A New Start

                                    

                                              
I started packing for the long 6 months I would be away from home.
"What will you need in 6 months?"I questioned myself as I packed.
I laughed,realizing I was talking to myself.
I threw in shirts,pants,shorts,shoes,etc.
Then I put some money in my wallet and put my wallet inside the suitcase.
I then packed some other things and I was finally done,I slipped on my shoes and went downstairs.
"Damn,gone for 6 months.."I said,looking around my room and walking downstairs to the kitchen to see they were all still there.
"So I guess it's a yes that you're coming?"Jerry asked with a laugh.
"Yup."I said,sitting in an empty chair at the head of the table.
"So how old are you again?"Sean asked.
I sighed,"16 Sean,you ask this like every time."
"Oh yeah,guess I'm growing old."He laughed.
"Damn right."Jerry said.
Everybody started laughing,Sean punched Jerry in the shoulder.
I thought about what it'd be like away from home for 6 whole months,
"SHIT."I yelled,standing up and running upstairs.
I ran into my room,searching all over.
"Kylie!Are you okay?!"Layne yelled as he stood in the door with the guys.
"Woah,what the hell are you doing?"Mike asked,seeing my room as it was now a huge mess.
I didn't answer,shit it wasn't in here.
I zoomed pass Jerry in the little space and ran into Layne's old room,soon finding what I needed.
"Got ya."I said to myself,the little box in my hands.
I ran out of the room and straight into Layne.
I fell back but he soon caught me before I hit my head,
"What are you doing?"He asked.
"Jess' birthday is next month,I won't be here plus I need to tell her I'm leaving and stuff."I said,standing up straight.
"I'm gonna go run there quickly."I said,zooming pass and down the stairs and outside before I could get a response.
                          
I ran down the street,quickly turning onto another street and running down to Jess' house.
I knocked on the door,out of breath.
The door opened and Jess stood there,
"Kylie?What're you doing here?"She asked.
Once I caught my breath,I explained that I was going away with Layne for the next 6 months and other things.
"So,since I won't be here for your birthday,here's an early present."I said,handing her the little box.
"Should I open it now?"She asked.
"Doesn't matter."I said.
She then ripped through the paper and pulled out a piece of paper and a ring.
"Remember when we were at your 8th birthday party and we got those best friend rings from the machine?I found yours at my house,and I still have mine at my house.I was giving this to you so it'd remind us of our friendship and stuff."I said.
She didn't say anything,I think I said a little too much..
She then hugged me,"I know you're not a hug kind of person but thank you Ky.I'll treasure this..also,have fun on tour.I'll miss you but,you're perusing your dreams which'll make me happy."She smiled,a tear rolling down her cheek.
"I'll miss you too."I said.
"Say hi to Eddie for me."She laughed.
"Will do,but I gotta go.See you in 6 months."I said,waving as I walked away.
I heard her door shut,I sighed.
I started heading back to home.
                          
"HEY!STAYLEY!"A voice yelled,I turned back to see those kids with a couple others walking towards me.
"We're not done teaching you that lesson!"Molly yelled.
I sighed as they were now near me.
"We got back up this time."She smirked.
"Fuckin' bring it then."I said.
One threw a punch,I caught it and threw them back.
Just then all of them pounced on me,making me crash to the ground.
I was being pelted with kicks,punches,anything.
I kicked one guy straight where the sun don't shine,then other at their knees.
I was hurt and weak,I then kicked one kid in the jaw.
They all yelled,backing off.
I sighed as I saw my arms and legs.
Blood was dropping and cuts were forming.
I began walking back home as I felt terrible.

                          
I had reached the house,I walked inside to see a little glimpse of the guys at the table.
I walked in weakly to the kitchen.
"Holy shit..what the hell happened to you?!"Layne yelled as he ran over seeing my injuries.
"I fell in a bush on the way back."I said,watching as the guys all ran around looking for medical supplies.
"A bush can't do this damage to you,tell me the truth of what the hell happened."Layne said,worry growing in his voice.
"Fine,these kids wanted to like teach me a lesson but last time when they tried,it was only 2 but then this time it was like 10.But I beat them back too each time.."I said,feeling ashamed that I had gotten into another fight.
He sighed,"Who started it?"
"Them."I said,looking at the guys and how they were looking through the medical kit for things.
He sighed,he sounded pissed.
"Know any of their names?"He asked.
"Uh,Logan Branchard,Molly Mason,Rebecca Gordon,and I didn't see the rest."I said,sitting on the counter.
"Ah,they all have older siblings that went to school with me.Ricky Branchard,Nicole Mason,and Bridget Gordon.Never liked them."Layne said,trailing off as he thought back.
"I'm gonna go clean myself up."I said,getting off the counter,grabbing some of the medical things,and walking upstairs to the bathroom.
