The Move.
Chapter 2
The next day was Saturday, but I woke up pretty early. I knew Charlie was a morning person, so I called her.
‘Hello!’ she chirped into the phone.
‘Hey, it’s me. Do you want to come over?’ I asked.
‘Yep, I’ll be there in 5.’ She hung up before I could say anything else.
She lived just down the road from me, so practically immediately she was at my door. I opened it for her and she gave me a quick hug, let herself into the living room, and flung herself down on the couch.
I sat down opposite her. Now would be a good time to tell her, wouldn’t it? I decided that I should tell her, and launched straight into the story before I had time to doubt myself.
‘Charl… I’m moving,’ I hesitated, and she gave me a prompting look. ‘Dad has been offered a job in the UK and… he’s accepted it. The whole family are moving, halfway across the world in 3 months.’
She was silent for a moment. Then, without saying a word, she gave me huge hug, and by that point I couldn’t stop the tears flowing. I felt that she was crying too, when she said,
‘Hey, we’ll be fine. We’re best friends right? We’ve been through everything. We can get through this. We have phone calls, Skype, Facebook, and holidays! And, if you don’t like it, you can move back when you’re 18 in two years! But still you don’t know how much I’ll miss you! No one will replace you, I can promise you that. Also, another thing I promise is that your last three months as a California girl, are going to be the best three months of your life so far.’ She winked at me.
I laughed, as she dried my tears.
‘And those three months are starting now. Go and get ready for the beach, I’m dressed already,’ she said, flicking her bikini straps by her tank top.
I ran upstairs, threw on my spotty red bikini, denim shorts and an Abercrombie t-shirt. I left my make up off today, deciding to go with the natural look. I left my hair natural too; just running a brush through it and pinning my bangs back off my face.
I pushed the whole moving situation to the back of my mind, and decided to just spend today having a good time.
We got to the beach at 12, and met a few of the guys there. The weather was amazing, considering the rain yesterday. Just proves that the weatherman is unreliable. We all just and a really good day, running in and out of the sea, eating ice creams and sunbathing. We all stayed and watched the sunset, sitting in a big group on the sand. I didn’t tell them about me moving though- I had had enough of that this morning.
Charlie and I walked home together, talking about school, boys, and other general things. She knew not to mention me moving, although I could see in her eyes that she wanted to ask me about it. We parted ways at my house, as mine was first in the row. I gave her a long hug before dashing inside, just in time for dinner.

The Move.

Chapter 1.
‘Mom?’ I called out, walking in our front door.
‘In here, honey.’ She shouted from the kitchen.
I dropped my bag down on the stairs and breezed into the kitchen. When I got to the door, I stopped suddenly. ‘Hi dad?’ He smiled uneasily back at me.
I shot a confused glance towards my mom, who looked down guiltily. You see, my father was never home. He was always at work, and never spent time with me or my sister. I don’t think I remember him ever being home earlier than 7pm. I walked over to the fridge and grabbed a can of coke, popped it open and started sipping it. I slumped down in the kitchen stool opposite my parents.
‘So, how was your day?’ I asked casually.
‘Well, mom and I have some big news for you. I’m not sure if you will like it or not, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Erm... today, my boss called me out to his office. He told me that a job had opened up in the UK that would earn another fifty thousand dollars annually. Your mom and I both agreed that we should move, and take the chance now, before it goes to someone else. The company will of course take care of all the relocation. I know the move will be difficult for you... but it’s for the good of the family. I’m sorry.’ My dad explained.
I was stunned- absolutely speechless. We couldn’t be moving halfway across the world! No! Not now! I don’t want to sound conceited, but I have a pretty good life. I have great friends, guys and girls, which no one could replace. Not even starting on my best friend, Charlie. Charlie and I have been best friends ever since we started elementary school.
‘What? No way! I am NOT moving to the UK! But what about my friends? And school?!’ I half yelled, half cried.
‘Sweetie, it’s for the best!’ mom exclaimed, ‘With all the extra money, we can buy a fantastic house, and you can have whatever you want!’
‘Madison, we’re doing this now for the good of the family. Your mom’s just been let go from her job, and Ellie is just about to start 8^th grade, and you starting your sophomore year. It’s an amazing chance, Maddie; we’d be stupid to pass it up.’ Dad explained in a calm voice.
‘I need to go out for a walk, to think about this, okay?’
I grabbed my phone out of my bag before walking out of the house and slamming the door. I ran to a deserted park at the end of my street, and flung myself on the swing.
Hmm, England. I had always wanted to go there, I guess. But moving there? That was totally different. They had the cutest accents ever, I must admit! It would be a good adventure... But what about Charlie? She was my everything, and we were literally joined at the hip. My life without her would be so boring; you could never find someone like her!
About 20 minutes later, after some hard thinking, I felt something wet splash onto my cheek, and I turned my head up to the sky to see big dark clouds above me. The rain started pouring down around me, and I jumped off the swing, almost falling over. I sprinted back to my house, getting soaked on the way.
I jumped inside the door and quickly hopped up the stairs to get changed into something comfier and dry. As I was feeling much calmer, I went downstairs and into the kitchen to my mom and dad.
‘I have been thinking about it. The whole moving thing… I realise that we have to go, for your job and stuff, and it would be extremely selfish of me to keep you back. As long as we get to visit EVERY holiday, and also you allow me to call Charlie at least once a day. If that’s all alright… When are we going?’
They looked at each other with surprise, and then smiled at me. Suddenly my mom jumped forward and gave me a huge hug and said,
‘Really? I expected much more of a fight! We are going in 3 months, in August. You will start at Oakmoore School. It really is great, but it’s got uniform, which I know will be a drastic change for you…’
 
We spoke for the rest of the night about details on the move, and by the end of the night I discovered that my parents had already looked for houses, and had picked out a beautiful one on an absolutely stunning island called Jersey. They showed me pictures, and I have to say that I was kind of… looking forward to it. But as soon as I felt a little bit hopeful and excited, I crashed back down again at the thought of telling Charlie.

tell me if you like it, and if you want me to write more?(:
