It's been three days since dad has said we are moving back to Los Angeles , Santa Monica. The place i was hoping i could grow up but dads job had us move to new Zealand, which meant leaving shorty just a few weeks after it happened, it affected me as well it was my mum training her mum and them stupid people came and messed everything up. My dad couldn't cope even though shorty's dad Lucas helped my dad it was hard for both of them, shorty's mum was gone instantly but mine was in a coma for three days before she passed. Everything was too much all of us we were the talk of the town and my dad being the sheriff, made everything worse.
At the moment we are just packing everything up getting ready for tomorrow we set off on are two day car plus ferry drive down to LA, all my stuff is already in the removal van and know its just dads and the sofas down stairs that needs to be moved and that's it i'm going home.
****
Getting on the ferry with one removal van my truck and dads car full of are things. We are about a quarter the way to Los Angeles, and i cant wait to get back after like twelve thirteen years of not seeing my shorty that one if she is even still there and two if she recognizes me. I'm going to be going to the local high school for my last year and hopeful it will go out with a bang, i'm hoping to go to the college my dad went to to become part of the police department. I really wanna follow in his foot steps to be as great of a man as he is and maybe even with shorty by my side along the way. Even though me and shorty were only friends for a year and a few months we were really close and i think that was cause i'm dad and her dad went to the same high school together and then she moved to Santa Monica beach one summer and came to the same primary school as me, i was never really one to make friend i liked being alone but there was something about shorty that made me want to be friends with her. After a couple of months of playing with each other at school she went to my house and that went are dads figured out they knew each other, i lived a few road away from shorty but that didn't stop me going to her house and her coming over to mine. Soon enough my mum and Stacy her mum became friends and my mum started training Stacy at the local pharmacy, everything was amazing me, my dad, Lucas and shorty had built a little tree house in the little forest area behind shorty's house.
We had just finished with building when it happened. The pharmacy got robbed of all the drugs one night and it was just my mum and Stacy just about to lock up went to guys came in with guns and masks on. They shot my mum but not bad enough to kill her straight away but Stacy got shot straight in the chest and was instantly killed, they later found out after that Stacy was pregnant with shorty's little sister but never told anyone it stayed between my dad and Lucas, till my dad let it slip to me about everything that happened, my mum died three days later. My dad and Lucas set up a little joint funeral for both my mum and Stacy and are both buried next to each other on the church grounds just a mile away from my old house.

Finley on land we set off to LA only about ten hours to go before we hit the outside of Santa Monica, following dad and the removal truck the butterflies filled my stomach, that sounds girly but i have loved shorty since the first time i saw her she means everything to me every since i left her i have been thinking about her she has been on my mind every day he past thirteen years, that day i was leaving i kissed her even though i was a baby really i have never forgotten the way her lips felt on mine. I looked down to see the locket hanging from my neck opening it up to see a picture of my mum and a picture of shorty and me she giving a me a kiss on my cheek making it look squidgy. Smiling to myself i look up to see the sign for Los Angeles coming up
''Woo three and half miles, Santa Monica here i come'' i shouted even no one could hear me but who cares.
..............
Pulling on to the street where our house it looks familiar, looking to left to that dirt track with the sign still in the bush that looks like its just been repainted, 'shorty and moo's place' stood out on the light blue back ground. Putting my eyes on the road to see dad pull up at the house besides shorty's house that's if shes still there. Looking at where dad got out i quickly parked up and jumped out.
''Is this ours'' i asked pointing to house in front of us
''No i just thought id pull in to some random house mason, yes its ours'' i looked at dad then looked over to the house next door, nothing much has changed with it the hanging baskets just at the front of the front door. Dad followed my eyes to next door and started walking to the house. Running after him he just placed one knock on the door before it came swinging open to reveal a man about dads age stood there.
''Well James i'm glad you got here safe, and mason you have grown'' the man said.
''Who are you'' i asked cocking an eyebrow
''Lola's dad Lucas'' the man said then it all finally clicked. Shorty's still hear, i live next door, her dad has changed a lot. Lucas stood there and held his arms out like he use to as i copped his movement and ran and jumped on him. Me and Lucas have a father and son relationship just like shorty had a father and daughter relationship with my dad.
''Where is shorty'' i asked pulling out of the hug
''She at school but she doesn't know you're coming or living next door, so when she comes home and we are gonna come over to 'welcome you to the neighborhood' act like we haven't seen each other yet okay'' Lucas said in one breath. I gave a nod to him.
''Well we need to start moving everything in'' my dad said pointing to the removal truck and then my truck
''Do you want me to help'' Lucas asked as my gave a nod. Soon enough we are moving everything into our new house.
