loving of life

Dear 'Ellie', count me in

~~~~~~~~~~Ellie’s POV~~~~~~~~~~~
I drove home with a massive smile on my face. Music had been such a great lesson. Me and Alex just laughed and joked the whole way through it... best thing about tomorrow was I had music again, first lesson.
I pulled up to my drive to see my mum threw the window. She looked out the window to see i was home and a massive smile spread across her face. I smiled straight back at her. I stepped out my car and smelt the clean fresh air. I heard the front door open and saw Sammy’s little feet running as fast as he could to me with open arms to me. I knelt down on one knee and flung my arms around him and picked him up and spinned him around, hugging him as tight as i could.
“How’s my little boy doing?” I said still squeezing him
“I’m not little, I’m 6...nearly 7! I’m big now” he said in his sweet little voice. I placed him back on the ground and ruffled his golden curls with my hand.
“oh yes, i forgot” I said taking his hand. I turned around to look at my new street to see Alex outside of his house looking at me, just smiling. I smiled back and walked into the house with Sammy.
“How was your first day, love? My mum asked flinging her arms around me
“Great” I replied
“Made any new friends yet?” mum smiled
“Yeah, Hailie, Evey, Chloe and Alex... and kind of Jack”- me
“That’s great, hunny”-mum
I walked up the stairs to my bedroom and threw my bag on my bed. I sat on my desk chair and turned around and sighed at all the boxes i was yet to still unpack. I turned on my laptop and logged on to facebook to see a inbox from Alex

I opened YouTube up and type exactly what he told me to put... I pressed play and leaned forward in anticipation. The song started and my heart melted... it was perfect... he was perfect... it was hypnotizing. I fell in love with this song... with his voice...with him.

I walked down stairs and i couldn’t help but smile. I helped my mum pack the kitchen and time went by so quickly before i knew it, it was 11 o’clock at night. I rubbed my eyes and walked up stairs to my room. I slipped out of my clothes and into my pyjamas. I walked over to close my curtains. A figure in a window caught my eye from the house opposite. I looked closer to see it was Alex. He stood there and waved at me... I smiled back. He blew a kiss to me and I pretended to catch the kiss. I gave him one last smile and we both closed our curtains.
I slipped into bed and snuggled down. I felt my phone vibrate, so i looked at my phone
