Freshman Year

It was the middle of Freshman year, and I was moving. I was excited for the move but at the same time I was scared. I am the kind of person that isnt very good at making friends. That is one of the many things that I suck at. While I was packing up my clothes, my phone vibrated. It was my boyfriend Chad. The text said, We need to talk. Meet me at Time Square Park.

After, reading the text i ran downstairs and told my mom I would be back. While driving to the park I couldn't stop worrying about what he needed to talk to me about. What could be so important that he needed to talk to me in person? I saw him waiting on a bench by a street light. I stopped my car, and got out.

"Hey." I said. "Hi." He answered. "What did you need to talk about?" I asked him. "Um.. This is really hard to say.. You know I love you. But with you moving to another state.." "Woah woah woah... You said we could make this work." I said cutting him off. "I know, but long distance relationships are hard." He said back. "But...I-Is there someone else? Because if there is don't tell me you love me. Just be honest." I said with tears filling up my eyes. "N-No, I just I can't do it..." Then he got a text and looked at his phone. I saw it was the name Kaylee. "I've got to go, my mom wants me home." He said and walked away. So just like that he was lying to my face I couln't believe it. After eveything we had been through, he treated me like this. I sat down on the bench for what I thought was a couple minutes just drifting off into thinking.

Then, I felt my phone. My mom texted me, You need to come home and finish packing. We are leaving the house tomorrow night. So hurry home. Love you.. I put my phone in my lap and sat there for a couple more minutes, then finally got up and got into my car, and drove away. When I got home I slammed the door behind me. "Kassie!" My mom called, "What's wrong?" I ignored her and ran upstairs to my room, shut the door and locked it. I through off my shoes and slipped into bed. Burrying my face in the pillow, I cried for what seemed like forever. I cried..And cried...Until I fell asleep.

When I woke up I looked at my pink dolphin alarm clock it said, 9:32a.m. I got out of bed and finished packing. Then I ran downstairs to see what was for breakfast. "Kassie what happened last night?" My mom said to me as i sat down at the table. "Nothing. I don't want to talk about it." There was a long moment of silence with my brother not saying anything, my mom not saying anything, and me not saying anything. Just silence. It was too quiet so I grabbed my toast and went to my room. I wasn't allowed to eat in my room, but my mom didn't try stopping me.

Later, I went back downstairs. "Mom can I have a Sweet Sixteen Birhtday Party?" I asked her. "We will see." She answered. "No, I need an answer now. So I can start invintations. My birthday is in 5 days." I said determined to get her to say yes. "I guess. Who do you plan on inviting?" She asked me. "Who ever I want.. It is MY birthday party." I ran upstairs and into the bathrom to do my makeup. When I was finished, I got dressed. "Kassie!" My mom called to me. "What?!" I yelled back. "We are leaving in 20 minutes!! Are you all packed?" Tired of the yelling I walked out of my room to the top of the stairs seeing my mom at the bottom. "Yes." I said. "Okay be ready." I went back to my room and got all my boxes together and took them downstairs. "Put them in the U-Haul" She said. I walked outside and saw Chad. He was with a girl. I was guessing she was Kaylee. He saw that I was looking at him and told the girl something. And they went inside the girl's house.

I walked to the U-Haul and saw all of our furniture in it. I didn't realize until now how empty our house was now.. I put the boxes in, and went inside to get more boxes. After all the packing and loading was done. We said goodbye to the house, and my mom locked the door. Closing the door, of my whole life. I felt my eyes filling up with tears but I wiped them away with my sweater so my mom wouldn't notice. We all piled into the front of the U-Haul. I looked out the window, watching as we drove away. I got the last glimpse of the house that I lived in for my entire life. And then it was gone.
