"good news"

Evelyn's POV

Moving to LA wasn't one of the things I expected from my dad's "good news" I hate starting new beginnings.  New friends especially. 

"Honey! I have amazing news!" My dad exclaimed, coming towards the kitchen table where I was on my phone. I look up and narrow my eyebrow signalling him to keep going. 

"Soo, me and your mother.." He began, both staring at me with a grin as they sat in front of me. I turn off my phone, placing it beside me and folded my arms.

"Are you pregnant?" I blurt out.  I quickly cover my mouth in shock.  shit evelyn, think before you speak you dumb hoe.

"No no no." My mom laughs.  I move my hand over my mouth and smile. thank the lord.

"It's even better.  So, we found a house and an amazing job for your father." my mom says.  My heart sinks.  Just thinking about leaving the neighborhood I grew up in makes me feel empty.

"W-What do you mean an amazing job? Where is this place anyways?" I say.  My parent's could see the disappointment in my eyes.  They're grins disappear and give a more serious glare.

"In LA." My dad says looking at mom, then back to me.  I stare at nothing, having my thoughts fill up the silent room.  

"But don't worry, we are going to move to a better house, a bigger one." My mom smiles trying to make things better.  I look at them and give a weak smile.  

"But, I love our house, I grew up here, I made friends here, YOU made friends here!" I say trying to prove my point. "I know, I know, you don't want to leave your friends and start something new." Dad replies and I nod.

I move a strand of my brown straightened hair behind my ear.  "When?" I ask looking at them while playing with the hem of my sweater. 

"1 month." Mom says and my eyes widen at her response. "What the hell! Why'd you wait till now to tell me?" I ask raising my voice a little.  "We weren't sure." Dad automatically responds. 

"I have a month to pack and say goodbye to everyone?" I ask while shaking my head.  "I'm sorry." Mom says which makes me feel bad.  I just nod slowly.  Wow.  

I grab my phone and get up to go to my room. I close my door and plop on my bed staring at the ceiling.  I picture me saying goodbye to all my friends and the house, which makes me tear up a little but I ignore it.  

I grab my phone and FaceTime my best friend, Hannah.

Connecting...

"BItCh" Han screams, which makes me jump a little.  I smile. 

"Hey love." I say all gloomy.

"Whats wrong?"

"Oh nothing, I'm just MOVING TO LA IN A MONTH" 

"WHAT? YOUR LEAVING ME?" 

"I'm so sorry Han, I truly am but its not my choice." 

"I'm coming over."

"Alrighty then." 

Han hangs up the call that lasted only 5 minutes. 

I get up and change into some shorts and a spaghetti strap.  I put my hair in a messy bun and lay back down on my bed waiting for her to arrive.

20 Minutes Later...

I hear my door open and see Han running up to me and hugging me really tight. I smile.  "You're leaving me" Han says and lays down next to me.  I nod silently.  "So why'd you want to come over anyways? You made it sound urgent." I ask putting my phone down and facing her.  

"Well it is urgent if you just find out your best friend is moving away." Hannah says playing with my bun.  I nod.  "I'm sorry." I repeat.  "I'm gonna miss you." Hannah says and hugs me again.  I hug tightly back.

"It's okay, we have 1 month to spend time together." I say trying to make everything better. She smiles and nods.   

We walk downstairs into the kitchen.  I grab a water bottle from the fridge and take a sip.  "Oh, Hannah, I didn't notice you came." Mom says patting her back and getting a snack.  "Yeah I came here not too long ago." Han replies munching on her BBQ chips.  

"I'm sure she knows about us leaving?" Mom says turning around specifically talking to me.  "Yeah, she does." I reply taking another sip.  "I'm not that happy about it." Hannah replies making me smile.

"I know Hannah, I'm gonna miss you too." Mom says making all of us chuckle.
