They say that life is a rollercoaster of emotions. I've been feeling empty for a year so I guess my rollercoaster hasn't really been working lately.
My name's Allison Hope, I was born 16 years ago and I am from Texas. My mom recently had a great idea *sarcasm*: We will move to Ohio, in two days. Yeah, she's already found a new house, my new school and what not. Yes, my mom is full of surprises. Usually really bad.
I don't blame her though, she wants the best for us. Oh yeah, us: I forgot to mention I have an older brother. Not much older, he is one year older than me, so he's 17. His name is Christopher and he is the best brother I could ever ask for. Yes, he is overprotective and he pisses me off all the time, but I am so blessed to have him.
About my mom, Mary, she is the coolest mom out there. I guess I was just lucky on the family part.
My dad was pretty nice too. I didn't know him very well because he was always at work, but he was my role model. He 'was': my dad passed away last Christmas in a car accident. Sometimes I feel like it is my fault because he left his job to buy me my Christmas present and on the way back home, he died. Yeah, not a positive story.
I have something to remember him though: my Christmas present. My puppy, Casper. Although he was in the car that day, he was clever and lucky enough to hide under a seat so he survived. I named him Casper because he is a white Akita (He is white, he looks like a ghost. Duh?) and to be honest, Casper is a pretty badass name. Casper is my best friend.
So, this is my small family. Luckily, we get along. We support each other. Losing my dad surely wasn't something we were looking forward to. I admire my mom for being so strong. We miss him, every day. But I believe he is still here. Someone dies when we forget about them. We will not forget about him.
But anyways, back to the whole "moving to another state" part. Mom thought we need a fresh start. And that's how I will lose my two friends. Yes, my social life hasn't been so active for the past few years, but I'm okay with that. I just don't want to lose Jessica and Oliver.
Tomorrow is my last day here, I will try to make it as good as possible. Maybe I need a fresh start, people -except for Jess and Oli- here think I am a weirdo anyway. And my past doesn't make my reputation much better. 'Be positive Allison.'
