chapter 1

"What are you doing just sitting around? I can unload all these boxes my self, half of them aren't even mine." My mother spits at me walking into my room.

I am currently moving into a new house on the south side of Chicago and it's honestly awful, the street we live on reeks of weed and cat piss. We go from living in a amazing home in new Jersey to living in this shit hole.

"Hey, Alyssa get up, I really need your help, I can't do this alone, some of this shit is heavy." My mom said walking back in my room.

"Dear God, mother, I am coming if you would give me a god damn second to catch my breath." I spit back obviously irritated by my mothers orders.

"Don't talk to me like that, we have to get alone now, your father is gone and it's just you and me."

"I know, I'm sorry, I just, mom I'm honestly so exhausted."

"Look you think it's bad for you? Did you just go through a divorce? And than get kicked out of your house? And I probably won't even be able to provide for you. Im a shit mother and have no god damn idea what I'm doing." She said chocking back so tears.

"Look mom I can get a job, on our way in I saw a dinner that was hiring maybe I'll see about getting a job there." I walk over to my mother and take her hand in mine smoothly running my finger on her palm, "it will be okay, I promise."

"Alyssa, you're still in school I don't want you to get all stressed I will try my best to provide for us, but if I need you to help out than I will for sure tell you." She said smiling at me and taking me into her warm hug.

"Now, let's go unload these boxes we can only keep the uhaul for a couple more hours." She said releasing me and leaving my room.

I walk down the stairs following behind my mother and take a long good look around once we reached outside of the door. Mine as well make the best of it I have a feeling we will be here for a long time.

My mother has just walked inside taking a box full of the kitchen stuff, I right now am really struggling to get my TV out of the uhaul. It's honestly like really heavy, it's kinda a flat screen only a bit thicker than a real flat screen.

"Need some help?" A unfamiliar husky voice said from behind me.

"Oh, no! It's alright don't worry about it, but thank you!" I say not even turning around that match a face I this unfamiliar voice.

I was finally able to grab the TV and get a decent grip on it, I just have no idea how I'm going to get it all the way up my strait without breaking the TV or breaking myself by falling down the stairs.

I start to walk off the uhaul and I see a boy, sitting there, watch me. "How long have you been there?" I ask wonder if he saw me curse and get really pissed because I couldn't pick up the TV.

"Long enough to have taken a long good look at you body." He said winking at me, "and i must say not to bad...." He was kinda pausing as if he was asking me name. What a fuck boy.

"Alyssa." I say, by the time I say that I am losing my grip on the TV and it just about falls until this boy helps me and grabs the bottom of it.

"Here, let me have it, I can help." He said trying to take it from me.

"No its fine I got it." I try to get my grip back before it falls totally out of my hands.

"Just let me help." He said again pulling on the TV.

"No! Honestly I got it! Jesus I could have already had this ins-" I get cut off by my mother walking out side.

"What do you want for- oh, hi, who is this?" I look over at her and she is looking at this boy, I never had a chance to get a full look at him.

"Hey, my name is Carl Gallagher I live next door, I saw Alyssa struggling so I was offering my hand. Well, if that's alright." He said looking at me with this cute cheesy grin.

This guy is honestly mad attractive, but, I'm not stupid so there is no way in hell I'm going to fall for him, not after what happened the last time.

My thought get interrupted by this boy well by Carl taking the TV from my hands.

"Show me your room?" He says and has that stupid grin plastered on his face.

"Sure." I fake a smile and jump down from the truck.

I start walking inside and I go right up the stairs until I hear a sound that kinda seems like he is struggling.

"Need help?" I ask turning from the top of the stairs to look down at him.

"Nope, uh, I got it." He said than walked up 3 more stairs.

"Come on big boy only 15 more to go." I say chanting him.

"I got this." He than climbed 5 stairs.

"10 more!" I chant again. He climbs more and than finally reached the top of the stairs where I was placed.

"Which. Uh. Room." He panted.

"Its the one on the left." I say opening my door revealing my bedroom, "you can just set it on the bed." I say and point over to my bed that is made with my black beding.

"You have a really dark room, black curtains, black bed sheets." He said sitting on this black benbag I had in the corner.

"Well just wait until I pull my tapestry and Christmas lights out." I say looking through my boxes searching for the lights and tapestry. I come to a small box with little pictures taken from a Polaroid camera.

I look blankly at them rembering ever occasion of the pictures.

I take the book and set it on my bed. I dig through more of the tall box and find one of my tapestry, it is boho and has white and gold all over it.

"It just got quite." Carl said from behind me. Shit, I forget he was here.

"Oh, well, sorry, I was looking for some stuff. Wanna see this really rad tapestry I bought a couple weeks ago?" I ask holding it up making him look at it wether he wanted to or not.

"Hm, that's pretty nice. Do you want any help putting stuff up or anything?" He asked.

"That would be great, I have some lights in here with little clamps on them to hang pictures, would you grab those?" I say pointing to the box.

I began to get on this desk chair that I had that was a roller chair.

"Hey, be careful that looks kinda dangerous."

"It's fine I've done it many times before."

"But this is a tile floor. Just be careful."

"I will I will. Oh, shit could you grab those tacks right there?" I point I my black computer desk where a little clear case of tacks are.

"Yeah, sure." He walks over and grabs them than Began to walk towards me with them.

He holds them out for me to reach but my arms are to short so I have to reach for them. The chair began to move around and I fall out of it.

"Shit, you good?" He said as I look up and see him standing over me.

"Yeah, I just hit my head, fuck, that hurt like a bitch." I sit up and put my hand over the back of my head applying pressure to relieve the pain.

He chuckled, "I told you to be careful."
