Learn How to Let Go - Beau Brooks

My name's Annabella - Annabella Smith. I'm 17 years young, and a native Californian. Without a tan. 

My best friend lives in Australia, and she's moved about 3 years ago. Those 3 years without her have been awful. Getting bullied everyday because of something you can't control isn't the best. 

My parents are still together, sort of. They are, I guess, "still together", but really they live on other sides of the world. It's too much money for them to get a divorce, which is why it's so stressful. My mom always calls my dad talking about money; however, the conversations always end up in arguments. 

I admit, sometimes I'd like to be normal. I'd like to be away from everyone and start all fresh. But, me, living in this cruel world, the chances are very odd. 

"Annabella!" my mom called up the stairs. I groaned and checked the clock. 6:30. I wanted to fall back asleep, but the constant barking of my mom forced me to go down. 

"You're leaving." my mom said quickly. 

"What...?" my voice cracked. I rubbed my eyes and yawned a bit. 

"Pack up your clothes." she demanded. 

"Where am I going, mom?" my expression changed and I furrowed my eyebrows together. 

"Australia." 

I stopped. Stopped moving. I stopped thinking. I just full on .. stopped. 

That means I would have to see my dad again. 

That was something I thought I'd never do again.
