hometown // ethan cutkosky

02.

its 3 years after. Andrea is now 15. she ran down stairs because her mother called her. it was the last month of summer. she was excited to go back to school.

her mother sighed while looking at all the bills scattered on the table. "what's up mom?" she asked while she sat next to her. her mother looked at her and sighed again. she knew what she was gonna say was gonna hurt her.

"andrea. i think were moving back to vegas." her mother said. andrea
looked down at the floor. she knew her parents were struggling with the bills ever since they moved to California. "and nobody bought our house." she said while she was picking up all the papers.

andrea's blonde hair covered her face. her mom hugged her. "i know you love this place. but we can't afford to live here." andrea nodded her head. than ran to her room.

her boyfriend was at the window. waiting for her. he smiled at her while she kept a straight face. how was she gonna break it to him. she locked her door and opened her window. he gave her a kiss and jumped in.

"jas-" he cut her off. which got her angry. she was already stressed. all she thought about all the packing and bullshit she has to go through, including this.

"babe. guess what, on Saturday its gonna be?" he asked her. "our one year anniversary.." she looked down. trying not to break in to tears. she loved California, now she has to leave it. he walked up to andrea. "what's wrong." he asked andrea. "well, jason.. im moving.. moving back to vegas." he hugged her. "when?" she hugged him back. "i dont know." she let go.

her dad agreed with her mom. andrea tried to argue with them, but nothing could change their minds. they started packing fast. her mom was afraid of the bills. "we're leaving on Friday. so pack as fast as you can." her mom gave her a hug.

andrea- jason.. sorry.. its over..

Andrea was in las vegas. she took a picture of her house and sent it to ashley.

andrea- (image attached) guess who's back and betta than eva?

ashley- no fucking way. im coming over.

andrea grabbed as much as she could and ran up to her room. as she set the boxes and bags down someone hugged her from behind.

"ashley!" she yelled as she turned around and hugged her. they broke the hug and ashleys' eyes widen. "you look way different. but you look good though!" she winked. "you look great ya self." they hugged each other again. Andrea explained everything to ashley while they unpacked. they also talked about friends, family, school ect...

"how's cutkosky?" ashley asked. "cutkosky? well, i dont know I stopped talking to him ever since he rejected you." she laughed. "and 'cutkosky' still?"  she added. "yeah sorry. im used to calling him that."

it was the first day of Sophomore year. she made sure she looked good. she picked up ashley. they both walked in school. they met up with their old friends. ethan wasn't in there group. she was happy. maybe happier than she was in California..

"what's your name?" someone tapped andrea's shoulder.
