One Helluva Time

Chapter 1- Moving Day

~~Third Person POV~~

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

Elliot: "Oh goddamn it!"

Elliot begrudgingly awoke and turned his alarm clock off. It was 05:00 and time for him to wake up, no matter how much he hates it. Today was the big day, he and his family were moving. Although he loved his little Midwest town, his Dad got a new job opportunity. Even if Elliot wasn't that excited, he was definitely interested, they were moving to a city called "Little Falls" in New York.

Elliot: Well, lets get a move on.

Elliot walked out of his bedroom and into the bathroom, making sure we looked at least decent. He  began to study his reflection. The main thing that never fails to catch his eye is the scar from just under his nose to the bottom of his chin.

Elliot: Still don't remember how I got that. Wait why did I think that, sounds like a very forced way to add detail to a character in some shitty fan fiction.

He ran his fingers through his short black hair to make sure he didn't have any gray hairs, that was a joke... kinda.

???: *Knock knock* "Hey buddy, you almost done? Gotta get goin soon."

Elliot: "Ima comin, Ima comin!"

???: "Breakfast is ready, the trucks will be here soon."

Elliot: "Ok, thanks Dad!"

As Elliot went downstairs he saw his twin sister Hanna (14 years old) on the couch playing on her phone. She looked like Elliot in a couple ways- she had long black hair but she added some red (Elliot thought it was awful but whatever) streaks in there. Hanna had their Mom's hazel eyes while Elliot had their Dad's blue eyes. Elliot stood at a good 5 foot 11 inches, and Hanna was just about 5 foot 6. They are both 14 years old, but their personalities are pretty different. While Hanna is decently social and is accepted as the "popular girl" in almost every situation, Elliot has never really been that good with people. He has tried very hard, but it isn't very often where he can make some good friends and keep them around. But they still had some good fun with each other (no not like that, this ain't Alabama).

Hanna: "Hey asshole!"

Elliot: "Huh?"

Hanna: *Throws up middle finger*

Elliot: "Yeah, love ya too."

Elliot walks into the dining room to see his Mom and brother Ezra (8 years old) eating breakfast, it wasn't anything big just some pancakes from McDonald's. Ezra actually had most of his looks from their grandparents, which came as a bit of a surprise. He has blonde hair, brown eyes, and stood at about 4 feet. His Mom has dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes (as mentioned earlier), and stood at about 5 foot 11 inches like Elliot. She was a pretty well renowned surgeon, not too crazy but pretty well known.

Mom: "Mornin' sweetie."

Elliot: "Mornin"

As Elliot eats he begins to daydream about what his new life will be like. Summer vacation just started, and he'll be a freshman next year. Elliot knew he'd miss his friends a lot, but he was also pretty excited to make new friends and have new experiences. He heard a small whine and saw the family dog, an Australian Shepard named Cooper.

Elliot: "You know boy, I love you, but go on. No begging." *shooing motion*

Cooper looked a little disappointed and hesitantly started to walk away, then Elliot heard his Dad come downstairs.

Dad: "Hey guys, you almost ready to go?"

Elliot's Dad is a pretty interesting guy. He's pretty barrel chested, and walks with a lot of confidence. The confidence wasn't misplaced however, as he was a very nice, smart man once you got to know him. Many people were put off by his stoic personality, steely blue eyes that seem to see into your soul, and short black hair. He was the CEO of [Redacted] and that means he had to be very serious most of the time. Once everyone had agreed that they were ready to leave, they threw away their trash and finished a couple things up.

Dad: "Alright, grab your stuff and let's get goin!"

As they put the boxes in the truck, Elliot really had no clue what was going to unfold.

~~~~To Be Continued~~~~

Hey, author here! I'm tryin my best with this, because as I said earlier this is my first fan fiction. In this chapter I mainly wanted to get characters set up and all that. I'm sorry if it seemed rushed or something, I wanted to get as much stuff down as I could before I forgot. Before you ask, yes "[Redacted]" will be explained and stuff. As of now that is all, good night and be safe everyone!
