Ugh. Chemistry. I mean I like chemistry as a subject but I hate the teacher and I think the feeling is mutual.
I felt my phone buzz in my jean pocket and looked down to see a text message appear on the screen.
Mum:
Hey sweetie could you get home there's something I need to tell you!"
Normally I'm shit at replies but my mum is an exception because she's the only person who scares me, so I text back "sure I'll be there in a sec x" and slide my phone back into my pocket. 

I picked up my bag and started to make my to the door.
"Um miss what do you think you think you are doing?" my teacher called out to me and i turned to her, annoyed.

"Going to see your husband, oh that's right I forgot, you don't have one."

I saw her face fall and she was about to say something but before she could open her mouth I had gone. I think I understand why she hates me now. oops?

I got to my motorbike and started it up.
It was my favourite thing to do. When I was riding, I had no time to think and everything gets swept up and all you are focusing on is the sound.

As I got up to the front door I felt sick to the stomach. The only other time she had called me out of school was the worst day of my life.

"Alix?' It was my mum's.
"Coming!" I screamed through the door.

I walked through the door to find my mum with some papers in her hand - contracts.

"Mum, wh-what are those?" I asked even though I already knew the answer.

"Please don't be mad. I just can't stay here, there are too many memories of us and-

"Dad. It's fine I understand. When are we leaving?"

"Thursday" I froze. Today was Monday, I had three days to say goodbye to everyone. I have know Kai for four years and I only had three days to say goodbye. I know it sounds like a lot but it isn't. Not when you've been through so much with that person. But I have no choice. I love my mum more than anything and when I've seen her go through so much, I can't stop her from finally being happy again.

"I heard they have amazing skateboard parks there anyway' I said trying to convince her that it was fine, but it wasn't. The house was all I had left of him. I needed to speak to someone. Kai. I pick up my phone.

I pick up my bag and head towards the door"Mum I'm going to meet Kai, is that ok?"I yelled as I was getting on my shoes

"Mum I'm going to meet Kai, is that ok?"
I yelled as I was getting on my shoes.
"Yeah sure honey just make sure you're back in time for dinner"
"Ok" I screamed as I closed the door. I was about to say goodbye to the one person apart from my mum who had been with me through everything. And it was going to be so much harder than I thought.
