"You're gonna miss me by my walk you're gonna miss me by my talk oh you're gonna miss me when I'm gone!" I sing in the car to my best friend who's dropping me and my mom off at the airport. "Yeah right like I'd miss that horrible voice!" I can't help but laugh.

I'm gonna miss Carter. He's gotten me through 11 years of school. When I met him in kindergarten I had no idea what was in store. But we've been together ever since. I guess I'm disappointed nothing more came out of us except a friendship but, fate is fate! I guess if you could call 11 years of drooling over your best friend 'fate'.

"Thank you again Carter! You have no idea how much this means!" "No problem! Anything for my second mom!" I try wiping around tears and putting a smile on like the two goofs in front of me. Carter notices me and embraces me. "Don't cry! This isn't goodbye, you can't get rid of me by flying across the world! I'll see ya!" I look up at him and pull out a sad smile. "I love you Car, more than you know."

The plane ride was long. Like excruciatingly long. I ate, I slept, I watched loads of movies, and I cried a lot. Not sure why. Carter has always been my rock. Him and my mom are all I ever had. My dad left before I was even bored so me and my mom got super close. She's kinda my best friend. I tell her everything, and Carter has just always been there. Leaving him behind just doesn't feel right. He was my only friend. I know he'll be fine, he had no trouble making friends and people loved him. For me, it's a different story.

When we get off the plane, me and my mom Uber to our new house. The Uber ride was weird to say the least and I hope me and my mom get cars soon. Arriving at the new house was like a scene out of a movie.

My mom got this job at a super huge new company. And with loads to spend they really pulled out all the shots to get her here. So our house is decked out. It's not too big considering it's just us two but it's definitely gorgeous. And a huge step up from the studio apartment in Ohio, and the weather is nicer here in Sydney.

Me and my mom blast music while we unpack. I can tell she's not too happy about the move considering she was well known in our town, and now she's scared to be alone. But she's trying, for me.

A/N - Hey guys! This is my first(ish) fan fic and I'm super excited to continue it. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
