The One Of A Kind Tomboy [Completed]

Chapter 1

River's P.O.V.

"Mom! Do we really have to leave?" I whined.

"Yes! Now get your ass up to your room and get ready. We leave in an hour."

That's my mom for you. She curses me out with every chance she has. My stepdad, Daryl, just lets her do it and snickers at me whenever she does.

I trudged up the stairs to my room and grabbed all the things that haven't been packed and put them in my carry on bag.

We were moving to New York because my mother got a job promotion there. I wanted to stay here with my friends but she refused.

I got ready and have everything that I needed to be packed up. I then looked at my room that I've been having for 17 years of my life.

I got a phone call from my friend Toby. "Hey Toby."

"Hey River. Can you come to the hang out real quick?"

"Yeah I have time. See you in 5." I hung up. I went downstairs and ran out the door before anyone could say anything to me.

The hangout was in Toby's backyard. He has a huge backyard. When he was little he had a tree house built and, every year on his birthday, he gets it bigger. Right now it's the size of a one story house. I actually spent some nights in there when I wanted to get away from home. Toby lives like ten minutes away so I started running to make it five minutes.

When I finally got there I had stopped for a second to catch my breathe. "Well looks like someone is tired." I heard my arrogant friend, Toby, say. "Well I haven't worked out in a while so I'm not use to it anymore." I say with a hint of sarcasm. "When you get to New York promise me you'll go to the gym. You need to get back to the old you. This girly you sucks."

I scowled. I don't want to be a girly girl. They like the color pink, they like to wear dresses, and they like to gossip. Ick! I hate gossip the most. It's irrelevant information.

"Don't call me that or I will tear your spinal cord out of your body." I threatened him.

"I believe you will so let's go to the other guys." Toby said trying to change the conversation. I rolled my eyes.

The other guys are also my friends, Aaron and Scott. I've been friends with them since second grade but I've known Toby since we were in diapers. We got to the tree house and I saw a banner that said "GOODBYE RIVER, WE WILL MISS YOU!"

"You guys did this for me?" I asked.

"Since our friend is leaving we have to let her leave with a big bang." Scott said coming from behind me. "Scott!" I yelled and hugged him.

"How come I don't get a hug like that?" Aaron asked. "The better question is why didn't I get a hug like that when I first saw you?" Toby asked.

"I will soon Aaron and because you, Toby, are an arrogant ass who doesn't deserve my cool hugs." I stuck my tongue out at him. He did it back, "Whatever."

"Alright Aaron, it's your turn now." I stopped hugging Scott and went to Aaron. "This feels nice." Aaron said. He is a touchy feely guy. When he laughs he has to at least touch someone, when he talks to you either your shoulder or arm is being touched, and he loves it when he gets hugs, he thinks that it's very comfortable.

I stopped hugging him. I looked back and Toby was pouting. I rolled my eyes at how big of a baby he was being, "Fine! You get one too, loser." His frowned turned upside down and he ran to hug me. After a while both, Scott and Aaron, joined us and had a group hug. "I'm gonna miss you guys."

"We are too but we will visit soon so don't worry." Aaron said.

"It's not the same but that will suffice. As long as I can still see you guys sooner or later." I said.

Then there was a silence.

"Guys I have to go. I'm leaving in 20 minutes. I guess this is it." We all get one last hug together and Toby walks me home.

"So do you think you'll like New York?" Toby asked.

"I don't know. I just hope they have a gym nearby or something that can keep me company. Maybe I'll get a job."

"Whoa! River getting a job? What has this world come to?!" Toby said being overly dramatic.

"Oh shut up loser."

"I just want you to remember one thing."

"And what is that?"

"I want you to be the same you. I don't want the past to come back. And if anyone does anything to you, I want you to call the cops and then call me. I want to make sure you're alright at all times." and there is Toby, my overly protective brother. Lol I'm hilarious.

"Don't worry Topy. I got this." I called him by his nickname I gave him. I called him that all the time when we were kids.

"Cool."

We got to my front door and I was hesitant to open it. Before I opened it, I hugged Toby one last time. "I'm gonna miss you so much."

"I know Riv's. Me too." I broke the hug. Tears were threatening to come out but I wouldn't let that happen. I sucked it up.

"Well, see you later Toby."

"Same to you River." That was the last thing I heard from him and closed the door.

"Where the hell have you been?" My bitch of a mother asked.

"I went to go say by to my friends."

"Oh you mean your group of fuck buddies. I didn't know my daughter was such a whore. I should have let you go with your father instead of keeping you."

"I do too." I mumbled to myself. She didn't hear me so I just sat on the couch waiting to leave.

"What are you doing?" Daryl, my stepdad, asked while slapping the back of my head. I rolled my eyes and ignored him. "So you just going to ignore me?" He slapped me. it wasn't real hard but it stung a little.

"Keep your fucking hands off of me." I gritted through my teeth.

"What are you gonna do about it? Call your mommy?" He did an evil laugh and slapped me again but a little harder. "Come on, it's time to go."

I got up and walked to the car. I didn't want to get in there. I felt like I would kill somebody A.K.A. Daryl.

We drove to the airport and in under 40 minutes we got there. We didn't have any luggage so we were able to go right to the security.

When Daryl went through the metal detector it started beeping. They had to pay him down and wand him. Turns out it was his belt. I rolled my eyes again. I swear one day my eyes will get stuck and I'll look like a crazy person. 

We got on the plane and waited for take off. My mother and step father sat towards the front while I sat way in the back row. I put my earphones in and let darkness consume me until the end of the flight.
