I Was Wrong. I didn't have a nightmare. I had a nice dream. I was sitting in a field of flowers. Back home. It sounds stupid but I liked It. Until My sister woke me up to look at cows. Who cares about cows? After I got made at her I decided to listen to my iPod. After about two hours we stopped at an airport.
''Come on,Hun'' My dad shook my arm and I followed my family into the airport. As we waited to get onto the plane I tried to block out negative thing in my head. I kept saying to myself; 'The plane wont crash.The plane wont crash' But I couldn't help thinking it would.
As we got on the plane I felt scared but I fell asleep again so I missed the long 7hour flight. When we finally arrived in New York City,I could Barely walk with tiredness so my dad carried me. When he let me into the car his white shirt had a wet stain on his sleeve. Oops. I looked out the window on the journey. I already hated New York. So Much Cars,Traffic,Buildings.My sister sat impatiently on the seat beside me. She was excited unlike me.
After 1hour we made it to our new house. I looked at it. It was quite big. Bigger then our last. The walls were light blue and it looked nice. Maybe I would like it after all. Ashleigh ran into the house and so did I. We ran up the stairs and I looked at the door. There was one door which had the words ''Olivia's Room'' written on a piece of paper outside it. I Opened it.
''Woah'' I looked in awe at my room. IT WAS GORGEOUS! The walls were me favourite colour; Light orange. My old bed was replaced by a double bed in the center of the room. My desk was there with a new green chair by it and my new rug was also orange. I sat on the bed. Its duvet was plain blue. I LOVED IT!

Cityside Part. 4.
The 3 weeks spent packing went by so fast. I ticked off every day on my calendar until it was the 6th of March. Moving Day. I woke up. It felt like a normal day until I went to my calendar. I sighed and walked into the almost empty kitchen. I tried to dodge the boxes as I went to sit at the table. I made myself some cereal and ate it slowly. My mom sat next to me. ''You excited?''she asked excitedly. I glared at her and she frowned. ''Are you, Ash?'' she looked at my sister. Ashleigh shrugged and began to eat. She didn't mind moving. I did though. After breakfast, We gathered up our last things. I went into my room. It used to have posters of my favourite music and animals all over the blue walls but now they were empty. My light green rug on the floor was gone. So were the wooden desk,the blue chair and my closet.It didn't seem right.
I felt a tear slide down my cheek. Any other child would be happy to leave such an empty,lonely town like Barklate...Except me. When I was much smaller we moved around alot. But I only really felt at home here. It was my favourite place in the world. I wiped my cheek,grabbed my bag full of stuff for the journey and walked slowly downstairs. I stood in the hallway for a long time until my dad kissed me on the forehead and hugged me. ''It'll be okay, Olivia. I promise.''he patted my head. ''You always break your promises.''I pointed out. It was true though. He promised me a new bed for Prim, some new clothes and books but I never got any of them. And they're just a few. There are plenty more. ''Sorry about that.'' he mumbled embarrassed. ''But when we move to our new home I'll get you all those things.And More. I love you kid'' he hugged me again and walked to the car. I followed him and sat in the backseat of the 7-seater car with Ashleigh,Prim and Toby. Our parents agreed to bring them as long as we took full responsibility of them We agreed.
As my dad drove us out of Barklate I took a last look at the place I used to call home. Another tear slid down my face and onto my jeans.I wiped my face with my purple sweater and looked down.Ashleigh held me hand and hugged me. I wondered why she wasn't being emotional...I drifted to sleep thinking of our new home. I bet that I was going to have A Nightmare.

