Lizzy's POV:

Nash has been gone a while now and I miss him like crazy. We talk, text, or FaceTime almost everyday, but I still miss him.

"Hey Lizzie!!" I hear my dad yell from downstairs, interrupting my thoughts.

"Yeah!?" I yell back.

"May you please come down here real quick?!" This time it's my moms voice that is yelling.

I get up from my bed and jog down the stairs, into the kitchen.

"Hey honey, come sit down." My moms says, smiling at me. Ok... what's going on.

I slowly walk over to the table and sit down. "We have some news." My dad says.

"What..." I ask. Unsure if I really want to know.

"Well, your father has gotten a new job." My mom tells me.

"That's great." I say smiling, "Is that all you wanted to tell me??" I ask.

"Well, no. There's more to it." My dad says.

"Ok..."

"Honey..." my mom starts saying.

"We are moving." They finish together.

"What??"

"We're moving sweetie." My mom says.

"W-where" I stutter.

My parents look at each other with that look parents always give each other and I brace myself for whatever was coming.

"California."

"Oh..." I whisper and look down at my hands in my lap, "Excuse me... I'm going to go upstairs." I say, barely above a whisper. I can't believe they are moving us all the way across the country. It's still settling in for me, but I bet that once it hits me, it will hit me hard. The first thing I do when I reach my bedroom is call Becca and ask her to come over. Next thing I do is call Nash. He doesn't answer. It's fine, I'll talk to him later, he's probably doing a show right now.

I can't believe this. Oh, wait, now I do. It's hit me. All my friends, my home, my school, Nash, everything in North Carolina. We're just leaving it. All of it.

My bedroom door opens and Becca is standing there. "Hey." She says with a smile on her face. I guess I hadn't noticed the tears on my face before, but now I can feel them and Becca notices too. Her face falls. "Oh no, what happened. What did Nash do??" She says, concern written on her face.

I laugh at her a little bit. "No, Nash didn't do anything."

"Oh, ok. Good." She says, "So what's up??" She asks, sitting down next to me on my bed.

"Well. It's actually my parents..." I say. Preparing my self for Becca's reaction.

"We're moving." I say quickly and hold my breath, waiting for her to react.

"Ok..." She says slowly, "Well, when??" She asks.

"Actually, I'm not sure." I say, realizing I never asked my parents when we would be leaving.

"Ok... where??" She ask. I can tell she doesn't really want to know the answer. I don't really want to tell her either. This is the question I have been dreading.

"California..." I say, barely above a whisper.

"Oh..." she says and looks down at the ground. "How long have you known about this??" She asks me.

"I just found out a few minutes ago." I answer her.

"What about Nash?? Does he know??" She asks.

"I tried calling him right after I talked to you, but he didn't pick up." I say, "This is around the time he usually does the shows, so I didn't really expect him to pick up." I say, we both are still looking down at the ground. Out of the corner of my eye, I see her look up at me. I look up too and I feel more tears coming.

"I'm going to miss you so much Liz." She says and embraces me in a hug.

"I'm gonna miss you too Bec." I say as the tears start to fall down my face.

She has been my best friend since I moved here. That was in Kindergarten. I have no clue what I am going to do without her. My phone starts ringing and I look over at it. Nash's face pops up on the screen and let go of Becca. I look over at her and she motions for me to pick up the phone. I slowly pick up the phone and hit the answer button before bringing it up to my ear.

"Hey babe!!" I hear him say into the phone, "I'm sorry I didn't answer when you called, I was on stage at the time. The shows over now though." Just hearing his voice makes me smile.

"Hey." Is all I say before I feel more tears coming.

He must hear it in my voice because then he sounds really concerned, "What's wrong?? Are you ok?? What happened??" He starts asking all these questions.

"I'm fine- well, no, that's a lie. But anyway, I need to tell you something. I would rather tell you this is person, but I can't really do that, so this is the next best thing." I say and laugh a little bit at the end, trying to lighten the mood. I'm surprised at how steady my voice sounds.

"What's wrong??" He asks again, his voice filled with concern.

"Well, my parents told me that... we're moving... To California." I say.

"Oh." Is all he says. I feel like all three of us have been reacting to this new the same way. "When??"

"I'm not sure. I didn't ask."

"Oh." He says again.

"Yeah..." oh no, tears are falling again.

"No Lizzy, don't cry. Please. I hate it when your upset because then I'm upset." He says, "Look, I know that it's far away, but maybe we can work it out. Long distance??" He says.

"I don't know, maybe. It's just, long distance is really hard." I say, barely above a whisper.

"I know, but maybe we will be able to do it. You don't need to worry about it right now though. I'll be back home soon for the tour and we can figure everything out."

"Ok," I say, calming down a little bit.

"I miss you."

"I miss you too."

"I can't wait to be back home." He says.

"I can't wait till you get home either." I say.

"I've gotta go."

"Ok, I'll talk to you later." I say.

"Bye." He says before I click the end button on my phone. I let out a breath I hadn't known I'd been holding in. How is this really happening.
