Moving Day

Brooklyn Davidson
——————————————————————————
Brook sighed as she got out of the car. Looking up at the old building called Addison Apartments. It was a big change from her usual set up. Fern was playing on his game boy, still sitting in the car. Aunt Sara sighed and got out of the car. Going to Brook's side and smiled. "Ready to start a new Chapter?" She asked in a excited tone. Giving her a delight squeeze. Brook sighed. "Yup, totally." She didn't seem sure, something about this place just seemed really off.

It was so different from Everglade Falls. Moving to Nockfell was a big thing for her, she had never been so far from home. Yet it was just a few towns over. "Brooklyn help me bring the stuff inside. And get Fern to help." Aunt Sara said grabbing a box filled with plates and utensils for eating. Walking towards the door of the apartment complex. In overall statement, this move just felt wrong to her. Like something was going to go horribly wrong. Brook sighed and opened the car door to her Aunt's old teal blue 1950 suv. "Aunt Sara says you have to help." Fern groaned as he died in the game and looked at Brook. Rolling his eyes and scoffing, putting his game boy down and getting out of the car.

Putting his bookbag onto his back and taking a box of plates and other stuff. Heading towards the door. She watched with sorrow, feeling bad for Fern. He had never moved before, especially into an apartment. It was new for them. But they had to go along with it to make their Aunt happy. She had already went through enough, this was the least that they could do for her. Brook grabbed a box and started walking into the apartment. Once she walked inside the air grew thick and slightly heavy.

Stained tacky tile was layed out on the ground. A small round coffee table in the corner near the bathrooms. Chairs sitting around it with stains on the cushion, brown walls with stairs and a hallway. Leading to rows of green doors with apartment numbers. A desk nearby had a wall were all the apartment keys were. The worker sat there and skimmed through magazines. Ignoring Brook's presence. She sighed and walked up the stairs, heading to room 201. It wasn't that much of a walk.

And she didn't mind getting a few steps in since she hasn't been active much. The door was open and Fern was sitting on the couch while Aunt Sarah was putting plates and cups away. "Want help?" Brook asked placing the box on the counter. "Actually yes, can you and Fern grab the rest of the boxes in the car and your belongings while we wait for the van to bring the rest of our stuff here?" "Sure." Brook shrugged and walked over and took Fern's gameboy. "Hey!" He yelled crossing his arms. Frowning at her, his messy curly blonde hair matted from his earlier nap, olive green eyes usually glistening with mischief of smug. Sun tan caramel skin with birthmarks. He was a fit kid but with a cocky and confident attitude. Fern wore a baggy red and white stripped shirt with baggy cargo pants, worn out white sneakers with messy laces he never tied.

"Come on. Let's go." She placed his gameboy ontop of the coffee table and started walking to the door, he followed reluctantly. Pouting the whole way to the lobby. "Pst!" A whisper came form one of the doors. Brook and Fern looked around until seeing a man opening his mail slot. "You two, your the Davidsons?" He asked curiously. The two looked at each other and back at the man speaking through the mail slot. "Yeah that us..why?" Fern asked giving the man an odd look.

"Well I'm Mr. Addison, the owner of the Addison Apartments. I thought to introduce myself." He said in a slightly enthusiastic tone. It was odd that a grown man was speaking through his mail slot instead of speaking to them like a normal person. Was the whole apartment filled with weirdos like him? "Well it's nice to meet you Mr. Addison." Brook said giving a polite smile. Pinching Fern's elbow as she saw he was about to ask something dumb. "Sorry but we have to finish bringing our stuff to our apartment. It was nice meeting you." She said politely and dragged Fern with her by his shirt collar.
