The buzzing of my alarm clock stirred me out of my sleep. Great. Today's the day. The day I move to California, leaving Colorado behind. While I grew accustomed to the snow in Denver, I would now have to get used to the heat in San Diego. I sure hope dad knows what he's doing. My stepmother, Claudia, is really good to me. She treats me like her own. But of course she doesn't wanna stay here. She thinks its too painful for me. It's been ten years since....my mom died. I think that's enough time to get over it. But she doesn't think so.

In fact, it's too late to turn back now. My dad already sold the house. So it's off to San Diego! Yay. I got out of bed and stretched my arms before heading for the bathroom. After taking a quick shower, I got dressed in my superman shirt, blue skinny jeans, and red toms. I threw my hair up into a messy bun and took a look in mirror.

This was me. Curly red hair, purple eyes, a body with all the right curves, and pale skin. I sighed and went to pack the rest of my things before heading downstairs.

Claudia and my dad were drinking coffee and eating breakfast. I grabbed a bagel and some orange juice before planting myself next to my dad and giving him a kiss on the cheek. He smiled and got up to finish packing the kitchen stuff.

"Nice to see you're up. Eat up. We're leaving within the hour." I shot him a thumbs up before finishing my breakfast and heading back upstairs.

I needed to look at everything just one last time before we left. I knew I'd never see it again.

Venturing into my room I grabbed my things and set them out in the hall before heading into my dad's room. There wasn't anything left in there except for the stain on the carpet I made when I was five.

I still remember it.

My dad was chasing me up the stairs while I was bringing a drink to my mom. I tripped and spilled it all over the carpet. I started crying thinking I'd be in trouble but my parents just laughed at my clumsiness.

They always laughed at me. I was considered a spoiled child because they never once yelled at me. That is until my mom died. My dad was devastated, so he took his anger out on me. I just let him go, knowing he needed to let it out. I understood him. He always found ways to apologize though. Whether it'd be getting me little gifts or just taking me out to have some fun. It was only a matter of time before he met Claudia. I hated her at first because I didn't want anyone replacing my mom. But she talked to me one night and told me she could never replace my mom. She was just hoping I'd accept her into my life because she loved me and my father very much. Sure enough they got married and here we are.

So when I looked around the bedroom, I felt as if I was leaving past memories behind. Which was kind of the point of us moving. But although some were bad memories, most were good. I sighed and gave it one last look before closing the door, and closing my memories.

"Bye mom." I whispered.

I smiled and grabbed my things, towing them down the stairs with me. My dad was loading up the car and Claudia was bringing things out to him. I checked the whole house, making sure we didn't leave anything behind before I dragged my stuff outside.

"Everything out?" My dad called to me.

"Yup! You can lock her up." I yelled back and put my things in the trunk.

I fished my iPod out of my purse and put my headphones in. This was gonna be a long drive and I didn't want to communicate with my parents more than I had to. "Home" by Phillip Phillips came on. How ironic. I was headed "home" wherever that may be. I didn't get a chance to see any pictures of the house that we're planning on living in so I had no idea what it looked like. After my dad locked up, we headed to the house dealers place to give them the key. After that, we were off on our sixteen hour drive. I must of fallen asleep because when I woke up, my iPod was dead and we arrived in a long driveway which led to the mother of all houses. It was huge! No way was this our house. There had to be some mistake. Sure enough, my dad and Claudia parked the car and got out, stretching and turning to face me.

"Welcome home sweetheart. You coming or not?" Claudia giggled and motioned for me to get out.

"Grab your night time things. We can unpack tomorrow." My dad said before heading for the door.

I was tired and it was hot. He unlocked the door and I grabbed my night bag before heading into the house. If I thought the outside was big, I had another thing coming. The inside was ginormous! There was a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the main entrance and the hall in front of me lead down to the kitchen. The living room was to my left, complete with a huge flat screen tv and leather couches. To my right was a sitting room, I'm guessing for parties and gatherings. There was a large staircase that let up to the second floor. When I got upstairs, I was greeted with a long hallway leading to three doors. I was about to open them when my dad stopped me.

"Whoa. Slow down there kiddo. This first room is ours. The second door leads to the guest bedroom and the third leads to your bedroom. Each room is complete with a king size bed and bathroom. Oh by the way. Go check out your room. I bet you'll like what you see." He gave me a little wink.

I practically ran to my room. When I opened the door, my jaw hit the floor. Oh my god! The room was purple (my Fav color) and I had a balcony which had a full view of the beautiful beach behind my house. Our house wasn't near the city, but not quite near the beach. It was a few miles out, but I could still see the glistening water in the moonlight. My bathroom was huge! I was trying to figure out how my dad could afford this place but then it hit me.

Claudia's job. She's a doctor who specializes in surgery. She gets paid bookoo bucks. My dad's job helped a lot too. He's a lawyer. He gets paid just as much. Maybe even more. I sighed contentedly and changed into my pjs, which consisted of a big t-shirt and short shorts, and brushed my teeth before jumping into my bed. It was like heaven. I soon fell asleep seeing familiar orange eyes in my dreams.
