September 2022 – Y/n apartment in Brooklyn

"Hi Mom, it's y/n"

"Oh hi sweetie, I haven't heard from you in a while. How are you?" her mum answered and she could hear her smile through the phone.

"I'm good. Listen, you told me not to beat around the bush so I have a good and a bad news to share with you. Which you want to hear first?"

It was silent for a few seconds before her mother chose the good news to start with.

"I'm going to work for Marvel for the next three years. I have like a general contract with them, what means I have secured salary for the next three years. No need to look for new projects all the time or being stressed if I can pay my rent or not."

She expected her mother to be happy about the news but the amount of happiness she got through the phone was overwhelming. Her mother screamed a "Oh my god that's amazing!" and yelled at her dad that their daughter got an amazing job and that he should bring the champagne to celebrate!

"You don't want to know the bad news?" y/n giggled.

"Oh I totally forgot about that. Yeah, go on!"

"Working for Marvel means to work from Atlanta. That means I have to move." she sighed because she really loved her apartment in Brooklyn. I was small, it was old, but she loved it for years now. Ever since she arrived back in New York this morning she calculated if she would be able to keep the Brooklyn apartment AND rent another one in Atlanta, but it was impossible. Even with the salary Marvel offered her – which was higher than she expected.

"Well, sweetie. I know you love New York and you love your apartment. Moving to Atlanta doesn't mean you can't go back to New York someday. You'll find an amazing apartment it Atlanta as well. And as far as I know Atlanta is cheaper than New York, so you'll probably have a bigger apartment than you have right now."

She was right. Y/n knew that. She already looked for apartments near the Marvel headquarter and found a three-bedroom apartment with a big kitchen. For the same rent as her one-bedroom apartment in NYC! That was indeed an upgrade. Nevertheless, she was going to miss NYC, it became her home after six years. Even more than LA and Davenport has ever been because she could just be herself in this city. Also she had her friends here. As a socially awkward person, she was already scared of finding potential new friends in Atlanta. What if literally no one in Atlanta liked her?

Her mother realized the a-bit-too-long-silence and asked: "Sweetie, are you still there?"

"Yeah mom, sorry. I was lost in thoughts. I already found an apartment online and I'm going to Atlanta next week to see if that could possibly mine for the next years." 

"That's good news, sweetie. Keep me updated, okay?"

"I'll do. Love you, mom."

"Love you, too, sweetie."

Y/N ended the phone call and was in a brighter mood than before. She opened her laptop to look on the photos of her potential new apartment again. It was cleaner than her current one – nothing that could not be changed with a lot of decoration. She smiled and suddenly became a little excited to see it in person the next week.

October 2022 – Atlanta

After seeing the apartment the first time, y/n knew that she would rent it. So she prepared everything for the move in New York and arrived in Atlanta two days ago. The next tenant of her apartment in Brooklyn wanted to buy almost every furniture she had, so she needed to buy new stuff over here. Michelle offered her help (as she was the only one in Atlanta y/n knew so far) and they both started to furnish the new apartment.
