"You're going to love my house, Izzy, i promise it wont be like last time" stated my dad.

I knew he meant well but it's just like last time. He promises he's changed and that I'm safer with him but then halfway through the year he loses it and i relapse then i finally get to go back with my mom.

Same cycle, every year, every day of my life. it's been like this since I was born. Never having a completely stable home. Only being able to keep up one friendship.

"Izzy are you listening to me?" My dad asks, furrowing his eyebrows together in concern.

"Yeah, dad, yeah" I lied as he just continued talking about his new house and how i can decorate my bedroom.

After forever, which actually was only about 45 minutes, we pulled up to a white two story house. This house, by far, was the nicest house my father has ever had.

We got out of the car and i followed my father inside the house. my jaw dropped. This house was huge! I heard chuckling and turned to my side.

"So I'm takin it you like my new and improved house?" my father asked with a childish grin spread across his face.

I just shrugged. He couldn't know what I thought. That's just mean he gets a step closer into my life.

As we walk further into the house I notice all the little pictures of my father and his wife, Sarah.

It's upsetting really. I've never fully forgiven him for leaving my mom and I like he did. I know things were rough but still...

"Izzy your room is on the second floor the fourth door to the left." My father said.

I just sighed and began my trek up the stairs. This was going to be one hell of a year.

When I walked in my room i noted how everything was the way i like it. had my father and mother been talking?

How did my dad know what bands I liked and that my favorite color was blue so he covered the wall in blue paint and pierce the veil and sleeping with sirens posters.

As I began to unpack my things I was allowing my mind to wander through all he possibilities.

What if the skate parks here suck. What if the guys here don't let me skate because I'm a girl. well if they do that I'll just kick them in the nuts...

I decided I would take a nap so i Put on a pair of my dance shorts and my treasure island sweatshirt. I loved this thing.

And then with that I slowly drifted off to sleep thinking about my new life and new home.
