Breaky-break
Work is insane lately; I can't mentally manage myself and feel overwhelmed in all aspects of life these days. Taking a much-needed break from all socials to get my mind set right. I will be randomly poking in to check on you all. Just wanted to say keep posting so I have lots to catch up when I do come back! I will miss you all. Have the most amazing days, until we meet again. 馃

Silas and I grew quite fond of each other over the next few months. We began spending more time together in and out of school. Since he only lived a few houses down from us, he and his family would join us for barbecues and game nights too. Our mamas developed a nice friendship as well. Daddy liked Silas, mostly because he was very respectful and old fashioned. Well liked and had a friendly demeanor about him. He was quite the gentleman for his young age.
Things finally seemed to be looking up since our move from the city. At times though, I felt a sense of shame because in the back of my mind minuet thoughts of Danny would pass through from time to time and I couldn't understand why. I'd shove them into the back of my brain and ponder on. Jack and Donna wrote letters religiously, but Danny, I hadn't heard a peep from since the night at Pinky's diner back in Brooklyn.

*BELL RINGS* It nearly scared me half to death. I was to blame, I had spent the entire class day dreaming about 29th Street back in Brooklyn. I shut my book and hurried out of the classroom.
As pairs and groups of friends passed me by in the hallways engulfed in their own little worlds - filling each others ears with gossip quickly between classes, I was invisible. Passing by as quickly as my feet would allow to get from point A to point B to hopefully pass the school day by faster to get home. On this particular day, a familiar voice echoed from behind me as the hallway began to clear as the final bell grew closer.
June: Silas?
Silas smirked, he had a gentle smile: Are you surprised to see me? Or having trouble remembering if that's my name?
June smiled: The first one, I guess.
Silas: Suburbs don't have as many schools as the city, less populated area and all. You'll see a lot of familiar faces between here and around and about in town.
There was a moment of awkward silence, he was taller than I'd remembered on my hunt for Motown, but it was pretty dark outside.
Silas cleared his throat, he smelled so clean with a hint of mint: Are you finding your way around the building alright?
June: Just dandy, it's much smaller than my school in the city - it was easy to navigate.
Thinking of my old school made me sad, I guess I wore it across my face because Silas patted my back with an 'are you okay?'.
The corner of my mouth turned up in a fake smile: Yes, I'm quite alright.
Silas: Did you ever find your dog? The other night?
June: Yeah, he was back at the house by the time mama and I got back from our search. Little rascal of a dog.
*FINAL BELL RINGS*
June: UGH! I'm late again, it was really nice seeing you again.
Silas hollered as I rushed off to my next class: I hope to see you again soon!
I had no time to respond or glance back, I just waved as I skedaddled off to my next class in hopes the teacher wouldn't mark me late, again.

Walter: Good morning dearest. You look splendid this morning.
LouAnn smiled and took her place beside Walter, he set down his newspaper: Oh dear, is everything alright? You should have been to work by now?
Walter smirked: Ahh, not when I am allowed to take paid days off, my dear. You always mention how you miss when I was spontaneous in our younger days, let's have a family fun day!
LouAnn smiled and kissed his cheek gently: Darling dear, June is already at school for the day.
Walter frowned: She isn't adjusting well to all of this, is she?
LouAnn: She'll be just fine, she's a strong girl.
Walter pressed his forehead against LouAnn's: Like her mother.
LouAnn: I'll still take you up on that spontaneous family fun day. How about it sweetheart?
Walter smiled: It's lovely being able to do this with you, dear. It's almost as if we're young all over again.
LouAnn giggled: Dust off that old leather jacket and it sure would be.
Walter let out a laugh: I doubt it would still fit. [he patted his gut while laughing].
LouAnn: You are just as handsome as the day you courted me, my love. Let me freshen up my powder and we will go get some lunch. [LouAnn glanced around]. Now where is that dog before we go?

