I Thought I Would Never See You Again

Ch. 3 New Life

I woke up to a sudden stop only to look out the window to see a two story house with a blossoming tree in the yard. In the front you could see a balcony on the second story and it looked out of place on such an ordinary house. I could see that everyone else was already heading into the house. All i could think about was how much i wanted to be back in Wyoming with Hannah starting our senior year together like we had planned. We were going to conquer the school. It was going to be our year. But i wouldn't get to do any of that because of this stupid fucking move. I made my way out of the truck grabbing my pillow, iPod and headed towards the house that was to be the death of me. The inside of the house looked extraordinarily normal. There was nothing i could see that made it unlike any other house.

"Shawna your bedroom will be the first one on the left up the stairs." Mom yelled from somewhere on the first floor.

"Okay mom thanks for letting me know." I yelled back. "Why the fuck do i have to be here... Why did i let Nath talk me into thinking this was a good idea??" I grumbled to myself while walking up the stairs to find the room mom was talking about. I finally reached the top of the stairs and looked to the left and saw a door black as a moonless night. I opened the door to find a gorgeous room with one zebra painted wall and three black walls that matched the door. There was a king sized bed with four fluffy pillows pushed up against one of the black walls. The comforter was also zebra design with black sheets and black pillow covers. There were empty picture frames on the walls just waiting to be filled. I dropped my pillow and iPod on the bed and opened one of the doors to find a huge walk in closet that was a beige color with majority of my clothes already hanging up and put away in the two chestnut dressers.

"Well this looks nice lets figure out where door number two leads." I whispered to myself. I walked out of the closet and towards the white glass door with lace curtains hanging down. Slowly i turned the knob and cracked open the door to find that it was to the balcony on the front side of the house. I walked out into the balcony to catch my breath at one of the most beautiful views. The sky was a cloudless blue and you could see the ocean. I looked down to see mom talking with some guy that looked about my age. He had blonde hair, tanned skin and a muscular build. "Mom what the hell do you think your doing?!" I thought to myself. I walked back into my room; closed the door to the balcony. Suddenly i heard a strange grumble come from my stomach.. "Seems like its time to find a snack."

Back downstairs i wondered around the first floor and i finally found the kitchen. I opened up random cabinets until i found the double stuffed Oreos and grabbed a glass of milk. "Mmmmm best snack ever" i thought to myself as i heard footsteps approaching. I turn around with my mouth full to see mom with the strange guy she was talking with outside now in the kitchen. I quickly swallowed the Oreos that were in my mouth and took a sip of milk.

"Uhh hi mom and who is this?" I asked unsure what i should do.

"Oh Shawna this is our next door neighbor Peyton Montgomery. Peyton this is my daughter Shawna." I couldn't believe mom was doing this to me. I was still a mess because of the long trip.

"Umm hi its nice to meet you Peyton. Uh mom could i talk to you??" I said hesitantly walking into the other room with mom on my heels. I shut the door when we were both in the room. I turned around to see mom smiling.

"What the hell are you doing mom?!" I semi-yelled at her but not loyd enough to where Peyton could hear me.

"What on earth are you talking about Shawna? I thought this would be good for you. Peyton seems like a sweet, polite young man. He saw us pull up so he came over to introduce himself. He is also going to Cassidie's school for the gifted. So I thought it would be good to introduce you two so you would at least know someone on your first day." Mom explained her actions while her smile faded.

"Mom I don't want to make any attachments here at all. Once I get the chance to go back home. I'm taking it because that is where I belong. I don't belong here. Plus I don't need anymore people in my life. People just end up leaving and I already have had enough of that." I tried explaining to her but all she did was shake her head.

"Shawna I know you don't like it here but the least you could do is give it a chance. You have the chance to start over; to redefine yourself and you don't even want to take the chance? Just think no one knows about that day here. No one will be asking you questions all the time or even calling you a liar. So you can get your ass back into that kitchen and apologize to Peyton for being so rude." Mom stated.

"Fine I will give it a chance." I said opening the door and slowly walking back into the kitchen. I reached the kitchen to see Peyton standing looking out the window. I took a moment to observe his appearance. He was dirty blonde with somewhat short hair. He had a very muscular build with tan skin like he spent all his time outside. He seemed like the athletic type. "hmm I wonder what a guy like him is doing at Cassidie's." I thought to myself as I made my presence known. Peyton turned around and when he noticed it was me he smiled.

"Umm hey I'm sorry about earlier I shouldn't of been rude. Its just I'm still upset about this whole move.." before I knew it I was rambling and Peyton interrupted me. We sat down at the bar.

"Shawna its fine. Its perfectly fine. I understand how you feel. I didn't want to move here either when my mom decided it would be best. So don't worry about it I understand." Peyton smiled a breathtaking smile. "So I hear you are going to Cassidies School for the Gifted. What are you going to be studying?" He asked.

"I am going to be studying acting. I was in quite a few plays at my other school plus my little brother Nathan convinced me I could do it. What do you do?" I explained.

"That's cool. You look like someone that could be on the big screen one day. I'm glad Nathan convinced you because I'm sure you will love it. Oh and I am a singer who also writes his own raps." He stated with that same breathtaking smile.

"You....rap? Are you any good? Wait what am I saying you have to be good if you got into Cassidies." I was about to start rambling when he stopped me by putting his hand on my hand. I was shocked but then I slowly brought my hands to my lap. He took his hand back and stood up.

"Well it was nice meeting you Shawna but its getting late and I need to get home for my weekly live stream."

I stood up and we walked to the door. I opened the door and Peyton started walking out. He was half way down the driveway when I said "It was nice meeting you too Peyton."

He turned around and smiled while saying "Goodnight Shawna. Oh and Shawna your mom asked me if I could possibly take you to school since she will be busy with your brothers.." I cut him off mid-sentence.

"Oh Peyton you don't have to do that."

"I know Shawna but I want to. Goodnight."

"Night Peyton." I slowly shut the door as I turned around to see mom smiling. I ignored her and walked upstairs to my room and plopped down on my bed and passed out without even changing.
