Moving Day

"Come on Steph, we are ready to 't you want to see the new house?"I hate moving.I hate it even more than I hate my annoying, spoiled, bratty brother. This home was fine how it is! Why did we have to move."Coming Dad." I grabbed the last box that was in my room and headed for the moving box had all of my treasured memories in it.I kept it in my lap instead of puting it in the back where it can be crushed by all the shifting furniture.

My dad has never told me and my brother why we had to move, but I think that it has something to do with my mom being in 's Asylum for the Mentally Insane. She was an escavator. She came home from digging one night and she started to act very strange. She started to try hurting herself and others. When it was my brother's birthday, me,him, and my dad went to go out to eat. My mom insisted that we went without her; that she'd have a surprise for him when we got home. Well, when we went home, we found her standing in a pool of blood holding a bloody knife. She killed our dog. She then slit her throat. We called the ambulance right away.

When she finally was stable and came to, she started to go nuts again. She threw things at nurses and doctors, she even tried to slice herself with anything she could get her hands on. We had no choice but to send her to . She would return to herself sometimes, but she wouldn't even remember what happened the night before.

My dad decided that it was time to get a new start, and what better way to do that is with a new house. The problem is that it's out of Arizona. It's all the way across the United States. Goodbye my friends; the ones I grew up with and known my whole life. What am I going to do when I get to Boston? I'll have no friends.I won't know any thing about Boston. I'll be a total outcast!

Billy, on the other hand, likes the fact that we are moving. He thinks of it as an adventure. Silly Billy and his dream world. He will never survive the real world with his attitude. "Vroom vroom, Billy said imitating the sounds that a car would make,"Daddy are we leaving now?" "Yes, Billy we're leaving. Say goodbye to the house"Billy said bye to our house and every other house, animal, and person we passed by. This was going to be a long drive
