Cody's POV

"Hey Cody come on were going to go look at the Hollywood sign today" my little brother Tom said jumping up and down he was really excited to be in California, when we were in the car driving when we first moved here he was just staring out the window pointing out everything after a while I realized that everything was cool to him.

"I really don't want to go" I normally would of been excited to go but today well today was just not a good day today is my ex-girlfriend's birthday and I really wish I could be there and tell her happy birthday in person instead of telling her answering machine because she won't answer my calls.

"Please Cody I don't want to go without you I want to go all five of us" and of course he was making that face that all little kids make that makes you do whatever they want.

"Fine I'll go" right when I said that he ran out of my room and I could hear him yelling to my mom that I was going to come even though I was upset. I was still a little excited myself we had been here for three months and this was the first time any of us were going to see the Hollywood sign.

Ashley's POV

"Ash come on lets go your sweet 16 is only 2 hours away and neither of us are ready" my best friend Samantha was running around trying to find the dress she had bought to wear to my party I knew she was nervous because it was hanging on her door but I figured I'd just wait till she saw it. Or wait for about another minute till I tell her.

"I'm ready remember all I have to do is finish my hair and I'll be done" I had been planning for this party for months actually Sam and Joe helped me plan it well we kind of had to beg Joe to help he kept saying how sweet 16s were for girls and how boys shouldn't even help plan one but after a while he gave in.

"Uh, where is my dress... ash please help" I laughed a little and she turned around "you know where it is don't you?" I laughed even harder after that and pointed to her door.

"It was there the whole time?"

"No it kept moving it was over there then it was over there" she just looked at me like I was insane I'm not sure if she actually thought I thought it was moving or not "Sam of course it was right there the whole time"

"Okay well I am going to go get changed I guess you'll go home and make sure the decorations and everything are perfect" she said rolling her eyes on the word perfect.

"Yeah I guess I will..." I said as I stood up and headed for the door.

"Oh and don't worry it won't be perfect" I said as a joke but I meant it too it wouldn't be perfect the only way it would be perfect is if Cody was there and I knew he was all the way across the country and there was no way he would come and plus he thinks I hate him so that's another reason why he won't come.

Cody's POV

We have been staring at the sign for five minutes now "Okay I really don't think the sign is going to change no matter how long we stare at it" it really wasn't that amazing I mean yeah it was at 1st but not after five minutes.

"but what if it does and we missed it?" I turned my head and looked at my little sister Alli.

"Alli its not going to change its a sign" right when I said that I saw dad turn around to look at us

"Cody it was just a joke" like I didn't know that or something.

"I know that and I was just saying something back because I wanted to talk" they both looked at each other confused and that actually made me even more mad it was like they forgot all about Australia and that it was Ashley's birthday today they already have lives here Alli has about million friends, but me well I decided to just keep in touch with my old friends I mean why would I need new ones?

"Cody what's wrong you seem really mad at us and we haven't even done anything?" Tom looked at Alli after he said that and shook her head like she was agreeing.

"What's wrong with me is I am the only one who misses Australia, we had friends there we lived there our whole lives and now you two both act like we have never even been there before" I yelled that so there were a few people staring at us now and Tom was now standing next to me.

"I miss Aussie too" I looked down at Tom and then I turned around and walked to Mom's car hoping that once I got in they just wouldn't talk about what had just happened.
