Scars

Eternally Alone

This is my second story so far I would very much appreciate your support. I have a strange since of humor so if I offend anyone I'm sorry and that isn't my intention. This story will have some mature content so if you are underage don't read. Don't copy this story. Thanks love y'all:)

It has been a year since I started this crazy journey, traveling all around the world experiencing different cultures and beautiful places. But I had never felt more alone than while on this trip, having no friends sucks and my parents where off somewhere on a business trip so they couldn't have come even if they had wanted to. Now finally as it all comes to a stop I can't help but feel slightly relieved that it's over. 

Currently I am on a plane to Seoul, Korea. After a long week of deciding which Uni I wanted to attend, I picked the University of Music, my dream has always been to produce music but my parents always wanted me to follow in their footsteps and become a lawyer. So I had put my dreams aside for a few years trying to live up to their expectations. It took me a long time to realize that I shouldn't have to do as my parents wanted all the time, because after all it was going to be me stuck in an office doing paperwork.

Now that I'm finally pursuing my dream I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders and all the stress that came with it, allowing me to feel at ease. This was going to be a long ride almost 17 hours, might as well sleep to pass the time. Pulling my sleeping mask over my eyes, I get comfortable in my seat, letting Sleep pull me into his comforting arms.

After what seems like an eternity the plane finally lands in Seoul airport. My stiff legs causing me major discomfort as I shuffle along through the crowd like a grandma. The airport full of haste people who showed up late for their flight. I look around for my driver my parents got for me, trying to find my name in a sea of boards. My stomach growls at the aroma wafting through the air, fast food. Well what can I say I'm a fat bitch, chuckling slightly at myself I look around for a minute, not finding him I go to Mcdonalds and eat something quick not wanting to waste to much time. 

I go back once my hunger is sated and sweep the area with my gaze, I finally spot my name Aera Park. Walking towards the short man carrying the board I find it in my tired self to smile.

"Hello, Mr. Kim right?" I say extending my hand to him he takes it with a nod. "The car is right this way." Mr. Kim says rather gruffly ,which I find comical seeing as he is around 5'1, I try hard to stifle my laughter as I follow him. 

Getting into the backseat, I take out my phone to face time my mother. After the third ring she answers looking coldly at me through the phone something I have gotten used to through the years, she just had a resting bitch face was all. 

" Are you in Seoul?" she asked, I nodded sighing.

"How are the cases going so far?" I ask looking out the window watching the buildings stream by. "So far it looks like we have the upper hand," I knew that she was going to win the case, she always did, asking was just a habit of mine. 

"Where was the apartment you got me again?" I asked looking down at her stern face. "I got you one that was only a few miles from the campus. I hope you don't come regret this decision." Her brown eyes softening in the slightest even though her voice remained sharp as ever. 

"I won't mom, can't you trust me?,"  I ask, my voice whiny. 

"I do trust you its just that I want to make sure this is what you want, you know we only want the bes-," she was cut off by someone on the other side. She gave me an apologetic look and told me to be careful, quickly ending the call. 

I blinked back tears, running a frustrated hand through my hair, I knew to expect this. It was always this way, they never had time for me. So why was I getting upset over it? Not knowing how to answer my own question I sat back taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling focusing on the business's streaming by. 

After 20 minutes we arrived at my apartment destination, looking up at the 3 story high complex building, I smile this is going to be new beginning for me, I could start over with a clean slate. I had only brought two giant suitcases, so I grabbed one handing Mr. Kim the other, we went inside. Grabbing the card to my room from the receptionist and making our way to the elevator. Once inside Mr. Kim pressed the button to the third floor. 

We got off, stopping in front of the door that read 32 and opening it with the card, walking into my new apartment I look around surprised by the amount of space available, but then again mother always goes all out. Dropping my suitcase on the side of the door I go exploring. 

The kitchen at my right is somewhat small but that doesn't bother me much since I can't really cook, I turn my attention to the left where the living area is walking inside, a grin spreading across my face at level of coziness. The room itself is really big with a huge white couch that looks super comfy, a white and mint love seat against the wall, a black and white recliner  to the left of the couch, a couple of black bean bags scattered rather nicely in the room, and the coffee table in front of the 70 in. plasma TV. 

I squeal thinking about all the fun I could have with people over, but the smile from my face fades quickly as I think about my unfortunate situation, I probably won't be able to make friends here either. My mood dampened. I not as excitedly go into the master bedroom. I lay down in my bed not really feeling like doing anything anymore. 

I lay there for a few minutes before the sound of a knock on my wall shakes me out of my daydream making me sit up quickly. I gasp and immediately start apologizing to Mr. Kim as he carries my suitcases to my bed, grabbing one from his hands I lay it onto the bed. "I totally forgot, I'm so so sorry," I say giving him an apologetic look he just nods stoic. 

"Is that all miss?" he asks I nod slowly,"then I'll be on my way but I'll be back tomorrow at 1pm to take you to a car dealership." He says tipping his head down in the slightest.

"Of course, thank you for your help today." I bow low, rising slowly, giving me one last nod he leaves. I lay back down on my bed looking up at the blank ceiling, I can't help but feel like I will remain eternally alone.
