1978.

It was only a matter of time before I arrived at my new and forever home, Hurricane Utah.

I don't even know why Mama wanted to move away! I had the best friends back at my old house, plus Cassidy, my younger sister had the biggest tantrum ever knowing we were moving. But did Mama care? No.

I sighed, looking out the window, listening to my younger sister Cassidy sing her heart out to a song on the radio.

"mamaaa... just killed a man... put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead".

I sighed boredly thinking of what my old friends are doing right now. Do they even care if I'm gone? What if I never see them again? What if-

"Hun, is everything alright?"

I snap out of my thoughts and look back at the rearview mirror where I met eye to eye with Mama.

"I'm fine." I looked out of my side window over the horizon. How will I even adapt to Hurricane Utah? How are the people there? Will I fit in?

" Okay... I know you're probably a little upset about moving, especially you, Cass, but girls... don't you see the good side of all this?"

Good side?

I hear Mama sigh. " What I mean is... there IS a future kiddo, your world ain't endings... so cheer up!" Easy for her to say! She works abroad!

Mama is a journalist, so she travels abroad, going to different countries doing interviews, and all that fancy stuff. She doesn't have time to make "friends" it's going to Paris than to Japan. No. Stopping. Unless when she has days off, then she comes back home to spend time with me and Cassidy. But only for a few weeks, then back over the oceans.

"Anyway, Cassidy, can you get out the map and hand it over to y/n? Ima needs it for these roads up ahead." Cassidy looks behind her seat and smiles, handing me the map.

" No problem! Just... don't get us lost like LAST TIME." Mama and I both sigh.

" Please make sure it's not like last time. We were in Time Square for 4 hours and I missed my interview with Betty White..." Oh geez, I wasn't THAT BAD.
