Anger filled my body when my mum told me that I'd be moving school. I couldn't be angry at my mum for long she raised me as a struggling single mother and this was her calling. Should i argue and let angst take over me? or should i accept her choices, I dont know anymore. Life is confusing. We sold the house quickly without any problems. I said goodbye to my friends and before i knew it, it was moving day. A young lad was our moving guy, he had a eye for my mum a big flirt, hated him. My mum has the worst taste in men, she wants a man whose rich and handsome, she thinks a prince is going to sweep her off her feet and carry her to his castle. At least that what she says to me when shes drunk. My mum met my dad at a bar they were so drunk in love they got married. After he heared that my mum was pregnant, he abused her and found a new woman. 

After from what seemed like a eternity of flirting and battered eyelids we left for the new house. Mum wouldnt stop talking about him, i couldnt do anything but nod and agree. As usual when we go on car rides we stop at a bargin booze and mum gets all her essentials, if im sneaky i can sneak a monster and tic tacs in. We start up again, her rambling continues till the end but now shes talking about their wedding. We finally arrived and her flirts with the delivery man continues while I'm doing his job pushing all the boxes into our home. By the time there flirts are done I've  finished all the rooms. I looked up at them waiting for their response "A thank you would be nice?" I say expecting gratitude but they scoff and carry on talking. I sigh and start unpacking. My room is smaller than the previous one my bed takes most of it. I managed to do my whole room. I'm puffed out.  So I slump into the living room, seeing that mum and Ryan had started I did the rest of the rooms except my mums she told me to leave that for  herself to do. The final room I thought, the bathroom, I looked into the mirror my ponytail flopped, cheeks blushed red and eyes drooping. I let out a big sigh and wander into the living room. No ones there but I do see shoes left at the stairs leading to my mums room. I flop onto the sofa and have a well earned nap for tomorrow I will be a new day.