I saw mama in the distance finishing up at the last house on the block. She made her way back towards me and Silas. I tried to abruptly end the conversation before she reached us.
June: Well, I ought to keep looking for him, thanks again for keeping an eye out!
Silas: Sure thing. See you at school.. I hope?
June smiled and nodded in agreement and that point Mama had reached us and she immediately gave me a hopeful, excited expression behind Silas's back signaling 'make friends'. Mama introduced herself to Silas and they small talked for just a moment before we continued our hunt for Motown.

Motown was as rotten as they came, he did what he pleased and when he pleased. Daddy was losing his top over his behavior, but mama kept reassuring him with time, Motown would be the world's best dog.
Walter: June! Honey! The dog is whining again.
I hurried into the room with a smile on my face.
June: I'll take him out, he probably needs to go potty.
Walter rolled his eyes: Well get to it dear, I'd rather my floors stay clean.
Daddy grabbed his coffee and newspaper from the counter and headed to his study. I sighed when he left the room, I couldn't let him see, but Motown was a lot of work.
Motown loved to wander the town. He loved to run away the first chance he got if we didn't keep a watchful eye on the doors.
June: MOTOWN! HERE BOY!
Gosh, my feet were tired. Mama and I knocked on just about every door and searched high and low for him, but to no avail.
??: Is everything alright?
June blushed a bit: Oh, hi.. Quite alright, my dog has run away, we're trying to find him.
??: Haven't seen any dogs running a muck around here, but if I do I can bring him on home, where do you live?
June: Just down the street, house number 29. We just moved in a few months ago.
??: [smiled] I'll keep an eye out, the name's Silas. Welcome to the neighborhood.
June smiled: Thanks, I'm June.
We shook hands, he had soft hands with a firm grip. He was handsome, tall and smelled swell.

To put it bluntly, I hated it here. I was not adjusting well like mama had promised I would. Though the town itself was well populated with plenty to do, I hadn't made any friends at my new school yet and everything seemed too quiet for my taste. The people here were different from the city folk, a bit stuck up if you ask me.
Our next door neighbor is an elderly widow who seemed to be angry all of the time. Even when mama had brought her one of her home made pies, she declined the gesture and not politely as I was told, I wasn't there to witness the interaction. Word around school was she murdered multiple husbands and had their corpses buried spontaneously through out her garden, just beyond her white picket fence, but mama says it's hearsay and I shouldn't put my nose into it.
The only good thing that's come of this move so far is Motown. A cute little pup mama and daddy adopted for me. I think they got sick of seeing my face shoved into a book while withering away in my bedroom all day long. Either way, he's a good distraction.

OH OH OH!!!!! I LOVE A GOOD 50s scene!
Remington's Ruse
1 Remington Point
Jasper Remington:
"Welcome esteemed guests, as we traverse through these halls of reverence and eccentricity. To some, it may be known as a peculiar masterpiece nestled atop a hill in the quaint town of Riverview, to others, perhaps, an eyesore鈥攂ut to those of us who have the privilege to journey through her walls, to explore her architecture, we will come to understand, as the tour commences, that this house is not merely a testament to my unwavering vision and unbridled passion. Rather, it is a manifestation of divine intervention, granting me the ability to design this home with purpose and meaning."
Cody Remington: Hey lady, are you lost or something?
"Pardon me, seems I've wandered too far. What a charming bedroom. Is it yours?"
Cody: Yes Ma'am. Mine and my little sister's... Our bedroom isn't open to the public.
"Of course, not. My apologies. I was just finishing up my tour here. I wouldn't want to impose any longer." The visitor replied with a courteous smile, nodding to Cody before turning to leave the bedroom.
Cody: [Cocks eyebrow, softens tone] ...Need a hand there, ma'am? Could I carry your bag for you or something?
"Oh, goodness, no! No, thank you sweetheart, I'm perfectly capable. You take good care now, okay?"
Cody: Yes ma'am, likewise.
Eileen Remington: Who the hell are you?
"Morgana Wolff." She spoke, so sweetly.
Eileen: [Takes a long drag of cigarette, exhales] And what are you lookin' at, Morgana Wolff?
Morgana: Nothing. Just all the smoke and ash that fills this home.

