We pull in the the long, twisting driveway and I see the massive house in front of me. The white house with the green shutters and the brown, wooden door.

Cameron is bobbing his head to his hard core death metal and dad is tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. I can tell he's nervous. I was always able to tell.

We stop at the end of the drive way and I hop out of the car. I run up to the door and my dad tosses me the key. I quickly unlock the door and toss the key back to my dad. I race up the creaking steps and stop at the end of the hallway.

A white door sits in front of my face and I hesitate before opening it. When I do, a like shade of grey is painted on the walls and it's not too big, and no too small.

"Dad! I want this one." I shout.

"Alright. That's okay. I don't care!" He shouts back.

I go back down the steps and start to grab boxes that read Adriana's room In my dads handwriting.

Once a few boxes are in my room, my phone vibrates from my pocket and I am quick to grab it. Its a minute'som Maria. I open the message.

Hope your enjoying Texas!!!

I roll my eyes because she misspelled 'you're'.

I quickly type back.

It's great. The house is nice and we just started bringing everything in. And by the way, you misspelled you're.

She types back.

Whatever. Hey, I have to go eat. Talk to you tonight?

I send her a simple yeah and continuing bringing the boxes in.

While I'm unpacking the boxes, dad and Cameron bring my bed and put it together. I fill my bookshelves and stuff random clothes into my dresser, and when Cameron and Dad are done I make my bed and organize the rest of my room.

When I get done it's 9:12 and I decide to text Maria.

Done unpacking. What's up?

My phone vibrates.

Not much, just hanging out with Oliver and watching a movie.

Oliver and Maria have been dating for two-and-a-half years. They're honestly the cutest couple ever on my opinion.

That's cool, hows he doing?

She doesn't text back within 15 minutes, so I set my phone aside and turn on my laptop. I check my email. I was supposed to get and email from my English teacher, Mr. Myers, since we moved before we get the papers back. Nothing.

I shut my laptop and set it on the small table that sits adjacent to my bed.

A knock at my door startles me.

"Come in."

It's Cameron. He holds a T-shirt in his arms and hands it to me. It's the Nirvana shirt I wanted for my birthday. But, I didn't get it.

"Here. I picked it up before we came. Thought about how much you love them." I look at my infamous picture of Kurt Cobain with his cigarette and guitar and back at Cameron.

"Thanks." I take the shirt from his hand and try it on. It fits perfectly.

"Well, uh, you're welcome. Goodnight?"

"Yeah, goodnight."

He turns and walks out of the room. I stand from my bed and set the shirt in the dresser. I guess I'll call it a night.

I crawl into my large, comfortable bed and bury myself in the comforter. It takes awhile to fall asleep. I stare at my digital alarm clock and drift off when the clock reads 10:12.

Thoughts? I came up with this idea at like two in the morning. And just a heads up, the next chapter will change points of view between Harry and Adriana. But yeah, what do you guys think so far?
