The Misunderstood Boy

Packing

I'm done. Everything is packed and boxed. My mom got remarried to a lovely man named David Pharaoh. Owner and founder of Pharoah Industries. It is one of the largest companies in the world. Mom did amazing if you ask me. HE reminds of Gerard Butler. He's from Scotland. He brought along two cargos that he calls his sons. Jacob and Nathan. Nathan takes after David and Jacob takes after their mother Sarah. She died of leukemia five years ago. From the stories I've heard she was a wonderful woman who was alays happy.

I grab some small boxes from the floor and walk them downstairs to put them in the truck. I walk bavk inside to see my two best friends standing in what used to be my room. Olivia who is white and Karla who is hispanic. " What's up guys?" i said walking closer to them. "We got you something as a going away present." KArla said while handing me a huge box. What the hell is this. " Awww. You guys didnt have to do this." I said taking the box. "Well we wanted you to know that we love you and we do listen to you when you tell us things." Olivia said looking down. I opened the box to see a baby bunny. I've always wanted one since i was a little girl. " Oh my buttercups! She is so adorable. It is a she right?" Ilooked uo to swe them nodding their heads. " Her name is Clover. We got her from the farm over on Old Creek Road. Ya know the one where the old pond is." Karla said. Iput the box down and wrapped my arms around the two girls that have been by my side since 1st grade. "Thank you two so much." i said wipping away invisible tears. " But- you do know im only moving two hours away? Right?" I backed up from them. "SO!" they yelled at me.

Nathan and David came inside my room and grabbed the rest of the boxes. " Come on Jay dad said to hurry up." Nathan said walking down the stairs. " Ok Im coming. Let's go guys."

We walked downstairs with my friends ahead of me. I stopped by the kitchen to see the wall where my dad would measure me as I was growing up. It was all the way up to age 13. I'm 16 now. My dad and mom got a divorce because of their corporation issues and they stopped trusting and loving each other. I was devistated when my parents split. But hey I get two of everything from holidays to birthdays. I ran outside to one of the packers. "Hey do you have a crowbar?" I asked him. He looked at me like I was crazy but gave me the crow bar. Yelling a thank you behind me I ran back to the wall on the doorway of the kitchen. Yes you guessed it. I'm taking my memories. I placed the crowbar in between the the wall and pulled. I continued this 'till I was holding a long thin board in my hands. I put it under my pit and walked out the door. "Jada! Are you crazy?" I jumped hearing her voice a few feet away from me. "What?" I said trying to hide a 8 ft. Board behind my 5'4 frame. "Why? Just why would you rip off the wall?" She said rubbing her for head. "I just wanted to take dad's and my memories with me."I whispered as a response. She sighed and walked over to me and hugged my body. I may get presents from my dad but I rarely see him. He would send the presents or have his new wife and daughter bring it. Like it doesn't hurt enough that he won't show up on special occasions but he send his white version of us. That is why I really hate this divorce. I just wanted to keep the good memories we shared before he left and moved across the state.
"Come on let's go baby girl." She said kissing my forehead and wrapping an arm around my shoulder. We walked by the truck and I placed to board in the back and gave the mover back his crowbar telling him thank you. "Hey are you ok?" Karla walked up to me with a look of worry on her face. I put on my best poker face and smiled."Yeah I'm fine. I'm going to miss you guys." I said changing the subject. I hugged my girls and we did our handshake. "We're gonna miss you too boo." Olivia said wiping a tear from Karla's face. "Baby girl let's go we have to get on the road." I hears David say from the range rover. I nodded my head. I hugged my friends one more time. "Okay bye." I said getting in the car. As we pulled into the road I turned around and saw the girls walk into the middle of the street waving. I waved back. I turned back around as soon as we turned the corner. Nathan had Clover in his hands. She hopped over to my legs and rested her body in my lap closing her eyes going to sleep. "Do you think Buddy will like Clover?" I asked Nathan. "It's hard to tell he likes everything so we'll find out when we get there I guess." I nodded my head then leaned over and put my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.
Goodbye Shelton View.  Hello Willow Springs.
