"Kayla wake up" I felt a punch on my arm making me wake up instantly, the spot that Quinton punched started throbbing. Thanks Quinton. 

"Quinton punch me one more time and you're gonna wish you weren't in the same car as me" he put his hands up in defense and gets out of the car.

I look forward and see us in front of our new house. This is where everything can restart, only some things.
I texted Braydon telling him I arrived safely, like he wanted me to. I get out of the car looking around the neighborhood.

Kids were outside playing with their parents. People going on runs or walking their dogs. It brought positive vibes to everything.

I look to my side as I heard laughter and talking. I saw two guys throwing a football back and forth. I look away as the football reminded me of Braydon instantly. Braydon has always tried teaching me how to play football but let me tell you, I wasn't made for it.

"Boxes are already put into your rooms. Just grab what's in the back" My mom informs. I nod opening the back of the car having a suitcase fall right on my head.

lovely.

"That made my entire day" Quinton says, walking towards me. I scrunch my eyes together looking down as my head started pounding. 

"Oh you big baby" Quinton puts me over his shoulder making me groan loudly.

He grabbed both of our suitcases dragging them inside the house. The house was beautiful and bigger then the one we used to live in.

"Yo! im gonna try and make new friends" Quinton says walking out, after he finally put me down. I'm assuming he was gonna go to the boys next door playing football.

Quinton was very outgoing and didn't have a hard time making friends. I was the same way, it was really easy for me to make friends. Which made it the least of my worry when it came to moving.

I went upstairs to find my room. It was the last one all the way down the hall. It was a nice bedroom, it had a lot of space for me.

Now the fun part is setting everything up.

It's been a couple days in the new house, couple days with out Braydon. Every night him and I facetime and tell each other things that went on during the day.

It really hurt not seeing him everyday. He's the main thing that kept me going through the day, the person who I looked forward to seeing everyday. Now I can't and it's been hitting me hard.
I've been quite throughout the passed few days. Everyone started to noticed and they knew why so they gave me their space.

I roll over my bed as I heard multiple laughs and people screaming at each other coming from downstairs.

Both of my moms went to work, Preston I'm pretty sure was sleeping and Quinton had a couple friends over, which i'm assuming we're already here from the amount of laughter.

I walk out of my room going towards the stairs, the laughter and screaming got louder and louder. I go down the stairs quietly not trying to get their attention.

Quinton looks behind the couch seeing me and smiles at me, he turns back around putting his attention back on the tv.

"Kayla can you give me a water?" I roll my eyes opening the fridge, grabbing a plastic water bottle.

I walk over getting a good look at the two boys on the couch. The boy with brown hair was super attractive, he looks at me making eye contact. I look away, looking at Quinton giving him his water.
