The wrong suitcase.
Prologue
'I will break these chains that bind me,
happiness will find me Leave the past behind me,
today my life begins
A whole new world is waiting,
it's mine for the takin' I know I can make it,
today my life begins '
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me? My name is Faith.
Today, I think, might just be the best day of my life.
No, it's not my wedding or any other special day. Today is
graduation, I guess that's special. Today, I'm leaving
this town for good. Today, I'm forgetting about everything
that happened here...
I guess people could say that I'm running away from my past
but I don't care. After everything that happened this year
I think I just need to leave.
Maybe someday in the near future I'll come back and sort
out what happened but that's not happening anytime
soon.
Don't get me wrong, I'll miss my mum, my dad and my
sister but I just need to get away from it all.
I keep on thinking that I'll leave this town and forget
what happened that awful day but I just don't think I ever
will.
I am, though, thankful that my best friend, Ava, didn't
leave me. I'm thankful that she didn't leave me like
the rest. She stayed by my side through everything and I
don't know what I would've done without her. Luckily
she's coming with me to college.
I look at myself one last time in the mirror. My flowy hair is
brown with caramel highlights and blue thoughtful eyes. My blue
gown covers my white sun dress.
Normal teenargers would go out to celebrate afterwards, not me
and Ava. As soon as the ceremony is over we are going to the
airport because there is simply nothing keeping us here
anymore.
This is the opportunity to start over for the both of us.
It's time to leave the past behind and start over.
"Faith! Get your a$$ down here right now." My sister,
Hope, shouts from down the stairs.
Yeah, I know what you must be thinking. Hope? Faith? What the
hell? But my parents are a little bit bizarre. And let's
not forget my older sister, Destiny.
I sigh and put down my brush on the hairdresser. I walk out of
my room and down the stairs the sound of my heels following
me.
I wouldn't normally wear heels but today I was -oh
well.
When I reach the bottom I'm surprised by a flash. Sigh, my
mother and her pictures.
"Honey you look great!" My dad tells me.
"Really amazing darling." My mother agrees.
I smile, "Thanks."
After and endless amount of pictures we finally head out.
The whole ceremony passes by in a blur and I can't help but
be happy that I'm finally leaving this place.
For good.

So, this is the first Chapter, hope you like
it.
