Chapter 1 part 1

Emeline's POV,

Lying on my bed facing the glistening galaxy on my ceiling, sparkling with LED lights that I've had since I was a kid. I would speak my thoughts to my starry galaxy, call me weird but I want my thoughts to be like stars that vanish when it turns a day.

Torn away from my thoughts a knock resonated throughout my room, sitting up to come into view with my fathers figure leaning on my doorframe, His arms crossed over his chest and his ankles crossed over each other, His face was neutral and his eyes studying my features like he was looking at me one last time.

Breaking his gaze he began looking at his feet. I was thinking of words to say but my anger just took over I couldn't stand my parents. Trying to calm my thoughts to use my voice box and stop this awkward moment between me and my father, my mother's voice echoed up the stairs.

"Honey come on we need to get going" she yelled from downstairs,

It infuriated me, where could they be going at 10 in the evening, After seconds of thinking I pushed it aside for the time being by my dad's sudden movement, he pushes himself off my door frame, dropped his arms to the side sticking them in his trouser pocket, he stood up straight and sighs with his head hanging low he turned on his heel and left, my eyes still focusing to where he was moments before, the front door slamming shut knocked me out of my trance.

Stumbling to stand up I scattered to the head of my bed to peer out the window, I see my dads hand on the handle and then looks up for a second but puts his attention back onto the car, the car lights beaming towards the house then backing out the driveway, the light vanished as soon as they set off down the road without looking back.

Turning away from my window I sat on my bed with my legs dangling over the edge.

I push off my bed and walk into my bathroom to start a bath before bed, I never had a bond with my mum, I guess it was because she would always work when I was younger so I spent my weekends with my dad and nanny.

An hour later I'm in a towel walking towards my wardrobe to grab some pajamas that will keep me warm, I grab a bottle of water from the fridge and ran back up the stairs taking two at a time, I turn all the lights off in the house and jump into my bed snuggling in my duvet so I was comfortable, I put my water to the side and grab my book I need to finish I put my side light on and let the book swallow me into a world of imagination before I knew it I was drifting into a deep slumber.
