Destiny

Chapter 1

People. They come and they go. Some stay longer than others and some won't stick around long enough to know your name. That's where I'm stuck. No one ever tries to get to know me. People normally get that depressed vibe and decide to leave. The people who do know my name only know it because the spread stuff around about me or bully me. And that's when my mother decides it's time to switch schools again.

So here I am. My Name is Jordan Malibu. I am a 17 year old girl and I am pansexual. I am on my way to go live with my Aunt Sammy in Gold Beach, Oregon. I have never been out of the state of Indiana in my life. Other than to visit family in Ohio, but never longer than a week. Yet I have been to a different school almost every year due to bullying. Luckily last year my mother finally decided to agree to let me do homeschool. I zoomed straight through it. Graduated early. Isn't that pretty cool? To graduate being 16? It's great to be able not deal with bullying and drama. But now my mother wants me to leave. I have one year before i can move out. One year till i'm an adult. So why now? And why so far? My mother can't handle my depression anymore. She says I am getting to be too much for her. The closest family member to me, by relation not distance obviously, is Aunt Sammy. No one else would even think about taking me in, and I don't know my father so that's off the table. That's the thing with my mother. She has three children and doesn't know the father to any of us except the youngest, because she is currently still with his father. There is me, the oldest, my younger sister, Kara, she is 8, and the newest member of the Malibu family, the baby boy Micca, he is 5.

I'm hoping people in Oregon are different than people in Indiana. I have only really had one real friend my whole life and it is my 15 year old cousin, Mackenzie, but ever since i came out to my family she doesn't want to hang out with me. I came out 4 years ago and since then half of my family doesn't want to even say I am related to them. I really do want friends tho. I mean doesn't everyone? Hell, i would settle for one friend. I mean one real friend is better than multiple fake friends or no friends at all right? I sort of gave up on making friends a few years ago, but i'm using this 'Moving to Oregon' thing as an excuse to start over. Maybe I will find a friend or too.

About an hour ago my mother put Micca in his carseat, got Kara all set with her portable dvd player, and helped me put all my things in the car. Now we are on the road i don't know where we are because to be honest i'm thinking too much to focus on where we are. I'm thinking about stupid things like, "What does Oregon look like", "How much has Aunt Sammy changed", or "what if I finally meet someone I like there?" This is a new feeling for me but I am honestly kind of excited. I miss my aunt. We have so much in common and honestly she has been more of a mom to me than my own mother. After a while I passed out as I normally do in car rides. This is going to be way more than i'm used to though. I'm used to a few hours. This is going to take about 37 hours, or longer because with Micca we have to stop a lot. I don't know why my mother decided we just HAD to drive. I would've been perfectly fine on a plane.
