Age Cant Defy Love

Melody pov

"Im almost 20 mom, I'm turning 20 in a month! I don't have to move with you!" I fought as my mom stood in front of me "Melody its for your own good okay, we cant stay here anymore" she said sweetly, the only reason she's acting sweet is because theres a cop standing beside her. "He's in jail right" i looked towards the officer, he nodded his head. "See! I'll be fine!" I stood up "i encourage you to move, he only got two months." The officer said.

I guess i should explain this situation. My ex boyfriend, he has anger issues, and he flipped one day. Now he's in jail for abusing me. Your probably thinking 'why didn't you just break up with him' heres the thing. I tried, many times. But each time he would threaten me or someone i cared about.. Im happy that son of a bitch is behind bars.

"Mom. I'll be fine" i sighed "i hate to be the bad guy, but your apartment is already up for sale. We're leaving on tuesday" She stated and walked off leaving me in her living room with the officer. "Its for your safety Melody" the officer sighed and left the house. I shook my head and walked into the kitchen to find my mom. "Where are we moving?" I asked calmly when i found her unloading the dish washer "Vancouver British Columbia" she stated and continued what she was doing "Canada" i said shocked "thats like... A... Very long drive" i said "its going to probably take 3 days if we stop to sleep" she said "why are you acting so chill about this! This is a big move! We're leaving family and friends behind" i said "Do you honestly think i want to leave! I grew up here, we're leaving for safety. You heard what Tommy's doctor said, he's mentally unstable and he will probably come after you again! We need to get as far away from here as possible" she looked back at me, worry filled her eyes. "I'll go pack" i mumbled and then left her house and walked to my apartment. I don't have a car anymore, some jackass decided to back into it in a parking lot and i don't have enough money to repair it or get a new one.

Once i got home i grabbed my suitcases and the few boxes i had from when i moved into this house seven months ago and started to pack. Half an hour into packing my phone started to ring

"Hello" i answered

"Melody, i forgot to tell you, i found a job for you when we get to Canada" my mom said

"How?" I asked

"My new boss's friend owns a bar and one of the waitresses just quit, i told him you'd take the job" she said and i heard her opening drawers in the background

"Okay. Well thanks"

"Welcome, i better get back to packing" she sighed

"Same here"

"Bye"

"Bye" i said then hung up.

"Sorry we're running behind guys, one of the waitresses quit" Ty sighed as he brought over our beers "its all good" Ian said "everything should be back to normal at the end of next week after we train a new waitress thats coming to work here" Ty said "you already have a new waitress?" Matt said surprised "yeah my buddy Rick hired a new worker and her daughter needs a job so i hired her, she'll be starting in the next week or so" he explained "oh cool" Josh said "yeah, I'm pretty lucky she needed a job or id be screwed. I better go get back to work though, enjoy the drinks" he gave a slight chuckle and left. "Wow a new waitress" i thought "just when Maggie was getting use to us" Josh chuckled
