Forever

Chapter 4

A couple days later we finally moved to California. It was beautiful. All the flowers, bright green grass, and oh my gosh the smell of the fresh water from the beach really got to me.

At this point I really didn't care if all the kids at my new school are cocky, my main goal is to keep my mothers death a secret for as long as possible.

What? I don't want a repeat of the day I literally walked into hell!

Our house wasn't exactly a mansion, but it wasn't a small apartment either. I had my own room and so did dad and Lilly but there was still an extra room for an office or guest room.

Like your going to have guest anytime soon.

Shut up.

My lord, my inner self can really be rude. Although, it was slightly true.

The only disadvantage of this house was the fact that it was directly next to another house. I legitimately feel like I can hop over to the bedroom next to mine.

Oh gosh. This better not be cliché. You know, when the girl lives  next to the schools jerk? Yeah, well I hope and pray to god a hot guy doesn't have the bedroom that is next to mine, or even live next to me for that matter.

As I continue to unpack, I look over into the window next to mine. Surprisingly, there was a little girl that looked about the same age as Lilly, playing with Barbie and Ken.

At least Lilly will have a good friend in about ...... 4 hours.

My wall was plain white but dad and I plan to paint it later on if we like it here. I had two dark colored dressers and a little pink stand which had a gold lamp on it. My bed isn't as big as it was at my old house but it wasn't a huge difference either.

I had a picture of my beautiful mother and I when we were younger. She looked so happy kneeling next to me.

I remember when my dad took this picture. I got star student at school so my reward was going to the park. I remember I was so excited to go on the swings. We were there for about an hour but before we left, my dad wanted to take a picture. This was the picture that he took and I will treasure it forever.

A tear dripped onto my hand,one after another. I didn't want to cry too hard so I stepped outside to get a nice fresh air.

It really was pretty where I live. The people that lived here before must've really loved gardening . The grass was a healthy green and there were flowers along the edges of our house.

I looked down at my slightly worn out shoes and watched as I walked. I just take that tiny moment to let my tears fall until my vision got blurry. I wiped my tears and looked up only to find myself against a hard figure.

"Um sorry," I said to the attractive guy. Wait, attractive? I have never been so close to a guy like this before. I study his figure.

He wore a black t-shirt with tan joggers. His hair was a blond-ish brown and he was wearing a pair of dark blue vans. His eyes were kind of a hazel color, they were beautiful. I looked at his lips, they looked soft. His eyebrows scrunched up and his lips started to move.

"Watch where your going, princess!"

Oh. He's cute but cocky. Ha no thanks. And I Hate it when anyone calls me by a nickname only if it's my family and friends, which I don't have much of. Especially the name of "princess". My mom used to call me that.

"Don't call me that." I spat back, adding a glare to get more of an affect. I expected a reaction but instead he muttered a few words that I couldn't pick out and walked away.

Gosh why does every hot guy have to be so cocky. Why can't they be sweet hearts and cute?

I turned the corner and stopped in my tracks. Oh my gosh! They have a Dunkin Donuts here and it's right around the corner from my house! This is going to be my go to place now.

I jogged up to the door but they weren't open. Awe, that's a bummer.

My hand dropped back to my side and I turned on my heel. Well, I guess I'm going back home. I walked my way past houses and shops and when I was almost home, I noticed Lilly and the little girl jump roping. I decided to walk up to them.

I plastered a smile on my face and spoke," Hi Lilly! Who's your friend?"

"This is Temperance Sawyer!" She replied with a goofy grin.

I kneeled down and said hi to Temperance. She smiled back and nodded her head causing her brown curls to bounce.

"So how did you guys meet?" I asked curiously. Lilly was the first to speak.

"Well dad asked me to grab his book out of the car and I said yes and I saw Temperance in her driveway and she was jump roping and I wanted to play so I gave dad his book and came back outside and I asked if I could play and she said yes so that's how we met."

"That's nice! Well I'll catch you later. Oh! My name is Paige Marie by the way. Nice meeting you Temperance!" As I was about to walk off, she pulled my arm and asked if I could stay to play tag with them. Of course I said yes because I always loved it when my mom and dad played tag with me.

So here I was looking goofy chasing two little kids around my lawn. It was funny actually but I'm getting tired. I stopped the game and said we would continue playing tomorrow. I had to pinkie promise them though.

I entered my house and found dad on the sofa. He looked pretty old with his glasses on.

"Hey dad." I said as I dropped onto the leather sofa.

"Hey! So the bills are do in about a month and I just got this new job as a business manager. It took a lot of convincing and hard work but I got it! I also called Kentina High School (a/n I made the name up but sorry if it's a real school elsewhere) and they said that you are able to start tomorrow."

"Uh okay. Congrats on the job and see ya tomorrow night!"

I jogged up the stairs to my bedroom. I guess I will just braid my hair and let my hair be wavy for tomorrow and then I'll just see what outfit I want to wear later on. But for now I just want to sleep.

I shut my closet door and turn off my lamp. Tomorrow is going to be a big day, I need as much luck as I can get. I tugged the comforters over me and drifted off to sleep. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hey guys it's Gabby! I'm so sorry this is a late update but I was just busy with school,school, and sleep. (No?okay.)

Well I decided to start writing the 4th chapter tonight and it's sorta long and kind of boring but hang in there, I swear it gets better!

It is exactly 1:23 a.m so I'm exhausted but I wanted to get this chapter published.
