Moving
Thank you sooooo much to be great beta – Brennah!
"How are you feeling, sweetie?" He asked.
"Like I was the one that was hit by a truck," Massie responded bitterly.
"I know it's been hard, but you're being very strong." He tried to make her feel a little better, even though it was useless. "Listen, I got a major job offer in Hollywood, and I have been talking to Claire's parents and we decided to move to Beverly Hills." He said.
"Fur real!" Massie screamed. For a second, she almost looked happy. But then her face dropped again. "When?" She asked.
"We are moving in a week and a half; next Wednesday. This is where we will live." He showed her a picture of a huge mansion with a beautiful pool. It was the largest pool she had ever seen! And it wasn't just one either. It was a large pool, then two in front of it. Then on the other side of the house there was another pool! The house was the size of two of her houses, and it wasn't even the whole thing! "You see how there are trees surrounding the house? Well our property stretches on beyond the trees. The guest house is past them and it is also two times the size of ours now. And that building, on the right side of the big pool" he said, pointing to the building, "that is the spa. There are also horse stables, a tennis quart, and a gym beyond the trees. And throughout the estate, there is a magnificent horse trail. There are a few actually, and they are all on our property! Of course Claire and her family will live in the guest house. Inez is coming and we can even bring Bean and Brownie!" He reassured her. "So what do you think?"
"OHMYGOD the house is BEAUTIFUL!!" She screamed. The main house was a nice red brick and it was the largest building she had ever seen. It had a really nice patio and the trees added a nice effect. She couldn't believe that she was going to live there! If only her mom could have come with them. She would have loved this house.
"And your bedroom will be twice the size that it is now, just like everything else." He said.
"Wow! I can't believe it! I have to tell my friends-" She barely finished the word friends when she realized that she would be leaving them. She suddenly grew depressed, and her dad knew exactly why. He figured this would happen.
"Oh, it's okay honey! You can make new friends! And you'll still have Claire!" He tried to lighten the situation, but knew that it was helpless. "Sweetie, I know that all of this is hard for you. It's hard for me too. But were going to get through this! Plus, you'll still have Claire, Inez, Bean, Brownie, - and everything else you want to bring. And you always have me!"
"Can I bring my friends?" Massie asked, even though she already knew the answer.
"No, sweetie, you can't." he said. Then she ran outside to the spa, upset with everything. Her dad didn't bother going after her. He knew that, that would only make things worse.
She sat in the Jacuzzi for a while before she decided to call her friends and tell them the bad news. She made sure that all of them were on the same phone line when she broke the news, she didn't want to have to tell the story anymore times then she had to. As soon as she said the word "moving" they all gasped with horror and shock. They said that they were all coming over and Massie told them to come straight to the spa.
Of course Claire was the first one to the spa. She changed into her bathing suit and got into the hot tub. Massie called Inez and told her to bring the pictures of the house, the school, the neighborhood, the city, and most importantly, a picture of the closest mall, which was within walking distance of Massie's soon-to-be house and school. Inez also brought a ton of snacks and drinks. The girls would be there for a while.
The girls were shocked when they saw where Massie and Claire would be moving to. They were sad though too. Massie and Claire would be gone in ten days! That was only two Tuesday s from now! The girls talked for the rest of the night and they ended up having a sleepover. They hadn't been able to have the sleepover the night before because of the funeral, so they had it tonight instead. They stayed up as late as they could because this might be the last sleepover they would have before Massie and Claire moved.
