-Luke's POV-
Tonight was another night I just couldn't seem to fall asleep. I've lost count but I've been staring at the ceiling for what seems like hours.
A few moments later I hear the front door slam shut causing me to sit up out of my bed. The footsteps increasingly get louder, to the point were they are right outside my door. The door opens revealing my mother who looks like shes seen a ghost.
"Mom what are you doing it is three in the morning?"
"Get up now. We need to leave. Pack all your things, im going to go wake your brothers."
"Where are we-
Before i could finish my sentence she hurried out the door down the hall. I packed all my things without question and sat on my now bare floor. It's around 5am and my mom still hasn't come back in my room to explain where we're going. I decided to get up and look around for her or one of my brothers.
I go down the hall to my Ben's room and he's slowly waking up.
"Ben did mom say where we are going?"
"What? Oh no she didn't. She just told me to pack. Wow you have crazy bed head right now." He says sitting up rubbing his eyes.
"This isn't time for jokes!" I throw a pillow at his face and storm out of his room.
Jack's in the bathroom and i still havent found my mom.

I finally find her packing her bags like life depended on it.
"Mom where are we going?"
"Luke", she paused, "we are moving."
"What?! Why are we moving! We've lived here since i was 11!"
"Please don't yell. We just have to. It's not like i want to but please trust me on this."
"Im not moving." I said crossing my arms.
"What? Yes you are. Your only sixteen and its not safe."
"Why is it not safe. And where are we moving to?"
"I don't know yet. Maybe California." She said ignoring my first question.
"That's all the way across the country! Can I atleast go tell Liv goodbye? And what about your job?"
"No. No one can know where we are going im sorry that it has to be this way, but this is what has to be done. And i guess ill just get a new job. No big deal." She was on the verge of tears as she continues to pack.
I stormed out of her room walking to the front door.
"Woah slow down there. What's going on? Are you crying?" Jack says stopping me from going walking any further.
"New flash, pack your stuff,we're moving." I push him out of the way and headed to the front door.
"What!? Are you serious?" I hear him say before i opened the front door and slammed it shut.
I ran across the street to Liv's house and started banging on the door but no one answered. I sat on her porch, tears rolling down my face, trying to get ahold of her but her phone went straight to voicemail. Typical Liv, her phones always dead. I kept calling her until Ben calls me from across the street.
Thirty minutes later we left to go catch our flight to California without goodbyes and me left without answers.
I always had a little hope we would come back to florida one day. But that day never came.
Okay i know there is alot of flashbacks so far but they're just fillers. The next few chapters will be present time. Comment and vote please!
