Love Is Shady (Josh Dun)

2. The Move

Nicoles' POV:

I sighed heavily as I pulled the Uhaul into the driveway of our new home . I smiled at the beautiful house and summer  scenery. To say the least, I was excited for a new beginning.

I looked over at my sleeping daughter and shook her slightly to wake her up. Marie stumbled out of her sleep and seemed happy, until she realized where we were. She has been pretty upset about the move and it makes me feel terrible.

"We should go check out your new room!" I said trying to comfort her and make it not seem too bad.

I didn't get much of a reply. Just a low grumble before she hopped out of the truck. I sighed as I did the same. We walked into our new home and were greeted by what felt like a million boxes.

I grabbed Maries hand and started running to her room. She hesitantly ran with me. When we opened her door she got a little sparkle back in her eyes. The room was gorgeous but plain.

"What color do you want to paint it?" I asked smiling at her

"I can have any color I want?!?!" She asked now more excited

I laughed and replied "yes any color you want!" As I picked her up and threw her on the bed tickling her.

She giggled until I stopped. I took her hand in mine.

"I know this has been hard on you. But I promise we're going to love it here and I'll help you adjust"

Again she didn't reply, but this time she wrapped her arms around me and laid her head in my lap.

"I love you" we both said at the same time after a few minutes of silence.

I smiled, enjoying the moment  but also wondering what are plans should be for the rest of the evening. I asked Marie if she was hungry but she wasn't just yet. We decided to go to the hardware store and pick out some paint.

After buying a bunch of different  color paint we headed home. Marie wanted to start painting right away but I told her it had to wait until the morning. As we pulled into the driveway once more I could see we had sparked some of the neighbors attention. I waved and smiled at them as we headed back into the house.

The first thing I did was find our record player and let Marie pick out what band we would christen  the house with. It did not surprise me that she chose A Day To Remember. Yeah, she's  definitely my kid.

I grabbed her hand and we danced around to "I'm Made Of Wax Larry, What Are You Made Of". Slowly but surely I could tell she was warming up to the move.

We collapsed in a laughing fit on the floor as the song ended.

"Okay little Miss, we have to unpack at least 5 boxes tonight" I said catching my breath.

Maries eyes widened and she gasped "that many?!"

I laughed and ruffled her hair "yes THAT many, but we'll do the easy work first"

True to my word we began to empty out boxes in the kitchen. We were done with 5 boxes before the record was over. Just as we finished up Marie mentioned that she was getting hungry so we sat on the couch to discuss dinner options.

Before we could agree on anything there was a knock on the door....
