Upside Down

No. Way.

Madison watches as Parker speeds away. Her heart breaks more and more with each second. How could he do this to her? No one has ever betrayed Madison Elliot. Maybe its for best, she thinks, he was a jerk anyway. She mopes inside her 10 million dollar mansion only to find everything in boxes. "Mom? Dad?" "Whats going on?" "Well, Dad says to her, "My company offered me a 25 million dollar raise an---. "Thats GREAT!" Madison yells. "But why is everything in boxes?" "You didn't let me finish." He says, "We have to be in Alabama tomorrow." "WHAT?"WHY?" "Calm down, Honey," Mom says to her. "There is a thriving position at a BMW dealership and only your dad is qualified to do it." " Where will be live?", Madison asks. There is no way that you could buy a house this fast." "Well, as you know ever since grandpa died, your Grandma has been pretty

lonely." "So, we are going to live with her." Madison knows that the move is set in stone and that there is no sense to argue. Mom looks at her, "Where is Parker?" She asks. "I thought he was coming in with you." "We broke up." Dad suddenly turns around from packing boxes. "What?"Why?". She tells her parents everything about what happened this afternoon. "Jerk." Mom says. "I'm sorry honey", Dad says. " These things just happen." "Yep", I reply as I walk up to my room to pack.

I begin to start where mom left on the packing in my room. I start picking up all of my pictures in frames and putting them in a box that says, FRAGILE. My eyes meet what used to be my favorite picture. It was the selfie we took at Disney World last year. We were on Space Mountain and he almost lost his phone when it started. I am going to miss him so much. What if he finds someone else? Everything happened so fast. This time yesterday we were snap-chatting ugly selfies and promising not to screenshot. They both did just to make the other one angry.

After a 6 long hours of packing, everything in the Elliot mansion is packed. Madison lays the sleeping bag Parker gave her on the dusty wood floor. "It still smells like him." She says.

In the morning, everything is in the U-HAUL and Madison is her room for the last time. She walks over to her closet and opens it. Parker's bright green Under Armor is still in her closet. She gets it from the hanger and smells it. It still smell just like it used to. She says goodbye to her room for the last time.

In the car, she stuffs Parker's hoodie in her Vera Bradley backpack that parker gave her for her birthday.For 3 and a half years, parker was her whole life. Madison doesn't feel that bad for leaving her whole life behind. All she wants is a fresh start.
