(Kylie's POV)

Today I woke up extra early to make my mom's favorite breakfast. It was her birthday, she was turning 34. My dad died four years ago in a car accident and its been hard for her. I try to do as many simple things as I can to cheer her up.

As I was walking to my moms room a peice of paper caught my eye. It was a letter written by my mom to my dad. My dad's birthday was in a few weeks. I'm guessing she was going to bring the letter to his grave. I decided not to read it becuase I didn't want to start crying before I saw my mom this morning.

When I got to her room she was on her bed watching t.v.

"Oh hey honey, what's that?" she asked.

"I made you breakfast to start your birthday off." I replied.

"Thank you so much honey, Do you want to help me eat it."

"Yes I would love to."

(An hour later)

"So what are we doing today to celebrate my birthday?" She asked.

"Mom it's a surprise!"

"Okay! Sorry I asked"

I had the whole day planned out. First, we would go to the mall and do some shopping. After that we would go to a movie. And to end the day we would go to Starbucks. We love Starbucks! I told her to go get into the car. I can't drive yet because i'm only 13, so my mom had to drive to the mall. On the way there, my mom said she had some important news to tell me.

"Honey, I know you love Florida, but I think it's time to leave. It's been to hard to for both of us remembering all the places we went with dad. Now, before I make any decisions I want to make sure your okay with it."

"Mom, I... I... I don't even know where to start. I had the perfect day planned out, and you dump this on me." Wow I can't believe her... I had a perfect day planned out and she tells me this. ughhhhh!!!!

"I know it will be hard for you but, I don't want you to have to go through the memories of dad for the rest of your life." All I know is that I need some time to think.

"Can I have some time to think about it? I'm not ready to answer this right now"

"Yes, take all the time you need honey."

(After the mall)

"Where are we going next?" I haven't told her the exact plans, but she knows we are going to the movies.

"I was thinking we'd go and see The Fault in our Stars." We just finished the book and have been dying to see the movie, so I thought it would be a good one to see.

"That sounds awesome!"

(After the movie)

"That movie was awesome!!" It really was the best movie in the history of movies!

"I'm glad you liked it Kylie." I know the next stop is Starbucks. Yay!

"Mom, I thought to end the day we could go to Starbucks." I could tell she was very excited

"That's a great idea!"

(At Starbucks)

"I will have a carmel frappichino with extra whipped cream please." I ordered my favorite Starbucks drink of all time.

"And I will have the new Pumpkin Spice Latte." My mom loves pumpkin pie, so she wanted to try the pumpkin spice latte. I went to find us a table, and thought about moving. I don't want to move, but I know it would be the best decision for both of us. She didn't even say where we would move to. I hope it would be somewhere nice, like to California or New York. My mom interrupts my thoughts

"Here's your drink honey"

"Oh thanks mom. I've made up my mind and I think it is a good idea to leave" The words were hard to say, but I know it was the best thing to do.

"I'm so happy you think that, i've been worried that you would hate me for thinking that, but you just made my day. I thought maybe we could move to North Carolina. There's a house I really like there. What do you think?" Wow... North Carolina, what ever happened to California or New York? I don't want to make my mom upset so I decided it would be a nice place to live.

"That sounds great mom, I'm happy you found a house already. Are we going to see it anytime soon?"

"Yes, since you agreed to the idea of moving, we can go see it tomorrow, but that means we are leaving tomorrow for good." WHAAAAT tomorrow? We just decided that we would go. I cannot believe this. What am I going to tell Allison. Ally and I have been best friends since birth. I can't leave her. Well it looks like she is coming with us... I wish.

"Hey mom, can Allison come with us?"

"Sorry Kylie, but Allison needs to stay in Florida with her parents." ughh this is the worst day of my entire life... I wish everything could be perfect, but that's not going to happen.
