Alex POV
I went up to my room and changed into my Pj's. I pulled out a blank notebook and started to write lyrics about how I was feeling. I passed out in the middle of writing.
"ALEX!" My dad called up at me to get up. Today is the day. Officially moving. I got up and changed into my clothes. I put on my white skinny jeans, black and aqua striped shirt, and black knee high boots and my locket. I threw my hair in high ponytail and packed up my few belongings that I didn't pack. I dragged my suitcase down the stairs and into the empty living room that my family was standing in. There was a knock on the door. Max went and opened it to see the Gray's standing there. I ran up to Shane and gave him a huge hug and started to cry.
"Shh." He said rubbing my back.
"Why are you guys here?" I asked pulling away.
"We're driving you and Max to the airport because you guys don't have enough room with your bags." Shane picked up my bag and dragged it out to the car.
"Oh." I jumped into the back with Nate since Max got shot gun. I'm still mad at him but I can't help myself when I'm in a car for 2 hours driving to an airport. I feel asleep again and my dream was when we were little kids.
Flashback
"Alex!" I was swimming in the shallow end of our pool when I was 7.
"Yeah?" I climbed out of the pool and stood at the edge. My mom walked out with Harper and 3 other boys.
"Harper's here and these are my friends kids." I waved to Harper and smiled shyly at the boys.
"I'm babysitting them so be nice." Justin and Max came running out of the house.
"Tag you're it!" Max said tagging me but instead I feel back into the pool. I couldn't swim that well and I fell into the deep end. Nate ran and jumped in after me. I felt someone grab my waist and pull me to the surface.
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome." He said pulling me to the side so I could get out.
"What happened?" My mom said coming back outside to see Nate soaking wet.
"She fell into the pool and I saved her."
"Yup, I feel into the deep end. I'm Alex." I said turning toward him.
"I'm Nate and those are my brothers Shane and Jason."
"I like you. We're gonna be friends forever." I said pulling him into a hug. We walked out onto the grass where Max was chasing Harper. "Do you wanna play."
"Sure."
"WE'RE PLAYING!" I screamed as the boys took of running in random directions and I followed Nate.
End Of Flashback
I was shook awake by Nate. We're at the airport. I climbed out of the car and walked over to get my suitcase from my car. I turned around to see Frankie crying and holding a present.
"Come here." I said bending down to give him a huge hug. He ran over to my and jumped into my arms.
"This is for you." He said handing me the box. I opened it and it was a brand new guitar.
"Aww. Thanks." I said. "I'm going to miss you."
"I'll miss you too."
"When I get in New York I'm going to go on my computer and we're going to video chat ok?" He shook his head yes. I stood back up and gave Shane a huge hug. He hugged back as hard as he could. I pulled away and started to walk toward the airport like my family was. We had 1st class seats and I knew that all I was going to do is write music and play he guitar. Right before I walked in I turned around and waved back at the for one last time. I walked into the airport and handed the attendant my suitcase. I kept walking with my family and my guitar in hand. We got to our terminal and we walked onto the plane. My phone beeped and I took it out of my back pocket.
To Alex
From Nate
I'm sry and I'll miss u.
I put my phone away and I sat down in my seat. We were the only ones in 1st class so I knew I wouldn't bother anyone by playing the guitar. The plane took off and we were flying. I took out my notebook and I started to write a new song.
Everything's cool, yeah
It's all gonna be okay, yeah
And I know maybe I'll even laugh about it someday
But not today, no
'Cause I don't feel so good
I'm tangled up inside
My heart is on my sleeve
Tomorrow is a mystery to me
And it might be wonderful
It might be magical
It might be everything I've waited for
A miracle
Oh, but even if I fall in love again
With someone new
It can never be the way
I loved you
Letting you go is
Making me feel so cold, yeah
And I've been trying to make-believe it doesn't hurt
But that makes it worse, yeah
See, I'm a wreck inside
My tongue is tied
And my whole body feels so weak
The future may be all I really need
And it might be wonderful
It might be magical
It might be everything I've waited for
A miracle
Oh, but even if I fall in love again
With someone new
It can never be the way I loved you
Like a first love
My one and only true love
Was it written all over my face?
