Middle Of Nowhere

My eyes were hardly opened, but the sun still beamed through the thin, transparent white curtains. I wasn’t planning on getting up so early, but I couldn’t sleep another second just knowing that I could have gotten that email at any moment.

I roll on to my side, reaching for my glasses on the bedside table. I grab them and put them on. I was glad I didn’t have a bad eyesight, just a slight pinch of blurriness that was passed down to me from my mother.

Speaking of my mother, I know she’s awake. I can smell the coffee coming from the kitchen. It wasn’t a big house, so I could always smell whatever she was making or cooking. Most of my mornings were full of the scent of chestnut or vanilla coffee and cinnamon toast.

The birds chirping outside my window always made me have a good mood to start with. But the fact that I knew I didn’t have anything to look forward to during the day, always made me feel horrible once it sunk in.

‘’Another day to be wasted away,’’ I sigh to myself as I get out of the bed.

Once my feet hide the cold, hardwood floor, I was fully awake. I go to my dresser and pull out some clothes. I took my time getting dressed this morning, just to have my dreams crushed, probably, later on when I get on my laptop.

I wasn’t too sure why I always wore a little makeup. I guess the fact that I wasn’t pretty always got to me. But you know, it is what it is. I can’t change the way I look, and I wouldn’t if I could.

After grabbing my laptop, I sit on the bed with my legs crossed, the computer in my lap. My door opens just as I login into my email.

‘’Hi, sweetie. You’re mom wanted to know if you wanted anything to eat?’’ Brad asks me.

Brad is my mom’s boyfriend. Its sickening to think that my mom has a boyfriend, but I don’t. But whatever. My dad and my mom split about seven and half years ago. I was only twelve at the time. I knew exactly what divorce was.But Brad.. I don’t like him. He thinks I’m stupid, I assume, because he beats on my mom and apparently he still believes that I don’t know.

But any one could figure out by just looking at the bruises on my mom’s body. She’s so fragile, and he treats her like a piece of shit. Which she isn’t. My mom deserves better, but she just doesn’t have the courage to man up and tell him to leave. So, I keep my feelings to myself.

‘’No.. I have a water from last night. I’m fine.’’ I shake my head gently, not even looking at him.

He doesn’t respond, he just shuts the door. Good. I’m glad he didn’t talk to me. I hate his guts. We were better off with out him.

‘’Now, lets see…’’ I mumble to myself as I look for any new emails.

I notice one that came from the person I was hoping that would respond. Lou Teasdale, She’s the stylist for One Direction. I’m very grateful that she was looking for help. I had just completed cosmetology school in March. Its June, and I was hoping to get a summer job.

And thankfully, I just might.

I open the email, and read it. Part of me was nervous. The other part was confident and ready to take whatever decision she had made.

Cheyenne,
I thought about you while I was deciding on the person I was choosing. And to be honest, you seem like the perfect pick! I hope you agree to do this! And don’t worry, you won’t have to worry about expenses and all that mess, we got that covered completely. I will get back to you as soon as I can. I’ll let you know exactly what day you’ll start. We’ll send plane tickets and all, so you don’t have to do that either. We can’t wait for you to join us! Even the boys are ready to see a new face around here. We can’t wait! Love you already!
Sincerely,
Lou Teasdale :)

I nearly died. My heart was racing and I was smiling like crazy. I get a chance to get away from here for a while. I get to relax and do what I love doing. I get to meet all kinds of new people, and I don’t have to worry about what the next day brings.

I can’t wait.

My life is about to change. And trust me, I’m ready for a change.
