"Mom why do we have to move?" I yell down the hallway of my empty house.
"I told you millions of time that I got a promotion at my job." she yells back.
"Do we have to move? You can find a new job."
"I wish it was easy as that to find a new job and plus this job gives us a new house better than this one."
"But I like this one." Really I do I love this house it may be old but I grew up here and it's the last memory I have of my dad. My dad died when I was 3, he was the best dad ever he would tuck me in at night and read my princess stories. I miss him so much.
"I do to honey but your dad would want us to move on."
"What about my boyfriend Tristan and my friends?"
"You will make lots of friends. Tristan will understand and you guys can do that long distance relationship."
"But it won't be the same."
"I know honey but you will have to work with it and Honey lets go or we will miss our plane."she starts walking to the car.
"Fine mom" I walk behind her.
We get to the airport and get pass security and we make it to our plane. I don't want to leave Chicago but I guess I'll have to sacrifice myself for my mom's job. Ugh just a few hours to land in Joplin.
-------------
As we drive to out new house in Joplin I text Tristan and tell him I landed. When we get to the house, I was like oh my Jesus. The house wasn't big but it was perfect. I explored the house and I saw there was a pool in the backyard.
"Honey if you want go explore the town."
"Okay let me just change" I grab my suitcase and grab a Nirvana t-shirt with black shorts and my black vans. "Mom I'm leaving"
"Be safe honey, call me if you need anything."
"I will mom" I hug her and leave.
I walk to the beach which isn't as far as I thought it was. The warm sand feels great on my skin. If only Tristan was here it would of been perfect. He hasn't texted me back, he is probably working or something. My stomach starts to growl I haven't ate all day, I look for a burger or a fast food restaurant. There is a burger place right across the street. I walk in an order a cheeseburger with fries and sit in a small booth. As I eat the door from the small restaurant slams and everyone goes quiet. It appears to be two guys with serious faces. They walk around the restaurant, I hear them coming near my booth. I feel like everyone is watching me so I look up and the two guys sit in my booth. The people go back to normal and I'm just frozen. Why are they sitting here? What?
"Are you new?" one of the guys ask.
"Of course she is I haven't fucked her." the other guy say with a smirk. "What's your name?"
"Umm Veronica" I say softly.
"Hey I'm Howard this jerk is Grant." Howard smiles.
"Nice name" Grant says.
"Thanks. Now can you guys leave I'm trying to eat." I say politely because they seem like the guys you shouldn't mess with.
"We are sharing this booth." Grant sternly says.
"I guess." I whisper.
"So where are you from?" Howard asks.
"Chicago" I smile, I feel Grant's eyes on me.
"Cool" Howard says.
--------------
As we finish eating I walk to pay for the meal but the man running the restaurant told me it's on the house. I see that both Howard and Grant left the restaurant. They didn't even say bye I know they wouldn't but it would of been nice.
