We walk out to the car still laughing so I nearly trip over but I catch myself. Once we calm down we get in the car for the eight hour drive. I took the liberty of making a makeshift bed in the back of my dad's car. Once we are ready, dad starts the drive to his new wife's house. That's the reason we are moving, my dad got remarried to a woman I haven't even met yet but dad says I'll love her. All I know is that she has 3 sons- 2 twins, that are my age and one that is a year older than me. As I'm thinking about what my new siblings are like, I out in my headphones and play my favourite song- talking to the moon. As my dad is driving I decide to take a nap. 

A few hours into the drive, my father woke me up. "Saph, wake up darling. I've stopped so we could get some food." I look out of the window and notice that it is raining. I put the jumper that is around my waist on and step out of the car. We walk through the parking lot and into the diner; the waitress comes over  so me and my dad order burger and chips each. We eat in silence and when we are finished, dad pays for the food. As we leave the diner, I see a boy around the age of 11 or 12 being pushed around by a group of boys my age. I start to walk over there but a firm grip on my shoulder stops me. 

I turn around and look at my dad with  confused look on my face, "Dad, what are you doing? Let me go and help that boy because it doesn't look like anyone else is going to help!"

"Saph you don't know them, plus they've stopped now." I look over to the group and see that my dad was right. I look for the little boy and see him shivering on the ground whilst the older boys laugh at him. 

I start walking over o the little boy after saying to my dad, "I don't care dad. No one should get bullied. I know how it feels and i could barely deal with it! I'm going over there."
