I can't believe how beautiful this view is. It's the first time I ever get on a plane, everything is so small and the buildings look like some Legos spread across the land. The wings of the plane were touching the clouds, drawing lines through them. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life. You're probably wondering why am I on a plane and where am going. Well due to my mother's work we had to move to New York. And that's where my story begins, I had to start a new life, I had to make new friends. It's a fresh beginning.

After a long flight, we were there. I'm in New York " the big apple" it was fascinating, breath taken. I looked at my mom and said "beautiful, it's beautiful" " is that all you can say?" mom said with a gentle smile on her face, she knew I was happy. I know that you're thinking that I must miss my friends back at home but I didn't have friends there, well to be exact I did have some if you consider a bunch of people who are always asking for money or asking you to do their homework friends. You see I was kind of an odd person, a bookworm to be specific. I've always found books a source of comfort to me, they keep you away from a cruel world where no one misses you or ask you. On top of that, they expand your knowledge, so it's a win-win for me.

I'm getting distracted again by books. God, I love them. Let's get back where we left now. Shall we?

We grabbed our bags and left the airport. We waited for a taxi to take us to our new house the one that my mom's company provided for us. And there I am pulling a book out of my bag like I usually do when I'm in a car and I started reading. I was so swollen by the book that I didn't hear my mom talking to me until she touched me, that's when she got my attention "sorry mom, I wasn't paying attention. Were you talking to me?" I Saied with a sad face "you're always reading." She said it with a smile that expresses love "why won't you look out of the window for a second and admire this sweet city?" I was confused. Why would I look out of the window I know this city so damn well and that's when It hits me, this is New York, I'm no longer in Florida. And as soon as I turn my face toward the window, my jaw was wide open and all could say was "wow" it was... it was wonderful, breathtaking. Tall buildings filled with neon lights. Advertisements were everywhere in every building. Fancy hotels and fancy restaurants were everywhere. There were so many shops from well know names to humble ones. It was beautiful that's the only word I could come up with to express how I felt. Right when I was admiring the view, a warm comforting hand touched my shoulder. It' was my mom's, I look at her and she was so happy with the fact that I loved the place here. She couldn't help but hug me and tears started running down her cheeks. I reached my hands and wiped them saying "I never saw you this happy mom, I hope you are always like this smiling no matter what happens or what we face in this life. After all, you are my only family and I can't handle seeing you sad" right after I finished what I was saying I pushed her a little far from me and kissed her forehead saying " I can't wait to see our new house" she laughed then added " you're going to like it. In fact, you're going to love it" that's when I got a little confused I thought that we were moving into an apartment. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against living in an apartment but we used to live in one. Then why is she excited about his one?

I wonder what got me here? I mean "New York" everyone is dying to live here. it's the land of opportunities and I'm just a little boy who lives with his mother. We are an average family well a little less than an average because it's only me and my mother plus my mother is a small writer. Okay, we are a little bit different but still "New York" we are truly blessed. I was excited about the life that's waiting for me here. I was excited for the people that I'm going to meet, the friends that I'm going to make and If I'm lucky enough to find a girl that love's me and accept me for who I am. I hope that I can execute my life in here as I like

From the room that's filled with a lot of questions about what's going to happen in my future, a hand reached for me pulling me back to reality. A worm sweet genteel hand, it's my mom again. She always saves me from myself, from my own stressing brain and imagination. "we are here baby" she said " when you leave the taxi close your eyes I want it to be a surprise okay?" her eyes were all sparkly and glowing from all the joy she had in her heart

I nodded my head and started leaving the taxi. As soon as my foot hit the ground I closed my eyes and stood still. I was hearing a lot of noises. I guess my mom was taking our luggage out of the trunk. I heard her footsteps coming closer to me then I felt her warmth in my eyes. She was covering them with her hands. "You can open them now but you still can't see anything" followed with a small jiggle, I smiled too "I know that you struggled with me a lot because my job didn't pay much even so you still held up with me. You always smiled at me, you always been nice to me, comforting me in my struggles. So this is the least thing that I can offer to you. I hope you like it" and she removed her hands revealing a nice modern, two floors house. It was gorgeous. "Is this our new house?" I was so shocked, that's all what I could've asked at the time "yes baby, yes it is"

Tears started falling on my cheek, giggles mixed with some cries started showing. It was overall a mixed feelings, sadness and joy. Sadness because I knew that my mom was truly hurting before, she was struggling and if it wasn't for my exciting she would've broken down into pieces. Joy because we are finally able to live happily in a house like this. I truly was happy. Thank you, god, for blessing me with being her son.