Cityside Part.3.
''Olivia?Helloooooooooooo?'' Ashleigh was waving her hand in front of my face. I didn't respond. I couldn't. I was in shock. New York?! How could they??? They know I hate the city and then they decide to move to like,the biggest and busiest one?I knew we had to move,for the baby, but....New York? I was finally able to respond to them. I Jumped up and headed for the door shouting as I did So. ''How COULD You? You know Me And Ash Hate The City. What where you thinking?Lets make their lives worse and move to the place they hate the most?' I shouted in a bad imitation of my dads voice. ''I don't mind the city'' Ashleigh mumbled. I glared at her and stomped up the stairs and into my room. I slammed the door shut with more force than necessary. I sat on my bed and cried. It seemed babyish but I really didn't care. My life was in the countryside. Not Cityside. Countryside.
It seemed like hours until I finally calmed down. I rubbed my eyes and walked to into my sisters room.I knocked on her door. ''Come in'' a quiet voice said. I opened the door and stepped inside. Ashleigh was sitting on the floor reading a book.She closed it and smiled at me. ''Whats wrong,Liv?'' she asked worriedly. I just shrugged and sat on her bed with my knees in my arms. ''Its just....I cant bear the city. It will be some much different. I mean we have to start real school....I'm not good at making friends unlike you. Yours so outgoing...I'm not.We cant take any animals...I cant take Prim and you cant take Toby.''
I nodded to her ginger cat.He jumped up on the bed and walked over to me. Ashleigh looked at the ground. ''I guess you sort of have a point'' she mumbled. ''But I want to start real school. I want to make friends. And I'll persuade mom and dad to let me take Toby and you take Prim.I promise.'' she smiled crookedly. Just then we heard our mom from downstairs. ''Liv,Ash, Get somethings packed now. We're leaving in just 3weeks!'' she sounded excited. But I definitely Wasnt.

Cityside Part 2...
I adored my garden. I spent all the free time I had out there. It was a huge field with lots of animals in it. My dad was a farmer. He loved his job.Well told me he did. I dinnt quite believe him. I did most of his work for him. I strolled around the garden picking lovely,yellow daffodils as I walked. My mom would like these. She loved flowers. Just as I was about to go inside my little dog, Prim, Ran over to me.
I put the flowers on the ground as I picked her up in my arms. I patted her sandy coat of fur. I got Prim when we moved here,about 10 years ago. I was 4 so she meant alot to me then as she does now. Prim jumped out of my arms and ran out into the field. I was going to follow her but my mom called me inside ''Come inside,Sweetheart. Your dad has work for you.'' she called as she went back inside.
I picked up the flowers and skipped inside. My dad was shaking his head at Ashleigh's work results as she frowned. I gave to flowers to my mom and she praised them,just as I suspected.When I sat down my mom took a seat next to my dad at the table. ''Olivia...Ashleigh...We Have Some News'' My dad stuttered. I put my feet on my chair and hugged them. I knew what was coming. ''What?''I murmered. ''Well...Here In Barklate...We feel kind of....Lonely, you know? We are surrounded by trees and they're not such good friends to you two.'' I looked at my sister she was looking out the window. She knew what they were going to say too. My mom sighed. ''We have two great news. One...'She smiled and looked down on my dad. ''We're going to have another child.'' Great, I thought to myself. I thought my parents knew better than to bring another child into this world while my dad was losing money buy the second. Guess they were still 'Lovebirds''. ''And'' she started again 'We're moving.To America. New York City'' Once She said city...My heart stopped beating.

My Four Decisions - Part 7
My Four Decisions - Part 7
Page 7
That night when I had completed unpacking all my clothes and placing all my furniture in my room I felt tired. It was a long day and my eyes looked puffy after all the crying from later on today. I got ready for bed and then walked towards the spare room and landed myself gently on the bed. I then drifted into a deep sleep not realising that I was lying on top of the quilt. I was too tired so I just lay there sleeping.
When I woke up in the morning, I was shocked when I reminded myself that we had moved. It was true, it was still like a complete fantasy to me. I decided to get up and go downstairs to make some breakfast and get an early start on organising more of the furniture and supplies I still had stashed in the corner of my New bedroom! I absolutely adored my new room. I walked into it and the window was glistening from the sun shining on the rainbow tinted glass. I stood in my room mesmerised by the colours painted on the wall by the window and the sun.
After I had seen enough I stumbled, still tired, to the stairs and glided down keeping my hand on the banister to keep me steady. When I got to the bottom I walked to the kitchen feeling slightly more stable. “Mum?” I called wondering if she was up.
“Yes sweetie, you’re finally up, lazy lump!” she smirked and patted me on the back.
“Yup, I guess I am…at least I think I am…” Wondering for a while if I was going crazy…and if I actually just said that…was I awake? Duh! “Wait, never mind….I must be still half asleep.” …I so wasn’t, I was just going crazy!
“Ok darling, I believe you.” she smiled. She didn’t believe me, did she? Huh, so much for a mothers trust.
“Um…do you want me to make breakfast?”
“I already ate sweetie, but you are welcome to cook for yourself.”
“Uh…is there any milk? Cereal?”
“Yes, in the fridge and in the top cupboard.”
“Thanks!” I said in a sarcastic tone. As if I didn’t know where they would be. Well…maybe I would have to search for the cereal…but there was only 6 cupboards…it wouldn’t be so hard. Milk was obvious. Unless I mistake the freezer for the fridge… ugh…I need to stop talking to myself in my head…wait…I’m doing it now…ugh…and again. Ok, quiet starting now.

