I was leaving NewYorkCity my home ,
My life, my world... it was time for me to leave. My mom got a job offer in California...and I leave tonight. I am going to miss my family and friends... I can't leave my memories and happiness In New York but I want to make my mom happy.
"Jazmine get ready we are going to leave in an hour"
"Yes mom" I said with a frown.
"Honey, I know you don't want to leave but I need this job...remember... we need this and the money, I am really sorry"
"Mom I am not sad, I am really happy I know we need this"
"Okay... can you please check on your brother"
"Okay " I said knowing I didn't have too.
My brother was cool about the move he didn't really care, mostly because he was 11. But he learned to listen to me because you know...i am 16. I just saw him playing on his phone ( wtf), I told him to take time and sleep because we where leaving the city at 10:00 but it would always leave at 10:30 or even 11:00 pm.
It was time.... I was leaving all the memories behind but not the good ones. I got in the car and went to the air port. all of our furniture was coming later in the week. I got to the airport...got a cup of coffee for my stressed out mom and a cup of tea for me. I was really scared of the airplanes even airports, it sounds dumb but it isn't, I have heard of a lot of accidents...i couldn't even get on the elevator haha I just sound stupid.
Finally, the deadly ride started... I was on the window seat and my brother in the middle and my mother at the end of the row I was in. I felt safe... God forbid anything happened to the plane...i would die with my family at least (FML). My mother fell Asleep...i was on my iPad writing on Wattpad... and my brother on his damn phone.
I felt bad for my brother ERIK who was going to miss his childhood if he was on the phone all the time... I was the same, I missed a lot.
We got to California 5 hours later.,we moved to Chino hills... really common. We got a condominium 3 story's high... it looked like my mom paid too much money. It had a pool, garden up on the roof. Each room with a balcony and 3 rooms with a living room the size of 2 more rooms, my mouth dropped with amazement. I almost cussed but I couldn't start my day like this so I went to the pool and just put my feet in.
