Dying Embers

Chapter 1

Dylan's POV

Flashback

"Why!!?" Sky screamed at me. " I just don't love you anymore." I responded calmly. Suddenly, there was a burning sensation on my cheek. She angrily walked out of my apartment? "Whew that was overly dramatic." I muttered to myself.

End of flashback

I woke up with sweat on my forehead, looking around I saw the small hotel room that I booked when I had first landed in San Francisco. I looked to my right and grabbed my phone. Looking at the time I saw that it was 6:30 and got up. After taking a shower and brushing my teeth I exited the room. I checked out and walked to my motorcycle. I put my bag in the side compartment and started my motorcycle.

Time skip

It has been about an hour since I had left the hotel and I had another ten minutes till i would be at my new apartment. The radio was blasting my playlists. Suddenly, don't you dare forget the sun started playing. I occasionally would glance to my left or right looking at the cars that passed by. When a car passed by with a girl and a man all I could think of was Sky. Why was I thinking if her. I then started to remind myself what she had done. "She cheate-" "Excuse me."a woman asked I looked around and saw that I was at my new apartment. "Yes." "Are you the man that is moving into apartment 67D?" The woman asked. "Yeah" I responded cautiously. " Ok well hello my name is Cleo Parker," she started excitedly " I'm your new neighbor!" She put her hand out for me to shake. After shaking her hand she walked off. As I walked into the building I took a piece of paper that had the floor and what apartment is mine.

You are on floor D and apartment 67

I walked into the elevator and pressed the button that said D. A few minutes later the elevator stopped.

I Walked out of the elevator and glanced back at my piece of paper. I took a while but I finally found my apartment.

When I was in the room the scent of lilacs filled the room. "It smells so good!" I exclaimed. I looked around and saw the boxes that would fill my new apartment with furniture, dishes and lots of other things.

Setting my carry on down on the floor I took off my shoes. It was a long flight from home to here sol I thought I would lay down for a while.

It was then that I realized I had to unpack everything first. Without another thought I started to walk around to see what my new home looked like.

There ended up being one bathroom, two bedrooms, and a living room and kitchen that were connected. Sighing I realized that I would now have to buy two beds because I did not bring my bed from my old home.

I when to the bathroom and sat down;I looked down at the box that said Bathroom and sighed. I hate unpacking.

I took my keys out and cut the tape. I pulled out first aid kits, toothpaste, a tooth brush, and other things.After I finished with the bathroom, I went into the area that was supposed to be my kitchen.

Several more boxes sat there on the ground. I sat down and opened the box.

After unpacking everything

I sat there thinking of everything that I went through the past two weeks. I broke up with my girlfriend and I also moved to San Francisco.

Suddenly, I felt the need to smile. I mean yeah my girlfriend cheated on me with my brother but, its not the end of the world.

I am going to wait a while before I get into another relationship. Yeah thats what ill do.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. I got off of the couch that I had just assembled.

When I looked through the peephole that was made in the door I saw that women I was talking to earlier. What was her name. Oh It was Cleo. I open the door and asked "How may I help you?" She smiled and responded with " Do you want to come to dinner with me and my friends? I know it's kinda weird to ask since you just moved here but, I was just thinking that you know we could get to know each other."

I thought about it for a while. I then looked at my watch, it was now six thirty. "Sure, I'd like to get to know you some more you seem like a really nice person."

She then had a big smile on her face and she was trying to drag me out of my apartment. "Wait a minute I have to get my wallet and get my shoes on." I quickly said. She stopped looked at me and then let go of my arm.

I put my shoes on and grabbed my wallet. This is going to be fun I said to myself as I grabbed my keys and walked out of the door
