A time in the woods

Packing and leaving

A week later is when the Winfield siblings would leave the next day. With that news they headed upstairs to pack. Aparosa first went to her brothers room. 'Gosh. With them in here ill never get this cleaned up.' "Boys. Go outside and play ill get this packed up" she said. So with identical smiles they said their thanks and ran out to play ball. 'Where to begin... the clothes'

She pulled out two suitcases and then pulled absolutely everything out of their drawers. She placed all the clothes on the bed. She began sorting through what fit and what didn't. After that she put them all in the bottom of the suitcases. Isaac's suitcase was Blue, Elman's was red. Next, she collected all the toys and books around the room and put them on top. She grabbed Isaac's tablet and cord and brought it to her room. Rosa knew he would take it out and forget it.

She slowly closed the door behind her, taking a deep breath in. They were really doing this. She walked over to her bed and kneeled beside it. Reaching under, she pulled out her own suitcase and bag. Aparosa went over to her closet and opened the tall doors. Inside were all her many stylish clothing articles. Slowly, they were all removed from her hangers and folded nicely before packed away. Reaching up to the top shelf, she pulled all her books down. The teen placed them all in her green backpack.

It may seem funny to others that she had stuffed animals still. They had a special place in her her heart. They were comforting, each one held memories. Therefore, they were last to be packed away. Gently placed on top. Hopefully this will be the last time she has to pack. She took them down the stairs and in front of the door. Going upstairs to grab her brothers cases. She balanced out her body and headed back to PT them by the front door too. Seeing as it is their last day there, Aparosa joined her brothers outside. The girl was extremely happy to see her brothers playing together rolling around outside. For the first time in months, Isaac was playing outside  instead of on a tablet. They were getting along instead of fighting.

Checking her left pocket, she reached her hand down, then her right. Ok she thought both inhalers are here. Both her and Elman had asthma. The motto "you never no what may happen?" She lives by It. "Hey boys!" Rosa yelled. "Sissy!!!" The brothers yelled simultaneously. Her smile widened even more; she loved when they called her that. "What are we going to play?" She asked approaching them. Isaac was the first to respond "tigers".  " No I want to play tag!" Elman pouted, ready to punch his older brother. Sensing an upcoming fight, Rosa was quick to act. "Hey, hey. None of that. How about we play tag" as Isaac was about to complain, she continued "but as tigers!" Both boys cheered finding such a game impossible. "How do we play sissy?" Elman asked. "Well we have to crawl around, and the tiger -the person who's it- has to chase after them like that. If they pounce on you...YOU'RE OUT!" She yelled the last part causing them both to jump. "Ill be it" she said. And they all started to crawl as fast as they could. 2 hours later they finally stopped a they heard "dinner!!" From the house. Aparosa brushed herself and her brothers off before they walked inside.

No one said a single word at dinner. You could hear a pin drop. After, Mrs. Cooper told the boys to take a shower, Aparosa after. She said "It would be rude to show up dirty. Like you all did with me". Once showers were done and teeth were brushed, they all got into their jammies and went to the boys room. " Alright what chapter are we on?" Aparosa asked slipping on her glasses and opening "The boxcar children beginning" "6. A small dot in a big world" Elman answered. "So you were listening" the oldest child answered in half disbelief. With that she began to read. Two chapters were read before she kissed their foreheads and headed to her room.

Not even an hour after laying there, Isaac opened his sister's door. "Are you awake?" He asked. "Yeah buddy" she answered. "Can I sleep in here?" He asked. He was answered by Rosa lifting her blankets for him to crawl in. He smiled and ran over. She knew he would come, and she was sure it wouldn't be too long before Elman entered too. As if it was jinxed, her door opened yet again. She sighed with a smile and pulled the blankets back again. He quickly closed the door and slipped under the covers.

Beep! beep! beep! beep! 6:00 and the alarm went off. Aparosa got out of bed and woke her brothers. She gave them the only clothes she left out and sent them to their room. She changed into her own and stuffed her jammies in a leftover bag. When her brothers came back she did the same with theirs. She packed away their tooth brushes. With that they headed downstairs to say their goodbyes. (Not writing the goodbyes bc I don't want to. And the foster parents are jerks) After that they went outside. 5 minutes later a white SUV pulled up. A worker stepped out and opened the door greeting us. "Hiya!" (Pennywise) She said. "You ready to go to your uncle's?" We nodded and entered the car. She went inside to talk to the Cooper's.

After ten minutes she came back out. She entered and said "Alright let's go! I think your gonna like it there." With that we began the drive, looking at our old home until it was out a sight. A new adventure.
