Opals Pov.

The bitterness between my parents has lasted a long time. Too long. I can remember when it all started when I was roughly 7 years old.

The constant arguing, the cheating, the backstabbing... It was like watching two toddlers have a temper tantrum everyday for ten years.

Thankfully, they didn't bring any other children into the mess they made.

After finally getting a divorce, my mom forced me to pack all my things and move with her. Considering my father had multiple battery charges at this point and I was almost 18, the court decided that my mom should have full custody of me.

Honestly, I'm just excited to stop having to hear them bicker every night and get a good night's rest.

This new house that my mom had found was a little old but has, "a lot of potential" she says.

She got it for a very cheap price. The only problem is, is that it's 2 hours away from my childhood home, my friends, my father, everything...

I knew she wanted to start over but that didn't mean I wanted to as well.

On our way there, she is telling me about how this would be great for us but all I hear her say is how it would be great for her. I just tell her it's okay, not wanting to start conflict on the highway, and place my earbuds in my ears.

Soon I fall asleep listening to one of my favorite songs as my mother drives us to the middle of fucking no where.
