"Grab that box and throw it in the back please?" My dad asked while I was putting my last bag in his truck.

"Yeah." I said lifting it with a huff and put it in the back. "Hold on dad I think I forgot something inside." I said as I ran in the house and up to my room.

I had lived in this house since I was 3 and now I was moving 13 years later. I was really going to miss this place and everyone here. I met my bestfriend Grace on the roof one night when my parents were fighting and I had just learned to get to the roof above my room. That's when I was 12, she died 2 years later due to leukemia. My 14th year of my life was a shit storm. I mean it's kind of ok that we're leaving I won't be haunted by this house any longer, but I feel as if I will be leaving Grace.

"Hey honey, we have to get going soon. Your mom is at the new house as we speak." My dad yelled from downstairs.

"Okay dad." I yelled back sucking up my tears and grabbing the secret box that Grace left me that was in a compartment in the wall. She told me that if I were to ever leave that I had to take it and seal up the compartment. I grabbed the wood glue from my belt and squeezed it into the hole in the wall. I took a deep breath and placed the block in and sealed it.

"There Grace, it's sealed. I'm sorry for leaving you now, but mom and dad think it's better for me. I love you chicken butt." I chuckle-sobbed.

I heard the door to the room open and I was enveloped in strong warm arms.

"It's final now dad, I think I let her go." I cried.

"Oh sweetie, you don't have to let her go. We're just moving to a new town, she's in your heart Charlie. She always will be." He said hugging me tighter. I pulled back and wiped my face of my tears.

"Thank you dad."

"You're welcome, now let's go and meet your mom at the house I don't want to have her be there alone when the moving van gets there." I grabbed the box that had Gracie + Charlie friendship box written on it off the floor and placed it under my arm as we walked out of the house and hopped in the car.

I popped in my ear buds and played some music. I hummed along to Panic! at the Disco as I drifted off to sleep.

-------------------------

I opened up my eyes in time to see us entering the new town. We passed a lot of open woods trees before we got to the actual sign for the town.

Welcome to Crescent

I kind of found the name weird but then again it was kind of cool. I shuffled sitting up a bit so I could see out the window. We passed a drug store, a daycare, a hardware store, and a doctors office that all had the name Crescent in font of it.

"That's weird." I whispered to myself.

"Oh good you're up." My dad laughed. I sat up straight this time stretching.

"Guess so." I yawned. "These people sure like their town name." I laughed.

"Yeah...appears so." My dad chuckled. "Oh here we are, here's the new house hun."

I looked at the white two story house that had a long drive way leading up to it. It was beautiful but not too over done. My mom was standing on the porch talking to the guy that was unloading the moving truck. My dad parked the car and hopped out leaving me in the car. I unbuckled my seat belt and grabbed the box at my feet. When I brought my head back up I saw a few guys standing around my parents. My mom was smiling and pointing at boxes.

I would have been cooler about it but these guys were shirtless and unusually fit. My dad helped the guys take boxes in the house from the moving truck. There were two more guys that were standing in front of my mom. She was saying something and pointed at my dads truck. The two guys looked toward the truck and I ducked down. I waited a while and nothing had happened none of the doors had opened so I decided to try and get out before I had to talk to any of the shirtless guys.

I scooted toward the door so I was pressed against it and I reached for the handle. Before I could open it and sneak out, the door was yanked open and I fell to the floor on my ass.

"Oh shit sorry." The person chuckled. I was picked up by my waist and put on my feet. I was guessing by someone behind me because the guys in front of me was to busy laughing his ass off.

"Ow ow!" I said grabbing my hips and shooting guys number 2 a light glare. The guy had a strong grip.

"Sorry." He chuckled.

"Thanks anyway....uh?..."

"Duke." He said holding out his hand for me to shake.

"Nice to meet you Duke." I said shaking is hand. I grimaced at his firm handshake and he smiled.

"Hey you uh, dropped....this." Guy number one said picking up Gracie's box and inspecting it.

"Be careful with that." I snapped yanking it away. I lightly dusted it off and hugged it to my chest.

"Whoa, sorry my bad." He said shoving his hands in his back pockets. I looked up at him and noticed he had a snap back on and I rolled my eyes. "What?" He spoke up cocking an eyebrow at me.

"Nothing, Uhm...since I know Dukes name...what's yours." I questioned.

"I'm Grayson." He smiled as Duke walked around me and stood next to Grayson. They both toward over me since I was short.

"Okay, thanks Grayson, Duke. I'm going to go now." I awkwardly made my way around them and walked toward the house.
