chapter 1; moving day

Emma's POV

BEEP BEEP BEEP! "Ugh." I groaned as I heard my alarm go off. I checked my phone, and I realize what day it was. moving day. My brother, Jonah and I were moving to Dallas to live with our mom. Our parents divorced a little over a month ago, so Jonah and I were moving to Dallas to live with our mom.

I got out of my bed and went over to my nightstand and retrieved the clothes I picked out the night before. I grabbed my clothes, and hopped into the shower.

I got out of the shower and went over to my vanity to do my hair. I didn't care about my makeup today because I am going to be on an airplane all day. I did my hair, got dressed, brushed me teeth and headed downstairs to see what everyone was doing.

I walked downstairs to see my little sister, Svea, playing with her chickens and my other sister Esther on her phone. "Hey guys!" I said to them as I sat down next to Svea. "Where's Jonah and dad?" I asked Svea. "Well dad is at the store getting some things for you and Jonah and well I think Jonah is still asleep." She said to me.

I checked the time on my phone and saw that it was 11:20 in the morning. Jonah and I had to be at the airport by 12:15, so it didn't help that he wasn't up yet. "Svea, can you go upstairs and get Jonah up? Maybe put one of the chickens on him?" I asked her smirking. "Sure can!" She yelled ecstatically.

When Svea went to go and get Jonah, it gave me a chance to talk to Esther. "Well, I'm going to miss you guys so much!" She said to me. "Me too! I'm going to miss going to school with you everyday, and people thinking we're twins even though we're not." I said back.

The funny think about Esther and I is that we're 11 months apart, and we're in the same grade at school. People would think that we were twins, but I am 11 months older than her. We had a lot of classes together and it was funny when the teachers thought we were twins.

"I'm going to see if dad will let Svea and I go to Dallas to vis-" "SVEA WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" We heard Jonah scream from upstairs. Both Esther and I jumped up from the couch to investigate what was going on. We got up to Jonah's room and saw Svea on the floor with her chicken, laughing while Jonah was on his bed with a pissed look on his face.

"Was it you guys who sent her to do this?!" He asked us. "Well, it is almost time to go." I said back. We left Jonah's room so he could get ready, and the three of us went to my room to get my stuff. "I'm really gonna miss you Emma. Esther and I are going to visit you every week!"

"I don't know about every week, but I'm sure you can visit a lot!" I said back to her while grabbing my luggage. Esther had one of my suitcases, I had the other and Svea had my backpack. We walked down the stairs and put my suitcases and backpack into the kitchen.

"It's almost 11:45, is Jonah ready?" My dad asked me. "I think so, I'll go check." I told him as I walked toward the stairs. I approached Jonah's room and knocked on his door. "Come in." I heard his voice on the other side.

"Almost ready? Dad said he wants to go." I told him. "Yeah, can you carry my backpack downstairs for me?" He asked. "Sure." I said back. I grabbed his backpack while he grabbed his two suitcases and we were on our way downstairs.

"Alright dad I think we're ready to go." I said when I got downstairs. "Right on time! Let's go!" He said back. Esther, Svea and my dad helped Jonah and I load our things into the car, and we were off to the airport.

We got to the airport drop off spot and we all got out of the car to say our goodbyes. First, I hugged Svea. "Awe baby, I'm gonna miss you so much." I said to her. "Why would you miss me? You're gonna see me next week!" She said to me laughing.
