A/N: Oh my. I'm sorry for the delay. I had a lot of things to do over the summer. Anyways, thanks for those who reviewed.

After a week, Rachel's dad signed the papers and they were free. Shelby couldn't be more happy. Rachel, on the other hand, was still upset because they are going to move to Ohio. Which means new people, new school, new friends. At least they have no connections to him now.
Rachel went home from her ballet class and changed. She called Dianna, her best friend.
"Hey Di," she said quietly.
"Hey yourself," Dianna wasn't quite sure about what she's going to say, "How are things? When are you moving?"
"Everything's fine. We're moving tomorrow. That's why I wanted to call you. Whether I like it or not, I have to-to say goodbye," Rachel started crying.
"Do you wanna go out today? We can go to a coffee shop and talk," she suggested
"That would be great. What time?"
"5 PM is okay."
"Okay, see ya soon. Bye Di!"
"Bye Rach! Promise me you won't forget me?"
"Of course, you'll always be one of my best friends. You're practically my sister!"
"I'm hanging up now," Dianna said.
They met at the café and talked for what seemed like hours. Dianna said, "So what are your plans when you get there?"
"Actually, I have no idea. Might go to school. Go to some singing and dancing classes," she shrugged.
"Oh god, Rach. I'm so gonna miss you!" she trapped Rachel in a hug as they headed out.
When Rachel got home, she turned on the TV and watched Funny Girl. In the middle of the movie, she can feel her eyes slowly starting to droop and she let herself drift of to sleep. She didn't even hear Shelby coming in.
"Rachel, I'm home!" Shelby yelled. Where's Rachel? She heard the TV talking and saw Rachel lying on the couch, sleeping. "Honey? Wake up. Go to your room. You need lots of sleep because we're leaving tomorrow!" she said the last part in a sing-song voice.
"Ugh," Rachel grunted as she stood up.
"By the way, have you packed everything?" Shelby asked.
"Yeah, Mom. I ate dinner already at the café, so don't worry about me. I'm going to sleep now, okay? G'night. Love you."
"G'night. Love you too, baby girl." She kissed her forehead and let her go to her room.
Am I doing the right thing for us?
The night went by so fast. When Rachel woke up, Shelby was already in the kitchen, dinking her coffee. "Morning, Rach. Are you excited?" she asked, grinning from ear to ear.
"Morning, Mom." She said, not bothering to answer her Mom's question. She poured herself a cup of coffee and ate a toast. After eating, she went to her room and got ready.
"Rachel, c'mon! We're gonna be late already!" Shelby shouted from the door.
"I'm coming!" she shouted back. This is it, Rachel. You're going to move into a new town. Don't let other people get to you. You're going to be fine.
The flight was kind of tiring for Rachel. They hailed a cab as soon as they got their luggage. She was shocked when she saw the house they're gonna be living in from now on. It's her grandparents' house. It was huge, unlike the other houses she saw there. It has a pool and her room is bigger than her room in New York. Though her room needs cleaning first and oh god, the paint is horrible. She listed things to buy for her room. She showed it to Shelby and she said that they'd start redecorating her room first thing tomorrow.
She was chilling in her new room when she realized that it's Friday today. It means that she's going to school on Monday. Shit. "Mom!" she called while rushing to go downstairs.
"What?"
"Am I going to school on Monday?" she asked.
"Yes, you are. I've already enrolled you. I'm going to give you your schedule later. How's Lima so far?"
"Mom, we've been here for a few hours. I haven't even seen anything yet." she said.
"What do you want for dinner? We can go out or we can order pizza. What do you think?"
"Let's just order pizza. I'm kind of tired so I'll be upstairs. Call me when it gets here."
Like what she told Shelby, she called her and they ate. It was more eating, less talking this evening. They said good night and then both went to their rooms to sleep.
Over the weekend they redecorated Rachel's room. They changed the wall color to a light yellow and bought musical note stickers as well as gold stars to put in her room. They bought a new bed and new bed sheets to put into her room. She has her own walk-in close which is fantastic because she has tons of clothes. Literally. She had bought a new desk and a lamp. It was a tiring weekend and she has school tomorrow. Yikes.
