   Sometimes life goes on the way you want it, but the rest of the time lifes a bitch. I always wondered how my life would have turned out if I had stayed with my dad. If I hadn't felt sorry for my mother who seemed so lost and all alone. If only I had stayed; then maybe my life would be kinda normal.

"Sweetheart, its time to leave."

   That's Rick, my dad. My mom died a few weeks ago so now I get to move back with him after nine years. It's going to be a new experience for me, to live in one place for longer than six months. My mom never stayed in one place very long so I switched schools alot. She had a fear that social services would take me away or send me back to live with my father. Did I mention that my mom was a drug addict?

  She started using a few months after the divorce. She got a drug dealer boyfriend, Trey, a few weeks after that. Which brings me to the next reason we moved so much. Trey was always in trouble with the cops and could never stay anywhere too long without being caught. He left two days after my mom died. Some boyfriend he was; didn't even stay for the furneral. But I'm secretly happy he's gone. When I think about what he is and all the things he's done it just makes me sick.

"Sweetheart, did you hear me? I said it's time to go."

"I'm coming dad." I replied.

      Sometimes I get so lost in my thoughts that I lose track of the time and my surroundings. I grabbed my backpack and followed my dad down the stairs as he carried my suitcases. Once in the car, I took out my ipod and settled in for the long ride to California.
