Can You Keep A Secrete?

Moving In

My name is Aaliyah, before I moved out I lived in a small town with my family. I moved for one good reason...well I think it's a very good reason. My family is very unsupportive and ungrateful in what I do in my life. Especially when I was in high school, they never thought what I did was good enough, even when my grades were good.

I got tired of how they would treat me, so I made a promise to myself to save up money and move out. To do what I want without anyone being so negative. Only my friends were there for me.

When I was 18, things started getting worse with me and my family. Fights were becoming physical, punishments were for no reason. I was so sick of it, so I called up one of my friends, Paige, to see if I can live with her for a while until I get my own place. It was easier then I expected, but I didn't care I just wanted to leave.

When I left to live with my friends, everything was doing so good...until I had to move out again. But this time it was because her mom was few weeks in having a baby and she needing more room.

I was perfectly fine moving out, since I had enough money to get my own place. Plus I got a job there, I start a week after I move in.

After a few months I finally moved into the city. Whitout saying a word to my family about moving, I had got this amazing appointment. Paige helped me move in for a while.

"Thank you so much for helping me with my stuff...I'm going to miss you though..."

"You're welcome Aaliyah, I'll miss you too...wish you didn't move so far away"

"Don't worry I'll visit time to time"

I took my arms out for a hug. She hugged me tight. We have been friends since middle school, and after years went by we ended up becoming closer and closer. She was the main one there for me when I had fights and hard times with my parents.

"Be careful out here, and don't trust any boys!!"

I giggled at what she said. When I was a sophomore in high school, I had a boyfriend named Reese. We were together for 2 years. One day when I was hanging out with him, he left the room, leaving his phone on the counter. Then it rang. It was an unknown number...when I answered it I heard some girl on the other side. I never heard this girl before, she said...

When are you coming over...I miss you

I was shocked. I felt tears running down my face. I heard the door open and I saw him standing there looking confused. Pretending to care, he asked me what I was wrong. All I did was run out.

I heard him run after me, calling my name. He then he grabbed my wrist. He asked me why I ran off, I jerked my arm away then looked at him with my teary eyes.

"If you wanted to be with someone else just tell me!! DON'T CHEAT ON ME!!!"

It took me a while to get over it, my friends beat him up from what he did to me. He kept calling me and even now. Saying Aaliyah I'm sorry she was nothing to me or you're my one and only...I love you. I never want to see or hear from him again for what he did...and I don't want to hear his fake excuses.

"It's been almost 4-5 years, but I'll be more aware"

"Good...now I have to go help my mom out with the baby, I'll call you when I get back ok?"

"Ok, drive safe"

"Will do...see ya, and have fun, and don't let anyone bring you down!"

I heard her say from a distance while walking to her car. I watched her drive off, I waved goodbye. Once I couldn't see her in a distance anymore I walked up to my appointment.

Once I walked in I saw nothing but boxes scattered everywhere. I sighed in how much work I have to do and how long this would take.

"I'm so not in the mood for this"

I walked pass all the boxes and finally found the bedroom. The first thing I did was fall on it.

Without noticing, I fell asleep. When I woke up I looked at my phone and it said 8:30pm. I started getting hungry. I was going to go and cook something, that's when I realized that I don't have any groceries. I grunted lazily while sliding off my bed. I put my shoes on, got my keys, and left.

I came back home 30 minutes later. I took out my food, turned on my t.v. and watched a movie.

Soon I heard my phone go off. I looked at it and saw it was Paige. I missed her call at around 6 o'clock from earlier. I guess she's calling me again so I know she's back.

I answered my phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Aaliyah you didn't answer my call earlier, did you fall asleep?"

"Uhh...umm no! I was busy unpacking and my phone was dead!"

"Uh-Huh sure, anyway I'm back home"

"Oh ok. I'll see you whenever"

"Ok, bye"

"Bye"

I hung up the call then went back to eating. When I finished I looked all over the room, seeing boxes. 'I really don't want to do this...' I said in my thoughts. I kept starring at them 'eh I'll do them tomorrow'

I turned off my light and t.v. then walking to my room. I took a shower, put my phone on the charger. Got in the bed and slowly went to sleep.