Cityside.Part 1.
I looked in the mirror. I looked like I did everyday. Dirty jeans. A red flannel shirt. Black boots. I put my deep red hair into a ponytail and put my fringe to the side. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.
My dad was sitting at the table on his laptop and my mom was cooking up pancakes. I looked just like my mom. But instead of a beautiful shade of green,my eyes were muddy brown. She smiled at me and I smiled back. I sat down at the table next to my 11 year old sister,Ashleigh. 'You ready for school,Olivia?' my dad asked me. I shrugged.'Not like I have much of a choice' I murmured as I ate my pancake. I was home schooled. Since I lived out in the middle of nowhere in England I didn't exactly have much of a choice. I never had any friends. Me and my sister were close enough.
My dad passed us both a sheet of math questions and we set to work. I was done first,of course. My sister was only on the third question. After a while my dad looked at me. 'Very Good,Liv. All Right.' He smiled his crinkly eyed smile. 'Meh' I shrugged. It wasn't exactly a newsflash. I always got top marks. While I waited for Ashleigh I decided to go outside for a bit. I asked my dad for permission and he agreed. I got up and opened the back door.
To be continued....
New Story.
I thought my old story was basic,drab,boring just like every other one so im starting a new one. What happened in the last one was that Valerie and Jayson went out,they were happy,Valerie has to move away,yadda yadda yadda. you can guess the rest.
Sorrry :S Soooo Very Sorry/
My New Story Is Called Cityside.
I`ll start it in my next post.Again,So Sorry :'[

My Four Decisions - Part 5 & 6
Page 5
I was so amazed. I turned to look at mum who was staring at me trying to read my face expressions.
I gave he a huge smile and said “So…which room is mine?”
“Umm…you can choose!” She said still piercing her eyes toward my face.
“Great!” I sprinted up the stairs in what seemed like five seconds. I looked at all 6 doors stretched out in the landing. I ran toward the first one and opened the door…it was the bathroom…huge! It was probably the biggest one I have seen …ever…like one of those bathrooms you would see on MTV Cribs. It was glistening. I closed the door behind me and ran toward the second door. When I opened the door…I saw it. There it was…my dream room. It was probably 4 times the size of my old room which wasn’t actually that small…until I saw this one anyway. I loved it so much. It had a huge window with a balcony. The weather outside was very hot, I could definitely start sunbathing… although…I didn’t bring a bikini with me. And…wait…a built in wardrobe… “O-M-G, How is this happening?” I stood inside the wardrobe and inhaled….you could smell the scent of new wood. I stepped out and smiled then I turned to look at the other half of the room…another door…I wonder what it could be?…I walked over and turned the handle. It was a bathroom. Not a toilet, an actual bathroom with a bath tub and a shower…and everything!
Part 6
Page 6
“Mum! Mum? MUM!” I shouted my mums name as if I was practicing a line for a play…reaching different heights with my tone.
“What’s wrong?” Mum came running up the stairs and into the room.
“How? I mean, how did you afford all of this mum…Its my dream room!”
“Darling, I meant to tell you but I couldn’t find the right time…so here it goes…” She paused, took a sigh and continued, “Well, you see my aunt, Margret, died of Cancer a few weeks ago. And she left me a lot of money in her will.” She smiled but looked slightly sad at the same time.
“That’s great! Oh …wait…I didn’t mean it like that I meant to say it was …great that…well…”
“Darling! I know! It was a shock to me too…and when I saw how much she left us…well…I nearly fainted…” She stared into my eyes. Of course she would nearly faint. It was mum. She was so emotional. I better not take after her… I laughed a silent laugh and said “Yup…that sounds like you mum!”
She laughed and sighed. “Yep. I guess it does. Well, I am going to go and unpack some of the furniture. I’ll let you settle in.”
“Thanks mum! That sounds good…although…were is my bed? I thought you were getting all the furniture delivered here?”
“Oh, I ordered you a new bed and mattress.” She smiled as if she was relieved that I finally stopped using that mattress. I think I had it since I was…about 3 years old.
“Oh…well…were will I sleep?” I asked in a sort of desperate voice.
“You can sleep in the spare room for now. Just until your new bed arrives.” She smirked.
“Ok!” She turned and walked out of my room. “Wait mum… how much did we get?” Referring to the money.
“10 million.” She turned again and walked downstairs.
“Wow!” I said under my breath.
We were rich! …Millionaires! …Ah! I could go visit Sarah now! …Well not now…but soon…or she could come here… This had to be a dream…I pinched myself. “Ouch!” Nope…it wasn’t a dream…it was a fantasy!

