"Kids, you ready?" Your mum shouted from downstairs, it was a gloomy saturday morning and the moving truck had just arrived at your door. As did some other cars with at least one or two family members inside, to collect the more valuable items to your new home."just a sec" you shouted back whilst taking one last look at your bedroom." Gonna miss it?" A voice from behind you said. Turning around and realising you older sister Rachael stood in the door way, you gave a light smile. "Yeah i guess just so many memories, you know?"
"Yeah so many but life goes on, like nothing can acctually last forever" She said looking in deep thought.
"Yup." You both then shared a moment of silence remembering all the good times you had, you already missed the house and hadn't even left yet. A smile creeped upon your face, but instantly fell the moment you remembered all the bad things that had previously happened and realised that leaving Croydon as a whole would make a difference... a big difference.
The silence was disrupted when you heard loud footsteps echo from the stairscase, and a familiar face poped in. "Mum and dad are waiting for you lot" said your 14 year old younger brother Ryan.
"Kay, tell them we'll be down in a minute" Rachael answered. With a nod, Ryan left the room and strolled down the stairs. "guess its time"
"Yup" you nodded she then skipped to you effortlessly and linked arms with you and a fake, big smile plastered on her face. "lets go lil sis" you chuckled at her sarcastic enthusiasum. You both then went down the stairs to outside where your dad's car was parked. "What took you guys so long? Could've made it all the way there and back, by the time you lot had come down." Your dad said as he laughed hard at his own terrible joke.
Eventualy, eveyone had their seatbelt in and the car was started up, you decided to take a nap whilst listening to some Trey Songz, it was about to be a long drive.
Goodnight Croydon, goodmorning Enfield.

Two hours later-
It was getting closer to twelve o'clock and you were still on the way to your new home, by now your phone had run out of battery, so you decided to just sit and relax. You rested your head against the car window as you watched people go past.
A gloomy morning, had just turned into a sunny afternoon, so there were quite alot of people out and about. You were in deep thought as you gazed at the sunlight. Thousands of questions raced through your mind, 'Am I gonna miss Croydon?' 'Would life be harder?'
'What's the neighbourhood gonna be like?' 'What types of friends will I have? Will I even have any?'
You thought. Tuns of questions continued to hover over your mind which started to make you feel anxious. Your heartbeat got louder and your palms started to sweat. You took a deep breathe then tried to calm yourself down, and it was working until...
BANG! was the sound the car made as it jerked forward and bashed against the street bins. BOOM! was the sound of your heart punching your chest again. The fear was so strong, you could taste it. "MICHAEL" your mum screamed. "JESUS CHRISTT, IM SORRY GUYS." Your dad apologized, in complete shock. Ryan and Rachael frantically woke in a startle, completely unaware of what had just happened. You just sat there.Frozen.
