Don't Forget to Remember Me
Born 1997, F, from Hammond, WI, United StatesThe stars are all silent tonight. I guess it's no different than any other night in this disappointing town. In Texas, the stars shine loud and bright and clear and the nights were as lively as Las Vegas. Here, in Wisconsin, it's dead at night, and there's nothing amazing about the stars in the sky, and I don't care for them to shine into my bedroom, as I always wanted back home.
Although, I miss more than just the stars from my home-state, I miss the quiet, warm places and my quiet bedroom. Now, we live by a freeway, so it is constant noises of cars zooming by, everyone moving on with their busy lives. Which brings me to another discomfort I have with this town, there is nothing to do in the middle of nowhere by a freeway, and I am not use to not having something to do, and being stuck in a small space with nowhere to go.
I wish we didn't have to move, I have no friends here and everything is so different, different rules and different environment. I didn't mention why we moved, did I? Well, we moved, all this way from Texas to Wisconsin, because my father got a really good job here, and I while I am so happy for him, I wish he knew how much I wish we could've stayed.

I am glad that I still talk to my friends that I had to unfortunately leave behind in Texas; because, if I didn't I wouldn't be taking this move as lightly as I am. Although we still talk, it doesn't change how much I miss them. I wish that I knew I was going to go back to visit, but I couldn't say that for sure. Another thing that sucks about moving is that my birthday is in 2 days, and more than anything I wanted my best friend there.. Because my biggest loss moving here was leaving my best friend Hazel behind. Hazel understood me, she was my other half and nothing could've taken us apart, between boys and jobs, we were inserperable, besides now of course. We still talk and Skype, but I know it won't be the same without her here on my birthday. It will be my 17th birthday, a Golden one at that, and I just can't help but wonder, if it will even be special with none of my friends or extended family there to spend it with me?
My father says I'll be fine, but he doesn't know how crushed I am to be away from Hazel and my grandparents and everyone. Today is my birthday and it's pretty hard, but I'm dealing with it, I actually was pretty happy that my dad flew out my grandparents for the week, just for my birthday. They got me a new cell phone and bought me a new tablet so I could Skype Hazel. Once I got my new tablet, that was the first thing I did.
"BLOOP BLOOP BLOOP" the Skype call blurts out the loud obnoxious noise.
"Hello?" Hazel says as she connects.
"HEY girl! How are you? I miss you!!!" I squeal.
"Hey! Happy Birthday Beautiful! I miss you too! How are YOU?" She starts to ask.

"Thank You! And, ehh, I'm good, I would be better if I never had to move. It's so cold up here, you wouldn't believe." I say.
"Ohh, I could believe it. But your cutting out, can I call you back later?"
"Um, sure.. I guess. You aren't cutting out on me but okay, I will talk to you later!" I finish end click the 'End' button.
That was weird, I think to myself, but brush it off, as my father asks me how talking to her went.
"Good," I reply, "but we didn't talk for long.. she said I was cutting out, but I could hear and see her perfectly."
"Hmm, weird. Maybe she's just busy." He replies.
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
Someones at the door, but who? We just moved in, nobody even knows who we are yet. I walk slowly to the door, and as I reach it I turn the handle to open it, it creaks open as I look up to see my best friend Hazel, standing at my door. Here. In Wisconsin. On my birthday.
I turn to my dad, my eyes fill up with tears and I turn back to hug Hazel tighter than ever, I couldn't be happier at that moment in time.
