My name is Allie Costello, I'm 14 years old and I live in a small town named Brantford. I have an older sister named Valerie, and a younger brother,George. I was sitting in my room, on my phone when I started hearing my mom and dad yelling at each other in the kitchen.

Dad: Christine!! I'm not seeing other women!!

Mom: Then why have you been coming home from work after 3 in the morning!?!?!?

Dad: BECAUSE!!! I...t...

Mom: Save it!! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!!!

Dad stomped out of the kitchen, got his keys, went outside and slammed the door behind him. I heard steps coming up the stairs... I didn't want to get in the middle of this so I got off of my bed, ran to the door, and LOCKED IT.

KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.

Me: GO AWAY!!!

Mom: ALLIE!

Me: Go AWAY!

Mom: Fine but you're gonna have to come out sooner or later.

Then she left. I fell back on my bed and started balling my eyes out. I guess, Valerie heard me, because she came and knocked on my door.

KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.

Valerie: Allie? Can I come in?

Allie: Yeah.

I got up and unlocked the door for her. She came in and sat with me on my bed. We just sat there and cried, and cried, and when we stopped crying we started telling funny stories and laughing.

Valerie: So... I guess we're gonna have to chose who we're staying with.

Me: Yeah... Who are you gonna stay with?

Valerie: I want to stay with dad.

Me: Well if you're staying with dad than I'm staying with him too.

Steph: You don't have to...

Me: Yes I do, we need to stick together.

We talked for hours until we had to eat dinner. After dinner, me and Valerie went out to Tim Hortons to hang out with a few of our friends. We didn't tell them that we would be moving in just a few days because we didn't want to make them sad during some of the last days we would be seeing them. We were there for like 3 hours!!! I mean, I just guess we lost track of time, because mom said that we could only stay out for an hour and a half. OOPS!!

Me: OMG!!! Valerie!! We need to get home!

Valerie: WHY!?!?

Me: It's been like 3 hours!!

Valerie: OMG!!

So, we grabbed our stuff, said goodbye and got into Valerie's car. Valerie almost got a ticket on the way home, she was going 87km/h in a 50km/h ZONE!!! I told her to slow down and when she saw the speedometer she was like OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! She slowed down REAL QUICK. Good thing because we were coming up to an intersection and there are usually cops there.

Well, I can't write any more on this page so I guess I'll have to finish telling you about this on the next page.


BYE ;)
