God Gave Me You
(1)
I knew this day was coming, I just didn’t want to admit it. Weeks of packing up all my stuff, and dad confirming things over with my new school, Lanier High. It sounded dumb to me, to pack up your entire life and move across the country for some dumb job offer. We were perfectly happy without my mom. Jordyn, my little sister, doesn't even really remember her. She left us with my dad in New York, New York. One day she just got up and walked out. I blame her for the heartache on my dad, but he got over it supposedly. Jordyn was only 3 while I was 10. I'm 16 now, and shes 9. My entire life has been here in New York. David, the only true love of my entire life and Sammie, my best friend who has gotten me through all the ups and downs.
I always thought of my life as invincible, like Superman. It had been going perfect, then my dad came home from work and bluntly said "We are moving to Alabama." I thought he was kidding so I laughed and said "Okay I'm going to David's. Have fun planning our 'move'". I found out the following day he was serious. I was crushed. I screamed at him, I cried, I said I hated him, I didn't mean it though. He's the best father anybody could ask for, but how could he do this to me? I'm dying of heartbreak over here and I can't do anything at all. Sammie said I could move in with her, but I'm not ready to leave my dad with Jordyn. She's a hassle and that'd pretty much show my dad how much I 'loved' him.
"Calynn. I love you. I'll love you every day until the end of forever. Calynn, do you think we could do this? Have a long distance relationship?" David asked me.
"We've been through so much together. We're juniors, and it's halfway through the year. Think you can last a half a year until I come back for summer?"
"Of course." David said, so simply. He hugged me tight until Sammie broke in, and broke down.
"Sammie. I'll be back. I promise. I'll come over the summer. And I'll come over scheduled breaks. I promise I'm coming back for you two." I said before I started crying in Sammie's shoulder. Jordyn then called me a baby, and told me to get in the truck. She seemed happy about moving. I don't know why, at all. Jordyn was a city girl, she loved shopping, the city lights, and the changing weather. She doesn't even like country music and she doesn't own a pair of cowboy boots, so what's so exciting in Alabama for her? I looked at both David and Sammie and said "I promise I'll be back".
17 hour drive, just great. Montgomery, Alabama, here I come.
