Chicago Life

Prologue

**2 years earlier**

Mackenzie's P.O.V.

"Emma!" I screamed at her

"What do you want?!?" she yelled back down to me. She finally came down the stairs after 2 hours of "getting ready".

"Finally!" I exclaimed " You took forever. I just wanted to let you know that when we graduate college we are so moving out of this hell hole. The neighbors were tanning outside naked... AGAIN!" We currently resided in California and went to a university there.

"Fine, Fine! Do you have anywhere particular in mind?" she asked calmly. I knew she wanted to leave too.

"Yeah"

"Where?"

"Chicago"

**2 years later**

"And now for our graduating class of 2020" I zone out. The announcer is so annoying with his monotone voice. It makes me want to cut his throat so he cannot speak anymore.

"Mackenzie Farris" I hear the annocer call out. I slowly stand up than make my way to the professors for my graduate diploma.

After a little while of the annoncer calling of names, I hear him call Emma's "Emma Parker" Emma walks up and stands in our little class huddle after she had gabbed her certificate. There were only a couple hundred people here considering it was only our group of people graduating this year. Half of vball our group are staying longer for doctor school or whatever.

"MOVING" I shriek. "CHICAGO HEAR WE COME!"

"Shiitake Mushrooms! You probably blew out my eardrums!" Emma yelled to show that she "couldn't hear herself speak"

"Oh stop overreacting. SUCK IT UP!" I said "How are you NOT excited to move?"

"I am! Its just that you are being really annoying!" she responded

"Wow sass."

"ANYWAY... You do know that we have to go home and pack up to move AND find a place AND purchase it AND sell ours."

"That's way to much work. Well, I guess I leave you to it then." I tried running but Emma grabbed my hood and pulled be back.

"I don't think so." She said a smirk playing on her lips. Damn it. Why did I have to where a hood?

~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}~{}

"Oh my..." I heard Emma trail of.

"What? What is it?" I said running over to her.

"Look at this place. It's amazing! Three bedroom, two and a half bath, a backyard patio, and a large family room. I just realized that we sound like a couple shopping for a house to start a family in" Emma said. Her face contorted a little when she was saying the last sentence. I think it put a terrible image in her mind as it had done for me.

"Really? That's what you think of. And now the image is forever etched into my mind. Thanks for that." Oh Emma. What are we going to do with her?

"Well on a different note they are not asking a lot at all. Super cheap actually. We can afford to pay moving costs, plane tickets, and the home at this rate." My stomach started to do flips. I doubt that I could be more excited.

" We only have a few more stuff to box so let's get it done. By the way the biggest part thats left is your room so CHOP CHOP!" I said clapping my hands loudly at the end. "HURRY" Emma stood up a ran to the stairs and up them. I heard a slam and her body came slowly back down the stairs. She tripped. Going up the stairs. And let herself slide back down. Wow. I walked over to Emma and tried to pull her up the stairs. I failed miserably. It's harder than you think okay. Emma weighs nothing but I'm weak okay! I should start going to the gym so I can get some muscles. I burst out laughing at the thought of me actually getting out of bed at a normal time to go work out. HAHAHAHA! I'm hilarious. I think I'm okay with being weak and fat.

I pinched Emma's side and she starts to squirm and laugh. Got you sucker. I make Emma go upstairs SLOWLY and CAREFULLY because I don't want her to trip again. I say that not in concern for her well being but because I don't even want to think about the gym again sooo...
