Chapter 1 - Chapter one

- Emma, ​​Liam hurry, I remind you that in two hours we have a plane to catch !

I wouldn't want to miss it all, because you forgot your chargers !

my mother cried, putting the suitcases in the trunk of the car.

So I'm Emma, ​​Emma Friedman.

In a few weeks I would be celebrating my eighteenth birthday. More precisely on September 5th and yes it was a few days after the start of the school year.

Unfortunately no, I still hadn't finished high school.

It was going to be my last year if I didn't repeat.

I'm not very bad in class but I got bored quite quickly, especially when it was subjects that I didn't like.

Let's talk about my family.

I have two brothers, finally one who lives with us and the other and well I knew absolutely nothing about it except his first name Steeve.

I am a reserved girl but quite open-minded. I really like music, it allows me to escape from this world.

On the other hand, you should know that I hate rap !

I am the second in the family.

Steeve, my older brother had never been a real brother to me, he had never been there when I needed a big brother by my side. In fact, he had never been there for anyone at all.

I also have a second brother named Liam who is seven years old.

He's a little monster but he could be gentle and caring when he wanted, that's why I love him.

Liam and I lived with our mother.

My father died on a missing plane five years ago. It all happened so quickly!

Liam couldn't remember him too much that was why we tried to avoid the subject at home.

The last time we had talked about him he had started to shed tears and went up to his room crying.

He felt different from his classmates, so he didn't have to worry.

Obviously everyone was different from the others but it was not because he had lost his father that he should feel withdrawn.

Shortly after his death, parents of students in his class quickly found out. They hadn't stopped telling their kids what had happened.

So little boys had tried to be friends with him out of pity.

It was nice of them but my brother didn't like to feel that way.

He told us that one day he was sitting alone on a bench and a little boy his age had come to sit next to him.

They had started to talk, to get to know each other. But Liam was sure this boy had come to befriend like everyone else had.

By talking to Arthur, he had learned that his parents were divorced and he understood very well what my brother was going through.

Today he had become his best friend, they helped each other with their homework, called each other all the time, went out together and he was much happier.

Two days later.

Today we were moving to Florida.

We had already left another city but never another country.

We were going to live in a really great city. Miami.

I had always dreamed of living there.

Back to the story.

- Yes, mom it's good we are ready! We arrive ! I shouted as I ran down the stairs.

Six hours later we had arrived very well.

The trip had gone well, a little too long but it was okay.

I was completely speechless.

It was truly magnificent !

I loved Miami too much !

Seeing this city in the movies or on social media was really not the same and the view outside the house was really fabulous !

It was a villa with one floor. On the ground floor there was a pretty kitchen, a toilet, a large dining room to feast and receive lots of people.

There was even a relaxation area overflowing with chairs and loungers with a swimming pool directly in front of about fifteen square meters.

It was surrounded by a large garden full of flowers.

But I could tell you that inside she was even more beautiful than outside.

To have a house like this, my mother had to save a lot of money.

In New York, we lived in a beautiful apartment with three bedrooms, of course we didn't complain about our life but we had to admit it, we were much better here!

I wouldn't mind living here forever!

All the neighboring houses were sumptuous but the one we had was really made for us!

Before unpacking all the boxes, I quickly went upstairs to see the rooms and choose mine.

There were three of them. Difficult to make a choice since they were all pretty.

Finally, I had managed to find my happiness. It was a room on the first floor next to the bathroom which was really cool !

It had a view of the sea, where there was a very nice terrace with two chairs and a small table. A coffee table with a beautiful old vase and pretty flowers.

The bed was super comfortable and yes of course as soon as I got home I jumped on it to test it.

Opposite the bed there was a small armchair and right next to it was a desk.

I assumed to work...

The good thing is that I didn't have to share it I had my own room just for myself !

My room was my favorite space.

It was quite large and well lit.

I already felt good there.

I feel that I will like it here!

Finally I hoped so.
