We got inside the car and drove for like 10 minutes since everything here is close by, close enough for me to walk if I chose to. The view as mostly vintage/old style buildings and they all looked fancy, nothing looked out of place plus the roads are always clean. I got out the car and followed my aunt like a little lost puppy and we got inside. The supermarket was huge and had a lot of shit inside. We got a few vegetables, fruits and drinks. We moved to the next aisle to get wings and pasta. I picked out the magnum chocolate bucket ice-cream ' My favorite ' , I thought to myself while feeling the rush of excitement in my body because I could not wait to devour this bad boy.
" You got everything you need? ", she asked while we are in the waiting in line.
" Yep, that's all I need ".
She paid for everything and we left. We got back home ' not home home but this is my new home '
When we got back inside I placed my Ice-cream in the fridge and rushed upstairs. " I'll let you know when the dinner is ready sweetie ", she yelled while I made my way to my room to comfortably settle in. I got inside and closed the door. I quickly remembered that I haven't called my mum to let her know I made it safely and my aunt asked if I did and I said 'Yes' just for her to not worry a lot. ' I'll just text her and call her later because I know the phone call will take hours before she hangs up ' .
I started to unpack some of my clothes since I won't be staying here for long. The university has a dorm which I'll be living but I have a feeling that I'll be staying with my aunt more but I don't know how far her apartment is from my school but If It's nearby I'll definitely visit more. I found a walk-in closet ' I don't have that at home in my room, this is kinda an upgrade for me ' . I still need to do a quick tour of this place but for now I focused on unpacking and once I was done I sat on my bed and called mum.
" Hello..?? "
" Honey, you finally called. I've been worried since neither you or your aunt called. Are you okay ? How are you feeling? Do you like the place ?? Are you settled in ", she started rumbling and asking too many questions at the same time. I guess she was really worried. ' Should have listened and called earlier ' .
" Mum, calm down. I'm okay and It's my fault for not calling earlier and yes I've settled in not so long ago before I called. "
" We miss you sweetie, your brother locked himself in his bedroom the entire day ", she said in a sad tone, she sounded down.
" I miss you guys too, but I'm settling in just fine. I just don't think I'll be the same when I move to my dorm ".
" You can always call me or your aunt when you feel like you're struggling. I don't want you to ever feel like you're alone. Call whenever you need anything, your father and I will take care of anything you need just focus on school and your mental health okay?? ". I felt like tearing up, they have done so much for me I can only be grateful and return the love by doing good at school
" Thank you mum, for everything. I won't disappoint you nor father. ", I snuffled up my tears with my cracking voice
" Don't cry Sweetie, otherwise I'm gonna cry too ", she giggled
We were on the call for about an hour until I got called downstairs. Dinner is probably ready.
" I'll call you before I go to sleep. Mia is calling to come have dinner. "
" Okay, we will talk soon. bye "
" Bye mom and tell that 'drama queen' I said "hi" ", I laughed out loud imaging my brother as a princess locked up in a castle all along.
She laughed. " He'll be very mad if he had you say that ".She hung up before I could answer. ' typical Evelyn '.
" AMANDA, I SAID DINNER IS READY SWEETIE!! ", yelled my aunt from down stairs.
" COMING!! " , I got up from bed and made my way to the kitchen.
