Starting Over

When Troy first found out he was moving, he was stunned. He couldn't imagine leaving everything behind. He had such good friends, & went to an amazing school. He loved his life. Now he had to start all over again. It's not like he was moving across town or to another state. He was moving to ENGLAND! How were his friends suppose to visit him? He'd never get to see them again. Yes there is social media & Skype, but it's not the same. His life was over, & he was only 13! He wished his dad could find work here. His dad was a very smart man. He wanted to own his own company, but was having trouble getting it off the ground. He did some research, & found England had a better market for his type of business. This had always been a dream of his father's, & he has worked his ass off to get to where he is. Now he just needed extra help making his dream a reality. But that reality had to come at a cost. Troy sat in his room. He knew he had to finish packing, but couldn't bring himself to do it. He couldn't believe this was happening. He just wanted to run away, but knew he wouldn't survive on the streets. Troy hadn't eaten in days. Everytime he tried, he just ended up feeling sick. His parents tried to make him feel better, but it was no use. They decided just to leave him alone. Troy like it better that way. He knew his parents meant well, it just wasn't helping the cause. He grabbed a box, & taped it together. He ripped his clothing off the hangers, and threw them into the box. He just wanted to be done packing. He packed more boxes, until he couldn't take it. He only had a couple days left, before he got on a plane. He needed more time.
