THE CAR TAKES A sharp turn, veering to the side, and I hiss under my
breath as my already tense muscles coil even tighter. The driver mumbles
an apology as he rights us, though my reaction isn’t his fault.
Since sliding into the back seat of the black sedan at the airport, my
nerves have been frayed. With every rumble of the engine, my hands shake.
Each corner we take, my eyes clench shut. My heart races, and my skin
grows clammier the longer I’m trapped inside.
Driving used to be one of my favorite things to do. If I’d had a bad day,
I’d take my Audi R8 for a spin, rolling the windows down and letting the
fog of the day disappear as I flew down the streets.
But now, it’s different.
Instead of freedom, fear lives in its space, weighing my body down until
the numbness takes over, locking me in a bubble of darkness.
The radio blares through the speakers, hiding my labored breathing and
the squeak of leather as my fingers dig into the seats.
Finally, the car rolls to a stop, screeching as the tires halt on the tarmac,
and I force my eyes open. Flicking my gaze out the window, I feel a million
different emotions as I look out at Davis University.
As expected, it’s immaculate in its architecture, even outside of the glossy
brochures and expensive adverts. Sitting on a large stone foundation, red
bricks climb into the sky. High windows welcome the beaming sun,
overlooking the sweeping lake that flows along the edges of the grounds.
Similar buildings sit grandly amongst the green trees and sprawling floral
bushes, the whole campus drawing you in with its beauty.
In another time—another life—I would have found unimaginable joy in
being here. As it is, when I step out of the car, that happiness is nowhere to
be found. I feel only pain as I stare at my new home for the next four years.
Nothing is what I imagined it would be.
Giving myself a brief reprieve, I close my eyes and rub at the sharp ache
spreading over my chest, pulling in a deep breath before the what-ifs can
assault my thoughts.
“Miss?” I snap my gaze to where the driver stands. He stares at me
expectantly, the trunk popped open. “Where did you want these?”
“Shit, sorry,” I breathe, rushing over to him. Grabbing the duffel, I shove
it over one shoulder before struggling to pull the rolling case along the
cobbled ground. Thank God the rest of my stuff should have already been
delivered to my dorm.
“Fancy place,” he murmurs.
“Yeah,” I agree, turning back to the building as he rounds the vehicle. “I
guess so.”
