"Why are we moving?!" I was overwhelmed when I said those words, I never thought I would have to say them again. It scared me, I was tired of moving all the time!
"Lucy, I'm getting transferred again," my dad Charlie said to me.
"I don't understand. I thought that we were going to stay in Broken Arrow until I graduated! This is so sick! I hate moving!" I said those words with so much hate and anger in my voice that I made my parents flinch. I don't normally talk to them like that. I finally got the courage to ask my parents the question that was hunting my mind since they told me we were…..I couldn't even think the word. "Where are moving to?"
"Malibu, California." My mom, Leah, told me.
"Why?!" Before they could answer I was already running up the stairs, to my room. I was so angry and sad that I didn't want to know why. Malibu! What was my dads boss thinking! California?! I started to cry when my mom walked into my room. I was so mad I didn't feel like looking at her!
"Lucy?" My mom said.
"What is it Mother?" I still didn't look up at her.
"Hon, I know that you don't want to move, but this will be the last time we move. I promise. Also, I don't see why you are worrying. It's going to be so simple for you to make friends! Your gorgous, nice, outgoing!" I can't believe she's promising again! Also, It will be hard to make friends. I'm not what you considered prep.
"Thats what you said about moving to Oklahoma.'I promise.' I can't believe you had the nerve to say that! Again!" My voice cracked as I said those last words. Why was she even talking to me? It's not like she can cheer me up. Right now I can pretty much say that I hate my parents. Not that I would tell them that because I really do love them. "Mom, can you leave." that wasn't a question.
"Fine. You have school tomorrow anyway." Once she left I cried myself to sleep. My alarm clock went off at 6:00 like it normally does. I took my shower like I always do, dried and straightened my hair, clipped in the extesions, put on my favorite skinny jeans, sky eats airplane shirt, and my favorite white flats, and glasses. When I was done, I looked in the mirror, There's no way i'll fit into California. Im pale skinned, black hair thats choppy and poofs at the top of my head with blue highlights. I'm 5.2, and pretty decent size for my age, 15. I'm to pale to tan, I'm whiter than snow! Seriously! I'll just burn to a crisp. All of a sudden I heard a horn honk, Crap! Ashley! she's going to be pissed. How long has she benn out there? I rushed down stairs, still to angry to tell my parents bye. When I got in the car Ashley said something that I didn't relieze when I was looking in the mirror.
"Dang! how much sleep did you get last night? Your eyes are freakin red and bloodshot!" She said surprised, I really wish that I put on makeup this morning. I was to sad to think about it.
"Ashley, I need to tell you something, I'm not sure how you'll take it." I stuttered on the last word.
"Okay? what is it?" she asked nervously.
"Well...ummm...lets see. Do you remember my, well, previous life?"
"Um, yeah. What about it?"
"I'm moving again. My dad got transferred to Malibu, California." I started to sob on the last sentence.
"What?! But they promised! They can't do this to you! It's freaking wrong!" she said, starting to break into sobs, like me.
"I know! I hate it when they promise!" I started to cry now.
"What am I going to do?! I'm going to lose my best friend and now I'm going to be the only skater on the Varsity Cheer Squad!" She started to cry with me. Her mascare and eyeliner started to smear down her face. I was suddenly glad that I didn't put anything on my face this morning. It would be a mess at school.
"I know, I'm sorry. It's my parents fault, not mine."
"When are you moving?"
"I'm not sure." We were at the school now. "We need to try and stop crying now, really really try." I said trying to make my voice sound even. That was impossible.
"Okay let us first re-do our makeup. We look hideous." She tried to laugh but it came out in a bigger sob. She handed me her eyeliner and mascre. Probably to try and hide our red eyes. We finished with our makeup. It took everything in me to try and stop crying. How am I going to break this to Ryan and Matt? We walked into the building. I saw Matt and Ryan walking toward us with bright smiles on their faces. We couldn't help but smile to, they were just to gorgeous. Ryan had beautiful natural black hair and gorgeous green eyes, he wore my favorite shirt. Guns N Roses. Matt well he looked alot like ryan but not as tall and he had black hair with brown eyes.
"Hey LuLu, How have you been? I've missed you so much!" When Ryan said that, he pulled me into a big hug, then sat me done and kissed my forehead. He really knows how to make a girl feel better. He shook me when I didn't answer. That's when Ashley started to cry again. Matt asked her what was the matter and all she did was look at me. That's when I started to cry to. Ryan pulled me into his arms and asked me what was the matter.
"I'm moving Ryan. To California." I nearly cracked on every word.
"No! You can't! You can't leave me! I can barely be away from you for a week, how will I be able to live if your gone forever! I love you Lucy!" That's when Ryan started to cry too. I never seen him cry before. My heart broke even more when I saw him cry and when he finnally said that he loved me. I couldn't bare this! Do my parents not releize what their doing to me and my friends?! I'm sure they do!
"I love you too, Ryan." All of a sudden the bell rang. Ashley and Matt went to their class. Even though it was just me and him in the hallway, he still bent down and whispered in my ear.
"Lets ditch, I want to spend more time with you before you move." We ran out the school doors, hopped in his car and drove off.
