Lauren’s attention was caught by her ringing phone resting on the kitchen counter. Her eyes went wide when she saw the caller id, it was from Southern Oregon University, one of the places she had applied for a job. Her anxiety kicked in as her heart started racing in her chest. She picked up the phone with shaky nerves and hesitation.”Thank you so much! See ya!”, Lauren hung up the phone with a huge smile on her face. Her energy reached a whole new level when she realized it wasn’t a rejection call. She got it! She actually got the job. This means she gets to leave Chicago. This is her shot at a fresh start. She decided to purchase a new house. The house seemed welcoming from the outside. It had a nice arched entrance, with white pillars on either side laced with green vines twirled around them. There was a fountain in the massive backyard and the rooms had staircase built around real tree branches. The balconies were decorated with huge plants as well. Safe to say, Lauren was in love with this house.
