Falling For Him Fast

Moving Day

"Mom I don't want to move. Don't you remember how my first day at this new school went. What if it happens again?"

"Honey dear, things will be okay. I know it's going to be rough but just think if you have an issue with someone you now have a guy to protect you. You and Austin will do great things."

Meet my mom Marie, who recently just got a new job and they are now packing all our things and moving to Miami, Florida. I am taking this a lot harder than what my mother is taking it. I don't want to move because I am afraid that things are going to go wrong at this new school.

As I was packing my things I am replaying all the things that had happened when we moved to Atlanta Georgia, and I am super scared that things are gonna go bad in Miami Florida. As I finish up my last box I tape it up and carry it downstairs with tears in my eyes and walk it out to the moving truck. I walk back into out big house and just stared into space. I'm remembering all the good memories and started to cry. I took out my phone and plugged in my headphones and started to listen to "A Thousand Years by Christina Perri."

My mom was trying to talk to me but she realized what I was doing and let me be. My mom knew that this decision would ruin my life but she got hired at a new hospital and it was a higher position. Until my mom and I find a home of our own there, we are moving in with my mom's best friend Michelle. Michelle has bought a storage unit for all our belongings that are gonna later be put into our own home.

Michelle has an 18 year old son named Josh. Josh is well I guess you can say famous. All the girls would love to live with him. I don't know how to feel about living with a famous guy. He isn't my brother but I still don't know how to feel about it because what if I gets feelings for him and starts to like him. Then what. What if he has a girlfriend and his girlfriend doesn't like the idea of me living there?

My mom and I load the very last thing into the truck and go into the house one last time to do a run through. After we did the run through my mom locked the door and loaded into the truck. We had to stop at the city office before heading to Miami, so we can drop our now old house keys off. I'm still listening to my music not saying a word to my mom. The drive is a nine hour drive and my mom doesn't think that I will go a whole nine hours not talking to her.

"Honey dear, please don't be mad at me." "This is for the best of us, I promise that once we get there and we find a house of our own, everything will be okay."

"Mom I don't want to go, what do you not understand about that. Just stop talking to me. I don't understand why I can't finish my high school career here and when I'm done move down there. I don't want to live with strangers. I don't want to have to share my time with you. Don't you understand where I am coming from."

"Now Rachel that is not the way to talk to me. You know better then that. I know you don't want to leave your friends and teachers behind but you will make new ones at your new school. I talked to the principal and since your sitting high in your class and have the credits you only have to take a semester at this new school. "

"You won't have to share your time with me darling, I will always be there for you."

"Mom just stop, you aren't helping anything. You're making everything worse. Being a student for a semester will make me someone who knows everything at this school mom. I really don't want to be the new kid who knows everything. I'm done talking about this just let me be."

My mom and I don't see eye to eye on many things and her breaking the news to me about us moving and stuff didn't help the matter. We were about 8 hours into the drive and it was ten at night. I was sleeping most of the time and didn't bother to eat or do anything. I was not in the best of the mood and just wanted nothing to do with my mom. I was upset and very down at this point in time. All I wanted to do was get to this house unload my stuff and go to bed. I didn't want to interact with anyone. Lucky for me, my mom and I got a hotel for that night and we each got our own room. My uncle Don was driving my car because my uncle Don was visiting. Don was going to drive it to the hotel and his wife was going to pick him up from there. I was going to drive my car with our stuff for the new house, which was living with Josh, and just meet my mom at the house. While my mom was going to park the truck in the shop where the couches and other furniture were going to be stored until we found a house of our own.
