Good Girl Gone Bad(Matthew Espinosa)

Bad News

        "Daeya honey? Can you come down here for a minute?" my mother shouted from the kitchen.           "Yeah Be there in a sec!" I shouted back while trying to finish my eyeliner.

I jogged down the stairs to see my Mom, Dylan, and Chrissa sitting at the table. "Sit down hun."

"Mom whats going on?" Chrissa asked with confusion lurking in her voice. My mom just took a deep breath and said...

"Were moving." she said whispering.

"WHAT?!" me and my siblings screamed in sync. My mom just said to stay calm. I couldnt even deal with what was going on. I need to get out of here for at least an hour. I ran as quickly as possible to my bedroom and grabbed my skateboard. I bolted out of the house and rode all the way to Shawn's place.

I climbed up the tree that leads to his window and knocked on it franticly. He opened the window and I climbed inside. He was only in sweatpants, leaving himself shirtless.

"Whats wrong? Are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.

And thats when I broke down. Right in his arms.

"I-I-Im-" I couldnt even finish my sentence because I was crying so hard.

"Shhhh it okay tell me what happened." he said while we sat on the floor holding eachother.

"Shawn im moving.." I could barley even got that out. But the look on his face was so heart breaking. I couldnt even look him in the eyes. Thats how guilty I feel.

"Y-your moving? Where?" he asked with tears in his eyes.

"I don't know, but the look on my Moms face kind of gave me the idea that its going to be far.." I finally got the courage to look at him. His eyes were glossy, and they no longer had there spark. His brown eyes were full of sadness and heart break.

"I cant believe this is happening..." Shawn looked almost as broken as I felt right now.

"Dont worry, we can make it through this Daeya. I know we can. Face time me everyday your there okay? Im going to miss you so fucking much." he said pulling me into another hug.

It felt like we sat there for years holding eachother, and sobbing quietly into eachothers shoulders. But it was only two hours.

"I should probably get home. Its already dark and im pretty sure my mom is freaking out. And I have no idea how Chrissa or Dylan are doing right now." I said getting up, I looked in the mirror. I looked like litteral death right now. Bags under my eyes, my mascara and eyeliner was smudged in every direction.

"Okay. Text me when you get there so I know your safe." he said while giving me another quick, but meaning-ful hug.

"Bye Shawn." I exited the window and climbed down the tree and rode my skateboard home.

*15 minutes of skating later*

I walked through the door to find my mother yelling "Where have you been young lady?!"

"Shawn's" I said quietly and sprinted up the stairs and into Chrissa's room.

I found her lying on her bed asleep. Her cheeks were stained with tears and her eyes were red and puffy. I decided to leave her be.

I went across the hall and knocked on Dylans door.

"GO AWAY MOM!" he shouted with his voice cracking in between his words.

"Its Daeya," I said into the door "Can I come in?"

He opened the door without saying anything, he just pulled me in his room and hugged me while sobbing in my shoulder.

"Why do we have to even move? I cant just leave Emma." he said pulling away from our hug.

"I dont know Dylan. But if you really love eachother, you guys can work it out." I said trying to comfort him.

"You dont get it. Were moving to Virginia." he said in between his sobbing fit.

I froze.

I live in Canada.

And Were going to Virginia.

Thats in America.

What. The Fucking. Hell.

Mom cant do this. She cant move us out of the freaking country.

"But she can." Dylan said 

Did I just say that out loud? I thought.

"Yes. Yes you did." Dylan said chuckling.

"I said that out loud too?" I asked him

"Yup."

"Oh." I said while we both started laughing. I said goodnight to him and went back to my room. I walked to my bathroom and looked in my mirror. I was a mess. I hopped in the shower and let the steaming hot water wash away all of my stress.

After about 30 minutes I got out and dried myself off. I blow dried my hair and put in a messy bun and put on my Pierce The Veil shirt and some spandex shorts. I plugged in my phone and texted Shawn goodnight and turned out my lights and slowly drifted off to sleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up with a massive head ache. I groaned and sat up while I rubbed the sleep away from my eyes.

I slowly got up and fixed my hair a bit and went downstairs and saw that Chrissa was already up.

"How did you sleep?" I asked her while grabbing the cereal from the cupboard.

"Fine I guess." she said quietly. I sighed. "Chrissa, I know this is hard for you. But we can pull through. Your very strong okay?" 

"Okay. Thanks D." D was my nickname she always called me when she was in a good mood.

"Welcome C." I laughed while I hugged her.

I made Her and I some cereal and we ate on the couch in silence while watching spongebob. Childish I know, but I cant help but watch it. 

Dylan soon joined us but didnt have breakfast. "Dylan arent you hungry?"

"Nah Im good." he said dazed into the T.V. I laughed quietly at him while he stared in awe at the show.

My mom came down seconds later "Morning kids." she said with her morning voice.

None of us answered her. She is getting nothing but the cold shoulder from me.

She sighed "Kids this move is gonna be great for us! I found a job that will give us triple of what we get now! That means we can get a huge house!" she exclaimed

"Really?" Chrissa said with excitement in her voice. Chrissa always has had a small room, and she has been dying for a bigger one.

"Yup. Four bedrooms, and they are all master bedrooms! That means you will all get your own bathroom and a bigger room!" she said with hope in our voice.

"I guess im excited, but what about Emma?" Dylan said with sadness overcoming his face

"Dont worry hun, you will be able to visit whenever you feel like it." she said with a reasurring tone.

"What about Shawn?" I choked out.

"Unfortunatly, you cant visit him as much as Dylan can... Only because your a minor and you cant go out of the country without an adult. But you will get to see him every so often." she said looking down.

"Fine." I said looking anywhere except my mom.

"Well you kids better get packing. We leave in two days." she said getting up.

"Why so soon?" I asked 

"Because thats when the only flight is available right now." 

"Okay.... Im gonna get packing." I said marching up the stairs.
