The Changes of Her Life

Chapter 1

I  woken up by the sound of my alarm knowing that the day has come for me to leave London and every single thing I love. I grab my phone to check the time(4:00 am), I fall back into my bed, not wanting to leave and just when I hear the second sound of my alarm, I force myself out of bed. Just when I was about to leave my room, I hear my phone vibrate and check who had texted me.

(Bsf: Jasper S.)*Hey beautiful are you up.*

*Yes, I was about to head down satire ...why are you awake at this time?*

*Getting the coffee ready for everybody...I ask your dad if I could go with you to the airport and to say goodbye, I know you told me not to but I just can't let you go without saying goodbye in your last day.*

*Yeah...I see that you never listen, you're just like me but I get it I will actually be doing the same thing. I guess I will see you in a minute then.*

*We both are so like, good thing that we are bsf....yeah all see you in a minute.* I let on seen the last messages, and I remember the first time we met the one kid Jasper that always had my back, a tall skinny white boy with those beautiful blue eyes just like the color of the water and he's blond curly hair just like mien but the only difference was that I had gray eyes. So many people even say that we look like twins brothers, the sad thing is that he won't be with me anymore to make our dreams come true together. The alarm from my phone gets me out of my thoughts realizing that I had to go downstairs to make coffee for everyone. I headed back to my room and just when I hear the door open, I look down the stairs thinking that it was Jasper, but I see my dad arriving all tired.

"Hi, Dad."

"Hey Lillian, I see that you already made coffee."

"Yes, I did," I answer him smiling while he walked through the stairs.

"Thank you, baby, you're always such a helpful daughter I thank god for giving us such an amazing girl." I thank god for giving me this beautiful family.

"Question baby, is your grandmother and your mum still sleeping?" I look towards both of their rooms to see if the lights were on, I turn around whispering.

"Yes they are still sleeping, I was thinking about waking up granny after I get out of the shower and I think mum is going to wake up any second."Dad gives me a big thumbs up meaning that is okay and I understood.

"One more thing Lillian, Jasper is coming with us to the airport I hope you don't mind that I say that it was ok for him to come."

"Oh-oh...Yeah, he sent me a text and he told me about it, it's okay if he comes I don't mind."

"Ok good because I think is good if he comes and he's your best friend, I know that you will like to say goodbye one more time." I don't say anything and I just smile, he heads downstairs to check the coffee and I headed back to my room and grab my towel to take a shower and just when I reached the door, mum comes out of her room with a robe tied to her body and her hair caught tide in a bun.

"Hello baby, is your dad downstairs?" she asked with a sleepy voice.

"Yes mum, he's taking care of the coffee and bread" I gave her a sweet smile and enter into the restroom. After showering I go to my room to get myself ready and by the time I get out of my room, I check on my phone again and see that it is 5:00 am I put it in my sweatshirt and I go to my grandmother's room.

"Good morning granny its time," I whisper in her ear.

"Oh okay, Lilli." When she gets out of her room I made her bed and leave her clothes on her bed. By the time she comes back I have everything she needs on her bed.

"Oh, Lilli my dear you didn't have to do that."

"You know I don't mind granny." I give her a kiss and leave her room to see what is dad and mum doing.

"Hi" I sit at the table with mum, just when I sit dad gives me a toasted bread with a cup of coffee. I like who my parents have always treated me as a grown-up and not like a baby and even though they are not my real parents I love them for always being there for me and see me as their own daughter.

"Are you ready to leave for the airport." I stop drinking my coffee, of course, I'm not ready to live this is too hard for me to just live my family and friends, I look at mum with sadness, then at my dad. I stay quiet and I look down and drink more of my coffee. He puts his hand on my back and moves it making circles.

"I know you're not ready to meet your brothers and start a new life in California with your family." Just when he says "family" I get this feeling in my stomach of nerves, even if they are my real parents I don't think I would be calling them mum and dad not because I don't like them but, because Juan and Martha have already taken their place. I also know dad is telling me this to understand that this is a change for me and to get to know them but why now why didn't they think about it sooner. I already have a family a beautiful family who has been there for me. I think I would just have to accept the reality of my life.

I answer them with a broken voice. "I know but, why now after 11 years and I already have a family I don't.." I stop myself when I hear a knock on the door, thanks to Jasper that he is here and for making it in time before things get bad.

"Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Ledwell." I'm going to miss the beautiful smile of him every time he comes to my house.

"Hi, Jasper." My parents answer with a smile like they always do, I just look at them knowing that this will be the last time that I will have this until I come back. We see my granny coming down the stairs, I stand up from my chair to grab one of the bread that dad put on the toaster and coffee.

"Hello, Jasper," my granny says.

"Hello Mrs. Wilson," Jasper says while he gets closer to my granny to give her a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Do you have everything ready dear?" I look at my grandmother and see in her eyes sadness when she finishes. It kills me seeing her like that. I do not understand why they left me with my grandma if, in the end, they would separate me from her.

"Yes, I just have to get my suitcase and my bags from my room" I try not to sound sad, but I just can't help it. Juan touches my back and gets me out of my thoughts.

"Jasper and I will get your suitcase and your bags from your room, so you can finish eating". I shake my head agreed with him. Will they take my things out of my room I take my cup and wash it before I leave. When I finish washing it, I look at my grandmother and then at my mum I give both of them a big hug and a sweet kiss. "I'm gonna miss you both, I promise I will call and don't worry about me I will be fine."When I turn around I see Juan waiting for me by the door.

"I'm going to check if I'm forgetting something." My voice cracks when I finish telling him.

"All right just hurry we'll meet you at the car." I headed back to my room really fast and check if I miss anything. When I'm about to leave I turned around and check one last time saying goodbye to every single thing of my childhood to start over, I close the door and I feel a tear running down my cheeks, I wipe it away not wanting my granny to see me. I close that door of my house and I get into the back seat with my grandmother and Jasper, just when I seat next to hem he holds my hand.

I looked towards the window for one last time, admiring everything in London. My life was so complete with a beautiful family and now I have to start again in a new place with new people and different cultures. I had come so far with this beautiful family and my friend it breaks my heart to leave, what it hurt's more is that I can't do anything to be able to stay. All I can do is accept it and try to live my new life by making memories in California, even though I know it will be difficult to fit in.
