Completely Fallen
Hello London
"Tell me Pits that you will Skype us as soon as you get there okay?" Elaine said to me. I nodded smiling. We were in the airport, waiting to board my flight. I was on my way to London to visit my mom for winter break. I'll be in London for 1 and a half month, spending my Christmas and New Year there.
"Pia, you're so lucky! I wanna go with you so bad!" Sania said jumping up and down with excitement. I laughed at her. She has this habit of being so hyper a little bit too much.
"Well I wish I could bring all of you, but tickets are expensive these days" I said shrugging.
"But you're rich, you can afford it easily" Rayesha said winking at me. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Elaine is richer, and so is Meg" I replied turning to the two.
"Hey don't get me into this, Elaine is the richest." Meg said pointing at Elaine.
"Oh shut up, we both know are parents are too strict to let us go to London by ourselves" Elaine said crossing her arms.
"Flight Number 121487 flying to London, now boarding" A flight attendant announced at the speakers.
"Okay ladies, let's get going now" my dad said appearing out of nowhere, he must have gone to the comfort room. We stood up from our seats from the waiting area and made our way to the entrance of the train, carrying my luggage. We stopped and said our goodbyes.
"Aw Pia, I'm going to miss you!" Sania said hugging me.
"I'll miss you too, all of you guys" I said as we let go.
"Buy us some awesome clothes, will you?" Meg commented grinning.
"Yup and plenty of food" Rayesha added.
"Skype, Pia, skpye!!" Elaine reminded yet again. I laughed nodding. I turned to my dad and hugged him tightly.
"Take care, baby. I'll miss you, be good to your mother" he whispered in my ear before letting go. I took one last look at them and boarded the plane. I'm in the first-class section, courtesy of my mom, so I was seated near the front of the plane. As soon as I was seated, I drifted off to sleep, not having slept last night from excitement.

After 12 hours of flight, I finally reached London International Airport. I got out of the Terminal and searched for my mom. It was a few minutes before I found my mom with her new husband James. I hugged her the moment we saw each other.
"Hey mom, I missed you" I whispered.
"Oh baby, I missed you too. I'm so glad you can make it here" she said as we let go.
"Well, glad to be here" I said grinning.
"Hello Pia, welcome to London" James said looking at me. I smiled at him and replied a "thanks" to be polite.
"I'm sure you're tired, let's get you home" mom said. James got my luggage and made our way to what seems like a blue Porsche Panamera. I got into the back seat while they put my luggage at the trunk. Mom got in the car first then James in the driver's seat. He start the ignition and drove off.
"I was going to tell you this later but I can't contain myself from spilling so I'm just gonna say it" my mom said smiling widely while we were in the road.
"Say what, mom?" I asked confused.
"I set you up for a gig in a nearby cafe for this weekend" she said grinning. I stared at her wide-eyed.
"Ohmygod, what? Are you serious?" I asked surprised.
"Of course I'm serious, why would I lie to you?" she replied.
"But mom, I'm no good enough" I said meekly. I get nervous when on stage sometimes, especially in unfamiliar territory.
"Nonsense! You're incredible, you'll do great, we'll even go shopping for new clothes for the gig" she suggested.
"Wait up, how did you hook me up?" I asked.
"James is friends with the owner, you will sing right?" she asked back. I sighed, having no choice.
"Fine, I'll sing" I huffed. My mom smiled widely at me. I guess it wasn't a problem but I hope it goes well. We reached the house and got out of the car.
"You'll have the room with the balcony" mom informed.
"Great," I said smiling. I ad my eyes on that room the moment I saw it from below. James put my luggage in my room and I went straight to the kitchen, feeling hungry. I found granola in the fridge and started eating.
"Pia, we'll be at our room if you need us" my mom said from the hall.
"Okay" I replied simply. I finished the granola and made my way to my room, I slumped into my bed looking at the ceiling. A gig, huh? I thought of all the possible songs I can sing for the gig, until I finally drifted off to sleep.
"Pia, you're so lucky! I wanna go with you so bad!" Sania said jumping up and down with excitement. I laughed at her. She has this habit of being so hyper a little bit too much.
"Well I wish I could bring all of you, but tickets are expensive these days" I said shrugging.
"But you're rich, you can afford it easily" Rayesha said winking at me. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Elaine is richer, and so is Meg" I replied turning to the two.
"Hey don't get me into this, Elaine is the richest." Meg said pointing at Elaine.
"Oh shut up, we both know are parents are too strict to let us go to London by ourselves" Elaine said crossing her arms.