While Danny was going to pay the bill, I found a bench just out front and sat taking in the night air. There was the most faint, subtle breeze in the air, the distant sounds of honking horns, engines revving and buzzing street lights danced in my ears.
Danny approached me: Ready to skedaddle?
He must've noticed I was enjoying this moment because he sat down beside me instead of saying anything else.
Danny: Pretty sky tonight, ain't it?
June: It's more the noise than the visuals for me.
Danny raised an eyebrow: All that ruckus? You must belong in the coo coo nest. [chuckles]
June smiled: I guess it's things we don't really think about until we're about to lose them..
Danny: You ain't losin' nothin'. You're gonna be an hour away, you can come visit whenever, it ain't like anybody is dyin'. There's much worse things a person can go through June.
June: Easy for you to say when you're not the one being forced away from everything you know and love.
Danny: I lost my Pop's in the war.. [sighs] point is, sometimes life throws us punches and we don't get a say. We gotta just take the punches as they come and come back swingin', otherwise life eats us alive. Ya pickin' up what I'm puttin' down dolly?
June: When you're not being a total dingbat, you're not so bad. I'm real sorry about your dad. I never got to tell you how sorry I was. I know you were real close with him.
Danny: I ain't tryin' to make this about me, I just think you need to look at it from a different view is all.
I smile at him: Thank you.
Danny: Don't be gettin' soft on me now, [smirks] we gotta keep you tough as nails, you gotta show them suburbian folks what us city folks are made of. Give 'em hell you square.
I smiled at him and leaned into him with my shoulder.
Danny stood up: Let's get to walkin', if I get you home any later your daddy will have my head. Do ya my jacket? You chilly?
I stood up and began walking beside him towards 29th Street: I'm quite alright, thank you.
We pleasantly small talked the rest of our walk home.

Pinky's diner was a few blocks walk from ours, by the time we got there the sun had set, but that's when Pinky's really got to hoppin'. Or so that's what I've heard, I've never actually been aloud to go before on my own.
I wasn't too happy about Danny tagging along, but Betty told mama he had to, he was grounded. He was behaving quite pleasant for once. We sat in that booth and laughed for hours.
Donna: I can't believe I got to come to Pinky's, ma said since you're leaving she made the exception and allowed it. If it gets me outta babysitting I'm happy.
Jack laughed and shoved more fries in his mouth: You're never gonna want kids of your own after raisin' all them wild childs.
Danny took a chug of his coke: Are you sad? 'Bout leavin'?
I shrugged: I'll miss you guys, school, my house.. Everything.
Jack: Come on now Danny, we're having fun, don't be a buzz kill.
Danny smirked at me then looked down at his plate. My heart fluttered a bit in that quick moment.
Donna got up and grabbed her sweater from the back of her chair: I've got to get on home, mama said not too late. See you at school Monday.
Jack followed: I'll walk ya home Donna Sue. Danny, you'll make sure June gets back just fine now won't ya?
Danny nodded in assurance to his brother.

The next few days I moped around at the thought of leaving. This was home. I didn't even want to be around daddy, he was so happy about his promotion, I didn't want him to know I wasn't and putting the act on around him was exhausting.
LouAnn: Whatever are you doing out here dearest? It looks like rain.
Mama sat beside me. I explained to her how I felt and she understood. In her calming way, she made everything seem okay in the world.
LouAnn: I've got to finish supper, daddy and I talked and we think you should go on down to Pinky's with your friends, it'd be nice for you to spend time with them.
My face lit up: Pinkys?! Really?
LouAnn's smile over took her face: It's nice to see your face do something other than pout lately dearest. Go have fun, I already talked to Betty, she said the boys can go, they'll make sure you get home safely.
June; Oh mama! Thank you!
I hugged her so tight.

