"Okay so I got another job offer and this one pays like 10 dollars an hour."

"That's great mom. Where is it?"

"Yeah that's the part you guys won't like. It's in Florida."

"WHAT?!" Shawn and I scream in unison.

"Sorry but I really need to take this job. We leave in a month so you can have time to say goodbye to everyone and we can pack up everything."

"Mom you can't do this! We just moved here a couple months ago and now you want us to move again?! I just started making friends and I have an amazing boyfriend and you want me to throw them all away just like that?! That's not happening I'm not going! I'll stay with Zach if I have to. I'm not moving to Florida." I said and walked out he door. I ran to Zach's house and knocked on the door. Ms. Apryll answered and when she saw I was crying so brought me inside.

"Lashea honey what's wrong?" I explained everything that was happening to her and she understood why I didn't want to leave.

"I'll talk to your mom and we'll figure something out okay? You can stay here if you'd like I'll call your mom and talk to her. Go on upstairs and get freshened up. Get some sleep."

"Thank you." I hugged her and walked up to Zach's room. I just walked in since he told me I could and he looked at me. He was doing a younow but he still came up to me to see what was wrong.

"Omg Lashea baby what's wrong?"

"My mom wants us to move again. Zach I don't want to leave you." I said crying into his shoulder.

"Baby it's okay. We'll figure something out okay? Maybe my mom will let you stay here with us while your mom and sister go to Florida."

"What about Shawn?"

"Isn't he 18? He can but his own house." (Shawn's 18 in this story. Fight me.)

"OMG your right! He can buy our house when my mom moves and I could stay with him. I'll go talk to my mom. I'll be right back." I pecked his lips and ran back to my house. When I walked in my mom was in the kitchen cooking. So I went and talked to her.

"Mom?"

"Hey what's up?"

"Okay so since Shawn's 18 he could buy the house and I could stay with him and finish school here while you and Gracie move to Florida. He's been saving up his money to buy a house so why not buy this one?"

"That's sounds like a plan. Go tell Shawn to come see." I ran upstairs and into Shawn's room. He was laying in bed and his eyes were all red and puffy. I feel really bad for him.

"Shawn come see we need to talk about something." He followed me into the
kitchen and we sat down at the table.

"Shawn how would you like to buy this house when Gracie and I move to Florida?"

"That sounds great!"

"OMG I totally forgot that you were going to college. What are we gonna do now? When he leaves for college I can't stay here by myself. I'm only 14." I said getting really worried.

"Lashea don't worry I didn't accept their offer. I wanna be a singer instead."

"That's great Shawn!"

"Yeah theirs this app called vine and I've been doing covers on there. Last week I got this call from this guy named Bart and he invited me to this event called MAGCON and I'm gonna go."

"That's great but how long will it be for?"

"Just for two weeks then I come back for 4 weeks then leave again. Maybe you could stay with Zach while I'm gone."
