Hey guys, here is another chapter for you. Love the support and reviews! Keep em' coming :) And I would like to add that I will be taking story ideas. I will use my best writing skills to bring those ideas to life. Thanks guys – ModernFamFics

No one's POV

"What do you mean you're moving?" Jay asked Claire, probably just as curious as everyone else.

"Dad, you just won't get it. It's just tough to talk about." Claire says, fighting tears back as her dad sounded kind of mad about the whole thing.

"Claire, stop, okay? Come stay with me, Gloria, and Manny. We have a lot of room for you guys." Jay says, patiently waiting for Claire to agree with his idea.

"Dad, no. We have to do this. We can't afford anything here." Claire wipes her eyes gently, letting one tear fall.

"You think about it and then we'll talk." Jays says stiffly.

Claire shakes her head to herself. "The plane leaves in a little bit. I'll call you when we get to New York."

Jay sighs long and hard. "Bye, Claire." The phone is quickly hung up on Jay's end. Claire gently puts the phone down, sniffling from holding tears for so long. Just as she was about to let her emotions spill, the phone rings.

"Hello?" Claire almost has trouble getting it out. A familiar voice is heard on the other end.

"You don't have to do this, you know?"

"Mitchell, I just told Dad that you don't understand. We have to do this." Mitchell responds rather quickly.

"No, we do get it. You guys can't afford it here, we know. But that doesn't mean you just leave your family like that."

"Goodbye, Mitch." Claire chokes and hangs the phone up, finally letting tears fall out of her eyes and down her cheeks.

Phil's POV

Phil was packing his bag slowly, upset about the whole move. It hurt him knowing that they would have to move from the beautiful home he and his wife created. Phil knew that this was the best move, well, maybe not the best move, but close to the best. He finishes his bag and closes it up. He sits on the floor, where his bed used to be. Against the wall, he thinks about where life had them headed.

No one's POV

Luke was with Alex, waiting to go. Luke had recently said goodbye to all his friends and he was bummed about it, like any other teenager would be. He didn't want to leave his friends, family, and hell, especially Manny. But it is what it is.

"Ready to go?" Alex piped up to her younger brother.

"Yeah, I guess so." Luke gives half a look over to Alex, looking kind of sad. He then quickly looks down at the plain ground.

"It'll be okay. We'll make new friends, ya know?" That was easier said than done for Alex. She always had trouble making and keeping friends. But with this move it would just make life so much harder for and that scared her a lot.

Luke shrugs but then nods. "Yeah, I know. It shouldn't be too bad." Alex can't help but nod with him, throwing her arm over his shoulder.

Haley's POV

Haley sat on her bed, sad, quiet, and lonesome. She knew that this move totally wrecked her chances of ever being with Andy and he knew it too. Haley had finally found someone who showed her the way, showed her what it was like to be respected and all of that is just gone. How could it be? She thought hard but never really found an answer. She did have the other phone on for a while her mother was talking to her grandfather. Haley just wished her mom would of said yes to her grandpa's offer but it never happened. Life was just a bad storm getting worse and worse for the Dunphy family, but from here, it would have to get better.

Andy's POV

Andy was watching baby Joe like always, feeding him with mashed up peas. Andy couldn't stop thinking about Haley just disappearing on him like that. He knows that it's not her fault but it stills hurt. Andy was in love, deeply in love. Haley really didn't know how deep he fell, but he knew exactly. The way is around her is different, the way he acts. It's just unnatural to act normal around her. She gives him butterflies beyond belief and makes him even goofier than usual. But, oh well, he thought. This must be the end.

No one's POV

Haley followed the family out of the front door of now their old home. The Dunphy's loaded up the minivan, Alex and Haley in the far back of the van. Alex took a glance at Haley, feeling bad for her.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay." Alex says, trying to cheer her up.

"Yeah, that's what they all say about shit like this, Alex. All the fucking time." Haley snaps at her, giving her what looks like evil eyes.

Alex sighs, staring at her. "I know about Andy. And I th…"

"Can you stop with, Andy?! Oh my god. Please don't even bring up his name! I don't want to hear it and get all depressed again!" Haley really snaps, sending her sister into quiet mode. Alex sits back and fastens her seatbelt. She knew that it was time to stop talking.

Pritchett Household

Jay, Gloria, and Manny all sat at the table. Jay and Gloria were drinking coffee while Manny was sipping at some tea. They all sat in silence until Manny broke it.

"So this is it, huh?" His eyes shifting between Jay and Gloria.

"No, no. Of course not Papi. We are family! We stay…"

"Oh stop it Gloria." Jay directs his attention to Manny. "Yeah, this is it. My daughter is moving away for no damn reason and I'm here just not getting why it's like that." Jay stands and storms out of the kitchen, spilling his coffee on the table.

"Jay seems to be taking this really hard." Manny says, watching Jay walk out.

Gloria nods, placing a hand on Manny's shoulder. "Yeah, his daughter is just leaving."

Andy's POV

Andy had put baby Joe to sleep after the commotion that went down in the kitchen and Andy was tired too. Maybe more sad than tired if anything. Andy wanted to wipe Haley out of his mind, out of his damn head. The thought of not having who he wants was eating at his brain like a parasite. Losing Beth was bad but now losing Haley just put the icing on the cake. Andy laid down on the couch and quickly falls asleep.

The Dunphy Family

The Dunphy family arrived at the airport and already had bought their tickets. Haley, Alex and Luke stood behind their parents in that order. Claire had Phil's hand in hers, patiently waiting for their time to hand over their tickets when it suddenly hit her.

"What the hell are we doing? Our family is here, we can't go." Phil and the kids were all equally surprised by the statement. Haley looks at her mother in disbelief.

"Are you saying what I think you are saying?" Haley, Alex, and Luke smile wide, teeth showing and everything. Claire looks to Phil and then the kids.

"We are going to stay with grandpa until we get back on our feet." The Dunphy family all at once, bolted out of line and to the exit.

Pritchett Household

Jay, Gloria, Manny and Andy were all chatting by baby Joe sleeping.

"It's crazy how they are moving." Andy says, watching baby Joe sleep peacefully.

"You're telling me, kid." Jay responds, sipping at some whiskey.

"I guess sometimes you gotta do what's best for you and your family." Andy speaks once more.

"It's just so sad to see the family split up like this." Gloria and Manny pretty much say the same thing, chuckling at the incident. The laughing was broken by the door bell ringing. Andy got up quickly, rushing to the door.

"I got it." He opens the door to a familiar face. Haley Dunphy was back in his presence and he was speechless. Haley looks up at him, smiling.

"Hey."
