"Orange County!?" I said while throwing my fork and knife down upon the kitchen table. "Wtf is Orange County?" Asked my 13 year old brother Mick. "Its in California sweetie." My mom says trying to calm everyone down. "You've got to be kidding me! Mom do you realize I'm captain of the cheer team, homecoming queen and hopefully the quarterbacks girlfriend" I said starting to get off track "See all those things will be gone if we move!"
"Honey... I'm sorry we have no other choice, your father wants to be closer to you guys and frankly I want to be closer to him also."
"Can I stay with grandma?"
"No Brandy"
"Can I stay with Harper?"
"Brandy please."
"I cant deal with this anymore." I said jumping up from the table and walking to my bedroom. I opened my laptop and started to chat with my two best friends Harper and Jack.

After many long messages about all the things I would be missing by moving I finally managed to inch myself to my bed hoping I would wake up and this would all be one horrible nightmare.
I walked downstairs to the smell of bacon and waffles, the only time my mom makes breakfast is when she needs to tell us something or is making us clean. "OK so after breakfast you and Mick need to start packing your rooms into boxes."
"Whats I thought we had another week!!"
"Well the buyers want the house as soon as possible and they are willing to pay extra to have it in two days."
This whole year has been to much to handle. One second we are one big happy family living under the same roof, then everything changed, my dad moved out for reasons I have yet to find out, my boyfriend Alex whom I had been dating for five years broke up with me and now this! I carried my plate up to my room without saying a word to my mom. Maybe I was being a little to harsh on her I mean her husband did leave her and she just wants to find out whats going on, but does that really mean we have to move all the way across the country to find out.
As I opened my bedroom door there was 6 empty boxes. "Guess its not a nightmare." I started packing up all the little things on my dresser and on my nightstand, as I started wrapping it all up it hit me, i'm leaving, this will be the last time I will ever be in this house. Ever since my mom told me about the move all I could think about was leaving my friends and my school but I never really thought about all the little things like the tree in my back yard where Alex and I had are first kiss, and the ice cream shop right across from the community pool where I played water polo throughout all of middle school all those little things are the memory's I am going to miss the most.
After packing up most of my room I decided to hang out with my friends for the last time. I called Jack and asked him to meet me at the park across from my neighborhood. Jack was the only friend I had that could drive well except for Alex but we still aren't really on a friendship level yet. "Yo California girl." Jack said pulling up with his old worn down black jeep. "Don't kill me." He said while I opened the door to the back of his car. There I saw Alex. Sitting right there. "What the hell are you doing here!" I asked closing the car door.
"We need to talk B"
"There is nothing to talk about."
"Obviously there is! And your moving tomorrow so we have no other time to"
"Sorry Brandy he insisted on coming with." Jack said with a grin. Oh how I hated Virginia boys. I got into the car and looked the opposite way of Alex. With just one look at him I knew I was still in love with him. "Brandy i'm sorry, I never meant to cheat on you, I was a jerk, you still have every right to hate me but I just wanted to know I still love you." He opened the car door and walked out. I turned my head around and ran after him. "Alex wait. Truthfully i'm not over you either." I said with a grin. "Really??" He said excitedly like there was still a chance we could get back together.
"Yes really.. But I cant. I cant love you anymore because it will hurt me to much to leave you. And Alex I cant feel that way again because when you left me It broke me to pieces."
"I understand, and i'm sorry for everything I did, If I could take all my mistakes back I would. Brandy I love you." He kissed me on the cheek and walked away. That was it. That was the last time I would most likely see him again. I started to tear up as I watched him walk away from me. I turned around and Jack waved me to get back into the car. I opened the door and he gave me a big hug. "Brandy i'm sorry it will all be okay." Jack was a friend that most people will never find in there lifetime, he is the only guy friend I have that hasn't once wanted to hook up with me he has been there through it all and has never made one gesture of it. "Where we headed?" I asked wiping the tears from my face. "Ryan is having people over." Ryan the quarterback eekk. We pulled into his gated in mansion where sat dozens of expensive cars. "Hey Brandy!" Ryan said while giving me a hug. His biceps were literally strangling me. "Everyone is downstairs in the cinema." He said pointing. All three of us walked down the stairs to his huge ass movie room that had two popcorn machines three soda machines and lots of candy. Suddenly Ryan picked me up and threw me on the couch. "Haha Ryan that scared me!" I said laughing. He inched closer to me and grabbed the remote. "Okay Yo which movie ya'll wanna watch?" Everyone listed out a bunch of titles and we decided on watching Divergent. Ryan got closer and closer to me and we were basically on top of each other not in weird way though. As the movie progressed on Ryan and I stopped watching and started making out.
"I'm having this huge party at my dads lake house on Friday you should so come!"
"Yes, totally i'll be there!" I said smiling, and then the smiling stopped.
"Oh wait." I cant believe I had forgotten.
"Um well I cant actually"
"Why...?"
"I'm moving. To California."
"For real?"
I was kind of embarrassed he probably thinks i'm a big loser for forgetting i'm moving the next day.
"Ah well shawty that sucks." He got up slowly from the couch and walked towards Amber the new girl from Minnesota. There I was alone sitting on the couch like such a loser.
