Her Broken Spirit

She took a deep breath as she looked around her room with all her packed boxes. Hannah was about to move out of her childhood home. She was nervous and scared. She was also welcoming thoes feelings as she was excited to start this new chapter that she felt was going to be the grand start of all of her upcoming worldly adventures. Since she was 10 years old Hannah has always wanted to travel the world. She graduated high school six months ago and is now moving out of her small California town of Mount Shasta to the beautiful town of Bradford London. Her Aunt Sophie has lived there for nearly 6 years and offered Hannah to come and stay with her for a year or so. Hannah has no plans as to stay with her aunt that long she wants to work at her aunt's pub and restaurant long enough to gather some money to start her travels. " Honey come downstairs and help us with the boxes." Hannah's mother Ivy Piper yelled. Most of her things were being put into a storage center. Her lovely parents were going to turn Hannah's room into a yoga s***h meditation room an she couldn't be more happy to help. "Yes mom I'll be right down." Hannah said in a lighthearted voice. She took one last look in the full length mirror. She grumbled has she tried to smooth her unruly red hair. Hannah wasn't ugly but with her 5 foot 2 stature and her curvy figure she felt like she was drawn the short straw with looks. Her mother was a stunningly beautiful woman with dark red hair and a runway model like figure. Her father Dean piper was well over 6 foot and dirty blonde hair and he was built like a tank as her mother always said. Hannah chuckled to her self thinking of how her mother always called her father a brute when he would accidentally break something more when trying to fix it. Honestly she had no idea where she got her emerald green eyes and wild red hair. Her parents always said it was from one of their ancestors. she never really questioned more because what good would it do. Looking at her phone she reaches the bottom of the stairs she really thought her two best friends Sara and Anthony would have been here to see her off. No new messages and no missed calls though. "SURPRISE " Hannah yelps as she didn't expect the loud noise. Her mother, father, little brother and her two best friends are all standing there with a giant sign saying 'Let The Adventure Begin' painted in bright colors and a small cake with 'we'll miss you' is sitting on the small coffee table. Their bright smiling faces tear rimmed eyes make Hannah feel like the luckiest girl alive. She rushes over to them and bear hugs each one while telling them how much she was going to miss them. After a few hours of laughing and crying and saying goodbye she found herself on a plain to London. She remembered her aunt said she would be there at the airport to pick her up and they would hit the city for a fun night out. After all the emotions she let out at her little fair well party she was thinking she might be to drained to go out tonight. Maybe a little nap before we land will do me over and I won't disappoint my aunt by not wanting to go out she thought to herself. As she reclined her sit the farthest it would go which wasn't much she pulled the complimentary sleep mask over her eyes and drifted off. She awoke with her heart pounding as she remembered the dream she had. "Hello little one please don't be scared. I'm here to tell you that the hardest time we face can sometimes lead to the most beautiful lives we didn't think were possible. Please don't forget that I'm watching over you and you will find true love if you're open to accepting it." The ethereal woman in a white flowing dress said to her while it seemed Hannah was floating in the sky after she said those interesting life quotes to her Hannah began to feel like she was falling and startled herself awake. "Well that was a weird dream." Hannah said aloud. "What kind of dream did you have to have you looking like a wet cat?" She snapped her head towards the man sitting next to her eye wide with flushed cheeks that she was sure reached her neck. She was so taken aback by the man's sudden question and the fact that she had just woken up startled she literally told him exactly what her dream was about. "Well maybe that means you'll meet your soulmate soon." He chuckled lightly "I'm Blake by the way and you are?" He extended his hand with a slightly amused arched eyebrow. "Oh I'm sorry I'm Han." She quickly stopped and remembered what her father and her bestie Anthony told her about being to friendly and open with strangers in foreign countries. " Hannah we know how friendly you can be but when comes to being in a new country and without any of us there please be smart. We know your a fiery little thing that will put up a good fight but please promise us you won't be to trusting quickly. We just want you to be safe and to have a good time we all love you and wouldn't know what to do if something terrible happened to you so please be smart." I looked at the Blake's outstretched hand and then his face that seemed to take on a nervous look like he was talking to a pretty girl for the first time. Then I realized how handsome he was. Dark blonde or was it a light brown it was to dimly lit to tell and beautiful brown eyes and a sheepish grin. I couldn't be certain but he looked to be shorter then her father which wasn't hard and well built. He looked innocent enough so she took his hand in hers "I'm Hannah it's nice to meet you Blake." I smiled back at him as his face lit up he has a gorgeous smile. "You have the most beautiful green eyes I've ever seen." Blake says and pulls his hand away smiling. Hannah didn't know what to say but maybe this could be the start of a new friendship. Before leaving the air plain Blake asked Hannah for her phone number she was hesitant at first but then she relented and figured he was a nice of guy and it would be nice to have a new friend in town. "I really hope you call me and if not expect at least a text from me." Blake tells her with a wink. She waits in the lobby after grabbing her two suitcases from baggage luckily I don't have to wait for my luggage I only brought the essentials with me which it turns out to be two large checked luggage and to carry-ons. Hannah thought to herself while rolling her eyes. She huffed and realized how out of shape she was just from toting around two large luggages and two carry-ons. When she spotted her Aunt Sophie standing in the Lobby next to a coffee shop she yelled and waved her arm. Instantly she regretted this action as she thought to herself that she probably looked like a crazy woman. Laughing at her actions Hannah walked over to her aunt. There she stood talking to a drop dead gorgeous man who had to be about 6 foot 5 with broad shoulders black hair that had a natural shine to it and the most memorizing blue eyes. Her aunt was the same height as her mom 5'9 at least, a lean toned body with long flowing brown hair and green eyes more hazel than green but she thought they looked very green at the moment. Hannah and her family had just come a few weeks prior to her moving here to see her aunt, and get to know the location a bit before deciding if she wanted to come and live here with her aunt.
