It was refreshing being back in New York. Emi loved Europe, but New York had been ‘home’ for so many years. It was strange going to her family house all by herself though. It seemed like as soon as her parents had gotten this place, they gave it up to for London. A lot was happening in London at the time. Now, however, Emi felt the urge to stay away from London. After Aubrey's accident, her Uncle and Aunt's death… it seemed London was quite unlucky.
Emi left her suitcases at the front door and headed upstairs to her bedroom. It was still rather childish, but even now, she loved her pink paradise. She dropped her body onto the bed, finally relaxing for the first time in days. She didn’t have much time to relax though. She’d come just in time for her audition, which would take place in just 4 hours. Then on Christmas Eve night, she was heading to Unlucky London to surprise her family. She hadn’t told them her decision yet. She didn’t want them to talk her out of it or sway her ideas in any way. Her stomach was a knot of nerves for her audition, so eating was difficult, but somehow she forced herself to do it. Somehow, she mustered up enough energy to get dressed, stretch and head out for her dream audition. One of many dreams, that is. In the cab, she admired the concrete jungle that was New York City. Could she live here, on her own, as an adult? She didn’t know. If she made it to Juilliard, she’d have no choice, but it not, she still considered moving there. She was lost in her thoughts when the cab driver yanked her out of her daydreaming mode. “Miss? We’re here.” “Oh!” Emi jumped, startled, and began fumbling in her purse for cash. She handed the money to the driver and hopped out. For a moment, she just stared at the renowned performing arts school. She couldn’t believe she was actually here. Taking a deep breath, she gave herself a quick pep talk. “Okay, Emilia. You can do this. I know you can.”