I rang for Jack and Donna to come over as quickly as possible. I needed my best friends in that moment of atomic news.
Donna: They can't force you to go.. Can they?
June: Of course they can, they're my parents. I'm only fifteen, what kind of say does a fifteen year old have?
Donna sighed: And I thought my life was rough always watching over all of my siblings. What're you gonna do?
I face palmed: I've thought about running away, hiding in one of your closets. They'd quit looking after a while, right?
Jack: Not your parents, they'd burn the whole city down looking for you.
Donna: The suburbs are becoming very popular. I heard on the news the city is seeing the highest number of folks fleeing from them than they ever have before.
Jack: Well gee whiz Donna Sue, you really know how to shed light on a situation, don't ya?
Donna punched Jack's upper arm forcefully, he rubbed it and laughed.
Jack: Maybe it won't be such a bad thing, I spend every summer out in the suburbs at grandma's and it's real nice. Crime rates ain't like they are here and it's real pretty out there. All them trees, grass.. Birds and ya can't beat the quiet. It's peaceful.
Typical Jack, always trying to make any situation seem hopeful.
June sarcastically: Just what everyone wants, quiet and trees, easier to be kidnapped in.
Jack nodded with a smirk: If you ain't getting kidnapped in the city, you sure as heck ain't getting kidnapped out in the suburbs. It's safer out there, crime is rising here. Between the greasers and gangs Ya can't hardly walk the streets of Flatbush anymore without being in danger.
Donna's jaw dropped: I live in Flatbush and he isn't wrong June. Besides, it's not like it's across the Country. We can still see each other and write all of the time.
LouAnn walked up behind us: Donna, your mother just telephoned, she needs you home for help and June, I'd like to have a word once you're done chatting with your friends dear.
Donna jumped up swiping her skirt with her hands: Thank you Mrs. Cavello, see you guys later.
She hurried off, Donna usually had to abruptly run home to help out with her siblings.
I sighed heavily: That's just great, I wonder how much she over heard. I'll be grounded forever.
Jack: I gotta get inside anyway, haven't even started my homework. Don't let this get ya down June. It'll be alright. I'll catch ya later.

LouAnn: It's a beautiful night, the most perfect breeze in the air.
June: It's a bit chilly, but that's to be expected this time of year.
LouAnn: Would you like to get a sweater before we get further from the house dear?
June shrugged: It's okay, I'll be just fine once the blood starts flowing.
Mama smiled gently and cleared her throat slightly.
LouAnn: Darling, you know how your father has been working long days and waiting for that big promotion to come in?
June smiled: It's hard to miss when all he seems to talk about is work lately mama.
LouAnn: Well, dear, it's finally happened. Daddy is over the moon about it. It's a big pay raise and well, a big move as well.
I felt my heart skip a gear into over drive: Big move?
LouAnn stopped walking: The company wants him to manage their new site out in the suburbs. I know it sounds rather alarming, but he believes this is what's best for our family.
June: Which suburbs mama? How far are we talking?
LouAnn: Well, my dearest, it'll be just an hour drive away, on the outskirts of the city. There's a great school there and we'll have a big old yard, we can start that garden we've always talked about. It'll be devine!
June pouted: An hour drive?! My school here is just fine.. My friends are here. I don't want to move mama--
LouAnn: Now, June we have to be considerate of how hard your father has worked for all of this. How much this all means to him.
I took a deep breath and clasped my hands together: Yes ma'am.
LouAnn kissed June cheek quickly, you could see her eyes were beginning to pool with tears: You take a moment for yourself, I'm going to go take my evening shower. Come inside by the time the street lights go on.

The next week or so mama and daddy kept acting a bit strange. I'd go to school as normal, come home, tend to my studies and then hang with Jack and Donna as much as always.
Walter: Darling, we need to tell June about the move. She's a bright girl I'm sure she is suspecting of something. Hiding something was never your strong suit.
LouAnn smiled: I'll tell her on our walk after supper.
Walter: That is a swell idea my love.
