Until the Last Autumn Leaf Falls
Chapter 1
I stepped off the plane with my carry on bag in my hand. I was staying in London for the next 6 months with my best friend Maria, but I call her Fern. We are staying inquiry her cousin Mathew in his flat. We walked down the ramp to the force our way into the ocean of people rushing through the airport finding bags and friends and family.
We looked around for a sign that would point us to the area we could pick up our lugage at. We found the sign and pushed our way through the crowd. Fern had to drag me by my hand through the people. I am a naturally shy person. And I hate being in crowds, I usually avoid them but this time it was impossible to avoid. I wanted to stand off to the side and let Fern grab our bags. But she wouldn't let go of my hand. So I was forced to push through the crowd with her. We got to the conveyor belt and I am almost shaking from the anxiety attack I was getting from being in the crowd.
Luckily when we grabbed our bags we found Mathew soon after. His wad bobbing up and down in the crowd.
"MATHEW!!" Fern screamed as she ran up to him.
"Maria! It's so good to see you!" he said
"and you must be Kelley?" Mathew asked.
I nodded my head and gave him a smile.
"so are you girls ready to see the flat?" he asked helping us with our bag.
"Yeah! This summer is going to be AWESOME!" Fern yelled
I laughed at her dorkyness and walked with them.
Mathew is about our age. He is 23 and we just turned 18. We decided to come to London for the summer and the fall before we start college. The only thing is my parents think I'll only be down here for the summer. They don't know I'm staying for an extra 3 months.
Mathew helped us put our bags in the car and we got in his car and drove to his flat. It was about a 20 minute ride. We pulled up to this modern building with one similar to the left of it. We grabbed our lugage and walked into the building. Mathew's flat took up the first and second floor of the building.
When you first walked in it was a big white living room to the left. It had big leather coaches with a flat screen tv sitting on top of a cabnet full of movies. Seperating the kitchen from the living room was a bar stand. With tall black stools. Then in the kitchen it was white with black marble counter and glass cabnets. Then in the middle was an island counter with appliances in the cabnets underneath. Then there was a bathroom door to the left. And glass sliding doors leaving outside to the pool which the two buildings shared.
In front of the door is the stairs. When you first in you see the stairs. When you go up you make a turn to the left to the only hallway upstairs.
To the left was mine which overlooked a park. And to the right was Fern's which overlooked the pool and then Mathew's was at the end of the hallway.
In my bedroom there was a dark wooden bed frame with a matching vanity, dresser, and night stand. The bed was fo the right when you walked in. The bed had a sky blue comforter on it with white pillows. The dresser was exactly in front of it. And the vanity was to the left when you walked in the door and the night stand was on the right side of the bed. The walls were white with white lights strung around the perimeter of the room. The window over looked the beautiful park. On the left side of the dresser was the bathroom. It had a shower, toilet, and a sink, plus a cloth hamper.
I put the suitcase on the bed and looked out the window. I saw a soccer net. I walked over to Fern's room.
"Fern do you want to go over to the park and play some soccer. It's 6:00 so we have a little more daylight time" I said to her
"yeah sure. Grab your soccerball and let's go. " she said. I did as she said and we walked down the stairs.
"MATHEW WE ARE GOING ACROSS TO THE PARK. BE BACK LATER" she yelled into the house and then we left.
