"Mom do we have to move houses right now?" I asked. Even though I already knew the answer, I still had hope. "Charlie I told you, we already talked this though remember? Look I know its bad ,but I have a feeling that this town will be different I have a feeling this will be the last time we are moving." She replied. "This will be the last time we are moving" I can't even remember how many times she told me that before. I lost count. I used to believe that once but after the 4th time she said it I knew she was lying. But I never seemed to care about moving cities. I mean a person like me didn't really have anything to lose or anything to leave behind. But now I do. I will be leaving something behind. I will be leaving my dad. I dont mean the actual person dad. I mean my dad's grave. I won't be able to visit it anymore like I used to do. We will be too far away. My mom thinks leaving things behind is for the best. I don't. She really believes in fresh starts, she hasn't lost her hopes yet. Even after everything we have been through she still believes. I only have two questions. How? How and why? Why can't I be like her? Why am I like that? That's when I decided that I will actually try this time. I will find friends, I will enjoy my youth for once. Well until we have to move again. I just want to live my life like the kids in the movies. Do "teen stuff". I have a feeling. A strong feeling. Something will go well on my life for once. " We are leaving in two days, you better be packed by then" my mom said shaking me up from my thoughts. " I will mom. I cant wait to see my new hometown" I replied. "Since when?" my mom asked with a surprised look in her face. "I don't know I just decided to look at the bright side for once" "I am glad you did Charlie, really I am. I am happy you take this whole thing well, even if it took you long I really am happy. You will see our new house is gonna be perfect so will your life there" she said, her face happy and not stressed for once. I was grateful she was happy. But now I know , I know this smile won't last long. What is about to happen will change both of our lives. And not for the best.
