...And here it is Chapter 1 of my new story! Enjoy!

I have a special connection with my iPod. Every time something important is about to happen or there's something I need to pay attention to it always plays the right song for that moment or situation. This time it all started when I heard "Leaving On A Jet Plane' by John Denver, I don't even remember putting that song on it but I just knew something bad was about to happen! And guess what it was right; the very next day my aunt told me some especially troubling news…

"Wait what...what did you say? We're moving to Lima...Lima OHIO?! Are you serious?" I know I shouldn't be yelling at her but come on seriously?

"I know you're probably a little upset..." She tries to start but I loudly cut her off.

"A little...?! You're joking right? You promised me, you said all I had to do was trust you and you would always keep my best interest at heart, and I asked you for one thing, just one: that we NEVER go back to Lima EVER again! Hmm… weird how I only have one request and I don't even get that!" Sarcasm is a defense mechanism, sue me!

"This is a great job opportunity and it would mean we don't have to move again."

"Oh yeah Lima would be the place we wouldn't have to leave from. I'd rather stay in Poughkeepsie than Lima!"

"Don't you want to have memories with other people than just me?"

"I have plenty of memories with plenty of people I don't need any more especially not there!" I huff as I walk over to the couch. Lima was one of the places I had no interest in ever going back to.

"Just hear me out…" She asks as she sits down next to me, "…As you know I went to my 10th class reunion last month and while I was there I realized you won't have that. You have never been at one school for longer than 2 years since you came to live with me, if that keeps up you'll have 10 class reunions to go to instead of one and you won't know anyone there, is that really what you want?"

"I honestly don't mind; you know how I feel about people."

"I think it would be nice for you to stay at one school for the rest of your high school career. Make friends that you'll know longer than a year, spend the summer with them then go back to school knowing you'll see them again. I know these things might not seem important now but, when you look back on this time I think you'll be very thankful…" She pauses and I know she's hesitating, deciding whether or not to say what else is on her mind. "…and you could possibly see him again…"

"NOPE…NO…NO…HELL NO, if I never see him it will be too soon! I understand your desire to make me less antisocial but if this is a ploy to get me to talk to him again you are literally wasting your time." Anger is also a defense mechanism of mine, definitely one on the list of things I need to work on!

"Calm down, just calm down, I was merely suggesting. You don't have to do anything you don't want to. Can I just ask that you please keep an open mind?" She asks walking toward the kitchen.

"You can ask but I make no promises." She was right; I meet a lot of people at a lot of different schools. It would be nice to be able to say: 'See you next year' or 'have a great summer, can't for you to tell me about it', but I'm not going to tell her that, I refuse to give her the satisfaction.

"So are you on board…?" She yells from the kitchen. I'm pretty sure she's only asking because we promised to agree on every decision that involves both of us, unless it's one of those 'parental' moments.

"What am I supposed to say 'no'…? I don't even know why you asked; I'm going upstairs to pack my stuff and think about the death from mediocrity I'm doomed to!" I yell as I walk up the stairs. I've been living with my aunt since I was 9 after my parents died. We have a very Lorelai/Rory Gilmore Girls relationship, with her being a recruiter for the Air Force we tend to move around a lot. We made a deal when I was younger that if I dealt with the moves well and behaved myself then we would always be equal in decision making. That hasn't always been true, you know since she has to be an adult sometimes, but for the most part the arrangement has allowed for the best possible childhood a girl who lost both her parents could ask for.

While I was upstairs packing, once again, unbeknownst to me my aunt was on the phone with the very person I never want to speak to again.

"Well she knows…I don't know if this is such a good idea she stills has a lot of anger, this could backfire horribly…" She semi-whispers into the phone trying to make sure Adrianne doesn't hear her.

"I know it could Arianne but I miss her so much and I'm in a much better place now than I was 7 years ago. I know it won't be easy but I think with a little bit of work she will forgive me." He tried to ease her fears.

"Let's just be clear here, I am encouraging forgiveness not a relationship. I think she needs to get past her anger to be happier and to start letting people in, but I'm not going to force her to talk to you again. If she decides she doesn't want a relationship with you, you need to accept that and don't try to force her into anything she's not ready for." She Warns.

"I completely understand but I just know that as soon as she sees me and realizes how sorry I am for the mistakes I've made, we'll be right back on the road to recovery." He assures.

"Ok whatever you say but at the end of the day I will do what's best for her and if that means keeping her away from you I will not hesitate…" She starts to rant.

"I get it you don't have to give me the speech again. I'll call you next week!" He rushes in order to avoid another lecture and quickly hangs up.

...So how did you like it?! I wouldn't want to move to Lima either! Chapter 2 shall be posted soon!
