Wills POV

I was packing the last of my things in a cardboard box. It seems like just yesterday mom married Lonny and now we're moving away. Jonathan said that we're moving to some place called Hawkins Indiana. I haven't gone to see the new house yet. It makes me a little sad to have to move away. It's not like I had any friends here but change is one of my biggest fears.

I grabbed the box and carried out to the trunk of mom's car. It didn't feel right. I don't know if I'm just scared or what but I don't have a good feeling about any of this. "Are you ready to go buddy?" Jonathan asked calmly
"Ready as I'll ever be." I reply. We load the last of our things into the moving truck and get in the car.

The car drive is very long. Mom told me it'll be about 11 hours until we get there. I get that she wants to escape bad memories but this is a huge change that I'm not ready for yet. I get out my notebook and drawing supplies and I start to get to work. Art is very calming for me. It's always been my escape from the real world. Sometimes I even draw alternate universes that I would kill to live in. Lonny always told me that when I'm older I'll have to wake up from my trance and ditch art. Honestly that's probably one of the nicest things Lonny has ever said to me. My dream is to go to art school but I don't know how well that'll go. I completed 5 different drawings before drifting off into a deep sleep.

I woke up to Jonathan slightly shaking me. "Wake up buddy we're at the gas station."
"Alright." I slowly get out of the car to stretch my legs. We used the washroom and bought some snacks. We walked back to the car to get ready for he rest of the car ride. "You were asleep for a long time." Mom said.
"How long?" I asked
"For about 4 hours." Wow I guess I did sleep a lot I thought to myself. I started to do word search. It's not my favorite thing to do but it definitely passes time during a long car ride like this one. I'm not very good at it either. But somehow Jonathan can always find whatever word I'm looking for in a matter of about 7 seconds.
"Are you excited to make new friends?" Mom asked. I never told her that I got bullied or that I didn't have any friends. Usually I would say I'm going out to see my friends so I can go to the library.
"Um I guess so." I sheepishly replied.
"Don't worry I'm sure you'll make friends in no time." Jonathan added. Unlike my mum Jonathan knows about the bullying. He knows where I go when I say I'm hanging out with friends. I think he wants me to make friends more than I wanna make friends.

After a very long car ride we finally got to the new house. It wasn't much bigger than our old house but it was definitely nicer. The wallpaper was still intact to the walls, the lights in the house worked, and best of there's doors to our rooms. At our old house Lonny took it upon himself to take away all our privacy and instead of a door we had a thin curtain. We picked our rooms and started to move some boxes in.
"We won't add in the furniture until tomorrow. I think right now we all just need sleep." Mom said to Jonathan and me. (I'm bad at grammar sorry if that grammatically incorrect)
"I have the air mattresses. We'll only have to sleep on them tonight." We all walked to our rooms and fell asleep.

A/N sorry I know how bad this is but I really hope you enjoy it 😁😁😁
