My Friend In the Closet [DISCONTINUED]

1 : Moving?

AN : This story is a little different from what I usually write, but I really wanted to try something new. I hope you enjoy~!

My Mommy got me a new toy car! I dunno know why, it's not my birthday or Christmas but she gave it to me. It's red and it goes real real fast. It's faster than all my other cars. I got it stuck behind my bed but Daddy got it out. I think he almost got stuck in the bed too but he did it!

"Ashton, dinner is ready!" His father hollered up the stairs.

"Okay, Daddy!" Ashton replied. He was currently lying on his stomach and playing with his toy cars. He tossed them onto the rug and stood. In his favorite pastel blue overalls and white and black striped shirt he rushed down the hall and hopped down the steps. His curly, chestnut locks bouncing along.

"Ashton, walk."

"Sorry, Mommy." He immediately stopped hopping and walked the rest of the steps. Ashton trotted through the living room and through the archway of the kitchen.

"Did you wash your hands?" His father asked.

"Oh!" Ashton walked over to the sink, grabbing his step stool, that's next to the fridge, along the way. The little boy didn't see his father roll his eyes and share a smile with his wife as he turned on the faucet and lathered his hands with soap. Once he was done he put the stool back and clambered onto his seat at the table. His mother put her blonde hair in a ponytail before spooning food onto his plate.

Once everyone had gotten a few bites in Ashton's father, James, spoke,"Ashton."

The boy lifted his hazel eyes from his plate,"Yeah, Daddy?"

"Me and Mommy have something to tell you."

Ashtons eyebrows scrunched up in confusion but he nodded with an,"Uh-huh."

His father explained that since his mother, Nicolette got a promotion,"We have to move to a new house."

"Move?!"

"Ashton, inside voice."

"Sorry, Mommy."

"Yes, Ashton, we have to move to a new house in a different town." Nicolette answered.

"B...But I like it here."

"I know, buddy." James sympathized with his son,"Mommy and Daddy like it too, but we're picking a new house we like and I know you'll like it too."

"But I can't go to the park."

"We can find another park near the new house." Nicolette tried to cheer him up.

"B-But I won't get to play w-w-with Kaydee and Vince no more." Ashton's eyes started to tear up and he started to hiccup.

"Oh, honey." His mother pulled him into her lap and rubbed his back,"You can still call them and tell them about the new friends you'll make."

"I don't w-want new friends." He whined and burrowed further into her shirt.

"It's okay. You don't need to make more friends if you don't want to."

Once Ashton was calmed down his parents promised him ice cream for dessert and watching Tangled before bedtime. After dinner they all gathered on the couch for the movie. Half way through Ashton started to nod off. James turned off the TV and Nicolette picked Ashton up and carried him upstairs.

With his teeth brushed and his jammies on, Ashton was tucked into bed.

His parents watched him sleep from the doorway. A fish night light and and the light from the hall illuminate a small square of his room.
