Sebastian smythe 23 years old and on his way to start his own life and after four years in new york at law school he is ready to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big apple.

As the train he is on pulls into westerville station he is exhausted he looks at his pocket watch its only six thirty pm but he has been travelling all day and cant wait to get to his new home.

The reason he chose westerville was quite random ue went to a property auction in new york and been from an extremely wealthy family he had the money to bid on a house.

His reason was he wnted to get away from his father he gog on with him but his dad was the most successful lawyer in new york and he felt he would constantly be in his fathers shadow. So when he saw the photograph of a pretty house in Westerville at the auction he bid for it and bought it.

So now here he was about to get off the train and see the town that would be his home for the foreseeable future.

Once out of th station he hailed a cab and sat looking out of the window as the cab tuck him towards his new home.

After four years of nothing but sky high buildings in new york the luscious greenery of westerville was a welcome change.

Finally the can pulled up outside the house that would be his home he smiled to himself as he got out of the car.

The driver helped him with his four suitcases and Sebastian thanked him with. Huge tip.

" Well this is sebby" he said to himself as he unlocked the front door.

The house was old and smelled dusty but there was just something so homely and welcoming about it.

He left his suticases in the entrance hall and toured the house it was a big house nothing like the house he had grown up in but it was still big for one person.

He walked around thinking about which bedroom he should use as an office his parents were sending the rest of his things in a few days.

As he walked into the master bedroom he walked over and opened the windows to let the dusty smell out.

He stood looking out at the garden his new home had it was overgrown the house and garden needed work but it was obvious the house had been a happy home once and he was sure it would be again.

His stomach rumbled and he made his way back down stairs ans pulled one of the suitcases into the kitchen he had brought some food with him as he wasnt sure what time he would be getting to westerville.

After a quick dinner he sat in an old chair in the living room with the windows all open he sat drinking a much needed scotch.

It was as he sat there he heard yelling he got up and moved towards the window he suspected the yelling was from the house cross the street from him.

As he stood there the front door of the house he was looking at opened and out stormed a man about his age he watched the man get into a car and drive away.

Sebastian downed the rest of his scotch and closed the windows and headed up the stairs having taken his suitcases up earlier. He had brought bed linen and had changed the bed in his bedroom.

It had been a long day so just before nine pm he was in bed ready for a goodnights sleep and ready for tomorrow his first full day in his new home town.

Later that night

Sebastian was woken at two am by the sould of a car door slamming he got up out of bed and saw the same man he had seen earlier now storming back into the house.

The next morning

After having breakfast Sebastian was redy to get his new life underway he had an appointment with a local realtor to find the perfect building for his law firm.

They were meeting at his house which was good because he was yet to get his barings of the town.

The realtor was ten minutes late which annoyed Sebastian has he had a lot to do and he always hated waiting for anything anyway. Been the only son of one of America's richest men meant he never had to wait for anything.

The realtor showed him four potential buildings and Sebastian had a moment like he had with the house he now called home with the third building it was perfect he thought and put in a offer now he had to wait.

After the realtor let him on main street Sebastian decided to take in the sights of his new town and headed firstly to the car showroom as he wanted a car.

Sebastian was rich and determined and knew what he wanted which meant twenty minutes later he was the proud owner of a brand new car.

He drove his new car to the local butchers to get some meat in for dinner he parked his car and admired the gleam of the sunlight on it before heading into the butchers.

As he walked in he saw a woman at the counter awoman who tuck his breath away she was beautiful and was having a conversation with the butcher.

Sebastian didnt like waiting normally he found it rude when other customers enaged staff in conversation when he was waiting to be served but not today he seemed unable to be annoyed with her.

She was wearing a navy blue dress with white polka dots and a red belt he had always loved navy and red together.

The woman finished talking with the butcher and walked out of the store Sebastian stepped forward and ordered what he wanted.

Afterwards he headed to the local grocery store where he saw the man who lived opposite him yelling at a man who he figured was the store owner.

" look how hard is you sell food i want to buy food so get what i want in ok do you want me to take my custom elsewhere" the man was yelling.

Sebastian headed inside and got a few things and headed to the counter where the woman he had seen in the butchers was been served he smiled to himself.

As she was about to turn and leave the store Sebastian stepped i front of her she looked up at him surprised.

" hello im Sebastian smythe im new in town " he said

"Hello im rach..."she started to say but was cut of by the man from the hpuse opposite him.

"RACHEL COME ON" the man yelled Sebastian wondered if the guy was actually able to talk normally.

"Sorry" Rachel said and scurried away after the yelling man.

Later

Sebastian arrived home to see rachel was stood on the front porch of the house opposite his.

Something about her had caught his attention and he wanted to meet her properly so he got out of his car and headed towards her she seemed uneasy about him approaching her.

"Hello it seems we are neighbours " he said smiling at her it was thsn he noticed the wedding ring on her finger just as the door opened and yelling man came out.

" who are you" the man said glaring at Sebastian.

" im Sebastian wmythe i just moved in across the street thoughti would introduce myself" Sebastian said holding out his hand which the man shook.

"Hunter clarington this is my wife rachel" hunter said still glaring at him.

" nice to meet you both" Sebastian said

" is there anything else because i have things to do" hunter said

" no thats all i will be off like i said it was nice to meet you" Sebastian said turning and walking away. Two thoughts crossed his mind as he walked to his car to get his grocies out. Firstly he felt sad that rachel was married and secondly he didnt like hunter clarington at all.
