Chapter 1

My father disappeared three months ago. My family will now never be the same. I lye in bed everyday waiting for a miracle. For my father to return.

I roll out of bed and make my way downstairs, then shuffle on over to the kitchen table and grab a plate. I scoop up a mother load of eggs and sausage, eating it all up. When I finish, I carry my plate over to the sink.

"Good morning honey," my mom says as she walks in.
I look up at her and smile.
"Don't forget that we're moving today," she reminds me.
This house got hard to afford after my father disappeared.
I start to walk away.
"Oh! Wait!" my mom blurts out.
"Yes?" I ask like I could care less at the moment.
"Can you please wake up Justin?"
"Sure."
Justin is my annoying older brother. People say we look alike but I don't think so. He has short, light, brown hair, and eyes the color of green. He also has braces. I have long, light brown, thin, curly hair. I have eyes the color of the sea and I'm pretty tall. I'm also really thin and tan too.
I bang on his door.
"WAKE UP!" I shout.
I go across to my room and everything is packed besides my clothes. I get dressed into pink shorts and a white tang top. After that I open up my closet and pull out a suitcase. I stuff all my clothes into it and then take the blankets of my bed. I go over to my closet and take out my last suitcase then I shove all my blankets into it. Then I go open up my dresser and cram the rest of the clothes into it. I zip them both up and lug them downstairs. Justin does them same.
"Mom said we have to pack the car," Luke mumbles.
I grab all the bags and go outside. It's so hot! A few of my friends are here to say goodbye. I shove all my bags into the trunk and then run over to hug them and say my goodbyes. I start to cry a little.
"Time to go," my mom says.
I say my last goodbye and give my last hugs then run over to the car. I strap in and then we start moving. Justin and I watch the house until we can't see it anymore. Now my new life begins. Maryland, here I come.
