Chapter 1

“We're leaving." No seventeen -year old girl wants to hear those words escape her mother's mouth. "Leaving?" I asked not believing what I just heard.  I was going to be a senior in high school; my ears must have deceived me, there was just no way we were leaving our home in sunny Maryland. “I got a job transfer and it’s closer to daddy, don’t you miss him?” She asked. When you only see your father three to four times a year, of course you miss him. “Yes.” I said looking down at my feet. “When we move to our new house we’ll get to see him so much more! I know it’s going to be hard on you but it’s the best thing for all of us.” My mom explained and put her hand on my shoulder. “When do we go?” I asked. “Two weeks.” My mom told me, “You might want to start packing.” I sighed and went up the long staircase that led to my room. “Mom!” I called from my room. “Yes, Lydia?” She asked. “Where are we moving?” I asked nervously. “Tennessee.” She called up. I fell down on my bed. Tennessee?! I ran over to my laptop and Google mapped how far away it was.  Almost twelve hours. “It’s far away sweetie I know, but it’s only for a year.” My mom said trying to comfort me. “Daddy’s excited to see you.” She said trying to lighten up the mood. “I’m gonna go out for a little.” I said quietly and grabbed my keys and slipped on my flip-flops.

 
I pulled out my phone from my jean pocked and dialed my best friend, Sienna’s number.
“Hey Lyd!” She squealed
.
“Can you meet me at Starbucks?” I asked quietly.

“Sure thing, you ok?” She asked.

“No.” I cringed and hung up the phone.

Five minutes later, I was sipping on a Frappuccino waiting for Sienna. The bells on the door jingled and I looked at the door, it was Sienna. She spotted me and walked over to where I was sitting. “What is it?” She asked and sat down. “We’re best friends, right?” I asked; she nodded. “Through thick and thin?” I asked; she nodded again. I sighed, “Lydia you’re scaring me what is it?” She asked.

“I’m moving.” I said quietly. “To Tennessee.”

A blank expression covered Sienna’s face. She hugged me over the table. “Lydia, you can’t leave me! You’re my best friend for goodness sakes.” She cried not caring about the people staring at us. “I know, I know. But there is a bright side.” I said as I made circles on her back with my hand. She pulled away, “What bright side? There can’t be a bright side to my sister moving twelve hours away and missing our senior year!” She exclaimed. “It’s only for a year.” I said quietly. “How long until you leave?” She asked. “Two weeks.” I sighed. “Well, these are going to be the most memorable two weeks you’ll have.”
