Chapter 33

"Your moving!" Hanna screamed as she barged in my room.
"Yep."
"Oh hells to the no!"
"Han calm down." Aria said placing a hand on her shoulder but she pushed it off.
"I will not!"
"What does Toby think?" Aria asked.
"He seems okay."
"That's bullshit." Hanna said picking at her manicured nails.
"Hanna!" Aria yelled.
"It's true! He would move with you if he could."
"My mom would never let that happen." I said putting my head in my hands.
"Spence." She said lowering her voice and sitting next to me on the bed.
I then let tears fall and collapsed onto her lap.
"Shhh." She said as she stroked my hair.
"Aria could you get us some tea?" She asked quietly.
"Ya. Sure." She said walking out.
I reached across for a tissue out of the which would have probably been the 50th box today.
"Spence I'm so sorry."
"I know, I know."
"Wait your house what about it?"
"She's putting it up for sale."
"What!"
"Most likely Wren and Melissa will move in."
"Not happening."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean. I've always pictured you and Toby in this house. Not Wren or Melissa or their alien child."
I laughed.
"I'm serious."
"I know. But Han we can't possibly have enough money to do that in less than twelve hours."
"You have no faith in me."
"I do. It just thats not practical."
"Sure it is. Now you and Aria stay here while I work my magic."
I flopped back down on my bed.
"This is a disaster!"
"What is a disaster?"
I explained to Aria everything Hanna told me and her mouth dropped.
"I'm sorry Spence but that plan is one that will fail."
"I know." I said taking sip of my tea too fast then burning my tongue.