Yeah, I loved you like you loved me
Like something pure and holy
Like something that can never be replaced
And it was wonderful
It was magical
It was everything I've waited for
A miracle
And if I should ever fall in love again
With someone new
Oh, it could never be the way
No, it will never be the way
I loved you
I had these done by the time we arrived at the airport. I had played with my guitar and found some chords and rhythms to go with the lyrics. We got off the plane and got a car to drive to our new house. A small town called Westhampton Beach. I was hoping to move into the city but my parents wanted to be in a small town plus this school was apparently a really good school. We arrived at our house and I got out of the car to see what it looked like. I walked up the driveway and stood in front of the house. It was beautiful. I walked up the steps and opened the front door. I walked in to see a spiral staircase and a foyer. I walked up the staircase and saw that there were many rooms up here. I opened the 1st one and it was spacious but I kept going. I opened the next one and I walked inside. It had to other doors. It wasn't the master bedroom because mom said the walls were red and these were white. I opened the 1st door and it was a bathroom with a shower, bath tub/hot tub, and a huge mirror and sink. I walked out and opened the next door. It was a walk in closet. The closet was huge. It had racks and draws and 3 mirrors. I sat down on a little bench that was located in the middle of it. This was my room.
"FOUND MY ROOM!" I yelled from the closet. I walked out to see Justin walking out frustrated. I placed my guitar in the middle of the room and went downstairs to get more of my stuff from the moving truck. I took out my suitcases and dragged them up the stairs one by one until they were all there. I immediately opened the one with my laptop and went online. Frankie was waiting for me. I got a request and I accepted it. They were all there. I talked for what have seemed forever until I had to finish unpacking. I brought all my clothes into the closet so I could but that away while the movers brought in my bed and other heavy stuff. I put all my clothes away and came out to see that everything was set up just in the places I wanted them in. I went over to the window bench and put down my guitar. We started school in 2 days. I went back into my closet and got out my PJ's and went into the bathroom to take a shower. After the shower I went downstairs to eat dinner. I liked it here.
"Alex. Tomorrow your dad is going to Home Depot to get stuff for the house. Do you want to go?" My mom asked me.
"Sure, I guess I can get paint for my room." I finished my dinner and I went upstairs to go to bed. This is going to be fun, I thought. The next morning I did my hair and make up and threw on some hot pink skinny jeans and a white tank top. I finished off my outfit with white ankle boots and I went down the stairs to eat something before we went to the store. We jumped into our car and surprisingly we got to the store without getting lost. I split from my dad so we could get everything we needed. I had a list of things I needed to get. I went to the paint section first. Justin wanted a simple color. Blue. I found a boyish shade of blue and put it in my cart. Max was next. He wanted green and black. I found the ones he wanted and then I put those in the cart. My mom wanted a can of white and a shade of green. I found those and then it was my turn. I found a bright yellow, and a blue that was kind of aqua. I saw that next I had to get a lamp. I went into the lamps and found a cool lamp that I thought my mom would like. I tried picking it up but it was to heavy.
"Here, let me help you." I turned to see a guy about my age standing behind me.
"Ok." I said backing up from the lamp. He lifted it up with east and placed it in the cart.
"There you go." He said.
"Thanks, I'm Alex." I said.
"I'm Taylor." My dad walked up behind him.
"And I'm her father." He said. "And we are leaving." We walked up to the cash register and I grabbed paintbrushes. We drove back home and distributed the things out. I grabbed 2 brushes, my paint, plastic covers for all my things and blue tape for the edges and design. I got up to my room to see that everything was pushed into the middle of the room. I threw a plastic cover on it all and started to paint. I painted one wall blue and yellow stripes, the next just plain blue, the next plain yellow and then the last wall I painted it stripes again. On the blue wall once it dried I splattered yellow on it. One the yellow on I splattered blue on it. I went into the hallway to go see what Justin was doing. He took his blue paint and did stripes with the white original color of the walls. Next I went to see what Max did. He did 2 walls green and 2 wall black. I went back into my room and put all my stuff back in place. I went into my closet and changed into sweatpants and a graphic t-shirt of a local band. Crazed Notes, is what it said and then a picture of the band. I slipped on sneakers and grabbed my i-pod.
"I'm going to take a walk!" I called running down the stairs.
"Wait!" My mom yelled, "Come down into the basement." I went to the basement and turned the corner. When I saw my mom I was speechless. "Take her with you. She yours." She let her go. My mom got me a puppy. An Australian Sheppard.
"I'm going to name her Frankie." My mom walked over and handed me a collar and leash. They are hot pink and black stripes. I put the collar on and clicked on the leash and went outside for a run. I jogged down the rode with Frankie running besides me. I stopped when I saw a park. I lead Frankie over to the swings and I sat down. After 5 minutes I got up and walked home. I started school tomorrow and I was tired. I hoped school was as great as this.