Losing You.Part 3
The day passed quickly until it was time for Audrinas football tryouts. Jayson and I sat down in bleachers and were watching the game. We were cheering and whooping for Audrinas team until he looked at me.
''Wanna go out sometime?'' he asked. The question didn't take me by surprise. I was used to him saying that to me and Audrina. ''Sure!''I said. ''What day though?Because Audrina cant make it this Saturday bec-'' ''Just me and you. No Audrina'' I looked at him.
FINALLY! I thought to myself. I thought he'd never ask me out!!! ''Sure,Jay! Id love to!'' I smiled. ''So how about this Saturday?As you said Audrina will be gone so we don't have to tell her about it''He winked. I felt butterflies in my stomach. I laughed. ''I'll call you'' suddenly a whistle blew and Audrina ran over to us.
''So...How did i do?'' she sang. I wasn't really paying attention to the game so I just pretended. ''You Did Great Audrina! I'm sure you`ll get one the team'' I said. She nodded and went to get changed. Jayson and I walked out of the room and waited at the lockers for Audrina.

Losing you. Part 2
''Hey Val!'' Audrina smiled as she hugged me. ''Hey Audrina. Did you have a good trip to Spain?'' I asked her. She nodded ''Yeah i did but i missed you so much!'' she said as she hugged me again. Jayson then approached us. I smiled nervously. Jayson was my best friend but i had a dark secret. I really really really liked him. I never told anyone that.Not even Audrina. And if i was to tell anyone I swore to myself that he would be the first to know.
I looked into his big brown eyes but seemmed to get lost in them. ''Hey Valerie. Have a good summer?'' He smiled. I wondered why he'd asked that as i spent most of my summer with him and Audrina even though she was gone all August. ''H-hey Jay. Yeah it was good'' I barely stuttered. The bell suddenly rang. Audrina linked arms with me. ''Lets go!I so don't wanna be late for my first day back. I cannot wait for football tryouts!'' she kept babbling on about sports. I wasn't really paying attention i was thinking about Jayson. ''Um...Val?Did you hear what i just said?'' Audrina questioned, interrupting my fantasies. ''Sorry. I was daydreaming. What did you say?'' i mumbled. ''I said Jake asked me out!Can you believe it?'' she sang as she jumped up and down. Audrina had been crushing on Jake Crow since we were about 6.''No way!Congrats Audrina!''
Actually I could believe it. I knew Jake liked her back because every day last year Jake would ask for her pencil or try talk to her and sometimes i even saw him skip class and watch Audrinas football practise.We walked into school as she talked about where they were going on their first date.

