Our Spot

I look out the window to see the beautiful green tress and grass. I wish the rest of the world was this beautiful. Hey I'm Emma Johnson and I am 17 years old. You might be wondering what I am doing in the car. Well I am moving to another state, because of my dad's job. I can't say I'm the happiest, but I'm not mad. I already have all of my friends phone numbers. I will have to move to a new school obviously so that means new people. I always get nervous on the first day and act nervous and stupid. It's always been so embarrassing. I live my friends and family but they don't know that I'm not always happy and outgoing. At my old house I used to go on the roof from my window to just trap myself in my thoughts while reading to help me escape this world. Oh! That's another thing about me. I love reading. It gives me hope in life. I feel the car stop and look outside my window and see we are at a gas station. "Want anything while I'm in there cupcake?" My dad asked me "No thank you" I said with a smile That's my dad. We have been close ever since my mom passed away from cancer. He helped me through the hardest times of my life. Especially since I was only 12. I blocked out all my friends and family, but my dad didn't let ne fade away from him. He would hold me during my darkest moments. When he would catch me banging my head against the wall, screaming in my pillow, having panic attacks, etc. Me and my mom were very close. I never left her side. She would always read to me stories that I know somehow gave me hope. I'm pretty sure that's why I love reading so much. My dad got back in the car and gave me some snacks for the road. He definitely knows what I love by now! *** After rubbing my eyes from waking up from a nap I heard my dad's GPS say we only had 10 minutes left. I felt myself getting so excited. Not because I knew we were 6 hours away from where I grew up, but because the house we are getting is so big and has so much more room. As some of you might already know, when you have to move, it majority of the time means you have a job that pays good. "Dad, can I stop to use the bathroom?" I asked my dad "Yup. There's a bathroom right around the corner" He says while turning the car He turned into a gastation and parked the car. I took off my seatbelt and opened the car door. After getting out I wiped myself off and started heading towards the store door. I opened the door and tried to stand on my tippy toes to see where the bathroom is. I spotted it and started walking towards it. I was looking at the shelves and felt myself bump into something and almost fall but feel myself being catched by... a hand?! That is not a something that I bumped into. That is a someone! Oh my gosh. How embarrassing. "Careful" The person said. I looked up and saw a guy standing Infront of me, and relized he was still holding my hand. I quickly jerked my hand away. "Oh, I'm sorry! I should have been paying attention!" I said trying to look everywhere but then. I've never been good around guys. Especially good looking ones and he looked like a 100/10, so it was very difficult to talk normal. "No sweetheart, you are fine. I should have watched where I was going" He said with a smile. I finally managed to look over at him. He was just staring at me. Then that's when I realized that I'm just 10 minutes away from my destination. That means they could go to my school. "Are you new here" I heard one if them ask "oh yeah, Im moving here because my father job. I have 10 minutes until I get to my new house" I said "Well, I'm Noah" He said shaking my hand "I'm Emma" I said nervously "Well Emma, I will let you get back to doing whatever you were doing and see you at school?" He said but it ended up sounding more like a question. "Yeah yeah of course" I said with a smile "Okay bye!" He said walking off I walked to the bathroom and used it *** I felt us stop once again and opened my door excitedly because I knew we were here. I looked at the huge house and squealed in the inside. I walked around the car to my dad. "You excited?" He asked smiling, noticing the huge smile on my face "Yes!" I nearly scream "Okay then what are you waiting for?" He said while having the keys Infront if my face. I quickly grabbed them and ran to the door. I started opening, but stopped. I looked back and saw my dad leaning on the side of his car. "What are you waiting for?" He asked "I feel like we should go in together. You have always been there for me and I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for you" I said holding my arm I saw him smile with emotions in his eye and walk to where I was. He stood beside me and held out his hand. "Come on cupcake" He said with a smile I put my hand with his and started opening the door and then we both walked in together. As soon as I walked in I gasped at how big it was in the inside. "Woah" I say surprised "Big isn't it?" I says putting the keys in his pocket "Big?! It's huge dad!" I say walking forward "Well, we needed extra rooms to have movie nights and do fun stuff, right?" He said I turned around and ran up to him and hugged him "I love you cupcake" He said while rubbing my head "I love you too dad" I said looking up. I let go and turned back around "May I see my room?" I ask "Of course" He says waving his hand for me to follow him We walk up the stairs and I see a long hallway. "The last one to the left" He says pointing towards the door I squealed out loud this time. I nearly ran and opened the door. I held my mouth at how big it is. It even has its own bathroom! "Oh my gosh" I say but it comes out as a whisper "I know, now you better start unpacking before the sun goes down" He says walking back down the stairs He's right I should probably start unpacking. I run back down the stairs and walk to the front door and open it. I walk to the car and open the door to pop the trunk. I go to the trunk and pull out 2 boxes. This is gonna take a while.
