its moving day. not long now. i never thought this day would come, 9 years ago, i was jumping around the hallway in elm tree house, wanting to go home. now i want to stay at home, my real home.

i knock on tylers open door, where he's putting things in boxes. "hey" i whisper quietly. "talking to me then?" he mutters bluntly, looking rather unamused. i sit on his bed, laughing silently in disbelief. "your actually kidding me right? ty, we move out today! do you even care?" i stare at him, unable to piece together why on earth he's in this mood. after yesterday i feel as if i dont even know him anymore.

"please, more then you'd ever know" he then walks out and i hear him run downstairs, leaving me sitting there in his empty room, bar boxes, bags and furniture. whats the need for all this? i know he loves me, he reminds me enough times a day, and vice versa but the strop? i assume he'd just be upset that we're leaving, being that this has been his home since he was 8, it was all he really knew. i know deep down he cares, he just wont say whats bothering him so much that its put our relationship, and friendship for that matter, on hold.

"just seen tyler downstairs" i hear a voice, breaking my thought track. "he looked pretty upset, you two still not made up?" may-li comes into the room, pushing aside the washing on the floor. "he said i was overreacting about leaving, acting like he doesn't care. what if hes right? what if i need to look at his side more?" may-li sits on the bed and gives me an understanding look. "well, i've known you and tyler longer then anyone here, and from that i know he cares just as much. if you both thought everything the same do you really think you would be best friends?" i shrug, looking aimlessly into space. "jody, look, how many years have you known tyler now?" i tell her bluntly 9, picking my nail.                                                                     

"9 years you've known each other. that's 9 years of being best friends, let alone now moving out together and having a baby in 5 months at the stupidly young age of 18!" she laughs and gets up. "you'll do the right thing jody. you always do" she walks out the room, picking up the laundry and leaves me alone with my thoughts after also letting me know we leave at 11. 4 hours. we leave the system in 4 hours. i know shes right, i just dont know what to do about it.

i arrive downstairs about an hour and a half later, after packing up my last bits, and shedding a few tears for that matter. "you okay now?" may-li asks me quietly. i nod, meaning it. well, as much as i can. "we're gonna miss you!" i hear someone shriek. i spin round to see tyler being shoved into the corner, half the house on top of him. i grin. this has been my home for as long as i can remember and it always will be but moving out can be a good thing, if i want it to be. and i do. more then anything.

"we are going to miss you all so much! but we aren't going far, just up the road so you can come visit us whenever!" i say enthusiasm in my voice, while looking up and down the table, glancing at jody. "and the baby?" taz shouts and everyone laughs. i see mike crying, i smile at him, telling him we'll be fine. although deep down i know he's sure of it anyway. he knows kids better then anyone after all. "yes and the baby" i tell taz shaking my head and chuckling, getting up out of my seat to put my bowl in the sink. "i'm gonna go pack up the last of my stuff" i tell may-li and walk out the room, off to my bedroom. i walk through the door, immediately noticing something wrong. yeah, the beds stripped as well as the walls, but i can tell somethings not right. i see one of the boxes open. i know that was shut when i left after talking to jody. to most people they'd think whoever was left in the room wouldv'e done it? logical. only i know my own my girlfriend, more importantly, my best friend.

i then see jay walk past, he hadnt been at breakfast too long either. i frown at him as he stands in my doorway. "do you know who did this? went through my stuff?"

"no idea mate" he shrugs and carries on. "moving day with your girlfriend?" please. hes been like this ever since we mentioned it, not that he's not always, but still. "grow up. her names jody and yeah, so what?" i never usually speak like this, its someone rooting through my things thats annoyed me. jay shrugs again and walks off. if he has something to do with this, it wont end well.

i decide to text jody, even though we're not getting on, i know i can trust her. "yeah? whats so urgent?" i hear her voice coming down the hallway after no more then a couple of seconds of the text sending. i point at the open box which i haven't touched since finding it. "someones gone through my stuff" i tell her vaguely.

"what, you think i did it?!" the amount of times i could count that something like this sort of thing has happened, we would be here all day. "no, course not! it was radio stuff anyway, and you dont need any of that, so whoever did it must've just picked a random box" i explain. "oh, right" she mutters. "well, what was in there?" she asks, sitting on my empty bed. "uh, paperwork and music orders, a couple wires, a microphone" i glance in and see a post-it laying on the top of my dictator. i reach in and grab it. "stay or you'll be sorry" it reads. i pass it to jody who quickly looks at me and bites her lip. "so, its someone who doesn't want you to go?" i shrug before taking it off her. "doubt it. probably just messing about. anyway, we know by now if we go in peoples rooms their just going to get annoyed. so, if we rule out everyone it can't be, we watch everyone else, yeah?" i conclude, not particularly wanting to cause drama on our last day, nor involve the three adults. "okay, yeah i like that" jody slowly comes to terms with the plan, agreeing with me.
