   The next days were not just difficult and different from what we had get used to live but we nearly spoke each other when we where in the house with my mom together.I usually went for a walk as for me to not seeing the situation our "family" was right now.
   I was saying my mom I was going at Max's but I just didn't want to see that guy again I was disgusted from his behavior, always being the best and all of that stuff, he really didn't have the face to come at my dad's funeral and he was like my "best friend".
   Sometimes I was seeing mom at the kitchen table drinking vodka, wine and whiskey. I arrived home and sometimes I even saw her drank. I had to do something to help my mom's and my life from being "possessed" from my dad's memory.
   One day as I walked to home from school there was those two jerks, Daniel and Jacob Haster, two boys from the second grade f high school, that meens one year older than me. They followed me and then they stoped me at the pavement and start talk to me and say things like " oh poor boy what have happened to you" and things like "are sure your dad really died from an accident cause we saw them taking drugs at the next corner like a beaf" and laugh. What I did that time? I punched them, kick them and then we fight. My dad was like my pattern and I would and will never  stand anything like this about him. A neighbor called the police that night and now I was in self-confidence for  defending my dad's memory.
   My mom came to take me from the police station and she was very upset and started yell at me. I told her what happened and then she got out of the road and stopped the car with nerve.
   "Dash we need to forget this thing don't you understand it? What's next now you will be found pounced at the face full of blood at the corner and the neighbor will bring you. To me like a piece of meat?!" She told me with a lot of nerve and then I turned berserk.
   " Really mom? You are the one that talks and complains? From the time dad died you have turned to an other person I have found you drunk a thousand times at home and now you are the one that complains? You told me that I would never be alone and that you will be with me! And look at me I AM ALONE NOW!" My mom put her hand at my neck " Oh Dash...I am so sorry..." she told me but I couldn't think that time I was full  of nerve I took her hand and throw it back at her with nerve again.
    " My life is ruined from my dad's death and I thought we will be together but you chose the alcohol from me mom...I'm gong home by foot..." I told her and I came out of the car.
   My home was like twenty minutes away and for me it took like an hour to arrive. When I opened the door I saw the same picture I was seeing every day: my mom drinking.
  " Dash I need to talk to you please..."she said to me as she saw me and stand up from the kitchen table. I looked at her and then I walked to my room.
   " I cant talk now...later." I told her and I sat the door behind me. I felt on my bed...and start crying at my pillow, strange for me hah?
  I slept over day and I woke up at 11 pm I unlocked the door and went to the living room, my mom wasn't there, I looked left at the kitchen, my mom wasn't there so I went to her bedroom and I saw her sleeping. Two rears then started to have a race on my right cheek and when I cleaned it out I came to rest with my mom.
  " Dash..." she told me sleepily. I hugged her and we slept over night.
   Next day I woke up without mom sleeping next to me, I stand up and went to the kitchen.
" Mom..." I said while I was rubbing my eye.
   I went to the kitchen and mom was cooking and the table was full of food, orange juice, bread, honey, milk, eggs and bacon.
  " Good morning honey..." she told me and she gave me a kiss at the forehead while she was holding her spatula. "...like the surprise?" She told me again with a big smile on her face.
  " Yeah..." I told her with amazed.
   We started eating and then I started talking.
   " Mom about last night..." but I couldn't finish my sentence.
  " Just forget it Dash... you were right about all of this now eat!"  She told me and then I laughed.
   I didn't saw my mom drinking for a month then but we still needed a change in our life so I thought something.
I went to my mom that day and start taking about my idea. I was watching Tv and she was on her tablet.
   " Mom..." I started.
   " Yes Dash what is it?" She answers me and this time she turned her tablet of and she put it on the coffee table in front of her.
   " You know beneath all that I still think we need a change from all of this..." I told her and then she looked at me with a strange look.
   " And...did you have any... did you have any idea dash...?" She answered.
   " Well actually mom..I had." And then I started again.
   " With the money dad had in his bank account we can buy a house and move somewhere else from this town." I really liked my idea and I think that this is the best change will would have. My mum didn't turned it down too but she needed to think about it of course.
   The next day I arrived home from school and mom said me to order a pizza or whatever I wanted to because she wanted us to celebrate about something. So I did. I ordered a pepperoni pizza and when it came we, me and my mom, sat on the sofa and I took a slide of pizza in my hands. My mom didn't took one and I asked her why then with a big smile she started talking.
" Well Dash... do you remember the idea of yours?"when I heard those words coming out of my moms mouth I fastly placed the pizza back in its box.
" Yeah mom why?" I answered but I didn't want to seem very amused.
" Okey so I thought about it and it is a great idea... we will find a house and we will move in." I thought wow I was in a great mood and now it was even better. I hugged my mom but then I asked her a question.
" But mom where are we going to go?" I hadn't think of that but that time I just didn't care, whenever but here I was like.
" this is the best part Dash... we will buy a house at Los Angeles and we will live there." When I heard this I was amazed. My child dream was to live in L.A and now my dream
Would come true! Of course I would like dad would be there.
" We will take the money from dad'a bank account and we will sell dad's car too and we will have enough money to buy a small house at L.A." I didn't care, big house, a mansion, small house all I wanted was me and my mom happy and if we went to L.A we would be something more than that, that's what I thought that time but I was wrong.
We passed the next week searching for a house at Los Angeles and we found one at Glendale for like 450.000$ and we bought it the next day.
One week later we were on our way from Fayetteville, North Carolina to Glendale, Los Angeles and that time I was the happiest person in the xworld.
School started in a week and I was a 16 year-old boy new in a town and with an amusement of going to a new school for the first time in my life.
