Moving Day&Sad Goodbyes

Why.

Why is all I had to a say.

Today was the day I left with my family to our new home in Maine.

Which is approximately 6 hours from California to Maine which I am not at all happy about.

Yeah I Googled it.

Anyway, that's not the point. I'm leaving my childhood home to go to a location which I knew nothing about.

This means that I'm leaving my school friends and family.

Why do my parents decide to make me move as soon as I'm satisfied with my life here?

'Thats life honey' they said

'You'll make new friends' they said

They don't understand how stressed I am about this, and saying 'that's life' it just infuriates me.

Also they know I can't live without my best friend, I have known her all my life and they won't even consider my feelings about this move.

I know the chances are that I'm acting like a 'selfish brat' but I'd like to see them in my position if they were my age.

"Emilia come upstairs and pack the rest of your clothes, we are leaving today!", my mom shouts from the top of the stairs, while reminding me for the 20th time this week.

I pull myself off the sofa while huffing loudly, trudging up the stairs.

I push open my bedroom door and see my mom zipping one of my suitcases.

"Mom do we ha-", she interrupts me.

"Yes we do. Get a move on!", she says walking out of my room pulling suitcases behind her. Laughing. Ergh.

I roll my eyes at her enthusiastic behaviour after she closes the door after her.

I decide to change out of my pyjamas and into something comfortable for the car journey.

Deciding on an oversized white jumper, black leggings, beanie and followed with my Toms.

I lay face down on my bed once I've dressed and sigh to myself.

Deciding to just get on with it I grab the first empty suitcase by my bed and start packing the rest of my stuff.

Why me?

--------

It was 3:00pm and Lily, my best friend, was standing in the middle of my empty room.

I knew she was close to crying.

I stand up and embrace her in a tight hug, my eyes filling with water. That's when we both ball our eyes out.

"I'm gonna miss you so much, you better remember to call me every single day or I'll cut your legs off"

I laugh into her shoulder and hold her tighter.

"I promise" ,whispering into her shoulder.

10 minutes later we are wiping our eyes and noses, while laughing at ourselves.

"What are you two blubbering idiots crying for, you sound like dying whales", my annoying brother bursts through the door,which makes me throw a pillow at him.

"Fuck you Joey!, just because I have real friends and you don't", replying to him while sniffing into my sleeve.

He flips me off and then rudely slams my door behind him, which makes me cringe from the deafening sound.
