I stared out of the window of our car. I saw lots of homes, they all were stuffed with Christmas decorations. I peered inside windows curiously and saw their nice warm homes, they had their fireplaces flickering and the sofas that had piles of cushions on them, I felt so upset because my own cosy home was now a dark damp place and soon I would be living inside some mansion with another family! Mansions are always big, damp, dark, old, scary places where ghosts hang out... probably... anyway I'm not going to like our new "home".

"We're alwost thewe luwk eweywun, i cawn swee nawwnie and gwandpa's houwse!" Screamed Luke excitedly. In case you didn't already know, he said We're almost there everyone look, I can see Nannie and grandpa's house!.

Cherry turned and strained her neck over Luke to see Nannie and grandpa's house. She let out a little sigh.

"Look darlings, I know it all seams so sudden but I'm sure Nannie and grandpa will love having you over for the night, Just while me and your father put all the furniture inside our new mansion." Said mum and she smiled slightly.

My eyebrow rose "Our mansion? seriously? theres another family there, They are probably all retar..." I stopped, My mum was looking into my eyes, Her dark brown eyes flickered slightly. I saw tears fill in her eyes.

"..Sweetie, this is the best decision...Our home is too small, I know your frightened but honey, It will be okay!" She said, her voice sounded husky. I felt the cars come to a stop outside Nannie and Grandpa's house.

"Scared?! ... Scared!!! How old do you think I am? The only one who's scared around here is YOU!" I screamed, I grabbed my bags and flung open the door, I stomped out and slammed the door shut tightly. I heard another door behind me open but I didn't turn back.

I ripped open the door to the house, warm tears poured down my face, My Nannie was there she came over smiling.

Hey honey-bee..." She paused and saw my face "Whatever is the matter Darling? Tell Nannie," She said in a soothing way.

"I'll tell you what the blooming matter is... Moving homes... do I look like I wanna move homes to you? DO I? DO I? because no I DON'T!" I Shrieked. My grandpa came rushing in at the racket, his face was alarmed, He had obviously never seen me act this way before... Actually even I don't think I've seen me act this way either. 

"Jade!" He said shakily. I didn't bother saying anything. I just flung down the heavy bags and stomped upstairs to the biggest guest room I flung myself onto the bed crying, I was ashamed of the way I acted to my Nannie and Grandpa, they hadn't even done anything wrong, But I was too upset and cross about moving to bother apologizing. I just went straight to sleep.
