If Loving You Is Bad

London.

I looked at them surprised with what they were telling me. At first I thought they were joking and then I saw the seriousness on their face. They weren't joking?.. How could they do this to me?.. They knew I had so many friends in the area we lived in right now so why are they doing this?..

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

I've lived in California my whole life. I go to Lakeview High school. Lakeview is where i met most of my friends. California has always been my happy place and I've never thought of leaving my happy place. Until now..

      "Mom, why do we have to leave California?. You know I have so many friends here." i said tearing up as i looked at her in confusion. I know that I may sound quite sensitive right now but if you've lived somewhere your whole life and was being forced to leave, you'd feel the same way. It felt as if my whole world was being torn apart at this very second.

My mom looked at me confused when a tear streamed down my face. "Honey, we have to leave. Your dad got a new job and he needs to move to London and I agreed to go with him."

I looked at her and ran to my room crying.

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

I was putting my last shirt into my suitcase feeling really guilty for having to leave my friends. I didn't even have enough time to go to their house and tell them all bye. Right now I just wanted to curl into a ball into my bed and take a nap. I didn't even want to wake up after the nap.

"Honey, get your stuff and put it in the car. We can't be late to our flight Luna!" I heard mom yell. I hissed and picked up my suitcase feeling like I was gonna cry again. I went downstairs to the front door and opened it. I stared out the door not wanting to walk out of my house. Any other time I'd walk right out but now.. I just didn't wanna leave. I didn't wanna leave all the memories behind. I didn't wanna leave my friends. And most importantly, I didn't want to leave my boyfriend.

Me and Aaron have been together for almost 8 months. Now that I was moving all the way to London, I wouldn't be able to see him that much.. actually on second thought I wouldn't be  able to see him.. ever again.

I started to cry again just at the thought of leaving Aaron. I ran out to the car and opened the backseat and put my suitcase inside. I got into the car and waited for my dad and mom to drive us to the airport.

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

We got to Mammoth Yosemite Airport and i got out of the car without talking to my mom or my dad. I went straight to the entrance feeling annoyed and hurt. My parents signed us in and we sat in the waiting room until we got called for out flight.

"FLIGHT 1A PLEASE GET ONTO YOUR FLIGHT"

We hurried on the plane. I sat down on the seat we were assigned next to my mom and I waited for the plane to land.

On the way to London i put my headphones in and listened to music. I listened to a song called "Dead to Me" by Melanie Martinez. My mom tried to talk to me but i acted as if i couldn't hear her and kept listening to music the whole way there.

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

We finally made it to London and i sighed when we got off the plane. London was a very beautiful place. I already knew that I wasn't going to fit in here. Everybody was dressed in very very rich looking clothes. I even saw someone with a Gucci belt on. Everyone had accents and i couldn't understand what some of the people were even saying. It was very different than California.
