A Protected Girl

Running into the house Cleo takes a deep breath. Her mom so happens to be cleaning. She looks up and studies Cleo. "What's wrong?" Her mom asked. "I'm moving in with
Ashton I can't take it here anymore!" She shouted. Her mom is confused followed her to her room. "It's not you, it's just everything else there is a good school down there and another job. I can meet new people." She said. Her mom sat on her bed with a sad look on her face.
Cleo wiped her eyes before any tears came out. And sat next to her laying her head on her shoulder. "Cleo if you going to make a big move don't do it out of anger. You can move and come back anytime but all you doing is moving away from your problems. Never do that whatever is going on, fix it than decide if moving is best." Her mom said. She's right Cleo thinking irrational she really need time to think this through.
She's really going to regret not making up with Mimi and the boys. She needs to get to the real bottom of the boys issue with each other but first before them is Mimi. "I have to go catch Mimi before she leave." Cleo said. She ran to her house the door is open the house was almost empty she quickly went into her room seeing Mimi holding a box. "Hey" Cleo said. She turned around and didn't say a word than resume packing. "Never thought we will actually go through this point.
We always said not us, we won't stop talking to each other." Cleo says. "But it is us now I'm moving, you're moving I guess this the end." Mimi said. Cleo toke a deep breath looking at the nearly empty room. This room held plenty of memories just like hers. "I'm sorry I'll say it again I'm sorry Mimi that I haven't been a great best friend, I was too focused on a boy that only wanted one thing out of me." Cleo said. Mimi stopped packing and walked close to Cleo. "I haven't been a great friend either the move was so fast I wasn't ready and than all you ever talked about was the boys I guess it made me so angry. So I'm sorry too." She says. They hugged each other like never before each with tears in their eyes.
Mimi whispers while sobbing, "I wish I didn't have to go." Cleo breaks off the hug as a thought came to her head she called her mom. "Hey I need a huge favor can Mimi live with us till she get her own place please she has nowhere to go and we have the extra room." Cleo said. It was silence a waiting game as her mom thinks about it. "Ok" she says.
They jumped up and down looks like Mimi is here to stay. Mimi excitement goes down and she says, " We quit our jobs." Cleo shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know what to say I don't want to ever go back. We can find jobs that's better." She said.
They both knew finding a job like that for them would be hard but anything will do for now.
