Chapter 1: I Was Talking To The Eggs
Emma
"No, I don't want to move, Mom" I screamed at my mum.
"Well, we don't have much of a choice since we owe the bank" she said calmly.
Really?! How can she be calm right now.
"Your father didn't give us a choice when he left. I'm sorry, honey" she told me sympathetically.
"Just leave me alone, I'm going to my room" I told her.
I went to my room and locked the door and rested on the door facing my small room and I slid to the floor crying. It's because of him, it's all his fault. I kept on blaming my father until I slept off the the floor.
"Carry me daddy" I ran towards him. "Hey baby, how are ya?" he kissed my cheek. "Tomorrow's my birthday, daddy. I'm turning 6" I squealed in excitement. "I want a princess dress" I told him "We'll see princess, I've got a surprise planned for you tomorrow." he chuckled "Really?" I asked, my eyes wide "Yes, princess" "What is it?'' I asked him "Well if I tell you it won't be a surprise anymore" "Ok, daddy. I'll wait"
I was snapped out of my sleep by someone knocking on the door. "Honey, are you there?" my mum called me. Where else would I be?!
"Come downstairs it's time for dinner" Dinner?! It was already dark "I'll be down in a minute" I told her walking to my bathroom.
I washed my face and went downstairs for dinner. I sat down at the table where my mum was waiting for me and just started eating mindlessly.
"Are you okay about this? About us moving to your grandma's?" She asked me softly.
"Grandma's?!" I practically yell at her "You're making me leave all my friends and my life behind to my grand ma's?!" I asked her hysterically.
"Yes, and I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do about it. If we don't move there we'll be homeless" she told me.
"When?" I question her "Next week" she squeaks.
"What?!" Oh you have got to be kidding me. "I'm moving in a week and you deem it fit to tell me today?" I scream at her.
"But I don't have any friends and--"
That's when I remembered the blue eyed, curly haired boy I had a crush on as a kid. He lived two houses away from my grandma's and was the only reason I liked going to my grand ma's house. That and her brownies. But really I would go over to his house in the morning and come back late the evenings.
The last time I ever went there was when my parents were showing signs of break up and then I asked him "Do you like me?" "No" he told me plainly to my face. "But I like you" I whined "So?" He gave me a bored look. "Why are you being so mean?" I said holding back my tears "I'm not being mean, you're just being stupid plus I'm two years older than you." Then I ran, I ran away and didn't turn back when he called me. I didn't go back to get my bag, I just ran.
My mum was calling me and snapping her fingers in front of my face "Hello, Earth to Em."
"Huh?" I snapped out of my thoughts about my childhood crush. Oh no I can't face him after my meltdown when I was 6.
"Okay, does Jace still live there?" She smiled a bit and nodded.
"Shit" I muttered under my breath. "I'm going to my room and I stood up taking my plates to the sink.
"Good night" I kissed my mum's cheek and went upstairs.
Shit, I couldn't face him after what I did. But I needed friends in my new school, plus I was over him? Right?
I walked to the bathroom brushed my teeth, put on pajamas and went straight to bed. But I couldn't sleep, I was thinking about a cute 8 year old.
The next day my cursed alarm woke me up "Okay I get the fact you have nothing better to do so just shut up" I slammed my alarm clock.
Saying I wasn't a morning person was an understatement, a wild, hungry bear is nothing compared to me in the mornings.
I drag my body up and headed to the shower. After brushing my teeth and hair, I decide on jeans, a bright purple crop top and jacket. I head downstairs for some breakfast the only thing that helps my mood in the morning.
"How are you, my darling? I say as I walk into the kitchen.
My mum looks surprised and is speechless until I tell her "I was talking to the eggs."
She breathes a breath of relief as she hands me a plate of eggs. "So are you telling them today?" She asks me.
"I don't know" I answer honestly. "Well you'll have to tell them sooner or later" she told me. "Now hurry up or you'll be late."
I quickly downed down the remaining of my eggs and drop my plates in the sink. "Bye mum" I yelled running out of the house.
I arrive in school on time to find Mia, my bestie beside my locker. "Hi Mia, I need to talk to you" I walked up to her.
"Well, we're talking now I suppose. So what's up?" She says with a grin.
"Hey, are you related to a Cheshire cat in any way, cause you sure grin like 'em" I told her playfully. "No" she said with a scowl.
Well here goes nothing.
"I'm moving" I tell her quickly. "What?!" She snaps her head around so fast I'm scared it might break.
"I said I'm moving" I repeated "No you can't move. Where?" She asks me. Oh God.
"Georgia, to my grandma's" I squeak. "So you're really going to leave me here?" Her voice cracks. Oh no.
"No, of course not. I mean I can still visit right? Plus we have social media and Skype" I told her in a pathetic attempt to make her feel better.
"Okay, now let go of me and let's get to class" she smiles at me.
I sigh in relief that she is not mad. One down, one to go.
