Moving forward

New life

Moving wasn't what i had in my mind when i went into my court hearing but if i keeps me out of jail and spot light then so be it, packing my clothes into suitcases and everything into boxes i make sure i leave a couple of bits at this apartment giving myself the option to come back if i wanted too which i definitely will be doing. Throwing what i can in my car i hire a moving truck to take the rest to my new apartment i could have stayed with my uncle and cousins but i really need time alone without having them both check on me twenty four seven which they would do if given the opportunity. My cousins are similar age so I'm going to take a wild guess and say there going to the same college as me and going to follow there dad wishes and keep an eye of me but i don't need someone supporting me, i have managed the past three months alright apart from the illegal street racing but everyone joins in on that, its just a little fun beating someone across the line. Once everything is in the moving van and my car i hand over the address to the driver and watch them leave, all i have left is drive myself, great. Hitting the road i turn my music on full blast singing along to a couple of the songs, not bad songs in the nineties. As I'm driving I respect the speed limits this time not wanting to get myself in more trouble, my uncle will have a field day if I get pulled over or speeding tickets come though my post box. Respecting the speed limits i finally reach my apartment, uncle told me its not far from campus which i find lucky as i don't have to get up at the c***k of dawn but knowing me ill still have too. Looking at the complex now i don't only notice how tall it is but i bought the top apartment the penthouse suite, I'm going to regret that if they don't have an elevator. Walking inside i take a couple of seconds to look from left to right and when my eyes spot an elevator i feel like i can breathe, i didn't pack anything big just a couple of bits and bobs.

Finishing unpacking and getting everything into the rightful place i feel exhausted, I didn't think this would take the whole day and now I'm starving with no food in the apartment, i knew i should have stopped at a cafe or somewhere. Looking at the time i pull my phone out sending a quick text to my uncle telling him I'm coming round for food, I'm sure he's laughing at me secretly but that doesn't matter as uncle wife Jasmine can cook which is a blessing when you have no food in the house or too lazy to go shop and buy something. Grabbing my keys off the counter i lock up before heading down to the main entrance and out the doors. I'm not sure if anyone really remembers me or knows me round here but I still keep my head down and earphones in, not interest is communicating with anyone, call me rude but I rather be a loner and then talk about my parents. Following the direction uncle gave me it only took me ten minutes to get to there house and ten minutes too long as I'm starving, parking the car at the side of the road i knock before walking in, I haven't seen everyone for almost three months, i missed them. what i mean is, i missed a home cooked meal.

"Take a seat Annabelle, food will be half an hour" uncle shouts walking into the front room from the kitchen, i nod my head and take a seat in between my twin cousins Callum and Oliver. Placing my head on Callum shoulders i relax a little i kind of wish i had another sibling to annoy with however mother had complications during me and couldn't.

While I'm sat in between my cousins i start watching television with them enjoying the peaceful times, I'm happy they haven't asked any questions but i know they are dying too after all there dad came to my court hearing, so he must have told his sons about it. However soon I'm sure everyone will know about it as gossip travels fast when it gets into the right hands unfortunately. As I'm sat watching telly with the boys uncle walks in and sits in front of me with a straight face

"I'll got you in riverside college, your cousins are there also your late for the semester but I'm sure you fit in" uncle says grabbing my attention, i knew i had to go college but I at least thought i had a little time to adjust to living back here, taking the news off going college I sit there blank face at least I'll know the twins

"When do i start and what major" i ask curiously with it being three months late I'm not sure how quick i can get caught up and i know uncle knows this. If i applied right out of school i would of been fine

"Double mayor of business and engineering, those two classes are the only ones you be able to get caught up in" and he says exactly what I was thinking but really engineering, I already know everything about it, i can rebuild a car and take it apart thanks to me dad but instead of saying anything i just nod and go back to watching the film on the television. One class i already know everything about and the other where i already have my business thanks to my dad.

Finishing dinner at my uncles i don't stick around instead i have my food, say thank you and leave and now I'm sat in the car thinking about college, it's Friday now and i have college Monday, doesn't give me much time to relax and ease myself into it or have enough time to get everything ready. Climbing out my car i finally head upstairs planing on doing nothing but relaxing, I'm sure ill be fine in both classes but it doesn't give me must time to study if i need too with two majors properly why uncle did it.

Me: I'm back in Riverside, actually going to there college.

Danielle: about time, i missed your crazy arse.

Danielle: i have a game against there college soon, maybe we can meet up after

Me: i would love too.

Texting Danielle is a turn in the right direction with her being steady with me. Having known each other since we was kids to playing together she's been by my side though it all but me pushing her away when my parents died was a stupid idea, my parents seen Danielle like a daughter so I couldn't imagine what she went though instead i toned everyone out and ran, i really hope she doesn't hold it against me. Sliding my phone back in my pocket i head to my apartment keeping my head down the whole way. I might of come out my shell little but that's only with my close friends and family, if i don't know anyone I'm the quiet loner not wanting to talk to anyone and i prefer it that way.
