As you walked out the doors of your old apartment building carrying one of the last boxes you had packed just the other day you heard fast footsteps approaching you, you turned around to see your best friend coming full speed at you, you quickly placed the box you were holding down and just in time for her to practically jump into your arms "I can't believe you're leaving me" she said in a sorrowful tone "I know i can't believe it ether, i'm going to miss you" you said as she trapped you with arms locked around your waist.

After a couple of seconds of standing like that she slightly pulled away "you're going to write me, right?" she asked "of course!" you said with a giggle and your friend nodded her head "oh yeah, wait a second!" your friend exclaimed as she pulled out of the hug and grabbed a paper from her pocket "this is for you!" she said and handed you the paper which turned out to be a couple pictures of the two of you, one from when you guys were only 5 and the others from just a couple years ago, you started to tear up and pulled her back into a hug "thank you.. gosh i'm really going to miss you" you wept, before your friend could respond your mother came out the doors with the very last box "come on Y/N we have to finish loading the truck." your mother said as she walked over to the moving truck that was packed with boxes, you nodded to your mother and grabbed the box you had put down earlier and walked over with friend following not to far behind.

Soon enough the truck was all packed up and everyone was saying there goodbyes, "remember, write to me when you get the chance" your friend said with a smile "okay okay." you said with a giggle the two of you acted happy in the moment but really the two of you were holding back tears because you were leaving your childhood friend and her childhood friend was leaving her.

"come on sweetheart, its time to go" your mother said from the car, you gave your friend one last hug goodbye and got into the truck, you were sat next to your brother who was looking out the window, soon your dad started up the truck and started heading to your new home in Castle Rock Oregon.

you looked back from your window and saw your friend wiping the tears from her eyes, "i'm going to miss New York, I don't get why we had to leave.." you said quietly but your parents heard you "we left cause your brother doesn't know how not to get in trouble" your father said and your brother let out a huff, your brother was a good guy but he had got along with the wrong people when he was 15 and ended up in jail at 17 and your parents didn't want it to happen again so they thought moving would be the best idea.

 "up next, 'Teenage Idol" by Ricky Nelson." said the radio, you were gazing out the window when your eyes felt heavy and soon enough you dozed off.

you awoke to your mothers voice trying to get you to wake up, "come on sweetie we're at the new house" she said trying nudge you in the side and you let out a groan, you slowly hopped out the truck and walked up to the porch of the new house.

"wheres my room?" you asked form the bottom step of the staircase "um, it should be the second door on the left." your mother explained as you ran up the stairs past your brothers room, you reached the door to your new room and swung the door open to see your furniture already placed and the boxes with your name on them stacked up ready to be unpacked, you first pulled out your small portable radio your brother had got you a year ago for your birthday, he told you he got it for free but you know he just stole it.

"Now playing 'Twist and Shout' by The Isley Brothers!" the radio said and you got to work unpacking your room.

—

it took you around an hour and thirty minutes to unpack your room and once you finished you started to feel thirsty, you started going down the stairs when heard a unfamiliar women's voice talking to your mother in the kitchen "yeah we just moved here from New York, the town seems lovely" your mother said with a half hearted smile there conversation went on for a couple more until you popped into the kitchen, you were surprised to see not just a unfamiliar women but a unfamiliar boy who looked around your age "Oh! Mrs. Tessio, this is my daughter Y/N." your mother said as you gave a little wave "Y/N this is Mrs. Tessio and her son Vern, they live down the road and they came to welcome us to the neighborhood." your mother explained and you let out a little oh, "maybe Vern can show Y/N around town." Mrs. Tessio remarked "Oh thats a wonderful idea!"

Your mother said, she wanted you to make at least one friend before school started back up in two months "okay then lets go." Vern said as the two of you walked over to the door and you quickly threw on the pair of tennis shoes that used to belong to your mother, you both walked out the door and headed to town.
