"No no nooo! I don't want to go back!" I whined to my Mother.

"Yes, we are moving back to Nebraska and that's final." She said taking a sip of her coffee.

"But Mom! I can't go back there!" I said leaning on the kitchen table. She can't make me go.

" You will go, and that's Final!" She said again. Hmm she probably can't think of a good excuse.

"But it's going to be soo awkward!" I huffed. " It's not fair. Why can't I just stay here with Kyle? That would be best." I scoffed crossing my arms.

"No, I don't trust Kyle. You guys would probably Do something bad without parental guidence. And It won't be awkward! It happened like 5 years ago.." She said straining her brain to rememeber. Yeah, of course she wouldn't remember because it didn't happen to HER. But I remember it all in perfect detail.. Which haunts me every night since My mother told me we were going back.

"Actually, it was 3 years ago." I said sitting down on a stool by the island.

"Ohh i'm sure he won't remember a thing!" She said flipping her hand up and down like she was swatting at a fly.

I sighed, I know I wasn't going to be able to stay with Kyle. But it was worth a shot.

"Fine. But you should know that i'm not happy about this. And if I remember correctly in the mother hand-book the number One rule is ' ALWAYS THINK OF YOUR CHILDEREN'S NEEDS BEFORE YOURS OWN.' Hmm.. I don't see that happening. Do you?." I said with a smirk.

"First of all. I do think of your needs, and this is best for you. When you get older you will understand. Second, there is no hand-book, April Rose." She said smiling sweetly.

I grumbled. Crap, I thought she was to old to think about that.. And I hate when she uses my second Name.. 'April Rose.' That doesn't even sound that cool! I hate having two names...

 Well now onto plan B.

"Well.. Fine, why can't we move to at least Lincoln or something.. anywhere but Omaha. why are we moving back anyways? There has to be a reason. There's always a reason." I asked. 

"We have to go stay with Grandma. She isn't doing to well.." She said with a sad expression. Dang, now we have to go. My grandma is amazing and I love her and will do anything for her. 

"Okay.. I guess I'll just have to suck it up.." I said slowly not wanting to say it but did for grandma. It's for grandma. For grandma. I kept telling myself. 

"I love you, April." My mom said with a smile.

"Yeah yeah, love you too." I said waving a hand over my shoulder. I headed towards my room which wasn't that big since we live in an apartment.

Currently, we are living in a 2 room apartment in Andover, Kansas. I would rather live in a crowded dump like this than in the same state with HIM. 

I leaped onto my bed and sighed. I took my phone out of my pocket and saw that I had a text from  Kyle.

Leap Frog?

I was confused for a moment, but then remembered our Secret hidout. It was this little creek in the Forest behind our Highschool. We named it Leap Frog Creek because there are always hundreds of frogs leaping around the area. We have a tree house there too. I painted half of it Orange and Kyle had painted the other half Blue. 

As you could probably tell those are our favorite colors. Anyways, We had found that little creek one day when we were about 11 years old. The tree house looked old and abandoned so we decided to fix it up and make a lock on the door so no one else could use it. We both have little key necklace's around our neck to get in it. It was really big inside.. it used up two trees. Imagine that?