I turned around and hugged her so tightly, crying over her shoulder. I whispered into her ears " I love you mom" she pushed a little and kissed me on my cheeks saying " let's get in, hurry, grab the bags" I wiped my tears watching her moving towards the house. I took the bags in my hands and started following her. A couple of steps later, I reached the doorsteps. My mom pulled the keys from her pocket and put it in the door lock. I was so concentrated on the keys I watched it turn around the keyhole. The door started opening slowly reviling the inside of the house and my eyes were wide open amazed by the beautiful design of it. A spacious open kitchen next to it a living room, a dining room and a laundry room.

That was what I saw from the opened large door. I stepped in and started walking around the house leading myself to the stairs to the second floor. Started walking the stairs admiring the beautiful creation under me. and the second floor started appearing the first thing I saw was the master bedroom. I walked towards it shocked by the fact that it was so big. It had a master bedroom with a fireplace in front of it and a walking closet on the side a large one. Across the bed, there is a large bathroom with a shower and a bathtub that has a beautiful view. I went back to see the rest of the second floor, there was also another bedroom but it didn't have a walking closet and a bathtub but it was nice and there was a couple more rooms, a room that has a desk and some books and a gaming room. I went back to my mom running like a kid shouting " I'm taking the master bedroom, I'm taking it" she laughed so hard she almost cried. I was confused why is she laughing like that is there something wrong "it's already yours, I took the other room. I knew that you'd like it" I felt so stupid right after that and kind of selfish.

After a long five hours of emptying the bags and organizing them. I put my stuff in my closet and made my new room fit to me by filling it with a lot of books. I was so tired, I laid on my huge bed thinking about the school that I'm joining after three days. Yeah, three days the holiday is over, it's school time again and I'm so happy that it's over. I can't wait to enter my new school.

She was leaving, she left walking towards the sunset, she walked on the water like it was a solid ground. Leaving her footsteps on the disturbed water looking to me over her shoulders, "it's better for the both of us to leave each over, I don't want to lose you, you are more precious to me more than you can ever think. You are my world, my joy, and my sadness. Goodbye my love, my baby boy, hope we meet again when we're older".

I woke up scared, wondering who it was. Who was that girl, I don't have a girl in my love. A girl that love's me and scared to lose me, there is no way that girl is real she's only an illusion created by my mind to fill the gap in my heart. I was missing love, yes I said it even though I don't show it yet I did. I was wishing that a day where I find my beloved one comes.

Ignoring what I saw, I woke up and headed for my closet, picked out blue jeans and a white shirt with my black ovo's jordans to wear after that I headed for the bathroom to take a shower and do my hair. A couple of minutes passed and I went down to eat my breakfast, on my way down a heard a lovely voice singing, it was so beautiful, so gorges, it was like an angel singing, it was the haven's symphony. I rushed down the stairs to find out who's singing and it was my lovely mom, you must be surprised that I don't know my mom's singing voice. Yes, I don't because I never heard it before. I immediately started crying, the tears were falling like a waterfall, I was filled with joy, I finally witnessed my mom's happiness. I was standing there watching her so closely, she was cooking me breakfast while she's singing. A beautiful view that I'll never forget, yes that's the view that you want to see when you wake up. Yes waking up to your mom singing is like winning over the whole world, you achieved one of the most beautiful life goals. Suddenly the singing stopped and I came back to reality. Once again I was brought back by my mom, she really is my angel, who said that you need a lover in your life to feel complete happiness. I have my mom and I'm the happiest person on the face of the earth. "why are you always spacing out? Come sit down and eat your breakfast it's getting cold" mom said while she's putting the plates on the table. I took a seat facing my mom's and started eating. Every time I looked at her, there she is smiling at me. I swear I never saw her so happy to the point that made me ask her why was she that happy and she answers simply "You. Because I have you" it was so vague but it was enough for me. It was enough to make me happy too.

