Moving Out

Moving Out is the third chapter of The Two Cats, and was published on February 2, 2019.

Moving Out goes over the events that happened following the past events gone over in The Journal and goes after Expi's family moving after her parents had divorced.

Following the Divorce
Expi, still feeling horrible for what happened the night before, gets up in the morning with a headache after not being able to get much sleep. She felt immensive guilt for what happened with her parents, and didn't know what was going to happen with her family after those events. Her mom calls a family meeting at noon that day going over what was going on between her and their father, before going out for the day.

The Move
As time goes on, Expi's mom starts to have trouble keeping the house, and in the end decides to move them out to their aunt and uncle's home in New Yolk City. This brings back a lot of Expi's guilt, as they begin the process of moving, especially at one point in the process when Nicki gives her the picture that she drew, but with their dad torn off. This gives Expi a lot of bad feelings, but she proceeds to help her sister pack it before they leave.

New Yolk City
The Feliton family arrives at their aunt and uncle's house in New Yolk City, where Expi's mom tells them not to bring up politics, even as Expi's uncle is seen in the living room watching "Fox" News and complaining about liberals. Expi decides not to get into it, runs upstairs, and starts crying to herself over what had happened over the past few days and the guilt she felt. As she returns to school, she ends up keeping these bad feelings as she has trouble fitting into a new environment, and decides to talk to the school counselor, who tells her to talk to her mom about how she's feeling. That night, she returns home and talks to her mother about what is going on, and if it is in any way her fault for what had happened between her parents. Expi's mom tells her that she didn't really have anything to do with it, since they were having trouble getting along for the past time period, and that her calling the police was very much justified. She goes in the next day with a better mood, and bonds with a few new friends at her new school after eavesdropping on their discussion over Friendship is Magic.
