Lizzie was a rational girl. Sure, she’d allowed herself five minutes to completely freak out about being here, but then she got the welcome speech and realised fairly quickly that wasn’t going to get her anywhere. Nor was worrying about what was going on back home with her baby sister. Lydia would be fine, she still had Jane with her.
At least, that’s what she told herself.
She had a little bit of money, and a way to communicate with other people stuck here, which was where she started, a quick message to those in the same boat. Getting to know some people couldn’t be a bad idea. It was a start, at least. And an apartment, that bit was nice. She didn’t relish the thought of being in this place on her own at night. Not until she was more familiar with it. She continued mentally checking off the pros as she made her way in that direction. No Darcy. No Caroline. No student loans!
...no Jane, no Charlotte. No Lydia. Okay, that game wasn’t any fun at all.
As she kept walking, she realised she was passing a Starbucks, and the normality of it all made her laugh a little hysterically. Ignoring the weird look from a passerby, she ducked inside, curling her fingers around the edge of her sleeve as she approached the counter.
