mine - a rico kruz fanfic

Moving Day

Well here we are. Outside of my now empty home that i've know my whole life. Several of my friends in a pack outside my driveway, ready to say goodbye. God I'll miss this place. Vegas has always been my home. Nothing more nothing less. But then again i'm excited to be going to California. I've always wanted to live there. The weather is always nice, beaches, skate parks, summertime. A dream.

Summer had just started and my dad ended up getting a huge job offer that could really help our family. I was happy for him and wasn't gonna let my own feelings get in the way of this for him.

As I said my goodbyes I could feel a pain in my heart and tears forming in my eyes. All these memories I once shared will soon be the last. As i said my last goodbye i couldn't help but sob.

I saved the best for last.

Luke.

Aka my best friend and crush. Of course he didn't know this. I decided to keep it a secret. But since i'm moving I thought, why the hell not.

We soon pulled away from our, what seemed like forever, hug. I stared into his eyes for a moment before saying, "Luke," in a low soft tone.

"Yes Nova?" he said, voice slightly cracked after settling down from his cries.

"I have something to tell you before I leave. I thought since were moving I would tell you, hoping it would be easier."

"Nova, you're scaring me. Anyways, continue." he stated in a concerned tone.

"I like you."

Dammit.

I immediately regretted that as soon as I said it. I snapped my mouth shut as he stared at me with wide eyes.

"Nova I-. I'm sorry but I cannot return your feelings. I only see you as a friend, let alone...a sister."

My heart shattered.

If it weren't for the fact that I was moving, I would've broke down right then and there. Instead I put on a sad smile and said, "It's okay. I didn't really expect you too. I just really wanted to get that off my chest before I left. I hope we can remain friends though."

"Of course. I could never let us break apart because of that."

I put on a happy smile at that statement and took a sharp breath in. "Well, I better get going. Got a drive ahead of me. Face time me every night, ya?"

"Duh. What kind of best friend would I be if I didn't do that."

I chuckled at his statement as I packed my last box in the moving truck. I looked back at all my friends and locked eyes with Luke last. I smiled and opened my parents car, got in, and closed the door.

"I'm really sorry you have to leave your friends Nova but this job opportunity is super big for me." My dad said as I buckled up.

"No it's okay dad. I understand. To be honest i'm excited to make new friends and be in a new environment. I'll meet new people. Don't worry." I stated with a smile.

I didn't lie, I was excited. I was hoping to
meet some cute skater boy to sweep me off my feet and- ugh Nova shut up. That's not going to happen. Anyways as we drove away, I put my head out the window and waved to my friends. My brother sat next to me doing the same.

He's 16 and we are quite close for siblings. We have a great bond and are always there for each other. We're only two years apart so we've always gotten along. He's my best friend. No doubt.

I put in my AirPods and put on my playlist. Teenage Fever by Drake was the first song to pop up. I turned up my volume and looked out the window as the sun started to set. Ah, late night drives. The very best. I got comfortable and continued looking out the window for a while before slowly falling asleep, hoping for a good new start in San Fransisco.
