His:Always and forever

Chapter 2

Alice's P.O.V

Now it's dinner time, we all meet at the restaurant and order our food, everyone is talking with each other. I'm just sitting in silence, waiting to hear what's going to happen. Once the food arrives, we dig in. Finally after what feels like hours my uncle turns to me and says " Alice you will be going to live with your aunt pat and uncle Ian, they live in Italy as your cousin married over there you leave tomorrow".

I'm trying to process everything he just said, and I have no clue what to think. I don't even know these people I'm going to. I remember hearing about my dad having family, but I don't remember meeting them.

My aunt cuts of my thinking " we don't have the room or we would have taken you with us, they have offered to have you, I know it's sudden and a big change but it will be good for you".

My cousin says he will pick me up and take me to the airport. They give me an envelope with all the details I need for tomorrow. I just can't get my head around everything. With that, I say I'm going to go.

On my way back to my friends house, I try to process I'm moving to Italy to family. I have no clue about. I've not had any contact with dad's family, but that might just be the fact my mums side didn't like him. I knew my family never liked me either as I was always causing trouble. Yes, my grandparents loved me. I was their youngest daughter child. And I was 20 years younger than my cousin, I was the baby but also the black sheep.

But maybe they are right it will be a new start even though I wish I wasn't moving again. I hated moving, having to make new friends getting to know the place. It was always difficult. I made my parents promise that we wouldn't move again and they agreed. But I still ended up moving it may not have been the same reason, but it still hurt.

This time, it's a new country and a different language. I guess most will be able to speak English, but I will probably have to learn Italian to get by. Why, now its been 8 years since my parents died they could have taken me in then or tried to contact me. I have social media, and they could have looked me up.

I don't know how I feel about all of this. There are too many questions, but I guess I will have to wait and see what happens.

I get to my friends, and they all ask what's going on. " I'm moving in with my aunt and uncle in Italy. I leave tomorrow they gave me this with all the information, and Tony picking me up at 10 am to take me to the airport." Well, that started them all off. Yes, my friend and her family are crazy they are my second family and i love them all ive know them for 4 years seen the start of high school and lisa is my best friend im going to miss her.

Lisa comes and gives me a big hug while her mum sneaks the envelope away. I see her mum and too older sisters looking through the papers, and then they turn detective trying to find out everything.

Sara Lisa's mum tells me" we think we found them it seems they a own business over in Italy and are doing quite well" with a long sigh " I know you don't have a choice in all this as your only 16 but I'm going to write down all of our numbers and you hide it away if for any reason you don't feel safe you call and we will get you back here, just stay in touch we will all miss you". We were all crying and saying it's not goodbye, but see you later.

After all the tears and hugs, I leave them to go get a shower and try to sleep its going to be a long day tomorrow. After my shower I look at the envelope it tells me the detail for the flight were to go when I get off and who's picking me up which is my cousin James it has his picture so I know what to look for and he doesn't look to scary. Phone numbers to call if there's a problem, they even put their address and phone number so I can give it to my friends so they can stay in touch. Maybe they will be nice.

Of course, I googled it all and saw what Sara had looked at. They have a big fancy house by the looks of it, I'm probably going to stick out like a saw thumb.

After about 2 hours of looking at everything, I try to sleep. I keep thinking about what will happen after tomorrow. Don't think I will get much sleep.

I'm terrified of the endless possibilities.
