Chapter One: Introduction

Holly's P.O.V

Moving house is one job in itself, but whilst everyone you know is at a party and constantly calling you? That's another. Knowing that you'll leave them all behind tomorrow, and that only a couple of them truly care, and they're all out drinking their body weight in alcohol whilst having the time of their lives. It sucks. I don't even get to say goodbye to some of my dearest friends. At least I won't wake up with a hangover tomorrow, instead I'll be moving across the country.

As I was packing away the last few items that were in my closet, my phone began to ring from across the room. I sighed, walked over to it and saw a friend who would definitely be at that party, and definitely would be drunk when I answered her call. I answered it knowing that I'd regret it since she might say actually something that makes sense, despite her drunk haze.

"Hello Ellie!" I said cheerfully, still stuffing many pairs of shoes into the box beside me. I heard the smash of a bottle in the background of the call, I sighed as the loud music gradually became quieter.

"I-uh I went-t outsidee, music was-s uh loud" She stuttered, and I sighed yet again because I knew she was at that party and was probably downing each bit of alcohol handed to her without any hesitation.

"Okay, why did you call me?" I asked her, I heard her laugh and I could tell that she was trying her best to be a little bit more serious.

"I-I justtt wanted to-uh say tha-t I'll-uh m-miss yooooou a lott" She said to me, I smiled despite her not being able to see it. Even though she is heavily drunk, I knew those words were coming from her heart.

"I will miss you too Ellie, I have to continue packing, is there anything else you have to say?" I said, as much as she is my friend, I'm not very good at dealing with the drunk versions of my friends. I needed to finish this packing tonight.

"Hey yeah! H-have this ummmm number! Yes that's uh right this n-number" She said whilst sending me the number, my face screwed up in confusion but I blamed her drunkenness.

"Ellie why should I have this number?" I asked her and she started to laugh a lot, I sighed quietly but allowed her to regain herself as much as possible.

"Text this boy, he he he's pretty y-you'll like himmmmm uhhh a lot I I think. I-I uh knoww him It'ss okayyy" She said with much difficulty, I laughed briefly before looking at the number and knowing that I didn't recognise it. She's been drunk many times before, and most times when she isn't serious she will send me the numbers of people that I already know. I think she'd end up sending me this number anyways even if she wasn't drunk.

"Okay Ellie, I'll message them. Now I have to go and finish packing, have fun at the party!" I said and I heard her stumble back into the party and find her friends.

"Uh B-Byee!" She stuttered and I ended the call quite quickly.

I continued with my packing for what felt like many hours, finally getting all of the contents of my closet into boxes, and all of the other storage units in my bedroom. I left out all of my essentials, and then made sure that everything was ready to move across the country from Haenam to Seoul.

I got into my bed for the last time, plugging my phone into the charger to save it from a near death. I checked the time and it wasn't long until dawn. I looked outside and saw that the sun hadn't yet started to rise, but it definitely would quite soon.
