How do you handle moving? I have moved before but never this fare away... My names is Maddie, and I'm 16 years old... I have always lived in Texas, but that's gonna change now.

My dad cheated on my mom, so she found a new husband and tried making my dad jealous. It went really well with me, my stepdad and my new sister but after about a month or so they started being mean to me. I tried telling my mom but she wouldn't listen, so I called my dad and told him all about what happened, and he came and picked me up.

My dad cried a lot in the evenings, he even sometimes would cry himself to sleep. He never fully got over the divorce between him and my mom. I don't think i would either but after about a year my dad and his girlfriend broke up. I kinda got a little sad cause i really liked her, but I am happy if he is happy. My dad and I moved into a little apartment downtown in Houston. Because we moved that much my dad decided that it would be the best for me to go to online school. I also thought it was a good idea in the beginning, but then it began to suck. I didn't make any friends, because they went to public schools or private schools and i went to a online school.

We lived together alone for about two years and I was actually happy about that. But now my dad got a new girlfriend ((Yes I think it's weird too, he has had more girlfriends in the past 3 years than I have had in my entire life)) The only problem is that she lives in LA.
She has a son my age, I haven't met him yet but from what my dad told me he seems nice. He can't live without video games and pretty much never leaves the house.

But now i'm here on the plane, that just landed in LA. I know nobody and I already hate it here. My dad and I got up and headed for the exit of the plane. Me and my dad is now finding our luggage. I hear someone yelling and I turn around to see my dads girlfriend Emily and she yelling:

"David!" and she is running over here and hugs my dad.

"It's nice to see you both. Samuel couldn't come, he's at home playing video games. But I'll promise you Maddie, he will show you around town." she says and smiles friendly to me. I smile back, and give her a quick hug.

"Let's go find the car." she says and we leave the airport.

Emily opens the door while dad is holding the luggage. Actually we live in a pretty big apartment. Dad put down the luggage while Emily are showing me my new room.

"You've got the biggest bedroom in the apartment." she smiles at me and I respond:

"Oh thanks, that's really nice of you."

I step in the room and something caught my eye, it is a queen size bed. There is three doors in the room, one that leads to the hallway that we just came from, one that leads to a bathroom, and the last one is a walk in closet. I am so happy and thankful for the room. It reminds me of the room I had while my mom and dad still lived together. This one is just a bit smaller. Emily goes out of the room and I go over to the windowsill. I look out of the window and see LA's beautiful nature.

My dad walks in and looks around the room, his jaw dropped.
"This room is huge." he says.
"Yeah I'm so thankful for it, I need to thank Emily for it later."

After our little conversation dad comes in with my bags and tells me to unpack. I nod and open the first bag cause i have three and I think to myself that I better get going. I take my clothes out of my bag and start filling up my walk in closet. When all the clothes are in the closet and on the hangers I realize that the closet is way to big for all my clothes.

I walk downstairs to see if my dad and Emily are down there. But it is only Emily standing there making dinner.
