I was sitting in my room reading a book listening to music when I saw two hands come over the book and rip out my ear buds.
"What the fuck?!?" I yelled.
"Now that I got your attention...." My mom said, then handed my earbuds back to me. "I have some exciting news." She just stood there with a smile.
"Well....?" I said.
"Oh yeah! We're moving to Orange County!" She said jumping up and down like a child at a candy store.
My mouth dropped.
"Shut up!" I said loudly.
"Yeah I got a job! See!" She said shoving a letter ontop of my book.
"When did we agree on this?!? How??? When??? Why???" I asked.
"I applied last week. I didnt think I would get the job. I was going to tell you but then I decided not to because I didnt think I would get the job." She smiled.
"We cant move!!" I said loudly.
"Well why not?" She asked with a frown.
"Because my friends are here! Everything for me is here!" I said pointing to the ground.
"Well you can make new friends and theres things there for you too." She said with a smile.
"I don't want new friends!!! I can't leave Jace!!! I yelled.
"Honey Jace is like your only friend here. In Orange County theres lots of new people to impress." She said shaking her head.
My face fell. How could a mother say that to her daughter? I was so shocked I ran passed her.
"Veronica?!?" I heard her yell as I ran out the door.
I ran acrossed the street to Jaces' house. I didnt even knock. I ran up the stairs to his room.
"Ronnie?" Jace asked surprised.
I bent over trying to catch my breath.
"Okay." I breathed.
"Whats up?" He asked.
"My mom got a job in Orange County! Im moving!!" I said angerliy.
What?!? You can't move!!!" He yelled pulling me into a tight hug.
"What am I going to do without you?" I asked tears coming down my cheeks.
He pulled me away from him, "You'll be fine...Everything will be fine Ron." Hewiped my tears away.
"Any ideas?" I asked.
"Oh maybe we can convince your mom to let you stay here with me." He smiled.
I half smiled, "Not a chance. She still thinks there's something going on between us."
He smiled, "That's true."
"So this is it...Im moving and there's nothing i can do about it."I sighed laying on Jaces' bed." I'll never survive!!" I yelled picking my head up.
"Dont say that Ron" .He said sitting by my feet.
I plopped my head back down. "I have no friends to run to when me and my mom get into a fight...Im damned..." I mummbled into the bed.
"Then make some." He said hitting the back of my cafe.
"You know how hard it is for me to make friends..."I mummbled.
"Its not hard for you to make friends..If that was true then we wouldnt be best friends right now."He said.
I let out a breath.
"And we, I can take a plane out there if its okay with your mom."He said.
I flew up startling him.
"Oh my god thats a great idea!!" I yelled trying to smack his leg but missed and hit him in the crouch.
He let out a groan and rolled over on his side.
I jumped up, "I know what I can do now!! I will tell my mom im not going with her unless she lets you come and visit this summer!! I said loudly. "Sorry about your nuts Jace!!" I called runing down the stairs and out the door.
As I ran acrossed the street my feet burned. I was so shocked I forgot to put on shoes. My mom was in the kitchen on the phone as I slid acrossed the wood floor to a stop.
"She just walked in. I'll call you back." She said and hung up.
"Mom im not going!" I announced.
"What do you mean your not going?!?" She asked with a frown.
"Unless." I held up a finger, "Unless you buy a plane ticket for Jace to come spend the summer with us.
"Jace can visit when I have enough money." She said.
"Yes!" I yelled, punching the air.
"Now go pack!" She said shooing me.
I ran down the hall to my room. I texted Jace to come and help me pack.
"I brought tape." He said.
I nodded putting stuff into a box. He layed on my bed.
"I still dont understand why your mom thinks we are doing something together."He said throwing one of my angry bird stuffed animals in the air and catching it.
I groaned putting more stuff into a box.
"I could act gay if that helps."He said.
"Hey make yourself useful and hand me the tape." I said holding a top of a box closed.
He threw it at me.
"Thanks..." I said sarcasticly.
"Your welcome." He said and continued talking.
I rolled my eyes.
"Jace?" I asked.
"Yeah?"He asked.
"Are you going to help me?" I asked putting my bleach blonde hair up.
He turned to look around the room," Nah it looks like you got it handled." He turned back.
I let out a sigh. I got up and grabbed a pillow. I wacked him one time in the face .I laughed as he looked around.
"What the fuck!" He yelled.
"That was for being a dick and not helping me.This one is just because I want to."I said trying to hit him again.
He grabbed the pillow and yanked it to him pulling me with it. I fell ontop of him. We both laughed, as we shruggled to pin each other. Suddently he stopped and staired behind me. I followed his gaze to see my mother standing at the door.
"And you wonder why I think you guys are a thing..." My mom said shutting my door.
We both laughed. I put my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me.
"Im going to miss you." He whispered.
"Im gunna miss you too." I whispered back before we fell asleep.
