Thought Of You (A Madison Alamia love story)

Chapter 2

EDITED.

MACK BERNHARD

Those three days passed by in a blur, and it was finally time to leave the house I had lived in all my life, and the town where all my friends, memories and happiness was.

I touched the door frame where my parents marked the heights of me and my brothers for the first 8 years of all of our lives. I was always half an inch taller than Josh, and I still am, and he will never forgive me for it.

I laugh sadly as I walk over to the living room, which was missing a coffee table since Carter slammed Josh into the glass when they got into a fight over a girl last year. Nedless to say, we're a bit of a violent family.

I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that my parents wanted to leave all this behind and that, after a few hours, all my brothers were on board with the plan too. This house held all of our memories and love in it's four walls, seventeen years in the making. We couldn't nearly have anything close to that in Manapalan.

"I know it's hard sis," I turned around to see Carter walking up behind me before putting his hand on my shoulder, "but home is where the heart is. I'm positive we're gonna make some great memories in Manapalan. Are you ready?"

I looked up at my older brother, who towered over me, and nodded once, the two of us walked out of the front door, grabbing the last few boxes on the way. After I loaded the boxes in the moving truck, I took one last look at my house. I pulled out my phone and took a quick picture, so I could always remember my first home.

"I can't believe you're actually...leaving" Brittany walked to my side, her eyes red and swollen from her tears.

"I'm going to miss you so much" I cried out and embraced her in a bone crushing hug.

"We will see you soon" I pulled away and turned to see two of my cousins, Nicole and Melinda as they walked up the street to us, "yeah, we're not letting you go that easy" Melinda laughed and I hugged the both of them.

"I guess it's goodbye to the fabulous Four" Brittany said as we all put our arms around each other's shoulders.

"We never agreed on the name 'Fabulous Four', Brit" I cracked a genuine smile for the first time in days.

"And it's not goodbye, it's see you soon" Nicole stated and we all nodded in agreement.

"Well guys, see you soon" I said and we all hugged one last time.

"See you soon Mack" They all said in unison. I climbed into the backseat of the car and rolled down the window to see my three best friends standing with their hands interlocked in front of my house.

"And you better tell us if you meet the ICONic Boyz!" Melinda screamed as the car rolled down the street. I rolled back up the window and sunk into my seat, wiping away the single tear rolling down my cheek.

Goodbye Decking, Hello Manapalan.
