Dawn's Pov
I've recently uploaded a picture on my Instagram account. It was a drawing of a beautiful white-haired female. Which got three hundred and twenty-five likes. Scrolling through that list, I realized I knew none of those people and those people didn't know me.
They know I wear a white gold necklace with a heart-shaped diamond pendant, I have lots of freckles and draws a lot. But they didn't know my parents gave me away when I was a baby. Or that my boyfriend went crazy and died after making out with me.
They also didn't know I kept on having the same nightmare of my death. But as I scrolled through those likes, one name caught my attention. It was Lilly my adopted older sister.
We haven't talked since she moved away from St. Davids Pembrokeshire, United Kingdom. But she was always the one who defended me when I was younger, and my schoolmates would call me weird or make fun of me.
I haven't talked to Sam since I've moved out of his house, on my eighteen birthday and that was like two months ago. So calling him up to ask for Lilly's number doesn't sit right with me.
So here I am stalking her Instagram account, I knew she's living in Holland Park, London, UK. Her Instagram is full of photos of her and two other people, who I presumed to be her friends.
Thereafter, adding her number to my WhatsApp contact I exited the app and walked over to my closet. I began packing some clothes for my trip the following day. after packing all the essentials I would be needing I sauntered over to my bed.
The blaring of the alarm clock awoken me. Still half asleep, reaching over to my night table I tapped the button at the top turning it off. After laying for a good two minutes I removed the duvet from my face and checked the time on my phone.
It was almost eight and my train would be leaving at nine. And it took me thirty minutes before arriving at the train station, so I proceeded to the bathroom. After my shower, I got dressed in blue skinny jeans, a gray shirt, and my sweatshirt hoodie denim jacket.
Throwing my red hair in a high ponytail I grabbed my luggage and walked out of my apartment. Locking the door behind me I make my way down the steps, thereafter, hailing a cab I told the driver train station.
So here I am sitting in my seat on a train from St. Davids Pembrokeshire to London. I took my phone from my purse and began scrolling through her photos again. The same group of three, in bars in London, skiing together in Canada, and even eating pizza in Italy.
They look like they're inseparable, when I saw those photos I yearn to be close to someone. I wished my parents never gave me away, even though Sam love me like his very own I couldn't help but feel alone.
I haven't even told Lilly that I was visiting her, afraid she'll no longer want to see me. Nonetheless, I was full of energy. Tapping my right foot while scrolling through Instagram to distract myself.
Closing Instagram and going over to WhatsApp, I finally decided to send her a message.
"Hey, Lilly! I miss you! I'm in London. Can we meet at...?"
After hitting send I put my phone face down on my lap. Staring outside the window, until it vibrated indicating I have received a message.
"Dawn!! I miss you so much! Where are you? So I can come to fetch you."
Smiling at her message I began typing; "Pulling up in London Victoria station."
"I'll be there in a few."
With a smile on my face, I turned my phone off placing it inside my purse. Grabbing my suitcase and duffle bag I existed to train.
Walking over to a nearby bunch I took a seat and began scrolling through my phone. After some minutes of going through old sketches, I heard someone called my name.
"Dawn!"
Lifting my head from my phone I saw Lilly running from a distance, embracing me in a bear hug.
"Too tight, I can't breathe."
"Sorry! But I miss you so much! I see you've bloom into a beautiful woman."
"And you haven't changed one bit," I commented with a toothy grin, the girl still looks the same with her shoulder-length brunette hair.
"But you look way older," I joked, which cause her to laugh and nudge me in the shoulder with a playful glare on her face.
"Shut up, let's go I have so much to tell you," She said grabbing my suitcase and lacing her arm with mine. Taking my duffle bag which was place on the bench I walked with her to her car.
We pulled up at a two-story house, painted in pale yellow and white;
"Wow! You have a beautiful home."
"Thanks, but it's not only my home alone. I live with two other females: Paige and Nick" She explained taking my luggage from the trunk of the car.
Inside was even more beautiful and modern, going up the stairs she led me to a white door.
"You can stay in the guest room for as long as you like. So you go settle in, and I'll make us lunch."
The room was mint green. With a queen-sized bed occupying the middle of the room with white and green covers.
There was a white table stand on the left side of the bed with a night lamp. A window was right beside the bed on the other side of the room.
In the corner was a white dresser drawer with a small glass above, besides it was a door leading to the bathroom.
The room was pretty cozy with a small flat-screen television hanging from the wall. With a green and white polka dot bean chair in the corner. Thereafter, finishing folding my clothes I make my way downstairs to find Lilly.
"Something smells good." The words flew out of my mouth before I could stop them.
"It's not much, but I have prepared your favorite dish, Apple pie." She explained putting on her hand mittens to access the oven.
"Thank you, Lilly, it's been a while since I have some."
After she has finished with the pie she placed two slices in a dish and handed it to me with a glass of Apple juice. Thereafter, thanking her I began stuffing my face with the glory that was before me.
"Slow down, your eating like a starved person," Lilly said with a mischievous smile on her face.
"So have the nightmares stopped?" She asked.
"They did, but they have returned, that's why I'm here hoping a new scenery will change that," I murmured.
"It's going to be okay, I'm here to help," Lilly whispered.
