Long time Lurker, first time writer. Never done any real writing like this, so sorry if I don’t make the cut here. Open to hear good and bad.

“Yeah babe, might as well see if anyone else is in, the house will be empty. Yeah I’m on the road now, an hour and a half out. Love you too”
Hanging up with a sigh I rubbed the back of my neck. Long days packing,
moving, and driving everyday for 2 weeks had started to take its toll. After I graduated high school the folks decided to move so Dad wasn’t working so far away. I was taking a year before college doing odd jobs around our small town. It made sense for me to do most of the moving and pocket the money that would go to movers anyways.
I would have worked right through this weekend but the folks insisted “it’s new years and you’ll have the house to yourself, invite Liz and your friends and have a no guilt house party!” I wasn’t that big of a party goer so it’s not like we’d trash the place. Glancing over at my phone there was no light, no one yet had answered my text. They probably all had made plans without me, and I didn’t judge as they all thought I was busy. Besides, it would just give me and Liz more time to ourselves.
