Unlucky fate

Chapter 2

Her POV.

I had decided to move to a new town trying to get a fresh start. After my parent’s accident, I just couldn’t stay in that place. I inherited all their belongings and their money, which was not an awful lot but enough for me to rent as apartment near the new campus.

Before I left, I contacted a real estate company about my parents’ house.

When I arrived, I parked my new Ford Focus which was the replacement for the car my parents crashed in, in the parking lot, that came with the apartment

The landlord shook my hand when we meet and began telling me about the area.

“The campus that you told me you would be attending is only a mile and a half down that road, the Mall is 2 miles in the opposite direction, along the streets you will find different kinds of restaurants diners”

“Sounds perfect” I told him trying to force a smile

We walked into the elevator climbing to the third floor where the unlocked the door marked with 3B. He opened the door following me inside.

“The rent is to be paid the first every month. If you have any questions or problems you can contact me, my card is on the table”

He handed over the keys to the apartment and left out the door.

I walked around the apartment looking around.

The kitchen was the first room you entered it was not brand new but okay decent, it had a big window with a view to the streets, from the kitchen you came to the living room with original wooden floors that my mom would have loved, the apartment was unfurnished, so it was totally empty. After the living room there was a door in the right corner which led to the bedroom and then a bathroom.

After looking around I started going back to the kitchen to collect the keys, I then locked the door, and went outside. I had hired a moving company to drop off some of the furniture from the old house. I had decided to keep my bed, the tv from our living room, a table and chairs and our couch.

More personal object like pictures and photo albums had been packed in boxes located in my own car.

While the moving company took up the big furniture, I helped with the chairs and my own boxes. When they were done, I paid them and tipped them.

“Thanks for the help, stay safe” I said before they drove off.

Before I could walk into the building again a woman around the same age as I (23) came up to me.

“Hold on!” she said, and I turned around.

“Yes?” I spoke

“You are new here right?”

“Yes, I am, I just moved in now”

“Sorry, I didn’t introduce myself, I am Emma, I live 2 buildings from here but couldn’t walk by without introducing myself.

“Hi Emma, I’m Mia”

She stood looking awkward for a moment before she asked.

“Are you free tonight?”

“Yeah sure” I answered

“Do you want to go out tonight with me? I know it might be weird since we don’t know each other but it might be fun”

“I would love to”

A big smile appeared on her lips.

“I will meet you at your apartment let’s say 7.30 pm?”

“Yes, that would be great”

“Okay bye” she said while walking off.

I was on my way into the building when I heard her again.

“Sorry I didn’t catch which apartment you live in”

“Oh yes, 3B that’s me”

“Great”

….

I closed the door behind me after entering the apartment, the table was placed in the kitchen together with the chairs, and the rest in the living room except from the bed which was placed in the bedroom. I decided to make the bed and put my clothes in the closet.

I sat down I the couch and looked in one of the boxes I had from my car. Seeing the pictures of my parents and me at my 10th birthday made my heart sink, and a tear fell from my eye ruining my mascara. I put the picture in the window since I did not have much furniture to place it. The rest stayed in the box.

I went to my bed and fell asleep.

…

I woke up 6.30 pm.

I stretched and got up from my bed, went to the closet and found some light blue skinny jeans, and a white crop top which made my shoulders bare, I put on my white sneakers not wanting to look for my heels. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth, and my hair and checked my makeup.

I only wore a little mascara with brought out my eyes, and a little lip-gloss.

By the time I was done a knock sounded on the door.

*Knock Knock*

I opened the door meeting Emma and God she looked good. Emma had Dark brown shoulder length hair and brown eyes. She wore a black dress and heels; she had a blue coat in har hand together with a clutch.

“Hi, omg you look amazing” she said while walking into the apartment

“Thank you so do you” I told her

“Where are we going” I asked, but she dismissed me and told me It was a surprise since I was new.

“Come on I got an uber waiting downstairs”

I locked up the apartment and walked with her to the waiting car. We jumped in and Emma gave the driver an address.

Around 10 minutes the driver told us that we had arrived. I looked out the window and looked at a building with the letters ‘BLAZE’. Outside there was a line, but it was not too long at this point, but it was still a little early.

Emma and I got out of the car and went to stand in line. When we had been standing there for about 20 minutes, we were the newt who would be let in. 4 boys met outside the club and went directly inside without having to stand in line, I did not get a look at them, but was a little jealous. About 5 minutes after we were let inside. We left our coats at the door and went to the bar. I sat at a chair while Emma went to the dancefloor. After I had ordered a guy came and ordered at the same bartender, while he waited for his drinks, he looked at me.

“Hi” he said

“Hi”

“Are you alone here?”

“No, my friend is just dancing, I needed a drink” I smile at him.

“My name is Ian” he gestures to shake hands, and I take it.

“Hi Ian, sorry but my friend is calling” I leave him to join Emma at the dance floor.
