The Life I Left Behind

Chap. 2- Excuses, Excuses

RECAP~~~~~

I finally look back at my parents and my mother continued. “We are moving!” she said jumping up from her seat.

I was too shocked to speak. But that was the wrong thing to do because she kept talking.

“To England!” she concluded.

This time my mind went insane. What!? How could they do this to me? I have a perfect life here! How?!

This time my friends were the first to speak.

Julie and Ellie ran into the kitchen. “What?!” they both screamed together.

All three of us were speechless. Who knew my life could be thrown away in this one moment.

I had to find some way to not move away, just some reason to stay.

“We’re moving…to England” my mind echoed over and over again.

“To England”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"But mom we can't move! I love my life here. I love my shcool, my friends, EVERYTHING!" I stood standing in the kitchen with my parents and my brother. My friends had to leave and my brother came down stairs, hearing all the commotion.

"I usually never agree with my sister but come on guys, I am never gonna have friends in high school if I left now!" My brother Dylan cut in.

"Mom, Dad, we can't move." Suddenly I had an idea! "Hey mom can we just stay with our aunt!? she lives close to my shcool, I could jsut walk and Dylan would hitch a ride wiht someone. It will be perfect! She can keep us until you get back."

My parents exchanged glances and my dad finally spoke up. "Hon, even though that is a good idea, your aunt isn't" he paused searching for the right word. "Let's just say that your aunt isn't avaible for babysitting right now." I looked at his confused but he have me his "just drop the subject" look.

This was so unfair. "But dad-" "Annabeth," my mother cut in. "I know this will be hard but there isn't anything your father can do to turn down this great offer. This is a great opportunity to allow his business to grow and moving to England is really the only option. I am sorry that hurts your social life here but I promise we will be back."

I gave her a pleading look and  then turned away. "I am going to my room to pack up alll my great memories and happiness into a giant box! Where do you guys want that? Probably in the middle of the ocean were i could never find it again."

 "Annabeth," my father warned.

I sighed, "when are we moving?"

"After your second quater of school ends."

"Oh even better, I get to transfer half way through the year."

My mother look at me and replied, "Oh so would you like to move tomorrow?"

"No, no, that won't be necessary. I will be up in my room, saying goodbye to my perfectly happy life." I said thorwing my hands up in the air.

My dad rolled his eyes and muttered, "Dramatic teenagers."

I chuckled and walked up the staircase into my room. I turned on my computer and saw that Julie and Ellie were online. I click their names and pressed video chat. Ellie came up right away.

"Dude what the hell just happened?" she ask me

"I don't even know. I am moving to freaking England. This is bullshit! I am so mad right now i just can't-Ugh!'

"Okay girlie, calm down. You'll give yourself a heart attack." she replied chuckling.

"Anything to get out of going to England." 

She looked down. "What wrong?" I asked.

She looked back up and shook her head. "Nothing, nothing. Suddenly, I heard another voice from her side of the video. "Elizabeth! Get the f*ck down here now!!" the voice boomed. We both jumped and I looked wided eyed at Ellie. The voice was a mans voice. It sound loud, scary, and sounded really angry.

"Um, Ellie, who was that?" I ask suddenly suspicious.

She looked around frantically and then turned back to the screen. "Oh it was, no one." She replied quickly.

"Ellie.."

"Gotta go, bye!" she said closing her laptop. I sat there for a second so confused. Who was that man who yelled at her adn why was she so scared of it. we told eachother everything, was she hiding something? My thought were interupted by Julie callling in. I acept and saw her siting their with  a smirk on her face.

"So are you moving or what?" she asked bluntly.

"wow, nice to see you to" I said a little bit taken back. She was not usually so mean.

"And yes, I don't have a choice and I am moving. What am I going to do? This sucks!"

She looked at my for a while then said, "Well just stay in England, you'll probably wanted there more than here."

"Excuse me?" I replied in shock.

She smirked then ended the chat. "Bye bye little Annabeth"

I sat there completely stund. What happened to the Julie who was so happy, flirty, and loved being wierd. I feel like I have already missed 3 years of my friends life. Did I? What had happened? I felt like they have been keeping secrets from me. Suddenly, sitting there in my room, I had a funny feeling in my gut that things were going to change after I left. This won't be the same after a leave.