"Wow! Ryan you really now how to make a girl feel better! So what took you so long to finnally tell me you love me?" I was glad that we were alone for me to be able to ask that. That's when Ryan stopped at a dead end and got out of his car, and looked me straight in the eye and grabbed my hands in his. My hands felt so small in his.
"When I was away, for that whole week in Pennsylvania, the only thing i could think about was you. That's when I releized that I loved you. Its hard for me to be away from you." We were walking onto a trail now. It was so peaceful, I forgot all about moving when I was with Ryan and in these woods. We kept walking until we got to a little meadow. It was full of tulips and roses and all different sorts of flowers, it smelt very sweet. I looked up and saw that Ryan was staring at me. "What?" I asked a little confused.
"I'm sorry, it's just that your so beautiful and I don't want you to move. I want to be with you forever." He blushed as he said the last line.
"I do too." That's when it happened. He took my face in his hands and leaned in closer, then his lips covered mine. They were so soft and gentle. He realesed me and looked into my eyes he said something but I was to mesmerized to make out what he said. Then he leaned in again and we melt into our second kiss. His hands slid down my arms and wrapped securley around my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck, as I did that I felt a tear trickle down my cheek. That's when reality hit me. I started to cry. He stopped kissing me.
"What's wrong?" He asked with so much concern.
"I'm just sad because I'm going to have to leave you soon. I don't want this to end!" I started to fall to my knees but he caught me, He's so strong!
"I know, but it doesn't have to be so soon, we have all day to be together!" He trapped a tear that I must have missed when I wipped my cheeks.
"Yes, I know we have all day, but this will probably be the only time I'll be able to spend this much time with you!" My voice kept cracking, it was so embaressing!
"Let's forget about you moving. Let's forget that we might get grounded for ditching school! The only thing we need to worry about is you, me and this magical meadow."
"Okay." He started to kiss me again, but I still couldn't stop the tears from streaming down my face. He lifted me up where my feet were no longer touching the ground, I wonder how much more taller he is than me. Probably a foot! I'm not for sure how long Ryan and I were in the meadow, teasing each other, laughing , and best of all...kissing. Kissing Ryan was so magical. Our bodies were like two puzzle pieces that finnally found their match. I was aware that it was dark out and that I had to leave. I didn't want to leave him! I pulled away from his face. "We need to go."
"No! We don't have to! Not right yet!" He was pleading with his adorable puppy eyes.
"My parents will be wondering where I am." I didn't want to leave. It was like Ryan was my happy place.
"Okay, I'll take you home, but at least let me pick you up for school tomorrow." I agreed. I rode on his back all the way to his car. He sat me done gently into the seat, gave me quick peck and went over to the drivers side. We pulled up in my drive way. I wasn't ready to get out. I was very much thankful that I was small enough to cross the seat and sit in his lap. I kissed him. He pulled back gently.
"Mmmmm...I love you." That was all he said. We sat like that forever just staring in each others eyes. It got to the point where I had to get out of the car before my parents came looking for me. I kissed him good bye one last soft deep kiss. Then I said that I loved him then ran inside my house. My parents were sitting on the couch waiting for my return, I guess.
"Finnally! Your home!" My mom yelled nearly exploding with relief. "Where have you been?" she asked.
"Well, I'm going to tell you the truth. I got to school, saw Ryan and Matt told them the news. Ryan got really sad and asked me to ditch school with him so we could spend all day with each other before we...moved,"-I twitched when I said that-"Mom, he loves me and I love him. I don't want to leave!" I nealy started to cry when I said that. "When are we moving?"
"Tomorrow, at 8:00." She told me solemnly.
"What?! We haven't even finished packing!" I yelled every single one of those words.
"All we packed was your clothes and stuff that's necessary. We are moving into a newly refurbished house. Furntiure and everything is already there."
"What's wrong with our furniture, actualy what's wrong with this house?!" After that I stormed upstairs, slammed my door shut, and called Ryan, Ashley, and Matt. They were all going to ditch school tomorrow to come and say goodbye to me. I cried myself to sleep. I was awoken by something hitting my window. I really didn't feel like getting up to see what was going on, until I heard someone say my name. I got up and looked at my window. There was Ryan. I opened my window and told him that I would be down in a second.
"What on earth are you doing here?" Not that I cared, I was just so happy to see him. I didn't wait for him to answer. I wrapped my arems around his neck and lefted up so I could press my lips to his.
I went back inside after I made out with Ryan again. Got about 2 more hours of sleep until my mom woke me up at 6. I guess she packed my alarm clock. I got up, did my normal routine. Threw on some dark gray bermudas and my A Skylit Drive shirt. I went down stairs saw Ryan, Ashlie, and Matt. They all three came running to hug me bye. All of us were crying now, especially Ashley. Ashley and Matt backed off of me and it was just Ryan and me. This is just to sad, I don't want to say goodbye to him! I didn't care that my parents were watching Ryan and me. He pulled me in a tight hug and crushed his lips against mine. My parents interrupted us telling me that we had to go. My parents had to litterally Pull me off of Ryan, but I finnally let go. I got in the car and drove off to the airport. My glasses started to fog up in the car.
