New Girl ( Urban story )

Chapter 9

Today was moving day. All our stuff was packed up and in the U Haul truck. I stood inside the house looking around. Admiring the home I grew up in. I was about to leave this home and never come back. I was kind of sad. It was empty. It didn't even feel like my home. Alex came behind me and rubbed my back. I looked at her and faked a smile. She hugged me so tight I know she didn't want to let me go. And I hugged her back even tighter.
I felt her tears on my cheek and started crying. We both sat there and cried in eachothers arms. Is this real? Am I really moving a whole state away from my bestfriend? This can't be real. It doesn't feel real at least.
I walked outside and seen my mom and Marcus talking and laughing.
"You ready to go mama?" She asked me.
I shook my head no. And she giggled. "It's gonna be okay" she said hugging me. "Let's get going though. We got a long trip ahead if us!"
"Alright" I said after squeezing the life out of Marcus and Alex. As I was walking back to the U Haul, I heard a honk. I turned to see Trey hopping out of his car. I ran to him and jumped on him. He grabbed me tight. I thought he wasn't going to make it to say goodbye!
"I'm sorry, they wouldn't let me off work early but I sped down here!" He said in one breathe.
I laughed and looked at him. "I'm glad you made it." I replied.
"Yeah me too." He said " oh I got you something!"
I looked at him shocked. He ran to his car and pulled out a framed picture of us. "Don't for get me Jalissa!" He said.
I laughed, "impossible" I said wiping my tears away.
"Text me when you get there!" He said
"I will I promise!" I said as we locked pinkies.
We hugged one last time. "Bye trey" I sAid in between tears.
"Don't cry, you'll see me again! I promise girl..." He said. And kissed me. I smiled and hugged him again before walking off.
My mom smirked at me and slapped my butt when I passed her. I laughed. She waved bye to everybody. And we drove off. I was sad to go but hey who knows what LA holds for me?
I looked down as my phone buzzed from me getting a text.

Trey: be safe. And have a nice life out there. This move should bring good to you. Don't cry no more mamas. You'll be cool. Text me if you need anything.

I was glad where I stood with Trey. Just friends. We liked eachother but with us living in different states how would that work? He talked about moving in with his mom after he was done with school out I'm Arizona. That'd be nice to have him close to home.
As for Erik, I hadn't talked to him and didn't plan to. I was done with that chapter in my life. My first love. Completely thrown away. As much as i think I'll never get over him..I thought we would last forever too. So I'm working on letting my emotions go. Everyday I grow farther from him and let him go more. I guess he's with Tasha now? I don't know...not my business. He chose his pick. I can't dwell on him, I gotta move on. I hate him for hurting me so bad. But I also wish him and Tasha the best!

I smiled and turned up my earphones. I guess this is to starting a new beginning?




We pulled up to the new house and It was BEAUTIFUL! It was in some city called La'Dera Heights. The houses over here with a nice size. It was up In hills. It was nice. LA was nice and busy. Different from where I was living. It's quiet over there and peaceful. Over here it's busy and it's filled with people. It's crowded. It's nice, I like it. There's a lot of black people over this way. And a lot of cute boys. School was starting in a week or two so I had to start getting prepared right away.
When we stepped inside the house it was even bigger! There was nice new shiny wood floors. The kitchen was big and had marble counter tops and it had an island. The living room was nice and had a glass door that led to the backyard. We had a huge back yard with a basketball court, a pool, and a lot of grass.
Upstairs there were 5 rooms and 3 bathrooms. It was so big a roomy I loved it! I instantly fell in love with the house. My mom didint bring a lot of our furniture because she said she wanted to "start over" we were gonna dec this house the hell out.
We went to some ikea an bought us beds to start off with. We took them home set them up and fell asleep. We were so tired.
The next day we went back and ordered a whole bunch of furniture that was going to be delivered tomorrow. We unpacked all that we bought and set it up, there were clothes and shoes everywhere. We finished separating and organizing around 12AM and knocked out.
Within the next few days we got settled into our new home. We weren't quite finished fixing It all up but we got to the basics.
I was texting Trey, Alex, and Marcus all throughout the days. Sending them pictures and telling them all about LA & what it was like.
Me and Trey fell asleep on the phone together every night.
The next morning I woke up to my mom cleaning our house. It was coming along really nice. It was starting to feel homey. We still had so much to do though. We had to go buy groceries, check me into school, take me school shopping, and a few other things. We did it all one by one. I was enjoying LA. Whenever we were in the car or we went somewhere I would people watch. People would just stare at me and my mom. It's like they knew we didn't belong? I shrugged It off.
Today we were going to some mall. Its called Fox Hills. Me and my mom were excited about exploring the new malls out here. When we walked in I immediately noticed all the cute boys. I was in heaven! The girls just stared at me. The boys did too but most of the girls had a mean mug to their look. I ignored it. I never fed into that shit cause it never fazed me.
Me and my mom shopped till we dropped! We had a blast. I loved this mall. Then we went to target and bought some stuff we needed around the house and I bought a new bathing suit. And I bought a new bag for school. I was kind of excited for school.
