Beyond The Darkness

Away from home.

My aunt and uncle asked me to sit down and then the worst words escaped their mouths."Lauren we are leaving tomorrow, we're going to New York". I looked at my aunt then my uncle they looked serious as hell. "Come again?"I asked with a confused look.

I'm originally born in California but moved away to Malibu when I was at the age of eight, after my dad died nothing was really the same without him life was completely hopeless and I wasn't really looking out for adventure anymore cause that was me and my dad's thing to do I still remember the day he taught me how to jump a rope and his phone fell out of his pocket it was so funny.

I later on moved in with my aunt and uncle and there I met my first boyfriend his name was Tristan I never really met him in person. Having an online boyfriend was different but besides that I loved him with my whole heart still do,sometimes I lay in bed and miss him so much.

We met on a group call and than talked the entire day long then he had a bit of a headache so I wished that he would get better soon and sended him a hug and a heart he than sended the same thing back but what shocked me most was when he sent me a heart, I did the same but then he said I love you.Oh my word could I feel more in love than this,I thought to myself.

He asked me out on new years eve.We dated for ten days but than broke up cause I lived to far away from him and he didn't trust it.He lived in Port Elizabeth I think he still does. He lost his mom in the same year that we broke up I was there for him trough and trough and he slowly moved on.

I just got used to the Malibu life I have a lot of friends a best friend named Danita and a guy who is crushing on me I guess he's alright but I don't think I really see him as a boyfriend maybe just as friends. But now I'm moving away again yayy."Come again we're moving tomorrow why?" I asked my aunt. She nodded her head and said"I found a job there and this is a big opportunity me cupcake" I had no words only tears I ran to my room and stayed there the hole day.

I whipped some of my tears and posted a message of me saying that I'm moving away to New York City. They thought I was joking but I wish I was. I asked them all if we could meet up so that we could say our goodbyes. I waited a while then I heard doorbell after doorbell they all arrived and we're already crying "oh come on guys I just stopped crying did you have to?" I jokingly said with tears in my eyes. Lauren I'm going to miss you so much ghoul". Lee-Ann said."aww girl your gonna make me ugly cry" I hugged her and looked at all my friends.

"Guys I love each and every one of you and I wouldn't change it for the world but leaving you guys won't be easy I admit. I've had a blast with all of you I got a best friend, homies and a crush. Sad to say I'm leaving tomorrow and I'm going to New York City new school new friends even though I'm not exited for it"...