My Four Decisions - Part 4
My Four Decisions - Part 4
Page 4
“Jessie? Are you ok darling?” She asked which a gentle expression on her face.
Not this question again…was it the third time I have been asked? “Yup! I am totally awesome!” Again with my lies.
“Good!” She turned in her seat and started the ignition. She didn’t look convinced with my answer. I always thought she could see through my lies. I would have to get better at that. Not that I enjoy lying, it actually pains me to lie.
The rest of the journey was pretty quiet. I slept a good bit of the trip and when I woke up we were just turning into the driveway of a huge modern house. I was confused…was this our house? The new house mum said would be just ‘a bit bigger’…I doubt it. It reached about 5 metres higher than my last house. The house I would always consider my home. I thought about asking mum to pinch me… I thought that maybe I imagined waking up, but I didn’t…right there in front of me was the proof. On the mail box it said “The Matthews’ house”. I was shocked! It was much bigger than Sarah’s house. How in the world could we afford this? Is mum’s new job really that good? I turned towards her in a shocked expression.
“Mum? How?” I was so startled with the shock that I couldn’t say anything more.
“Darling! I got a raise. My boss tripled my wages. I am now receiving 3,000 dollars a month. That’s how I bought… this!”
“But…you… 3,000?” I began to fidget with my fingers, thinking about being rich…or nearly rich anyway. It just hit me, if the outside looks so perfect….what about the inside. “Mum…I’m going to check inside!” I jumped out of the car and ran towards the door. I swiftly unlocked the door and slowly peeked through the side that was just the slightest bit open. Why was I hesitating? It was …my house!
I opened the door more hurriedly this time and stepped into the hallway. It was long and beautiful. Even though it was empty, it looked like a palace and I would be the princess. Ha, as if that would ever happen…but still …I did feel a bit like royalty.

Losing You. Part 1.
‘Valerie?’ I heard my mum call from downstairs. ‘Get up, honey or you’ll be late for school’ I grumbled and got out of bed stumbling a bit. I put on my ugly, navy uniform and went into the bathroom. I tried to sort out the big orange knot that was my hair. I sighed and gave up. I put some eyeliner on to make my blue eyes stand out and walked downstairs into the kitchen where my little brother, Nick was crawling around the floor.
I picked him up in my arms and ruffled his brown hair. He giggled and I sat him at the kitchen table. I grabbed a piece of toast and headed for the door. ‘Where are you going?’ asked my dad. I turned around to look at him. ‘I’m going to my first day back at school. Duh’ I pointed to my uniform. 'But its Sunday he laughed. 'Dad.Its Monday.' I sighed. He Looked At me confused.'Oh...I Knew that!'He laughed and walked back into the kitchen. Sometimes I wondered did my dad pay attention to anything.
I sighed and walked out the door. I walked to school and when I arrived at the gate i could see my best friends Audrina and Jayson at the door. Audrina skipped over to me, her curly blond hair swaying in the autumn breeze, with Jayson following behind her.

My Four Decisions - Part 3
“Where on earth have you been young missy? I was worried sick!” She threw at me in a harsh, angry tone.
“I was just saying good bye to Sarah!”
“What? Why didn’t you tell me? I have been waiting here for over 40 minutes thinking of the most awful things a mother could ever think of… and you just say all of that so calmly as if it doesn’t worry you that I am practically having a panic attack! And…”
I stopped listening after a while…I couldn’t get it out of my mind that I was leaving the one place I thought of as home. My home, the home to all my friends. And now I was moving away with my crazy mother which I could have sworn by this stage was on the edge to having a mental breakdown.
“Are you listening to me Jessica Leanne Matthews! I am not going to put up with this any longer! You never Listen to me!”
“Mom! Stop it! I am listening to you! I just couldn’t tell you. It was a spur of the moment decision! I’m sorry! But it was the last chance I get to talk to her ‘face to face’ for a while.”
“Its ok. I should have guessed you’d run off to Sarah!” She sighed and rolled her eyes.
Wait…what was that supposed to mean? ‘I should have guessed…’ ..Am I that predictable? Do I always run to Sarah?…No…I couldn’t let myself think that…although it was probably true.
That was the last thing my mum said to me until we were in the car ready to go.