"I'm going to the mall now, see you later mom" I shouted from the doorsteps "be careful sweety" she replied waving at me. The mall wasn't far away from our house so I went on foot, I put my headphones on and started walking. It doesn't really look like I expected of New York. It was peaceful trees on the side of the streets and birds singing it was like a scene from a Disney movie. It didn't take long till I reached the mall, it was huge. Bigger then the mall we had in Florida at least. From shop to another I started buying clothes and everything I needed because I wanted to look good on my first day of school. I bought a couple of jeans and a couple of shirts also a lot of shoes especially Jordans. Well, a couple of hours went by during my shopping spree and I decided to leave. On my way back something weird happened, I bumped into a girl well to be exact she ran into me. My bags were all over the place and she was laying on the floor so I gave her a hand and helped her get up. God she's gorgeous, she had a long brown hair, she was so white just like the snow and she had a couple of beautiful dark brown eyes. Overall she was a beauty. "Umm, sorry for bumping into you. I didn't see you" and she took off just like that. I didn't know her name, why was she running, nothing absolutely nothing. Well, I collected my bags and continued on my way, wondering why was she running, was she in danger? Did she have an emergency? Could I help her more than I did? A lot of questions were in my mind but it's in the past now I can do nothing to change it. Believing in what I said I went back home.

"Mom I'm back" I shouted as I'm putting the bags on the table. I'm feeling something weird, wait, why is it so silent in here? "mom" I shouted again yet no answer. Okay, this is kind of weird, I went all over the house looking for her but she was no were to be found. Suddenly my phone went off ringing, it was my mother so I picked up "hey, mom where are you?" I was so worried, she never leave the house at least without telling me. "don't worry sweety, I'll be back in five minutes with a little surprise for you" she replied and I could feel the happiness in the tone of her voice. I didn't really know why was she so happy and what's this surprise she bringing home with her. "okay I'll be waiting for you, take care." And I hang up the phone.

What could she possibly bring? Maybe some new books? I was laying in my bed thinking about the surprise, well I have to admit I was pretty excited for it. I mean it's surprise from my mom it must be good, she always knew what I liked and gifted it to me, from books to clothes she knew it all.

And the five minutes went by so slow because of the anticipation, I got out of the bed and headed downstairs. As soon as I reached the living room and turned the TV on, I heard the garage opening, ow yeah I forgot to tell you that we have a three car garage. Yeah yeah it's not something you just forget but I did because I was so distracted by the look of the whole house, let's get back to where we left off.

That was a little weird because we don't have a car so why the garage is even opening? So I hurried to the front door to check out what's happening and my mom's face popped out in front of me. She quickly covered my eyes "no don't look, it's a surprise" " alright, alright. Jesus mom" I started laughing following her outside the house. " okay when I take off my hands don't start crying okay?" crying? Wait, is the surprised really this huge, to the point of crying? "okay mom, I won't" she started moving her hands away slowly, revealing one of my dreams. To be exact, one of my biggest dreams. A "NINJA300", yes a bike. "wh..... what?" I really couldn't speak, I was shocked by the fact that there is a "NINJA300" in front of me "you've always wanted one, didn't you?" does that mean that it's mine? No way that this is real, it's way too expensive for us "wait, is it mine?" I asked "yes honey, yes it is" huh? I must be dreaming right now. I quickly jumped on top of the bike feeling her texture, smelling the metal she's made off she was overall a beauty but there was one thing that I didn't notice a dark black McLaren. Yeah a McLaren 570s, you're probably wondering how I know so much about cars and bikes? Well, I told you that I'm a, yeah and I mean I read every kind of books, even books about racing and cars. Yeah being a bookworm doesn't mean you're a nerd, I kind of look handsome at least that's what I think. I'm getting out of topic again.

Yeah a McLaren, "moooooomm, what's that?" yeah I said it just like how you said it right now. " what do you think it is you, stupid kid, it's a car" okay, this is kind of weird how did she get all the money to buy all of this so suddenly? I was a little bit worried so I called her inside to have a little chat. "Mom, let's get inside. We need to talk" "well at least thank me" she said following me inside" we sat down in the living room, I sat close to her and said " well, it's time to tell me where did you get all this money from because from what I remember you're just a small writer, you made just enough to pay the rent and the bills. So what happened?" I was dead serious when I asked her because I don't want her to get involved in some illegal things and all I heard was laughter. Yeah laughter, she was laughing. I was really scared because I was serious about what I said. "don't worry baby, I didn't do anything illegal. Listen I was saving money all these 15 years from every single book I sell I save money. And the last couple of books were some huge hits, so I can now say that we are officially rich" no way that this is true.
