Once I had finished telling Shawn my whole story the room went quiet for a couple of seconds. Then Shawn spoke up.
"At least you'll be closer to Australia, haven't you always wanted to go there?"
Typical Shawn. In a very awkward, very sad moment he tries to make a joke. That's why I love him so much.
I smile a little bit, at least I will have good memories.
"Maybe we could hang out in the holidays"? Shawn says.
"Yeah" I answer. Then we just lye on Shawn's bed and hug.

I must have been lying on his bed for ages because when I lifted my head up it was dark outside. I sneakily climb off the bed so as not to disturb Shawn and creep out of his house and down the road. I get to my house and scramble straight into bed.

In the morning I feel really bad. I feel bad for what I said to my mum yesterday. It's not her fault that we have to move. It will be a better life for her up there. So I quickly race to the kitchen and make mum breakfast in bed. I clamber back up the stairs and into mums room
"Mum I am sorry for what I said to you yesterday"
"It's alright I understand how you feel"
