Torn
chapter one.
i made a slow entrance as i walked into the door to my new flat. the flat was quite big, with a lot of space. the light switch made a faint *click* as i turned it on. i walked into the kitchen and looked around inside the cupboards. it looked like this place had been abandoned, rather than just build for how empty it was. i kinda felt lucky that there was all the appliences there.
i walked around some more, looking in all the rooms. there were only two actual bedrooms in the flat. i guess that would come in handy since i have a lot of things to bring in yet. the master bedroom was big. big enough for me, anyway. there was a tiny bed inside of the second bedroom. 'i guess this is where im sleeping tonight' i thought to myself as i exhaled loudly.
it was starting to get dark when i realized i still needed food. it was about 8 pm and most of the street lights were on already, and since it was winter here in London, i really didnt feel like going anywhere. 'ughh, its probably freezing out there.' i rolled my eyes while thinking.
i nearly jumped out of my clothes when i heard a loud ringing sound. i pulled my phone quickly from my back pocket from my sweat pants and held it up to my ear. "uhm, hello?" i said quietly and sort of confused. "HEY! OH MY GOSH! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! WHERE DO YOU LIVE AT NOW?! I HAVEN'T TALKED TO SINCE YOU LEFT CALIFORNIA!" i knew who it was as soon as i heard the loud screeching in my ear. "woah, woah..calm down there alyssa. im fine! and im living in London now. i just got here, so i cant tell you how great it is yet" i giggled as i talked. i knew she was going crazy without any specific deatils. "well, you better get to it! i need to know how many cute guys are out there, so when i come out..we can yanno, party with all the hunks!" i dont think she was joking either. Alyssa was kinda boy crazy. espacially when it comes to cute ones.
"im not here to look for guys, Lyss! Im here for college, remember?" i continued to talk with a smirk on my face. "yeah, yeah. college..thats all you ever talk about! what campus are you going to, miss.educated." she said jokingly. "well, i was hoping Oxford. But that's if i even get in, but i'll talk to you tomorrow Lyss. I've gotta take a shower." i felt kinda bad for just telling her i had to leave as soon as we got on the phone..but i hadnt taken a shower in about two days and i felt pretty dirty. "okay! make sure you call me Melissa! Im serious, i need to know everything!"
she always needed to know everything. always. it wasnt anything bad, dont get me wrong. but sometimes it was just hard to keep up with her. "ok, talk to you tomorrow alyssa. bye." i hung up, i was desperate to get in the shower. '

once i got in the shower, i felt so much better, and i wansn't in a hurry to wash up either. i took the shampoo that i brought from back home and squirted a large amount in my hand. i made sure i washed it all the way through. after i was done in the shower i put on my pajama shorts and my cammy and headed off into the backroom. i could feel the drowsiness fall over me as i climbed into the bed. after about five minutes i quickly fell into a deep sleep, i knew i wasnt getting up early the next morning.
