When my dad died we moved , i honestly don't know why but I think it's because my mom believed it would be easier for all of us. She didn't consider the fact that I have friends in Oregon and that I might not want to move but she doesn't care. Don't get me wrong my mom is the best person in the world. She had me when she was super young and decided to keep me. Dropping everything she had going for her and of course my biological dad wasn't ready for a kid at the age of 17 so he walked out on her. But then she met her husband while she was in college finishing getting her degree. I was 2 at the time so he's the only father figure I know of. When I was 12 he enrolled in the army. It was tough living without him for 4 years but my mom and I knew he was doing what he loved, so we didn't want to stop him. He came back 3 years later after he's tour was done. I was 15 at the time. When he came back he wasn't the same as he was before. He had mental issues and started drinking . He wasn't the father that I grew up with. Last month he passed away from a heart attack. It was sudden but luckily neither my mom or I was there to witness it. The doctors said it was strange but not uncommon. Every since he's passing my mom hasn't been the same. We left so that both her and I could start new and not see his face every where we went.

-In California-
It's been a couple months since we've moved and it hasn't been so bad. I graduated high school last year but I'm taking a gap year cause I don't want to go back to school right away. I have made some really awesome friends. One of my best friends is Sofia , she's the funny one of the group but can also be serious when needed. The other best friend is a Dylan , he's just the over protective and the know it all. We all make a perfect combination.

On my way home from hanging out with Sofia and Dylan I see a U-haul truck. I didn't realize any one was moving out. I take the elevator to the apartment and go straight to the fridge. I was eating some ice cream when I hear a big bang. I thought it was my mom so I run outside but to my surprise someone had dropped a box. I felt bad so I went to go help them pick the stuff up.

"Oh here let my help you" i say picking up some clothes and also some pictures with frames that broke.

"It's okay there's really no need" said a voice. I look up making eye contact with this boy. He had a big smile on his face but he's cheeks were also red from embarrassment.
"No it's no big deal it's okay." I replied.

"Well thank you, how rude of me not to introduce myself. I'm Taehyung but my friends call me V"

"Well hi taehyung i'm Jessica, wait are you the one that's moving?" i asked looking down at the box i had in my hand that said TAEHYUNGS CLOTHES.

"Yeah , I'm moving to the apartment four doors down."

"Oh , Cool" I said. We both heard the elevator beep so we turned around and it was my mom. She said Hi and shook his hand and they introduced each other. We helped him move the boxes into his apartment.

As we were leaving my mom added "Jessica and you seem to be about the same age , if you need a new friend or anything just come over. you seem like a good kid" she said leaving.

"Well thank you Mrs.Porter. Also thank you both for helping me move the boxes."  We all waved a friendly wave and left.

"He seems like a nice kid Jessica you should talk to him."

"I will mom."
