After thirty minutes of constant running room to room, Laura had all her belongings in one suit case.
Being an orphan for so long Laura ended up spending all the money she earned from her part time jobs to pay for college rather than indulging herself.
Looking at the time with passport and ticket in hand she did a little walk around the large worn down building she called home.
Living there for as long she had, reminiscing in all the memories she had made Laura held a small little smile on her light pink lips.
With a long sigh she gave a meaningful glance towards Ms.Johnson as she stepped out the large wooden doors of Grace Orphanage one last time.
"Where to miss?" said the scruffy middled age man with an old New York Yankees baseball cap on.
In a quiet voice due to being a little intimidated by the man and still uneasy from the sudden trip.
"JFK airport please"
"Jesus miss! If you continue to be shy like that people will take advantage of you, especially a young beauty like you. So speak up for your self." his loud hearty voice filling the small taxi.
Slight blush spreading across Laura's cheeks as she chuckles along with the taxi driver, she gazes outside the window watching the orphanage and everything she knew disappear from her sight.
"I'll keep that in mind sir, thank you." giving her attention back to the main road trying to ease her anxiety she continuously's watches her surroundings pass by.

Twenty minute drive later standing in front of the sliding doors at the airport Laura couldn't help but stand still as she stared at the doors un able to decide wether or not to step in the airport.
For leaving New York and everything she ever knew the face she showed was utter calmness.
Holding the golden pendant in her balled fist, it unconsciously became a soothing mechanism after reading the letter left by her parents.
After five minutes she strode into the airport with a new found determination and courage knowing her parents could be waiting for her.
The calm and confident beauty walking through out the airport drew every mans attention as she walked towards her terminal.
Any man gazing at this tall slim beauty can't help but be sucked in as her long shimmering hair sway with her body as her aura of aloof she gave off stoped all the men attempting to talk to her.
Unbeknownst of the people surrounding her, Laura set off into the plane as she casually found her seat next to the window.
For the next nine and half hours from New York to Moscow, Laura slowly fell asleep watching the clouds slowly rise and surround the plane as it took off into the air.
Dreaming of her old home at the orphanage, remembering all her experiences and hardships she went though leading up to this point.
Waking up mid flight due too little turbulence, Laura gazed outside the window as the sun set with bright red, orange and pink hues shinning through the clouds.
"I wonder what they're like..." she quietly said to her self as she watched the clouds slowly pass by.
The rest of the following hours, Laura continued to gaze outside her window once in a while as she read some of her favorite Webnovel stories from her phone till she arrived in Moscow.
Moscow coming into sight, Laura thought to herself that all her studying of Russian would finally come to use.
Back when she was secretly earning her bachelors degree online Laura had a feeling a need to learn Russian as if it was meant for her to know. Thinking about it now she can't help but chuckle to herself.
"I guess this was all meant to be."
"Dear passengers, thank you for flying with us to Moscow! We hope you enjoyed your flight."
Walking off the plane towards the nearest airport exit waiting for a cab.
Even in another country with different culture standards of beauty, Lauras aura and looks still caught the men in the airport off guard unwilling to look away as she stepped into her cab.
*Russian translated to English from now on due to country difference*
"Where to lady" mid twenty year old man with a tired face said not giving a glance towards Laura.
"uhhhh I think the four seasons hotel sir, thank you"
"Is it the four seasons or not I don't have all day for your uncert-" now looking back at Laura the man suddenly stoped talking, taken by surprise of Laura he quickly composed himself so she wouldn't notice his miss speech.
"I'm sorry... it's the four seasons I promise!" with her bright eyes and clear tone she unintentionally caused the taxi driver to be stunned once again until he started to drive off towards the hotel.
As the taxi pulls away from the airport heading towards the four seasons Laura began to feel nervous and excited.
Feeling all sorts of emotions at once she continued to gaze outside the window trying to grasp the new scenery she was going to see for who knows how long.
"Hey mom and dad... I'm home."
