CHAPTER 1 HOPE MONROE’S POV. I was staring at my luggage thinking whether I forgot something, and then it stuck to my mind that I forgot to put my baby shoes in my luggage. Yes, baby shoes, they are very special to me because they were the last memories of my grandfather left for me. I was 6 years old when I saw him last, he died in a plane crash while he was travelling back to San Francisco from here. I miss him a lot, he was the best grandfather ever. The baby shoes were his gift for my sixth birthday and the next day he died, that news broke my mother, it took her months to recover from his death. She loved him so much and she always tells me that her father was the kindest person she ever saw and he was a very good human. The way she talks about him always makes me think how much she loves her father and how sad she is to lose him. My father was so supportive in those moments, he never left my mother's side and helped her get through it. “Hope!” I heard my mom yelling for me from downstairs, I looked around for my shoes but I can’t find them anywhere. I began opening all my drawers as I began searching for them and in my closet but I couldn’t find them, they weren’t there anywhere. “Where are they?” I bend down to see whether they are under my bed to see nothing there. I tried to remember where I last saw them but I couldn’t remember, “Hope!” Mom walked inside my bedroom while I was searching for them. “What are you searching for?” she asked, watching me search for them, “I can’t find them!” I said as my eyes began filling with tears, “Can’t find what?” she asked, grabbing my arms, “My baby shoes!” I said with tears filled eyes, My mom’s eyes softened looking at my state, she placed her hands under my chin and wiped my tears while looking at me, “I put them in my luggage, don’t worry!” she said with a smile on her lips, A smile made its way up to my lips when I heard what she said, “Thanks mom,” I said as I wrapped my hands around her waist and hugged her. She placed her hand on the back of my head while smiling at me. “Sophia! We are getting late,” We heard my father yelling from downstairs, “Come, let’s go,” She said while picking up my luggage, I took my remaining luggage and we began walking down the stairs. I noticed my father’s men taking our luggage out, I saw my father walking out of our kitchen towards the truck. “Robert!” My mom called him while we stopped down from the stairs, he turned around and walked towards us, “Let me take this,” he said, taking my luggage and walking towards the truck. I and mom followed him outside, “Sir, everything is loaded,” one of my dad’s men said to my dad, I watched my dad nod his head and turn to us. “Get in,” he said looking at us while walking around to the driver’s seat and opening the door, my mom opened the front door and climbed while I sat in the back seat. My dad started the engine and began driving from my house as I watched outside through the window my childhood memories rushed to my head. I was born and grew up here, I’m going to miss all those things I once loved here, my friends, my school and everything. All those memories just flashed in front of my eyes, while my dad drove us from the streets, I don’t know how will I manage to accept my new life which is waiting for me in folks. **** It’s been two days since we shifted to Forks, our new house is better than the last one, which to be honest is very good and I had an admission to the new college, which is exciting. I just hope everything goes well as planned, having this in my mind I stripped off from my dress and wore my nightwear. I climbed onto my bed and slipped into a deep slumber. *** “Hope!” I heard my dad yelling and banging on the door, “s**t!” I quickly got up from my bed and rushed towards the washroom, I took my brush and put toothpaste on it, while placing into my mouth I rushed to my door and opened it. He looked at me, “Still brushing, hurry up girl!” while shaking his head, he turned around and walked downstairs. I sighed and walked back to my bathroom, I brushed my teeth while staring blankly at my reflection and another sigh escaped from me. I took a shower and got dressed in my favourite Tech Pack Bomber Jacket and paired it with neutral hue with taupe, white, tucked inside my blue denim jeans. I combed my dark brown primly smooth hair which reaches my chest. I put chocolate brown eyeliner to my eyes, which had always made my green eyes look good and pop out, before walking out of my room I put some lips gloss and took my bag with me. I walked downstairs and saw my dad helping my mom in the kitchen, “Robert, please place it there!” my mom asked my dad, I admire their love for each other I never had a boyfriend I don’t know why but I never thought about it. I do want same love my mother and father have for each other, I guess I’m waiting for my prince charming! The thought made a smile while I walked to the dining table, “Good morning honey,” my mother greeted me while placing the dishes on the dining table, “Good morning mom,” I greeted back while placing a kiss on her right cheek, I sat down on my chair while placing my bag on the empty chair beside me. After having dinner, my father and I got into his car and he drove us to my college, as it's my first day, he wanted to drop me off and I couldn’t say no to him. He stopped the car in front of the college and looked at me, “Don’t stress and just be yourself, okay?” he said putting his hand on my shoulder, “Okay dad!” I said, with a smile on my face. I took my seat beat off and opened the car door, “Call me if don’t feel good,” I heard him say while I got out of the car, “Don’t worry Dad, I’ll be fine!” I said and turned around. I took a deep breath before I began walking toward my new college. ***Please follow for daily updates and comment on what you think about this chapter below*** Instagram:- S.N_NINA_ARTHUR.
