VICTORIA'S POV
"Dear diary, today is the last day of me being here. It's been exactly a year since the incident happened. I have been told that all my decisions are always impulsive and rash. But I am moving out of here to further my studies and maybe for a break too. Mom and dad would've wanted that, right? For me to live my life happily.
I know I'll miss here, but I think I need a change of life and place, otherwise, I don't think I'll ever be able to get over the fact that both of them left me to fight in this world alone.
I am moving with my aunt Marla in her town Pearly canines. The name's weird, right? But it is the closest to the university I once liked and will also help her look after me. She is great and super cool, I had always thought about living with her and having fun, but I never pegged that I would be doing that under these circumstances, I just hope I won't implicate too much on her.
Need to pack now.
Love.
Vic."
Writing the last entry of the diary, I quickly placed it inside the hidden compartment of my room, which was behind my wardrobe.
Just like today, even the entry I wrote on the diary was last, because it was the last page. Looks like I need to buy a new one as soon as I get there.
New life, new entries, new memories. That was my plan for the future, nothing too complicated.
I just hope things work out like I am expecting.
Checking one last time that everything was placed perfectly, I zipped my duffle bag and picked my suitcase. I had decided to only take few things, like my favourite clothes, necessities like my mom dad's photo album and all other small things that'll keep me happy and will make me feel at home.
Rest of the things, I just made sure was placed neatly and were not at danger of falling out of place.
Though I was moving out of this place, I don't intend to sell this property for now. It has memories of mom and dad with me. Maybe after the university will be over, I might come back and live here.
Making sure all the taps and windows were locked, I took one last look at the house before smiling sadly and locking the door.
"You're going Victory?" My neighbour aunt who was in police asked.
"Yes, aunty. I'll have to trouble you to look after the house." I said politely.
"That's not an issue dear. I am ready to take you under my wings and discard that useless son of mine if you agree." She joked.
"Hey!! I heard that mom!" A voice came from inside her house.
"It was meant to be heard." She yelled back to her son, before laughing politely at me.
I smiled sadly at the mother-son interaction. I just miss mom and dad too much, even though they were not my real parents, I never loved them any less.
Nodding one last time at her, I went around the house where a cab was already waiting for me.
Carrying the duffle bag and a suitcase, one in a hand each, I was off to the airport.
The town was at a three hours distance from the airport. And my flight would take around 4 hours, so all in all, I had to suffer almost 9 hours of travelling now.
Just great!
Plugging in my headphones, I quickly downloaded a few more songs, 3 audiobooks to listen when I will be on the flight. I know they have turned off phone policy everywhere, but I can always listen to downloaded songs in aeroplane mode.
Feeling greatly satisfied with my idea, I embraced the idea of gruesome travelling.
___________After 9 hours__________
I asked the driver of the cab to stop in front of the address that I remembered and took out my luggage before giving him the fair.
I don't know why but I was feeling a weird kind of vibe from the moment I have entered the city.
As if something is attracting me.
