Hi yalll!! Life's been so busy, I've got so many things I want to do and allat but I finally finished writing this chapter! Hope yall like it <3 lotsa lovee for yall since you've read this far and as a reward you get a nice long chapter <3

"Yeah. I can't manage you pack of fucking brats by myself anymore. Kaiya's coming home drunk, Caleb has weed, Georgia fucking failed her exam. I'm fucking done. We're moving across the country to so your gran can look after you. I talked it over with them, they'd be happy to help." 

"No. No we're not." I spat. I'd just met possibly the best person in the world, and she really wants to throw all of that away?

"Oh yes we fucking are hun. Start packing your things you shits because first day of the summer holidays is our last day here." My heart was already ramming against my ribcage and I wasn't having any more of this shit. I got up from the table, not really thinking anymore, shoved my shoes on and left the house, running as fast as I could, without stop, to Reese's house. It was the only place I could go right now.

I didn't even realise tears were streaming down my face. 

I hammered on the door. Reese opened it, and as soon as he saw me his face went pale, millions of thoughts racing through his mind. I was a mess. I regretted all of a sudden that we hadn't even tried to meet up once while he was grounded. Made some memories while we still had the chance. Because I'll probably never see him again in a few days. Just that thought sent a fresh stream of tears down my face.

"Reese, who is it?" Lois called from the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Reese asked me, completely ignoring Lois.

"Reese, you don't have to ignore me." She came up behind him, her face lighting up as soon as she saw me. This was the moment that I realised I had tears streaming down my face, and I frantically tried wiping them away, but she'd already noticed.

"Oh no, Georgia. What are you doing here? Are you alright?" She asked, concerned. "Are you not getting ready for school?"

"I mean, I'm meant to, but I just came here to say that I-I'm moving in a few days."

Reese's eyes widened and Lois' jaw dropped. Reese tugged my arm to come inside and closed the door behind me. All of a sudden there seemed to be so many things that were more important than school.

"Oh, how so?"

We sat down at the breakfast table with Malcolm and Dewey and I told them everything.

Reese simply stared, trying not to cry, Dewey and Malcolm couldn't look more confused yet upset, and Lois bit her lip to rawness.

"I think I'm going talk to your mom about this." Lois concluded. "I really don't want to butt in, but this is a terrible idea. I mean, do you even know where you're moving to? Do you have a house bought? Besides, you're a lovely girl Georgia, and I would be very upset if I didn't get to see you again. And I know you and Reese are really good friends. And ever since Reese met you he's been behaving way better than he used to." I burst into fresh tears. Lois wrapped her arms around me. She was better than my real mom.

Once I'd gotten myself toghether again, she kicked us all out to go to school, remembering about it all of a sudden. She didn't even realise I didn't have my bag, which was a very un - Lois - like of her. I hope she hadn't actually thought we were going to school. 

As the four of us walked down the sidewalk, me and Reese tried to slowly slip away so we could go to our spot and hang out for one of the last times.

"Reese, where are yous going?" Malcolm's brain was really getting to big for his head.
