Gabe: "She really needs to pee."

Driver: "We will be there in 15 minutes."

Kylie: "Oh fuck there is a god."

Gabe: "Your hopeless."

I couldn't help but lookout the window again and stare in awe at the new city we would be living in. It's kind of incredible. Though I didn't realise how quickly time passes by before we pulled into the drive way of our new home.

Driver: "Here we are guys. If you want to give her the keys I'd be more then happy to help with your bags."

Kylie: "Your a fucking legend mate."

She snatched the keys from me before racing up the drive way and entering the house. I haven't even been able to look inside yet but I hope it was as nice as I thought It would be. It cost us quite a bit, But I guess saving up after 8 and 9 books. We really spent a pretty penny on this place. It was a Four bedroom house and I don't know why we ended up agreeing on it. Our Managers told us it would be great for us in the end and help to broaden our horizons in the literal world. As well as help us with making friends. If we have the room we can meet people. I don't think they understand how lonely being a writer can be sometimes. Sitting at your desk and constantly writing every day. It's great to get out and enjoy yourself but I don't like that. Well I haven't liked it for about 6 years since Anxiety is a fucking bitch. I guess I got lucky with my career. After a few minutes helping me bring our luggage into the already furnished house. I looked around and just wondered about whether we were even good enough for this place.

I took a photo of the new Living room as I know my mum would really want to see it. I really liked the walls and the colour scheme. And the furniture looked incredible. I turned around to see the driver with us. He looked inside and was taken aback himself.

Driver: "Your new home is lovely sir."

Gabe: "Oh no please there is no need for that. But thank you so much. Here I wouldn't feel right otherwise."

I handed the man a 50 pound note.

Driver: "Sir I can't accept this."

Gabe: "It's a tip. You have done more then your line of work in helping us with our bags.And you told us about our Managers paying for the trip. Believe me mate. You have done more then you need to for your job. Thank you."

Driver: "Sir you are far too kind for this world. I must be off but I thank you profusely for the tip."

I waved him off with a large smile as I closed the door behind him. I felt bad as I knew I probably wouldn't see the guy again but I feel justified in what I did. I grabbed my bags and started up the stairs. I walked along the corridors before noticing little plaques on the doors. I guess our Manager's were already here to scope the place out. I kept walking until I found the door with my name on it at the end of the hall way.I couldn't help but wonder If this place was worth it to be honest. I know the only thing I wanted in the new place was a large bed room so I could do all sorts of stuff when it came to writing and also with gaming. With Kylie and I being heavy gamer nerds on the side. Though writing always came first.
