They Say That ALL Beauty Must Die.

The truck driver was being really quiet. Even though I had my headphones on, I could still feel the awkward silence between us and it was kind of creeping me out.
I turned up the volume on my phone trying to ignore that he was even there.
I just about dozed off into a deep sleep, but it put the truck to a full stop and it made me jerk forward. He looked at me and said
"Bathroom break."
and hopped out of the truck. I felt really, really creeped out by the way he would look at me.
I pushed it behind my head and got out of the vehicle. I didn't need the bathroom, I just needed air and to exercise my legs. I stood outside of the truck for a good ten minutes, and the driver wasn't back yet. I was getting impatient, but I didn't wanna be a bitch and tell him to hurry.
I almost forgot that I had a pack of smokes, so I decided to spark one up. Yes.. I smoke. So much surprises. I took my lighter out of my pocket and lit the cigarette. I took one long puff and just let it burn in my lungs for a bit before I blew it out. People say you can't taste anything in a cigarette, but I can..and people call me weird for that.
10 more minutes passed by and the driver was still taking long. I started to get really impatient, so I walked into the store to go look for him.
I walked in and seen people shooting me looks of confusion. I got a little scared, but I immediately went towards the chips stand and looked around for him. I spotted him flirting with some lady.
I felt sorry for the lady because she looked like she was trying to leave, but he wouldn't let her.
I got slightly pissed off so I went walking up to him and said,
"I've been waiting for you for too long.. can we go now?" He gave me that look on anger but I ignored it. He said okay and we were out the door.
I looked back at the woman he was flirting and I saw her mouth "Thank you". Instead of saying anything, I just waved.

We were 3 more hours away from Huntington Beach. I wasn't excited and I wasn't nervous. The only people I knew over there, were my aunt & uncle. They didn't have any kids, so that meant that I had no cousins. I pulled my headphones back up to my ears and flipped through my playlist of songs. I decided to listen to that song "Second Heartbeat". It didn't show the artists' name on my phone so I just ignored it. I liked the drums in the song and the screaming. It sounded so cool.
Since we were still a long way from Huntington, I decided to sleep the rest of the way there.
About 10 minutes passed and the driver nudged me,
"We're here."
It felt like I only slept for 10 minutes, but I opened my house and it was the evening. I put my headphones down to my neck and opened the door to get out of the truck. The driver asked me if I needed help with moving my stuff. I told him no.
I stood there for a minute and then I heard a door slam. I looked up and saw my aunt was running towards me with a big smile on her. I returned it with a smile of my own. She gave me a hug and I hugged her back even tighter. I was closer to her than I was to my uncle.
She put my face in her heads and spoke,
" I'm sorry about your mom. If you need to talk to someone, your uncle & I are here for you."
I smiled softly and gave her another hug. My aunt Rose reminded me so much of my mom, so I'm glad that I'm moving but feeling a bit shitty for leaving my dad.
She offered to help move my stuff inside. I accepted so I went to go open the huge door of the moving. She took a bunch of boxes as I did the same. Everything was already packed out.
I was about to start unpacking my drum kit, but my uncle Mike stopped me and told me that he would do it. I gave him a small smile and took a box filled with my toiletries.
I walked into the house and it was much bigger than mine. I admired the house and got lost in my train of thought. My aunt nudged me and laughed.
I laughed with her and she started to take my stuff upstairs. I followed closely behind with a couple boxes. We reached on top of the stairs, she put the boxes she had down and opened a door, revealing a big, nice room. She gave me a reassuring smile and gestured me to go in.
I walked in and OH MY GAWSH, this room was awesome.
I had black bed sheets, pillow cases and blankets. I had grey walls with white flowers decorating it. I loved here already. I set the boxes down and went to give my aunt a big warm hug. She gave me one of her beautiful smiles and began to speak,
"Your uncle & I have worked on this really hard. I'm glad you like it."
I stopped hugging her and just looked around with a hug smile on my face. I thanked her and she told me supper would be ready in a bit. She walked out and I just jumped onto the bed. It was so comfy. I almost fell asleep but my uncle Mike knocked lightly on my door and I sat up on my bed and asked him whats up. He told me, my drum kit was set up. I thanked him and gestured me to follow him. I got up off the bed and followed him down to the basement.
He set up my drum set perfectly but I noticed something was different. I couldn't make out what it was. But then I finally did and I noticed he got me an extra bass drum!
I gasped and went to go hug him. I had a huge smile on my face and sat down on my chair. I've always asked my dad to get me an extra bass drum, he just never got it.
My uncle walked out and left me alone. I began to play a beat and lost myself in it. I played and played until I noticed my aunt was standing at the door. I finished my little jam sesh and she started to clap. I stood up from the chair and took a little bow. She told me supper was ready so I followed her upstairs into the kitchen.
We sat down and began to eat. We had pork chops, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. I haven't ate like this in a while so I devoured it in almost 4 minutes.
My aunt began to laugh at me. I gave her a shy smile and went to go put my plate in the sink. I grabbed a glass from the cupboard, and grabbed the juice out of the fridge. I filled up my glass and sat down at the table with my aunt & uncle.
My aunt stopped eating for awhile. She rubbed her hands together and started to talk,
"You're gonna be starting school tomorrow."
I said okay and she began to eat again. I finished up my juice and put my cup on the counter. I began to walk out of the kitchen but my uncle stopped me. He grabbed my hands and told me that it'll be alright.
I gave him a reassuring smile and went up to my room.
I took off my clothes and got into my pajamas. I put my dirty clothes in a basket, in the corner of the room.
I shut off the lights and crawled into bed. My eyelids began to feel heavy.
Just before I fell asleep, I spoke to myself..
"Everything will be alright.."
