The Move: A Cameron Dallas fanfiction

beep beep beep.
ughh..
*Mom runs into my room*
"Come on lazy, you can't miss your first day of your new school"

2 MONTHS EARLIER

So I live in Syracuse NY in this small town.. Not the most exciting place but I like it.

School bell rings..
Screams from the crowds of kids blast out.
Okay I get that it's the last day and everything but no need to make anyone deaf.
"Nat!" as I hear a familiar voice call my name. I turn around and see my best friend mel come running toward me.
I reach out and give her a big hug.

We are neighbors so we walk home discussing our summer plans.
"Hey Nat, you should come to the mall with me today! I heard John and Matt are gonna be there, and plus you can sleep over after." John is my so called bf even tho we don't hang out much because of school.. And as for Matt well let's just say he and Mel have had a thing ever since 8th grade, but he's to afraid to ask her out.
"Yea! Sounds fun! Lemme just call my mom" I said hoping my mom will understand it's summer now.
..."hey mom!" I said trying to be as sweet as possible. "Uh hey honey.." My mom says, sounding like she was just crying. "I was wondering if I could go to the mall with Mel and then sleep over after.. And are you okay ma?" I asked with a confused expression. Mel looked at me but then continued to text Matt.
"Uh yea I'm fine don't worry, you can go to the mall but can you come home after I need to talk to you about something serious." madree (mother in Spanish) said. "Uh okay bye love you" I said nervously. "Love you too baby girl." As she hung up the phone.

At the mall all I could think about was what the fuck did my mom need to tell me.. Thoughts were running though my head..
Are my parents splitting up? Did my mom get fired? Did someone die? "Hey babe" as John interrupted my thoughts. "Hey hun" as I gave him a kiss on the cheek. Mel and Matt went to go get some food at the food court. John grabbed my hand and started talking about how his soccer team won his last game. I tried to focus on him but I couldn't stop think of what my mom said. "Babe you okay?" John asked with a confused expression on his face. "Yea I'm alright, it's just my mom.." As I went on about how my mom crying on the phone and she needing to tell me something important. "It's okay don't worry about it, if it was something really important she would need you home right away." John tries to calm me down. "Your right" I squeeze him tight as I hug him.

We meet up the Mel and Matt as I see Mel run up to me really excited. "Nat! Guess what! Matt finally asked me outt!" you could see the excitement on her face from a mile away. "Aww I'm so excited for you" laughing a little watching her jump up and down. John asks where Matt went and Mel says he had to go home..
I get a text from my mom asking when I will be home. "Mel I think we should go, I really need to talk to my mom!" I say hoping she will want to go too. "Okayy yea I want to go home too" says Mel
John walks us to the exit and give me a kiss. "Bye text me" he says with a wink. I smile then head for the car. As mel drops me off she says "lemme know what happens." I smile give her a hug and run into my house and call my mothers name. "Mom?" I say nervously. "Hi honey" she says as she walks into the room, her eyes were all puffy and I could tell something was not right. "Mom.. What's going on."
She sits down and motions me to do the same. My dad wasn't home, this made my stomach fill with knots. I sat down quickly.
"I need to tell you something and your gonna hate me for this." My mom says worried.. Before my mom can say anything I burst out "DONT GET DIVORCED YOU GUYS LOVE EACH OTHER AND YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS HAPPY AROUND ME PLEASE PEASEEE!" ..
"Nat, we are not getting divorced where did you hear such a thing?" My mom said looking at me like I was crazy. "Then what do you want to tell me?" I asked confused? "My job offered me a new spot, I would get paid so much more and would have nicer working conditions" my mom said. I was super confused "what's so bad about that" I chuckled a little "it means we have to move to LA though" my moms face got bright red and she's looked at me with a sorry look.
My mouth dropped... and I was... speechless...I didnt know how to respond so I ran up to my room.

That night I lay in my bed thinking about how much I would miss John & Matt but especially Mel. How could this be happening? Was I dreaming or something? I pinched my self to clarify that I wasn't.

It was early morning and I felt sick to my stomach from all the crying last night. My mom came into my room and talked about how important the job is to her and that we could come and visit all the time. I could tell my mom felt really sorry so I decided to stop crying and come down stairs. My dad was eating some cereal and my brother Andrew was still asleep. He's older than me by 3 years. He's 19. "Does Andrew know about the move?" I sighed "Yes of course." My dad reassured me.
When Andrew woke up we had this family meeting type thing. "Guys I know you are sad about leaving you friends but we will come visit all the time since grandma lives here" my mom said as she was pulling up pictures of the fancy apartment with the view of the LA. "We are gonna live right in the heart of the city! Exciting right!?" My dad exclaimed. I rolled my eyes
"when are we leaving" I said trying to hold back my tears. "In two weeks." My parents said in sync. I couldn't help but cry so I ran up to my room and Andrew followed me. "Nat it's not all bad at least we have a nicer house and LA is such a cool city. Plus since mom works for magazines we might actually meet some cool stars" Andrew said with a smile. I smiled back "Your right" wiping away my tears. He left my room and I got dressed and called Mel and told her to meet at our secret spot in our neighborhood.

As I waited in our spot for her I was thinking on ways to tell her but came up with nothing.
"Hey what's up Nat!" Mel came walking though the woods. "Hey" as I grabbed her and hugged her so tightly and didn't let go. "What's going on, what did your mom say?" Mel said confused.
I started to tear and told her everything. We both cried and stayed on our rock for a while. When is started to get dark we walked home. Then next day I told John. I've never seen him cry before but he did that day... :(

LAST DAY BEFORE LA

Moving truck came early that morning. So Mel, John, Matt and me went to the lake to say our good byes.
"Oh god guys I'm gonna miss you and this place so much" I said trying to promise my self not to cry. "You better text me more." Matt said trying to be nice even tho we were never really close.
I smiled and said "of course Matt" and giggled. We talked about how my life was gonna be without them.
Yes i know that's sad but I managed to hold back the tears.
*beep* checked my phone and my mom told me to say good bye and head back to the house.
I started to cry.. I pulled Mel over to the side "You never forget me okay." I laughed a little even tho I was crying at the same time
"I'll try not too haha" Mel said and we hugged for what felt like an hour. Then I let go and jumped into Johns arms and told him to bring us over in private. He sat on a log and motion me to sit in his lap. We were both tearing. " I love you so much" he said crying . "I love you too." Saying it back but could barley say it cause my sobs got in the way. "I don't want you to be like this okay" kissing him on the cheek. "See other people and don't let me hold you back" i said trying not to regret saying it. "I won't, I'm sorry but I can't move on." John said holding me tight.
*beep* my mom texted me again and I knew this was it. I got up and so did John. I grabbed his face with my hands and kissed him for the last time. We walked back to Mel and Matt. I gave Matt a hug. Then John gave me a piggyback ride back to my house we all gave hugs and kisses as I climbed into my car.

The car ride was the worst. Emotional, long, hot.. Eeew.
"So Andrew and nat, me and your dad work bout 15 min away from the apartment, but the bad thing is our work hours are long so we won't be home much but we will still have Sundays, mornings and nights." My dad said
"Wow amazing" I said annoyed. "Sweet.. Um I mean darn" said Andrew.
We got there late on Thursday night but LA was still so busy. I gotta admit, it was beautiful. "Welcome to your new life." Said my mom. And my thoughts of amazement turned into annoyance. I rolled my eyes at my mom and grabbed my sleeping bag and fell asleep on my bed room floor right next to my window that showed the city view.
