1079 Words
Chapter One It's been a few days now since Mum and Dad told me and my two older brothers the news of their break up and divorce, and now every thing I owned was boxed up and all ready to be picked up and shipped out to our new home. Mum wanted to start over, She told me that I didn't have to go with her, That it was completely up to me, but I couldn't leave her on her own and I sure as hell wouldn't be able to stay here and live with my Dad and brothers... I would go crazy. I really didn't want to move away. Away from my friends,  My family, My school, My teachers, Any of it. But I would. I would for her. Mum told me she had found a nice big house, It had a massive drive way, 3 garages, Even though we will only have one car.  Mum's black 4X4, But she said I could have one of them and turn it into a music room for myself, which I was looking forward to. The house also had a massive garden, Front and back, A swimming pool, Hot tub and best of all, A built in skate park in the back garden from the old owners.  Yes, It sounded like it was gonna be a hell of a house. I've only seen photos of it, but I was wondering how we could possibly afford it, Not that I was complaining. It was about a half an hour drive from the local high school, Huntington Beach High, And it was very close to the beach and the pier. Ever since I was little, I've been in love with Huntington Beach, for many reasons. When I was younger, I completely obsessed with any thing American. I blame all those You Tubers that made California life look so glamours. I always used to beg my Mum and Dad to move out there when I was younger, but they always said no. Ha, I guess I'm getting my wish now though, hey? It was nearly 10.30pm and mine and Mum's flight was at 6 am the next morning. I couldn't sleep though. No matter how hard I tried. Even though I know I'm going to regret it, But I can always sleep on the plane. I decided to pack up the rest of my thing and sort out the stuff that I was going to be taking with me on the plane. I walked over to my desk and picked up my back pack.  I grabbed my fully charged iPod and my skull candy head phones, My Art Book and my pencil case, My make-up, Phone, Lap top and Internet stick and shoved them all into my bag and zipped it up. I grabbed my guitars, I had many And put them away in their individual cases. I started to take my drums apart. It was noisy but I knew my Mum would be fast asleep by now and nothing could wake her up and that Dad was all the way down stairs and even if he could hear me, He didn't care. My one brother was staying over at his girl friend's house while the other one lived with his wife and new born baby. After I packed all my music stuff away, I went back over to my bed. It was well past midnight now and I had to be up again at 3 am to get dressed and go to catch our flight at 6. I still couldn't sleep but I knew I had to get SOME sleep tonight. I turned over on to my back and stared up at my ceiling.  I must have fallen asleep at some point because when I woke up, My Mum was screaming at me to wake up and get ready. It was 3.30. I had over slept and only had 2 hours to get every thing sorted, Get ready and get to the airport. On the way to the airport, me and Mum got talking, She knew I was upset about leaving all the people I loved behind. I was more upset at the fact that I was losing my best friend, Emily. She promised that we would talk on the phone and Face book and Email every day but she's over here in England and I'll be over there in America. Emily wasn't just my best friend she was my cousin too and ever since we were younger, We have been joined at the hip.  My Mum knew I was upset so she tried to cheer me up by telling me that she had spoken to Emily's Mum, Her sister, And had managed to convince her to let Emily come over and spend the whole of summer, 10 weeks, With me and Mum in America. And this made me very happy indeed. When we got on the plane, I took my iPod out and put my head phones on. I stuck some music on and soon the sounds of The Murderdolls - My Dark Place Alone, Sent me off in to a deep sleep. I woke up many hours later to the sound of Slipknots- Before I Forget, Blasting my ear drums. I was starting to get a head ache. Mum was sat next to me, She was reading one of her books, One's she had read before but she liked them. She saw I was awake and smiled at me, To which I smiled back. I took out my laptop and decided to check my Email and Face book. There were about 10 messages from my friends telling me how much they missed me and how boring school was with out my craziness. I missed them too. Messaging them all back telling them I would speak to them soon, I closed my lappy down, Just as the Air hostess told us we had arrived in California Once we had got off the plane, We went and got our bags, It was still night time in Huntington and we were still very tired and jet lagged. We made our way over to the car park and found Mum's car. When she had it shipped over, She asked for it to be dropped off at the air port for us. We got in and Mum started to drive to our new home. This was it. The start of my new life in Orange County.
