Cityside Part. 4.

The 3 weeks spent packing went by so fast. I ticked off every day on my calendar until it was the 6th of March. Moving Day. I woke up. It felt like a normal day until I went to my calendar. I sighed and walked into the almost empty kitchen. I tried to dodge the boxes as I went to sit at the table. I made myself some cereal and ate it slowly. My mom sat next to me. ''You excited?''she asked excitedly. I glared at her and she frowned. ''Are you, Ash?'' she looked at my sister. Ashleigh shrugged and began to eat. She didn't mind moving. I did though. After breakfast, We gathered up our last things. I went into my room. It used to have posters of my favourite music and animals all over the blue walls but now they were empty. My light green rug on the floor was gone. So were the wooden desk,the blue chair and my closet.It didn't seem right.

I felt a tear slide down my cheek. Any other child would be happy to leave such an empty,lonely town like Barklate...Except me. When I was much smaller we moved around alot. But I only really felt at home here. It was my favourite place in the world. I wiped my cheek,grabbed my bag full of stuff for the journey and walked slowly downstairs. I stood in the hallway for a long time until my dad kissed me on the forehead and hugged me. ''It'll be okay, Olivia. I promise.''he patted my head. ''You always break your promises.''I pointed out. It was true though. He promised me a new bed for Prim, some new clothes and books but I never got any of them. And they're just a few. There are plenty more. ''Sorry about that.'' he mumbled embarrassed. ''But when we move to our new home I'll get you all those things.And More. I love you kid'' he hugged me again and walked to the car. I followed him and sat in the backseat of the 7-seater car with Ashleigh,Prim and Toby. Our parents agreed to bring them as long as we took full responsibility of them We agreed.

As my dad drove us out of Barklate I took a last look at the place I used to call home. Another tear slid down my face and onto my jeans.I wiped my face with my purple sweater and looked down.Ashleigh held me hand and hugged me. I wondered why she wasn't being emotional...I drifted to sleep thinking of our new home. I bet that I was going to have A Nightmare.
