Bound by Hearts

“Audrey!!!” Mr Bruce called “could you at least be fast with everything we don’t have all day, our driver could be here in any minute” he said while while running down the stairs.

“Yeah, yeah” Audrey replied lazily. She wasn’t happy with the idea of leaving Houston she had lived her whole life there. She couldn’t come to agree with the fact that she had to start a new life somewhere else. Worst of it all was that she knew no one there.

Gathering the last of her things, the scanned through the room where she had lived her whole life for the very last time. She was actually going to miss this place.

“Honey…” Mr Bruce said as he walked up to her “I’m really sorry things have to go this way I promise you you hun, you won’t regret it”

“Whatever”

“Really? Audrey?”

“The hell do you want me to say dad huh”? She stared at him dead in the eye “I’ll be downstairs” she said as she walked past him.

The flight was so long and quiet Audrey really needed to have a conversation with her dad but she couldn’t because of the way she bashed him the last time. She wasn’t angry with him, she couldn’t be. She was just mad at the idea of leaving Houston. The stared out the window while thinking of her best friend Emily.

Emily was the main reason she was sad. Leaving a friend you’ve known all your life isn’t something someone would wish for.

“I hope we don’t regret this dad” she finally found her voice. Bruce then gave an assuring smile.
