PRESENT DAY

Haley's POV

When I done dressing up, I headed downstairs just to pass time , I had yet another hour to kill so watching tv is my way to kill time , when I went into the lounge my parents suddenly kept quiet and my mom looked spooked as if they are hiding something fom me , but I brushed it off and tokk the remote then I sat did and scrolled through the channels to find something I can watch.

"you are looking good today miss" my dad said

" aww thanks dad" I smiled at him

" ummm.... honey sorry to killyour mood but you can't go over to Halle's house" mom said

"mom, why " I asked frowning

" unfortunately ....... you have to start packing , we're leaving tomorrow" Mom said

"where to ?, and why tomorrow ,I have to go to school" I said

"tomorrow , it's sunday , what are you going to do at school" dad asked

" I have a project to complete and I asked where to and why?" I said and asked

"we're moving!!!" mom said sounding excited

"where to and why , i've been asking" I exclaimed getting pissed as minutes went by

"new city ,, new house, new life" dad said

"I love my new life , I don't need another new life...... we've just moved here for christ sake" I raised my voice

"Honey please calm down , we'll never move again, from the city we're going to , I promise" mom said

"Noo , I don't want to move at all , My life is here , I love my school , I have good friend , I have an amazing best friend and a few nice guy friends" I shouted at my parents then I stood up and ran to my room crying.

As I was running up the stairs I heard someone follow me , I got into my room and slammed the door and locked it , I plopped on my bed and took out my phone, before I could do anything I heard a knock on my door.

"Go away, I don't want to talk to you" I said to whoever knocked on my door

"Munchkin please open the door" my dad said

" I said go away dad , I hate you and I don't wanna talk to you" I screamed

A few seconds later , I heard footsteps , I figured my dad was going away, I then went back to my phone and tried calling Ajax but to my disappointment he didn't take my call , it went to voicemail , I then thought I could call Halle , I called and she answered.

[Phone Call]

*Hey girl , what's up* Halle asked

*Ffmm* I sniffled

*Why are you crying babe , please talk to me* Halle asked with a worried tone

*They want to me away from you and our friends and Ajax* I said crying

*Who , what are you talking about?* Halle asked yet again

*They told me today that we're moving tomorrow and I have to pack today , so I won't be able to come to your place and I was looking forward to it , I'm even dressed up but they told me 30min ago that we're moving , I don't want to move , I want to stay here , I love you and our friends and I also like Ajax* I said still crying

*I have an idea , you can ask your parents to let you stay here in that house , I'll come stay with you and I'll ask the twin and Ana to stay with us* Halle Suggested

*That's a great idea* I smiled and wiped away my tears

*Okay go talk to them* Halle said

*Okay Thank you , talk to you later* I hung up the phone.

[End Of Phone Call]

After my call with Halle , I got off my bed and ran downstairs to go and talk to my parents about the suggestion Halle made.

"Mom... Dad" I called out running down the stairs

"Yes honey , stop running you going to fall" Mom said

"I ha...hav.....have a.

..sugge......stion , and it can work well" I said as I was catching my breath

"Okay breath and calm down , so you can talk" Dad said

After I caught my breath I explained everything to my parents and now I'm waiting to here what's their take on it.

"Ohh honey , that's a good idea but it can't happen , you have to come along , there's no way we leaving you in this city alone , you don't know anyone here , what if you all fight and no longer talk to each other, you are going to left alone and that's not safe" Mom said

"I know that relationships have their ups and downs but we will get through them and Halle said , I can always rely on her and her parents" I explained

After what I said my mom started coughing.

"Mom , what's wrong , are you okay" I asked worried

"I'm fine , I just need water" mom said still coughing

"Ohh okay , lemme get you a glass" I said as I stood up

I ran to the kitchen and took out a glass from the cupboard and rinsed it then poured water and went back to the lounge and gave my mom the glass and she drank and she became fine and calmed down.

"I'm sorry Munchkin but you have to come with us" Dad said

"Please , I'll call you everyday and take good care of myself , please mom , please dad" I pleaded with them

"No, and that's final" Dad said in a stern tone

I stood up and stormed off and got into my room , I started throwing thing off the table and across the room in frustration, I then took my phone and texted Halle but she didn't reply , maybe she's busy with something or preparing for tomorrow. I put my phone down and start pacing around my room , then a thought of calling Ajax pops in my mind, I take my phone and call Ajax , and lucky enough he answers.

[Phone Call]

*Sunshine , what's up* Ajax says in a jolly mood

*Hi .... I .... Um ..... Um can you please come over* I stumble upon my words

*Ohhhhkay what's wrong, you sound stressed* Ajax asks seemingly worried

*I'll tell you when you're over here , please come* I almost plead

*Okay I'm coming over , open the window* He says and hangs up

[End Of Phone Call]

After the call with Ajax , I go over to my window and open it , then I sit next to the window. After what felt like hours and me dozing off in my thoughts of how to stay and not move away someone taps my shoulder.

"Ahhhh" I jump in fright

"Wait sunshine , it's only me" Ajax says

"You scared me" I say trying to calm down

"I'm sorry" He says

"It's fine" I say

"What's up , firstly on the call you sounded stressed and now you seemed like you were far with thoughts , come on spit it out" He asks

"I don't want to go away from Halle , Ana , Shaquille , Shaqiri , Morisa and you" I cry , and hug Ajax tightly

"Wait , what do you mean you don't want to go away from us" He asked clearly confused

"My parents told me a few hours ago that we moving tomorrow and we are moving to a new city , I tried calling you but you didn't answer, Halle gave me a suggestion but my parents disagree and they ended up saying it's final and we are moving whether I like it or not"I vent

"What.... And did they tell you why y'all are moving and you only moved here 2 months ago , why do y'all have to move again" Ajax asks

"I don't know they didn't tell me , infact they won't tell me" I say to Ajax

" This is something else , so why did you call me here" He asks

"I just wanted to see you for the last time" I say almost inaudible but he heard me

"It doesn't have to be for the last time we can always hang out on weekends and holidays" He says

"Really , I'd like that" I say wiping away my tears and half smiling

"Yes definitely, I'll come to the new city everytime I'm able to and I can sometimes come with Halle and your other friends"Ajax says

"Wow... Really would you do that for me" I ask feeling better than few hours ago

"Yes , anything for you Sunshine" Ajax assures me

"Okay promise you'll video call (face time) everytime you couldn't come" I asks shy

"Promise" Ajax says as he engulfs me in a hug, I hug him back and we stay like that until someone interupts us.

"Haley please open the door" I hear my mom on the other side of the door

"Hide" I whisper to Ajax , he runs into the bathroom

"I'm coming mom" I say and open the door

" How are you feeling baby" mom asks seemingly worried

"I'm good " I say smiling

"And why are you suddenly in a good mood" Mom asks clearly confused

"I just figured , it's useless to cry over things you can't change" I exclaim

"Okay honey that's good, so have you started packing" mom asks

"Not yet but I'll do so in a few minutes" I say

Mom says okay and leaves my room , I try to take my suitcase from the top of my wardrobe but fail , just that moment someone takes it from the wardrobe and hands it to me , I turn around and see Ajax, I smile and thank him and start packing.
