OK guys, so I'm sorry I haven't been updating for a while, I've been having writers block mixed with trying to make a new book, so I haven't had the most free time, anyways thank for reading up to dis point, -Bye ^-^
P.S- I made this chapter extra long to say thanks for waiting!!

After I got home I quickly stopped. There was a bunch of police men scattered all over our house. What the- I didn't know if it was about me running away but I was about ninety-nine percent sure it wasn't me, I've only been gone for a few hours. As I scoot closer to investigate, I see my dad being handcuffed. I walked up to the officer,
"Officer, what's happening?"
The officer looked irritated like his had a 'very long day.' "Scat kid, were doing a prosecution" he waved me away.
I ran inside to see my mom talking to another cop. She looked very frustrated, just like the cop.
I looked around trying to find my siblings.I walked straight to our room to see them hiding in the closet. 'What's going on?' I mouthed..
"Kia, mommy and daddy said that we have to hide, so get over here!" Said A
"I don't like it" B said looking uncomfortable.
I squished in between them and closed the closet. I held A and B's had to keep them quiet. Both started to chuckle a little. I smiled, were gonna get through this.

My mom was standing in front of us putting her hand against her head. It looked like she was thinking hard. I never really noticed it but my mom's dark brownish hair started turning a little gray. I frowned knowing that gray hair came from stress. A few minutes later my mom put on her 'let's get this conversation started' look.
"Ok kids," it was obvious that she was covering the sadness in her breath, "I don't know how to explain this but, who's ready to travel?!" My mom tried to make it sound exciting. I knew it was gonna be trouble. A and B unsuspectedly raised their hands not knowing what's happening. I raised mine too, knowing that my mom had been through enough.
"OK kids!! Let's get ready!!" My mom plastered the best fake-smile she could come up with. I sighed.

After we finished packing, and getting dressed we got ready for the airplane.
"Where's daddy?" Was the question that kept coming up, but my mom just ignored it. When we got to the terminal my mom faced A, "Would you like to go have a vacation" with your great grandma Dyesibel?" A's face wrinkled, "No, mommy I wanna be with you!!" My mom's face saddened. I gave A, a 'just do it' look.
"I mean I would love to!!" She said in a different voice. My mom nodded, "Its only for a little while, I promise!!" A nodded then smiled, "Since I said yes, can I buy that that Tobleron bar?" She pointed at a triangular chocolate colored box. My mom nodded her head and gave her money. I knew it was my turn next.
"Now Kia would you like to go visit your aunts?"
"Ok" I said surrendering to the fact that we were all gonna be separated for a while. My mom flashed her most comforting smile. I hugged her. My sister came back and we hopped into the plane. I got ready to face reality.
~*~
My sister was finished being dropped of to g.g(great grandmother) Dyesibel. I hugged her, cried a little, more drama, then went to go meet my aunt after she finished talking to my mom.
Before my mom went, she put her hands under my chin tilting my head just so we could face each other. "Sweety i know that your too young to understand, but i hope that you can atleast know that this is just temporary. Things'll get better" My mom smiled as she waved goodbye.
My mom and B drove away and I was there left sitting in the couch with my belongings. My aunt (don't know her name yet) was right in front of me, just not saying anything.
I looked at her, she looked a bit like my mom. Probably in her early forties, but has a lighter colored brown hair. She didn't look like she was mean, but then again, its not like I would know. Maybe she's an abusive person, what if she didn't know that I was coming- wait! Maybe she's a murederer- no! mom wouldn't drop me of with someone like that..- Would she? I was so curious and my face probably showed it because my aunt was smiling just by looking at my expressions.
"You alright? It looks like your having some sort of attack there!" I laughed maybe she's not so bad.
"Hello, um, my name is Kia" I put a hand out for a handshake, I was taught it was respectful, my aunt just smiled ducked the handshake and went straight for the hug.
I flinched then hugged back. "I'm Nina," she said
It was so comforting that I started thinking about how my mom would hug me when i felt sad. This is just temporary - I thought back to what my mom said. As I was still being embraced in a captivating, and comfortable hug, my eyes started getting heavier, and before I knew it I was fast asleep.