I stood in the front yard of my old house hugging Jace. I never wanted to let him go.
"Make sure you send me the ticket." He said still hugging me his chin resting on my head.
"I will." I laughed letting him go.
I looked at him as he bit his lip. His eyes were a baby blue. The color they always got before he cried.
"You'll be fine Jace.You've got more friends then I do." I smiled giving him another hug.
He kissed the top of my head. As I backed away from him he loosened his grip on my hand. I got in the car and waved to him untill I couldn't see him anymore.
"Seat belt." My mom said.
I rolled my eyes and put it on.
"Ronnie please no attitude. We have a long drive ahead of us." She said not taking her eyes off the rode.
I rolled my eyes again and opened my book.
I woke to my mom shaking me.
"We're here." She said getting out.
I turned my head to where the voices were. I smiled when I saw my moms boyfriend wave to me. I havent seen him in a couple months. He moved out here for a job. Just like us. I got out and strechted.
"Hi Ronnie." Jeff said.
I just walked passed them and into the house.
"Shes not very happy about moving." I heard my mom say.
I walked in and closed the door. I waited 5 minutes and then walked back out.
"I hate it." I said to my mom.
She just stared at me.
"Its ugly. Our old house was prettier." I spat.
"Well get over it!!! I'm tired of your attitude!! I understand you dont want to live here but my job is here!!! So get over it!!!" She yelled.
"I hate you." I mummbled going to sit back in the car.
I watched them agure.
"Whatever!!!" I heard my mom say and sit on the front step of the house.
Jeff opened the door," Get your stuff.Your coming to live with me for awhile." He said calmly.
I got out and got my box of clothes and other stuff I would need. I put it in his car and sat in the front seat. He kissed my mother goodbye and got into the car.
"Alright I hope your hungry because im starving." He said while pulling out of the driveway.
He drove to a near by taco bell. He ordered our food and we took it to go.
"Its a condo...I know its not much but it works for now." He said unlocking the front door.
"Oh its fine. It cant be that bad." I laughed.
"You can look around if you would like while I get your stuff."He said and disappeared.
I walked in the living room first. It was very large and plain. The walls were a dark grey with dark grey carpet. There was a flat screen tv and one long leather black couch sitted on a white square carpet. There was like a couple of pictures of him and my mother on the walls. I walked to the kitchen next. It was clean like it hadnt been touched in a while. The counters were black marbel. The cupboards and cabnets were white. The floor was wood. Not a very good combination with the color of the counters or anything eles.
"Okay." I heard someone say, other than Jeff.
I went around the coner to see who it was. It was a tall boy with dark hair.
"Uh who are you?"I asked.
"Oh hi you must be Jeffs step daughter. Im Alec the nieghbor."He said holding out his hand.
I staired at his hand and then back to his face. His eyes were a dark grey. Is everything here grey? I thought to myself. He chuckled nervously putting his hand down.
"Oh I see you already met Alec our neighbor. Hes your age...So I thought why not get you two to meet. So you will have atleast one friend here." Jeff smiled.
I nodded with a half smile.
"Well anyways Alec this is my soon to be step daughter Veronica." Jeff said.
"Nice to meet you Veronica." Alec said.
"Ronnies fine."I said shaking his hand.
"Uh so how you like the place?"Jeff asked.
"Its nice." I said.
He nodded.
"Well im sorry to leave you so soon but I have to get back to work."He said and kissed my forehead and left.
"So are you going to stay here or..." I asked.
"If you want me to." Alec said.
"I really dont care." I said sitting on the couch and grabbing the remote.
"Okay." He said jumping over the couch to sit next to me.
I turned on the tv.
As we watched tv my phone buzzed.
"Oh I almost forgot.Theres money under the couch cushion for you. Its for anything you might need when im gone." Jeff texted.
"Got it and thanks."I texted back.
"Are you going to check how much it is or am I?"Alec asked not taking his eyes off the tv.
"You read my text?"I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders. I rolled my eyes playfully. I got up and checked under the cushion.There was a roll of money with a rubber band around it and a copy of the house key. I grabbed them and started counted the money. My mouth dropped.
"How much is it?" He asked.
"400 dollars." I stuttered.
Alec nodded.
"Thats alot of money Alec...What am I supposed to do with this?"
"Spend it."
"Spend it?"
"Yeah spend it at the mall. Most girls do that." He laughed.
"What am I supposed to spend it on? And how am I supposed to get there?" I asked.
"Spend it on something you like and I have a car." He said still watching tv.
"Uh okay.." I said unsure.
"Okay lets go."He said turning off the tv.
I followed him out the door. I locked the house up and we got into his suv.
"You know you dont have to take me. I can like take a bus."
"Nah its nothing. I have nothing better to do." He said pulling out of my driveway.
We didnt talk much the way there. He parked and we made our way to the front of the mall. It was huge. Three floors is huge to me.
"So where do you want to go first?" He asked.
"Well first
