a seat on my bed. I hadn't realized how tired I was until just then. I decided to take nap. I didn't wake up until dinner and as soon as I was finished eating, I excused myself and went back to my room where I fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning and checked my phone. It was 10:00 am. I got out of bed to find that I was till in my clothes from the previous day. I peeled off the dirty pair of skinny jeans and MARVEL pullover. I entered my bathroom and turned on the shower. The warm water felt good and I stayed in there for a while. Once I was clean, I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my body and another around my head. I walked into my room and found a pair of sweatpants and an old jumper. I dried my hair and threw the towels in the dirty laundry basket in the bathroom closet. I brushed my teeth and washed my face.

I left my room and entered the kitchen.

"Well, look who's awake." Taunted my mother.

"I guessed I was tired." I chuckled as I poured myself a bowl of Frosted Flakes.

Wayne walked in and dropped a slice of bread in the toaster. "Are you ready to start packing?" He asked.

"I guess." I hadn't packed anything yet. I was waiting until the last second so all the laundry would be clean.

"We can work on that together today." My mom assured me.

I finished my cereal and put my bowl in the sink. I walked into the laundry room and found my laundry basket full of freshly cleaned clothes. I carried them into my room and set the basket on my desk. I then reached under my bed for my big suitcase. It was a green suitcase I bought at a thrift shop. It had a vintage look to it and I couldn't help myself. I had only used it once on a trip to Michigan. I usually kept it under my bed stuffed with books I didn't have shelf room for. I emptied it out and started going through the laundry basket.

I rounded up four pairs of jeans all varying in cut and color. I grabbed my leather pants out of my dresser and placed each pair of pants neatly in the suitcase. I grabbed my MARVEL pullover from the ground where I had thrown it that morning. It was dirty, but I couldn't leave it behind. I found several t-shirts. Each had a different picture from one of the many fandoms I was in; Doctor Who, MARVEL, Disney, and the Hunger Games. I also packed my Christmas jumper my mother had bought me last year for the Holidays. I also grabbed several pairs of underwear and the only two extra bras I had.

My mother entered with bags containing the clothes we purchased at the mall. She had been keeping them in her room so I couldn't wear them until I got to London. We pulled the tags off of each article and placed it in my suitcase. She went into my closet and came out with three jackets. She placed those in the case also while I grabbed a few pairs of pajama pants and some old shirts and packed those.

Soon enough, we were finished packing. We put my toiletries in the front pouch of my suitcase and rolled it out to the family room. Next, we pulled out an old back-pack for carry-on. I packed my laptop and charger, a few books, my iPhone and laptop chargers, and a set of comfortable clothes.

Finally, we were finished. "Are you excited?" My mother asked.

"Of course I am!" I exclaimed. "I'm going to London!"

My mother smiled and pulled me into her arms. "I love you so much and I'm going to miss you."

"Ditto." I said with a smile.

Did you enjoy?
