It had been almost a year since Shelly had moved to Venice "Dogtown" Ca,

She, Tony, Stacy,& Jay were all sitting in the living room, she had been named one of the best female skater/surfers in California.

She broke the silence,

"I wanna go home." Tony looked at her funny.

"What?" Stacy asked just as confused as Tony &Jay

"Yeah visit my family, let them meet my boyfriend, & my best friends." she smiled hoping they felt the same, not saying any thing Tony sat up.

"How soon can you guys pack?" He asked. Shelly didn't say a word, running to her bed room to pack. Jay, Stacy, & Tony laughed. "You two go pack I've got arrangements to make."

They arrived in Greenville Sc the next morning, the small house wasn't very far.

Shelly knocked on the door, her eyes grew wide when the woman open the door.

"Grandma Annie! What are you doing here?" she said Annie threw here arms around the petite girl, "Oh Shelly! How's my baby been?"

"Great, This is my boy friend Tony grandma." shelly said laying her head on Tony's arm

Annie shoke his hand.

"Is daddy home?" Shelly asked

"No honey they moved back to Georgia"

"What! When?"

"About a month ago baby."

"Back to Hillsboro?"

"Yeah, Do you want the address?"

"Please? That would be great."

After Shelly's grandmother gave here the address they left.

"How far is it to Hillsboro?" Stacy asked

"3 ½ hours." Shelly sighed,& added "There's a map in the glove box hand it to me please?" she said to Jay.

She smiled watching the boys sleep, they only liked half an hour.

"Tony? Baby wake up, were here." he opened his eyes

Did I sleep the whole drive? he thought

She gently woke Jay & Stacy,

They climbed out of the car, Shelly knocked on the door.

"Momma!" she said as the woman threw here arms around her…
