*opening introduction*

Glancing out into the distance at the bright lights and tall buildings Jamie came to the conclusion that nothing would ever be the same again. Her and her family were moving all the way from Tennessee to the hustle and bustle of LA. Jamie's thoughts on this move were as you can imagine not very pleasant, her typical teenage ways were always her downfall when she tried to act more grown up. In reality everyone including Jamie knew why the move was happening, her mum had took a slight interest or you could say leading into an obsession about the 'Murder' house from which just a year ago another family had died while living there. No, Susan was not willingly wanting to put her family in any danger it was as she puts it "just another life experience". Jamie herself never believed in ghosts or anything of the supernatural for that matter but she was just too much of a country girl and KNEW if she attended school in LA she would be a great big target for the praying bullies. Jamie's little brother Cole was more enthusiastic about it, tugging on her sleeve as she continued to drift off in her head as she glanced out of the car window. Him being only 10 it was to be expected but sometimes she just wish he would grow up. Jamie's dad Jason was the one sitting on the shelf, on one hand he wanted to support his wife but somewhere in his head he knew that this 'life experience' was made up so that he would agree to shift the family to a whole new state, no questions asked, pick up and move on. Never the less the final decision was made; the Dawson's were moving to LA, into the notorious 'murder' house.

Jamie looked down at her iPod, the volume was only half way but it still wasn't loud enough to block out the sound of her brothers PSP, annoyed at the distraction from her thoughts she ended up just locking it.

"seriously Cole, could you be just abit more considerate? creep" she folded her arms.

Cole didn't take his eyes of the screen he was too in groused into this game to hear or even notice that Jamie was talking to him. She sat back in her chair with a sigh before adjusting her neck rest. As if this day couldn't get any better she thought to herself. Meanwhile, in the front seat Susan had a large map open, navigating was never her strongest point but she wanted to help her husband anyway she could.

"according to the map we are almost there babe"

"Babe? am i dreaming or did you just call Jason Dawson MY DAD a babe?" Jamie eyes widened.

Susan began shaking her head "yes i did. Whats wrong with that?" Unable to answer without a sarcastic comment Jamie just shrugged as she unlocked her iPod.

"dad, babe.. whatever!" she knew this was going to sound cleeshay but she had no other way of wording it.. "are we there yet?"

Jason looked at her through the side mirror "soon, just this last turn up ahead" he smiled.

Jamie gave him the thumbs up, thank god she thought, not long before i can be out this car and go for some fresh air, that's if there's such a thing in LA. she sighed "and mum, don't expect me to be starting any new school until im at least settled into the house first.. it will be hard enough for me to get used to the house never mind the classy schools they have here."

a look of concern spread across her mothers face "don't worry, the school ive got you into has a 0 tolerance on bullying, anyway, i wont make you start till Monday" By this time Cole has finally shut his PSP down and was as usual listening to everybody's conversations..

"haha! Jamie's gonna get bullied" his most annoying obnoxious laugh followed his outburst.

"coming from you! yeah, you will definitely be bottom of the food chain." she chuckled "that's if you aren't already"

Cole punched Jamie's arm leaving a red mark "i hate you! just go and die why don't you"

Jamie snarled at him "believe me, some times i wish i could" this was when Susan interrupted, she shuffled round in her seat to face them both.

"that's enough, pack it in! Listen, this move better be the making of yous two. The way you both carry on its as if you are just strangers.." Jamie laughed and shook her head. "i didn't even wanna come here mum! but that's the thing you know, can't legally leave your parents until you are 16.." she rested her head on her hand slightly. "oh but don't worry, after i turn 16 im outta here. No more moody Jamie to deal with" Susan was about to loose her temper "i just don't.." she was interrupted by her husbands high pitched outburst; "we are here everyone!"

She turned round and grined at her husband just as he planted a soft kiss on her cheek. "home sweet home kids" Jason said as he parked the car. "isn't it marvelous guys?" she loved her dad but never knew why he had to always make such a fuss about everything "yeah.. amazing dad" she answered while putting her iPod into her bag and zipping it shut. Rolling down her window and looking up at what is now to be her new home Jamie suddenly thought to herself; what have we got ourselves into.
