The Start of Something New ~#1~ (N.G./C.D.)

Chapter 1

Well this is it. Today is the day. I can already feel the tears waiting to be released. It's the second week of summer and next year I am going to be a junior in high school. Pete nickers beside me and I rub his nose. I cannot imagine leaving him. Pete has been my horse since I was five and he has been with me throughout all the heartbreaks. The breeze blows his mane a bit and I can't help but smile. How could I ever leave this beautiful place? My dad walks over to me in Pete's paddock. His eyes are full of sorrow and makes me want to let go and just cry.

"It's okay kiddo please don't cry" my dad soothes as he gives me a comforting hug.

I gently back away and reply, "Dad I don't want to leave you or Pete"

My dad looks at his worn out cowboy boots and frowns. " I don't want you to either but your mother won custody."

My parents used to be the nicest and caring couple out there. Then there were problems on the ranch and we couldn't pay for it all. My father is an english trainer and mother is a preschool teacher so we aren't exactly rich. They could not agree with anything and yelled all the time. I would run out to Pete and cry into him until I heard it stop. Sophomore year they divorced. My parents had an agreement on who got me which days and that was that. About two months ago was when my mom decided I spent more time with my dad and she deserved to have me. They went to court and the judge chose her. I don't see why, I mean, my dad is great I guess it could be the money. Anyways, my mom decided that we were to move to California because most of her family lives in Los Angeles.

I turned to my dad and said," Please don't let me move away from you, I love you."

That's when a single tear ran down his face and he looked at me. "I love you more"

I looked away and tried to swallow back the tears. Not here, not now. It would just make everything worse if I broke down with everything set to go.

My mom walked in and softly said,"Come on Rosalie. We have to leave now if you want to say goodbye to your friends."

That's right, my friends. I have even more that I'm leaving behind. I nodded and hugged my dad really tight and he kissed the top of my head. I then turned to Pete and hugged him as well and kissed his little chestnut nose. I started walking away and glanced back as my mother quickly hugged my father. She swiftly turned away and walked to the car. I got into the passenger's side and watched as the farm got smaller in the distance.

When I got to the airport, all my closest friends were there; including my current boyfriend. I ran into his arms and he kissed my head.

He softly whispered in my ear,"What does this mean for us Rosie?"

I, like my father, looked down at my vans."I guess this is it Luke."

He half smiled and said," I will never forget you."

"Neither will I." I kissed him and turned to my other friends.

Alex and Lily. They have been my best friends since second grade. We even lived in the same neighborhood and were so close, we just walked in each others houses without warning. We talked about anything and everything. I looked at them and they ran into me. We group hugged for a few minutes until finally Alex spoke up.

"Call me whenever I don't care if we are in different time zones"

"Yeah me too. Update me with everything and tell me all about every single day." Lily chimed in.

I couldn't help but laugh. They were literally the greatest friends ever. Alex loves her sleep and wants to stab anyone who interrupts it. Lily is probably the busiest person on the planet, her being on the student council and plays softball, soccer, and basketball. So, any free time is for Netflix.

" I love you guys so much." I said, smiling through my watering eyes.

*Flight 32 now boarding, flight 32*

"That's us Rosalie." I looked up to see my mom with her hand on my shoulder. I grabbed my carry on and started walking towards the gate. I glanced back at Luke, Alex, and Lily and thought, how will I ever find friends like them?
