"Hey Marley want to play on the slide, we could be superheroes" a young Sebastian says.
"You could be the flash I could be superman '' Marley says with the wildest grin the older Sebastian grin. ''You can't be Superman, you're a girl, be uh supergirl ok." they race off to the slide. They planned for hours before Marley's mom pulled up. "Want a ride" marley says turning toward sebastian "no no it's fine my dad will be here soon" 
"Ok bye seb"
"Bye mar"

Time jump hour later 
Marley's pov
My mom wanted to talk to me about something she says it's Important I sit on the couch. It's kind of hot with my sweat pants on but we don't have anything else I could where. And come winter I'll need pants so I can't cut them. 

I sit there dozing off until my mom snaps her finger in front of may face "marley did you hear me we have to move" everything seems to slow down like the world just stopped "MOVE" I jump up "MOVE like down the street right I can't move no, I I  I wont I cant what about seb" my mind races a thousand miles an hour what's gonna happen to seb? Will he forget me? What if he hates me? What about us what'll happen will we still be friend I mean buds for life but "how far how far away!" I pretty much scream in her face. "About a day or two, but I found this really nice house were you can have a room and you won't have to sleep on the couch"

I won't hear any of it. I ran out the door. I can hear my mom calling be all I can do is run. I got to the park I didn't even realize I was running to the park, till I got there. I can see seb, he's sitting on the curb kicking rocks. I guess his dad isn't here yet. "Seb" I run over hw stands up and I trap him in a hug "what wrong why are you crying? '' I can hear the concern in his voice. Gee I'm really gonna miss him. He's like a brother bo he is a brother "seb I'm moving" I say in his shoulder "what" he says breaking the hug. I look at him tears in my eyes ''my mom got a job and now we have to move seb I can't go I can't lose you." i feel so stupid crying infront of him. "It's Ok when you leave" "in a few days seb I don't want to" he pulls me back into a hug god I'm gonna miss these he feels so warm and smells so good. A big fancy car pulls into the lot of the playground Sebastian quickly jumps back "I have to leave it's my dad. He'll be mad if I don't go" soon after he leaves  I make my way home around the corner. I can see red and blue lights. It's Crazy. I walk in the house to see my mom crying into my dad
 "Mom" I say scaring everyone in the room "baby" my mom yells and tums to me she wraps me in a hug it's not like serbs but it's still warm. 

“You have to start packing darling” my mom says “why do we have to leave” my mom didn’t know what to say you could tell by her face. “Ok '' I very slowly entered my room for probably the last time. I look around my room, I see the pictures of me and seb, the paintings I had drawn hung on the wall, I open the draw and lift the fake bottom to see the songs I had written. Seb was the only other person to know about this. He says I should join the school's glee club but I'm way too shy. I'm really going to miss him. After hours of packing i was finally done i had tapped the last boxes the only thing that remained in the room was my matrise the farmer had been packed up. We weren’t leaving till tomorrow but the moving truck leaves today. I go down stairs to see my mom and dad arguing like they always do. I'm a little confused cause dads stuff isn't packed. I walk into the room where they are fighting. they instantly stop like they always do.

“What's going on”
“nothing sweetheart”

It's been years since then I wonder whatever happened to sebastian. We stopped talking a long time ago. I guess we just moved on. My mom works at midvale high, she's the lunch lady, our house is decent smaller than beer but there are only two of them. My parents split that's why we moved.

I start to take my stuff out of my locker when christan came up behind me he shoved my hard against the loker. I just chuckled and kissed him we've been dating for almost two years now.”hey babe, how's your mom” i say he kisses me again. “Still dying” i hit him in the shoulder, “come on now- wait look it's patrick” i point to the six grader that trugges ago. “hey pat” i say rapping my arm around him, “please not today” I push him against the locker “what cat got your tongue” i spit in his face “you were all mouth when you were making fun of my mom” christan just stood behind me nodding. I was the queen of the school, everyone knew that making fun of my mom can at a price. And the few that do end up in the hospital.

Chris taps me on the shoulder a teacher was coming. I was good at never getting caught, but this time i was mad no i was pissed. We started walking away but i turned and punched him the teacher was down the hall but he could see. he saw me punch patrick and started running towards us chris had just ran he couldn’t risk it he was on probation I on the other had nothing to lose. 

I jump on pat and start punching the hell out of him. The teacher had to get 2 other teachers to pry me off. “This is the third strike miss marley rosa '' the principal doesn't scare me. I never did the one that did was my mom. I could tell that she couldn’t deal with me any more. I blanked out the whole time I was only brought back when he said “ . . . transfer you and her. I can talk to my friend in Lima Ohio. He may have a job for you there. Otherwise this is the last time I want to see either of you on this property . . .” he kept talking  but I didn't care. I have started a life I have made and lost friends and I have a boyfriend. I have a life. I stand up knocking my chair back, both my mom and Mr.Write look at me “No you can't do that i have a life” i say i run out of the room until christan stops me I cry in his shoulder i've never cried like this at least in front of people.
His sweatshirt smells like home he makes me feel safe like sebastian did, before I . . . moved. “Whats wong mar” he brake the silents.”I have to move” he just looks at me “i'm sorry mar i don’t know what to say
