There's Been a Mistake Chapter 1 "Do we have to move?" I asked, distressed. "I know you like it here, but you need to give Florida a chance," she said. My mom wanted me to move to her home town. My mom and grandma moved here when she was seventeen. I love New York. I have the perfect #life here. I just don't get why my mom wants to move. It's not like we can't afford it or anything. We're getting along really well. My mom just decided that she'd rather move back home instead of staying here. Although, it might have to do with the fact that my grandma died a month ago. We took it pretty hard, but I didn't think we'd move over that. "Come on mom, seriously? Who's even heard of Lisbon?" "It's such a beautiful place, Kay! You'll love it there. They have a beach and you can tan nicely instead of the rooftop or tanning bed. You can go to the same high school I went to. It's really great, just give it a chance," she pleaded. I could tell by the look in her eyes that she wanted me to like it. This place was really special to her. Even if it was a small city, it was big in her eyes. It's the place that she grew up. I really can't blame her for wanting to move back. Although I would have appreciated it if she would have moved once I turned eighteen. I could still live here and she could move wherever she wanted. Too bad things don't work out that way and I have to live there for two years until I turn eighteen. I woke up the next morning to my mom blaring music throughout the house. I groaned and buried my head in my pillow. Why can't she get with the program and used headphones? Yawning, I sat up in bed and looked at my phone. It was eight in the morning. That's way too early for a summer morning. I guess I do need to pack the rest of my things though. I hop in the shower and take twenty minute for the hot water to really open up my pores and clean out my leftover makeup. Morning showers are always the best. You get to warm yourself up from getting cold after shimmying out of your bed. Then you feel refreshed all day long. It's just one of those things that you really appreciate. Hot running water, I definitely appreciate that. "Are you all packed yet?" my mom asked after I had gotten dressed. "Almost done. I have a few more things to box that are on my desk," I say. "You better get all your stuff done today because we're leaving exactly at six tomorrow morning." "Yeah, yeah, I get it," I waved her off but my mom doesn't like that. "Kayleigh," she said sharply and I turned around to look at her, "I might be laid back but I still taught you manners." "Sorry mom, I'll finish packing today." She nodded and went back to taping her box up. I just rolled my eyes and walked back to my room. I laid on my bed and looked at the ceiling. I was sure going to miss this place like crazy. This was my home. I grew up here and I seriously didn't want to leave. I had my first kiss downstairs in front of the apartment doors. My first fight with my best friend in this very bedroom. My first party a few streets over. My first steps in this living room. All these things happened here, in New York. Not in Lisbon Florida, I thought and a single tear slid down my face. I wiped it away and got back to packing. I wasn't going to let this move impact my #life so immensely. I stared at my apartment doors from the cabs window. Everything I have ever known all started here. Now it's all being ripped away from me. In the blink of an eye, everything I grew up knowing, gone. I guess I should say more like three hours with how long the flight is going to be. Still, I don't want it to go. I want to see the busy streets buzzing with cars every night. I want to see all the lights that never turn off. I want to see all the movie stars that so often come here. I've never wanted anything more than to stay here forever. I'll miss you New York, I thought as my airplane took off into the early morning sky. A/N: Hey guys, I thought I'd start a new story! I want you guys to tell me what you think... or not. This chapter is nothing compared to what I have in store. I have a feeling that this is going to be my best story. So y'all just comment and tell me if you like it or not xxx Christina
