Chapter 1 Leaving my home...

I sigh as I pack my stuff and loaded it into a moving truck. "Imma miss living here....and my friends" I say in my thoughts. I hug my friends and wave goodbye as a get into the car. I start to cry as my parents drive me away from my home. I see my friends also start to tear up as I wave bye.

I've lived in Colorado my whole life and now I'm moving away to Maryland because dad was offered a high paying job and since we were already struggling to pay rent in our small little home they thought this would be the best. I rub my eyes and wipe my tears. I sigh "this is gonna be a long road trip" I say in my thoughts. Since my parents couldn't afford plane tickets we were going by car.

After a while I started to feel sleepy so I went to sleep. When I woke up it was night and my parents had stoped in a parking lot for a break. I look out the window and saw a bunch of suspicious people around a dumpster. "dumpster divers" I thought while rolling my eyes. I checked my phone and saw it was 1:09 am I take a quick snap of myself doing the peace sign and sent it to my friends then went back to sleep. "Honey" I hear my mom say in my sleep. I woke up and saw my mom. I rub my eyes and wave good morning to her. She asks me what I wanted for breakfast. I quickly take out a piece of paper and write McDonald's. She smiles and says "Okay" and tells my dad to head to McDonald's. I smile and wipe the drool off my face and brush my teeth in the car. When we get to McDonald's I write my order on a piece of paper and hand it over to the cashier. For lunch and dinner we would stop at a restaurant of my choice. This was pretty much what happened on that 2 day road trip. When we finally got to our new home I sat on the porch because of the exhaustion. The moving truck with our stuff got here a few hour before we did. I watch my parents slowly start to unload the truck. I sigh "Well I better go help them" I say in my head while getting up. After a while of hard work, I've sort of finished unpacking my room. I looked at the window to see it was already dark. I frown and jump into bed. I let out a tear as a toke out my phone and scrolls through pictures of my friends and I. My mom knock on my door and I open it after wiping my tears. When my mom saw my sad face. she got down to my level while holding on to my shoulder. "I know your upset about moving" she says. "But I'm sure you'll make new friends and you'll have a great time here" I avoid eye contact while trying to hold back my tears. She continues to look at me and says "Your friends can visit or you could visit them" she says putting on somewhat of a smile. I nodded and walked towards my bed. She tells me goodnight and leaves my room. I jump back into bed, and cried myself to sleep.
