the boy in apartment 127

1. leaving

Bella

"mom, do we really have to move to Morgan Heights?"

"yes, Bella, for the last time we are moving and you cannot change that! now start getting your boxes and put them in the truck."

today was the day. i was moving away from my closest friends here in Crenshaw to move to some place i had no idea about.

my mom told me about 3 weeks ago that we were moving. she didn't say where at the time because she wanted it to be a surprise and well.. that didn't work out as planned. i begged her to tell me and she had finally had enough of my shit and told me.

i didn't want to leave. my best friends were here and so was my boyfriend jake. i mean, who would want to leave their friends that they've known since they were in kindergarten and their boyfriend of almost 2 years to go to a place where they didn't know anybody?

it was torture to me but my mom thought it would be good for the family. she said that we needed to get away from the little town we lived in and go to a bigger city. not to my liking considering i don't really like people.

i was finishing packing when i heard my phone ring from my now bare bed.

"hello?" i said into the phone.

"oh my gosh bella i cannot believe you're leaving. i'm currently crying thinking about it. you have to promise me you'll come drive to see me every week if possible. gosh i'm gonna miss you!!"

"jess calm down. its not that far away and i'll try my hardest to come see you. now i'm really sorry but i have to go. we're fixing to get into the truck to leave. bye jess."

jess was my best friend. we met when she moved to Crenshaw in first grade. we had hit it off right from the start because she was a very nice person and she animal crackers and shared them with me.

while my mom, dad, and little brother Alfie piled into the truck they would be riding in to Crenshaw, i got into my car, a 2014 chevy camaro, and waited for them to leave so i could follow behind.

a few minutes later we were on the road to Morgan Heights where i would know not one person and would not know where on the earth i was.
