“I’m going to Sophie’s!” I yell as I run out of my front door. The screen door slams behind me, A silent alarm to my family that I am gone. However, No one would respond, for no one even heard. All I want is to go over to my best friend’s house. Her house is so different from my own, It is quiet. There is no yelling Nor fighting. It was weird. “Where’s Daddy?” I ask my mom. Although I know the answer. He’s living about a mile away, In his own apartment. “How much does it cost to live here?” I say as I drag my sleeping bag into the living room. We gobble down pizza and ice cream, A delicacy we only get when it’s Daddy’s days. We go down to RedBox and rent a new movie. Daddy has his own TV that we watch it on. I miss my Mama. “Daddy’s home!” I jump up and down with joy. Mama and Daddy love each other again! Daddy got rid of his apartment, I guess we won’t be having ice cream for dinner anymore. “We’re going to live with Nana?” My brother and I listen in on my Grandma and Mama talk. We’re going to live with my Nana for the summer, While things transition. Mama is moving to a new state, Daddy is staying at home. We won’t see either of them until school starts again. “I get to share a room with Grandma?” My Mama, brother, sister, and I get to live with my Grandma in a new state! We start school soon. I don’t know anyone there, But I think it will be awesome! “Hi.” My Mama introduces me to her boyfriend. He seems really nice. Apparently, they have known each other for a while. He takes me fishing and hunting with his friends! I miss my Daddy. “I pick this one!” I rush upstairs, Only to find out that my sister and I are sharing a room. There is a cool staircase leading up to it though! I really like my new house. “Congratulations, Mama!” My Mama and my Stepdad are married now! I am really excited! We’re moving to a new town about thirty minutes away, I’m gonna go to school there. I will miss my friends. “C’mon, we’re going to see Daddy!” My siblings and I hop into the car, We have about a 7 hour drive back to Daddy’s house. We meet halfway, My sister starts balling because she has to leave Mama. I guess that makes sense, She doesn’t ever remember living without her. I see the pain in my Daddy’s eyes, He just wants to see his baby girl. “I want to go back.” My Mom gave us a choice. We could either move back, Or stay where we have been for three years. My brother told me that Mom and Daddy have been talking about getting back together. Ever since Mom told us that our Stepdad was an alcoholic and they were getting a divorce, I’ve been hoping that things could just go back to normal. “Umm, hi.” I mumble, Walking into my Mom’s room. There is a guy sitting on her bed. Later that night as I am going to sleep, I hear them talking in the kitchen. My Mom is begging him for more money, Apparently we might lose our house. “What do you think about him?” I ask my brother, Referring to the new guy who is now living with us. He seems really nice. “Yes, marry her!” I say excitedly. The new guy is still living with us. He really loves my Mom. I just want to see her happy. “I’m sorry you guys.” I apologize to my friends, My New Stepdad and my Mom have been fighting, They say they want an annulment. They got married last week. “He doesn’t treat you right.” I plead to my mom. She deserves so much more.
