Chapter 5

Star POV:

Arriving at the funeral home I stand at the entrance. I want to break down so bad, but I refuse to cry anymore I plaster a fake smile on my face and tell everyone thank you when they tell me how sorry they are for my loss.

The service is finally starting, so, I take a seat next to Lola and all my friends while everyone shares there memories of my parents, what great people and doctors they were, and how they would help everyone and anyone no questions asked. When my parents are laid to rest and most of the people have headed home for the day. I sit down next to my parents grave and make a silent promise that I will be okay and make them proud by finishing school, fall in love, make a family of my own when the time is right while always moving forward and looking at the good things in life.

Standing up I tell them I love them and that I will come back and visit every chance I get and make my way to the car. Travis drive us home when we get there I head upstairs because I rather not have to talk to anyone right now looking at all my stuff packed up in boxes ready for moving day tomorrow morning. I climb into my bed and have a dreamless sleep.

Thursday morning comes, and it's time to say goodbye to the only life, I ever knew hugging all my friends and letting them know. I will see them soon when they come to visit me next month. We give each other one last hug, and I follow Lola and Travis through the gates to board the plane to my new life in Wyoming.

Once on the plane I take my seat next to the window and tell South Dakota goodbye. It's going to take a little over four hours to get to my new home, so I recline my chair back as far as it will go, grad my blanket, and close my eyes hopefully to dream about my parents, and all the memories that I got to share with them.

Stepping off the plane I stop in my tracks not wanting to move feeling nervous all of a sudden. I guess it's because I'm in a new place I've never been before. Travis and Lola has always come to visit us back home during the holidays and summer break because mom and dad were always busy with work. Travis notices my discomfort and tells me everything will be okay, and that I will love it here.

We don't have to wait for our luggage because everything was shipped the night before so, it would be at the house when we got there. Arriving at the house I get out of the car and just stare at their house it is absolutely beautiful with its old-fashioned Victorian style it looks like a miniature castle.

Heading inside it’s just as beautiful as the outside with its high ceilings, wrap around staircase, dark painted walls, and a chandelier that hangs right in the middle of the entrance to the house. Lola shows me my room which is up the spiral steps on the second floor to the left. I open the door and am shocked at how big my room is Lola starts to laugh and says I take it you like the room. I start jumping up and down saying I love it. She finishes laughing and tells me to make myself at home, then when you are ready I'll give you a tour of the house.

Lola excused herself to help Travis, so I start to look around my new room opening the first door I come to I have a bathroom of my own with a stand up shower and separate bathtub. Coming out of the bathroom I go to the other door opening it's a huge walk in closet with all of my stuff already in it is some extra room for more items.

That's weird I thought Travis and Lola lived hereby themselves I'll have to ask them later. Finishing looking at my room the walls are a light green and brown color and right in the middle of the room is a king-sized princess bed. Looking out my window which takes up half my wall my breath hitches at the view. Outside there is an amazing garden with so many pretty flowers, and a water fall fountain in the middle following the stone path it leads to the forest.

I will definitely have to see where it goes later. Making my way back downstairs all the door are opened in the hallway, but for one that is locked. I wonder why since all the other doors are open but for this one I try to open it again after a few more failed attempts, I give up, and make my way downstairs to the living room.
