Continued Flash back of Robs Pov

When I walk in my house my mom is leaning against the counter.

"We're were you" she asks impatiently, she was in her forties, tall,lean,in good shape, red hair streaked grey in a low pony tail. "I was.....at a friends..." Can't believe I just said that. "I've got news" she says tiredly. I look up from a magazine. "News?" I ask, it sounded like bad news.  "Ummm. Well I've got a new job...in a different town-" 'were moving aren't we?" I say my voice falling.  She looks up at me. "Yes" I lean back against the counter looking back down of the magazine. I think of Shay. And feel sad. At least this is a good escape...from Tracey....Shay...I can start new and fresh.

"Okay,mom...when are we moving?" I ask pulling away from her hug.

She brushes her bags out her eyes. "A couple weeks."

I give her a reassuring smile as I climb the stairs to my room.

Once I get in I lean against the wall. I'll never see my old school again, my friends, this house, Tracey or Shay.

It'll all be different.

I'll be different.

As I start packing I decide to text Shay.
Hey Shay.

Hey Robert. I'm used to Robbie by now so it was weird hearing my real name.

I'm sorry about the whole Tracey thing.

Yeah...don't worry I'm perfect😘

Huh?🤓

Well I'm dating Tracey's old boyfriend. He's so sweet and caring! I'm so love struck.

Wait That dude?

Yeah! That dude. Aren't you dating Tracey?🤔

Ummm No.

Well got a go bye! 😗

Yeah bye.

I'm so glad I'm moving. Now I start packing.
