The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

I would miss the sun, the long summer nights. The beach being right on my doorstep. I would miss a lot of things. Chewing the inside of my cheek I stood staring at the sold sign. I had lived in Florida my whole life.

You see it was just my gran and I. My mom died during childbirth and I didn't know my dad. He wasn't really someone we talked about.

"Still staring at that sign, I see".

Today was another day closer to leaving. She was uprooting us to Texas. Change was good apparently. I didn't want to move, didn't want to start all over in a new place.

My friends were here, my boyfriend was here. For being eighteen my life was pretty good. I got good grades; I had a part time job. I liked where I was at right now. She knew how I felt about leaving but that didn't matter. She had made up her mind. "Leah, you'll make new friends, you'll get a new boyfriend. We need to do this sweetheart. Change is good".

I didn't want new friends and I didn't want a new boyfriend. My gran wasn't Tommy's biggest fan. Always insisted something was off with him, didn't like the feeling she got when he was around.

He was my first boyfriend, slightly older but only by three years. But that didn't matter. He had a car, the brightest blue eyes I had ever seen and he was nice to me.

I knew I would make new friends. I would leave regardless if I wanted to or not. I would move on and get on with my life but leaving them behind wasn't my biggest worry.

"My mom's here". I whispered.

"Sweetheart, your mom's in here". She placed her hand over my heart. "No matter where you are or where you go your mom will always be with you".

I knew she was right but being here, living in this house, it made me feel closer to her.