My Four Decisions - Part 2
“Darling, what’s wrong? Are you ok?” Mum said with a staring glance.
“No. Its ok. I’m ok. I just need to… I need to… I’ll be back in a few minutes!” I ran to the door without hesitation to see the reaction of my appearance on her face. I jogged down the street until I reached a house, which was very glamorous. It was Sarah’s house. I stopped at the gate and opened it, carefully enough that I didn’t make a sound. I left it open behind me and walked toward the bright cream door. I hesitated when I reached the porch. I took a deep breath and dabbed the tears off my cheeks to make me look some way decent. And then I moved one step toward the door and rang the doorbell.
I felt scared, almost as if it was the first day of elementary school and I was alone hoping someone would come and stand next to me. Then the door opened, and there was Sarah standing confused at my appearance. She reached her hand out toward me and asked, “Jessica? Are you ok?”
Why was everyone asking me that question? Wasn’t it obvious what the answer was? I replied saying, “Yes! I just needed to come and say ------” I blanked out! I thought I had lost my mind…why did I stop thinking? I took another deep breath hoping that words would come out of my mouth. “I am sorry! I am so sorry that I am leaving! I am sorry I am such a terrible friend…I won’t blame you if you forget all about me. I won’t forget about you…never!” I felt lost. Sudden numbness ran through my body as if I had been injected with an anaesthetic.
Sarah grabbed hold of both my hands and I suddenly felt less shaky. “Jess! You know I will never forget you! It’s not your fault. Its just faith. You have to believe this is happening for a reason. We will stay in contact and maybe even visit each other during the summer.”
At that moment I remembered how religious Sarah was, she believed everything happened for a reason…I guess I was better to go along with it.
“We can? I mean…we can! Everything must happen for a reason…” I trailed of…thinking of what the reason might be.
“Of course we can! Of course it does!” She leaned toward me and rapped her arms around my shoulders. I felt the tears in my eyes again. This was it. I needed to say my good bye.
“Sarah, I need to go now…I sort of left at a bad time…we were just about to leave for the journey.”
Sarah’s face dropped. “Oh! Yeah, I guess…well…this is good bye?”
“No! How about…See you later!” I smiled hoping she would have the same reaction.
Sarah looked up from the ground and smiled letting out a small sigh. “Sure! See you later Jess!”
I gave her another quick hug and ran down the steps of the porch. I looked back and waved and turned back toward the gate. I quickly shouted “Smell you later alligator!” and laughed. We’re so cheesy.
Sarah laughed and replied with, “In a while Crocodile!”
I saw something sparkle on her cheek and then a tree disturbed my view.

My Four Decisions - Story 1 - Part 1
The day I moved. Probably one of the best and worst choices of my life. Why? It’s a long story. I’ll start from the beginning.
I had just finished packing my personal belongings when my mum called from the bottom of the stairs.
“Jessica, are you nearly finished packing? You know it will take us a long time to get there and we need to get there …before 7:00pm.” My mum said in a worried tone.
I replied, “Don’t worry mum. I just finished. I will be down in a sec.”
I stumbled across my room trying to dodge the boxes sitting on the floor. I reached my window and impatiently yanked the window open. I felt almost as if I was going to cry, thinking of how I would miss my friends and this house. Then I looked across the garden and spotted the little rose tree which me and my best friend Sarah planted when we were only 7 years old. A tear welled up in my eye and ran down my cheek. She, Sarah was my best friend. Would I forget her? Would she forget me? They were the only thoughts that ran through my head. How could I move? How could my mum have accepted the new job? Did she not think of how it would effect me?
At that very minute I grabbed my bag and ran straight for my bedroom door. I stumbled down my stairs realising my vision was blurry from the tears which sat in my eyes. My mum heard me on the stairs and walked out from the living room into the hall. I tried to stop the tears from streaming down my face but it was too late, she saw me crying.
