Life changing move

News

Sitting in the car driving with my dad. Watching the stop signs, stop lights, and advertisements as I'm waiting to arrive at the mall with my dad. Sitting in the car with the only sound but music playing when suddenly my dad stops the music and asks me this life changing question; this one question that could change my life possibly upside down forever. I'm in silence waiting for this big question. He says "Would you ever want to move to California?" I was shocked but didn't think much of it considering I was only 10. So I replied, "well ya that would be cool". I only thought my dad was just wondering off thinking of a scenario that could maybe happen later in life but of course wouldn't happen, ever.

Later on we went shopping and didn't speak of it at all for the next couple days. Just casually going on with my summer as a little 10 year old playing with makeup, barbies and making up random movies and dumb videos. Later, weeks and months pass by with the clock ticking and ticking faster and faster as to one day my dad sitting down with my family and telling us the big surprise, that I would never think of ever happening! "We are moving to California so we need to start packing".

As a small tear goes running down my face. Later, more tears and tears keep going down my face then later going into straight depression, angry, annoyed, upset, and confused with my dad. Not wanting to say one word to him trying to give him the silent treatment. As mad as I was, I cried and screamed myself to bed that night and then nights and nights after that. Almost resisting to pack and yelling every time my parents say to pack, strongly disobeying them because of my anger.

The house getting empty and more empty as the weeks go by. Hurting myself, mad at everyone in life. Frustrated with the world; not wanting to talk to anyone or anything.

I became alone.
