"Dad come on, we don't need to move all the way to America, just to escape our problems." I sigh as I put my head on my hands, trying to think of another way to go about the whole issue.

"Please Dad, I have a life here, I have an amazing life here. I have friends." I emphasized the word, and Dad sighed as I did,

"I am sorry Rikki, but there is this small town, it's a cheap place to live. Please Rikki, I tried looking in Australia. I really did, but it's all too expensive. It's too hard. I am sorry Rikki, but we have no choice."

"Fine." I mutter as I get out of my seat and walk towards the door to break the news to my best friends. I shake my head as I walk out and fold my arms over my chest, ignoring the tears running down my face. It wasn't fair, I didn't want to move. I loved it here. I wanted to stay here forever, with my two best friends and fellow mermaids. I loved it here, why couldn't he just find somewhere here cheaper? I didn't want to move all that way, I would never see Emma or Cleo. I wouldn't be able to come back for visits all the time; Why did he have to go there? Why do I even have to go with him?

I sigh as I realize he couldn't cope without me, and I don't think I would like to leave him alone. It wouldn't be fair on him. I know that much...

I look out at the sea, probably the last time I will ever see it. I can see Mako from here, it's so beautiful, there is never going to be anything like it where I am going, there will never be another Mako, I would never see it again. With my head hanging down, I enter JuiceNet, trying not to think about telling them, it is going to be so hard. I carry on looking down as I sit next to them, and play with the napkin in front of me.

"What is it?" Emma seems wary, I rarely show emotions like this, I ain't really that type of person I guess.

"I... Dad is taking me away. We are moving." I look away from them, and then back towards them when I catch Zane's eye. We broke up last week, he has been planning something since, I can tell. I shudder at the thought, he knows everything about me, and just because we broke up he is going to betray my trust. He is going to prove Emma, Cleo and Lewis right and there is nothing I can do about it, I can't stop him doing anything anymore, he is not mine, and I don't think he ever will be again. Even though I love him..

"You're moving?" Cleo is crying already as I nod and I watch as Lewis puts his arm around her,

"When?" A shocked Emma looks at me, I shrug

"We are leaving tomorrow." I mutter,

"I only just found out before you have a go at me."

"Why so soon?' I noticed the hurt in Emma's voice straight away, and I winced a little,

"Dad... can't handle the bills anymore. He has found somewhere cheaper..."

"Where? It won't be too far away will it?" Lewis grins at me and squeezes Cleo, I shake my head at him as I take a deep breath.

"America, a small town called Forks."

"But... it's so far away. I can't believe this is going to happen."

"Yeah me neither." I mutter as I slowly get up,

"Want to go for a swim? I need to get out of here." I glance over at Zane, who is still staring at me, and Emma nods quickly, giving Zane a dirty look on our way out. I sigh as I look over at the water,

"I really will miss it all."

"I know." Cleo stands by my side and grabs my hand, trying to smile through her tears,

"We will meet you there Lewis." She calls behind her, I don't look behind me just in case Zane is still staring, just in case I have to see that hate in his eyes again. I can't even look at him anymore, when I did nothing wrong. I shake my head at the thought and walk to the edge of the pier with Emma and Cleo, looking around and seeing nobody looking we quickly jump in. I smile when I hit the water, I will really miss this feeling.

I don't want to go...
