The next was day at school was boring and miserable. Guess who got back together last night? You've guessed it. Ashley took back that smug bag Aiden. Why would she even take him back! I found out why she dumped him from Abby. She told me that he cheated on her with another girl one night when he was drunk. What do you expect from a guy like him? And why the hell would she even want him back? This is why im so confused.
But yet, I could have had her if I wanted her. What am I saying? Of course I wanted her, it's just, she could have told me earlier. Maybe im just making a totally big mistake about everything. Maybe I shouldn't have pushed her away when she was trying to get me. Maybe I shouldn't have ever let her in? I don't know. I just hope that my mom has some good news for me. But the way her voice sounded last night, sounded like it was going to be good for them and bad for me. I hate that.
I get to my house around 6 today. My mom doesn't like picking me up from school anymore. She doesn't have a problem dropping me off because she doesn't want me to skip school. I've done it once with Rachel back in middle school and she found out and totally flipped.
I walk down my driveway to see a U-Haul. Alan must be moving in finally. I wonder what took him so long. I walk over to the U-Haul and notice that he has a lot of stuff. I scan over the boxes and there are a lot of different sizes. Why do we need this much of his stuff?
I slowly walk into the house, scared of what I might be thinking of is true. I set my backpack down by the front door. I hear my mom and Alan whisphering in the kitchen and I walk slowly over to the door. I stand there quietly and I listen in on what they're saying, "… I know Al; it's just that I don't want her to have a complete tantrum about it." My mom says. I wonder what she is talking about and the last time I had a tantrum was when I was a baby, Mother!
"Paula, sweetie, she's a big girl now and she can handle the news. It's only a few miles away." I think im going to be sick. First the pet names and now I think it's true that im moving. We're moving. Sorry.
"Honey, you don't know my daughter. She's--" I can't take this anymore.
I walk into the kitchen and my mom stops talking and they both stare at me, "So we're moving?" I ask bluntly
"Were you eavesdropping?" Alan asks serious. He talks to me like he's my father. He's got it all wrong buddy
"Alan." My mom says. At least she still somewhat cares about me. She looks back over at me, "Sweetie, this is what we need to talk about." Gag me please. She just called me sweetie after she used that name on him.
I look at her, "Im not moving mom." I tell her
My mom sighs and looks over at Alan. She sends him an 'I told you so' look. I glare at the two of them. How about I put them in my shoes and have them be me for a day. See how I live and why I don't want to move. "It's only, what? 30 miles?" My mom looks over at Alan. A few miles my ass.
"More like 45 but that doesn't matter. You need to get out of here. You're a target now for that man they haven't captured." Alan sticks his hands in his pockets
Where does he get off on acting like my dad? "Um ok like I care. Im still not moving." I turn to leave but my mom stops me. She puts her hand on my shoulder and stares at me.
"Spencer, you are moving--"
I cut her off, "Then I'll live with dad." I don't want too, but I don't want to leave here
"You can't Spencer and you know that. Courts order." She removes her hand from where it was
"Screw the damn court order! Im not moving!" I run up stairs and into my room. It's almost completely packed. Oh my god what is happening!
I walk over to a box that is labeled clothes and I start taking everything out and putting it back to where it belongs. My mom knocks on the door and I turn around and stare at her. "Spencer I know you don't want to move--"
"What gave that away? Me telling you I didn't? Or me unpacking my stuff that someone else packed." I turn away from her and take more clothes and stuff out of the boxes
I hear my mom sigh and I see something land on my bed. I wait for her to close the door before I see what she threw on the bed. I walk over to it and pick up my phone. She got it fixed for me. I sit down on my bed and the first thing I do is call Ashley. "What do you want Spencer?" She asks in an annoyed tone
I don't say anything at first and then I swallow hard, "Im moving." I say it really quietly. She doesn't say anything. She's completely quiet. "Ash, say something." I say quietly. Im already on the verge of tears
"You… you can't move." That's the quietist sentence I have ever heard her speak
"I know." My voice is cracking, "I don't want to. They're making me." One tear drops down and it landed on my thigh. The thigh that Ashley once had her hand on.
"Where?" She asks like a little kid wanting a cookie before dinner
"I don't know. They said somewhere 45 miles away from here." I sniff a little
I hear her sigh, "Can I come over?" She asks still in that quiet voice
A smile dances at my lips, "Yeah."I know, it was really short, but I wanted to update.
