I went back upstairs to get a gaterade when I heard my mom yell,
    "Kids come here!"
I said,
    "One of them is right here, you don't have to yell."
I laughed and ran to my mom to give her a hug. She was finally home, and I had missed her so much. She said,
    "Well the other two are hard of hearing sometimes so I have to yell."
We laughed, and twins showed up from down the stairs. They walked over, and hugged mom. They then went over and sat at the island. My mom said,
    "I'm happy to see you guys! Your dad is still in New Orleans, he'll be home in about two weeks. I had to come home early and pack again."
Ethan and Grayson had confused looks on their face. I said,
"What do you mean 'pack again?'"
My mom said,
"Well, that's the other reason I came home early...we're moving."
We all three said in unison,
"MOVING?!?!"
My mom said,
    "Gosh, by the way you all three say things at the same time, you'd think you are all triplets instead of E and Gray being twins."
Grayson said,
    "Mom, this is no time for jokes!"
Ethan said,
    "Where are we moving to?"
My mom said,
    "We are moving to the countryside."
I said,
   "Wait, that means I have to move schools."
My mom nodded and I said,
    "Mom, why are moving at all?"
My mom said,
    "Your father is closer to his work if we move out where we are." I sighed. I knew there was nothing I could do about this. Ethan said,
"I don't get why we are moving in the first place. We love it here. We've been here since Gray and I were 11."
My mom said,
"Your dad got transferred to the building in Dover. Which, as you know, is about 20 minutes from here."
Grayson sighed. My mom said,
"Come on kids, it won't be near as bad as you think. Now go head upstairs and pack."
We stayed where we were and nodded our heads. We then looked up, stared at mom and sighed. My mom said,
"Chop, chop, we don't have all day."
I walked upstairs and started putting stuff in a box. While I was, I heard someone say,
    "So, you gonna be ok?"
I turn around and see Ethan and Grayson staring at me. I said,
    "Yeah, this isn't the first time that I've moved before."
Grayson said,
    "Yeah, well it's the first time that you've moved and you're old enough to understand it."
I said,
    "I'll be fine. New house, new school, its scary, but I'll be fine. What about you guys? I mean you're moving to a new house to."
They both came and sat on my bed. Ethan said,
    "Yeah but we've moved before and understand. Plus we also live in another state so it's really not that big of a deal."
I nodded and Ethan looked down then lifted his head up. I said,
    "I know. I'm really gonna miss you guys. You make the house exciting. Even if you are most aggravating people on the earth, I do miss you guys when you aren't here, and now I'm gonna miss this house because we won't be here."
Grayson said,
    "Aw, you love us. I'm kidding we miss you to when we're not here. And hey you are annoying to so!"
I said,
    "True true. Is fun. I know why you guys do it now."
We laughed and I continued packing.
They got up and left. I'd been in this house since I was 8. I didn't remember anything else that much before I moved here. Now we had to leave. Start a new life and everything. Well here's to new beginnings. The next morning we packed the car up and made our way to the new house. We lived far out, well farther out than I was used to. Grayson and Ethan were helping more than I was when it came to putting stuff in the house, plus they were also coming up with video ideas...what fun. Tuesday's video had just been uploaded last night and I wanted to check the comments and see what everyone thought. Here goes nothing.
