Adapting

Chapter 3

I got up and left her house. I swear I didn't know that was going to happen. She's like a sister to me why did I go along with that. I seriously need to be careful. I drove back home to pack and then I receive a text message while driving. I click on it to write back but when I look up I had noticed that I didn't stop at the red light. Holy shit, god loves me, luckily I didn't get caught or didn't get into an accident. I pull up to my block and park in the drive way, and head inside.

My mom packed so much since I was gone. The whole living room was empty. So I go into my moms room and I find her packing the last things in her room. " Sweetie you need to get packing we leave in 2 days and the people who are coming to get our stuff are arriving tomorrow and our stuff land over there in approx five days. We have to arrive at Penn before our stuff gets there. "

I nodd to my mom and went to my room. I knocked the fuck out though before I could even start packing.

August 31st

I woke up with a major headache. I get up though and walk into the bathroom. My mom yells at me to hurry out the bathroom. I seriously never have any privacy when I enter the bathroom. I do my business and go to where my mom was. " What happen mom?"

"The guys are coming soon and you still haven't packed. So go into your fucking room and get packing." she says in an angry tone.

It takes me a long time to pack my stuff and then I receive a text message. I look at my phone, I had a feeling Lily was going to text me to see me one more time before I left. It read:

Nate, I hate that our last conversation went that way, I'm in front of your house, please come out, I want to talk.

I knew it, I went to the front door and saw her outside, I had no choice but to open the door. " Come in, I'm packing."

" Wow, you wasn't kidding, I really hate that you have to leave."  she says shrugging.

" Same here, but it's actually happening. " I say packing my things in a rapid motion.

" Can I help you pack?"

" Yeah don't just stand there, help me while you talk, since you wanted to speak to me." I say holding the pair of roshes we got at the mall so we can match at school.

" Oh, those shoes, I won't have anyone to match with now. But why I came here is to apologize for my actions. I threw myself at you like that and it was wrong." she says closing a full box with tape.

" Don't worry about it, I'm over it. It's like it never happened. Do you want something so you can remember me by?" I say as I start stuffing another box with my clothes.

" I want you favorite sweater, with that one cologne that I love." She closes my sneaker box with tape

" Okay." So I take my favorite red and blue Tommy Hilfiger sweater and spray it with a polo cologne and then hand it to her. " Here, have the cologne too, you can spray it whenever it wears out. "
"You are the best Nathan." She hugs me tight and then continues to seal up my boxes as I pack them.

We finished packing for five hours straight, and then the moving men came to take our stuff, My mom, Leanne and I along with the men, pushed everything out of the house and ended up with nothing but our suit cases that we packed for the 5 days that we won't have our full wardrobe. We locked the house and we got into my car.
