Im Thinking of a New Title

CHAPTER 3

At about 4:00 I decide I should go home and so he gives me a ride. When we arrive at my house, I thank him for all he did for me, give him a quick kiss on the cheek and head to my front door. Thankfully my parents are gone so I don't have to worry about dealing with their childish arguments. As soon as I walk in the door I do my homework and go straight to bed even though it's only 6:30. I just want to escape this feeling and maybe avoid my parents. I fall asleep immediately and the last thing I remember is my phone ringing. But I was to tired to care.

*

I wake at 10:00 to the sound of my phone. I look at it and see it's from Austin.

From: Austin

To: Katiana

Hey babe, Just wondering how you were doing and if you were coming to school tomorrow. I have a surprise for you! ;)

As I read the text I realized how worried he and Aline must be. They had called/texted me a total of 17 times. I immediately text him back.

From: Katiana

To: Austin

Of course I will be at school! How could I miss a surprise? Also sorry I didn't answer. You must be worried... I was sleeping.

From: Katiana

To: Aline

Sorry for not answering you, I was asleep. Austin text me and said he has a surprise for me tomorrow! :) See you at school!

After I message both of them I sneek downstairs to see if my parents are awake. Thankfully they aren't, so I head to the kitchen since I haven't ate yet. I rummage through the cupboards and decide on toast with peanut butter on top. It's the best thing I'm willing to make myself.

When I'm done eating, I head up to my room but stop when I hear whispers from my parents room. "Gene was our last tie to this town. What's the point of staying here when we have family in other parts of the world? We could even move somewhere random like the UK or Australia.... maybe even Germany! I'm not sure where yet, but all I know is that we are moving.

And that's all it takes. I run into my room and slam the door. Now my grandma, the person I was closest to in my life, is dead and they want me to move from everything I know? From Aline and Austin? I just can't take it. All I can seem to do is lay there and cry myself to sleep, for the second time tonight. Question after question running through my head. What will I do? What will Austin and Aline think? Will I survive without them?

Hope you like it so far! I know it's short but I've been kinda busy.
