DROWNING

✓3🖤

I jumped on my bed. It's always me, my bed, my pillow and I.

So boring.

Now, it'd be his house, his rooms his bed, his pillow and i don't know yet.

Tom i mean.

I miss dad. I don't want to agree with him but I have to o ne realistic.

Phil's right.

Kathy cannot be trusted with our family treasures and dad's companies.

Even if she cares bout us, she can't give us the love our family would give us.

She'd prolly get up one day and make us scrub the floor, stop school and all. Seems so unlike her but it's something that can apparently happen

I'd miss her too tho. I'd miss everything here. And Kaylee...

She'd be broken. I want to be a part of her life. I can still be right?

Yeah.. I should still be.

I'll try to live with it. Tommy's a good man. He's always been my favorite uncle.

I'll have to tell Kaylee.

"Kaylee!" I screamed.

"Yeah biggy, I'm coming! Give me a sec." She yelled back.

Just then, she came came running to my room. Her mouth was stained or rather.. designed with chocolate.

Gosh! Kids!

"Why are you calling me biggy?

What's that?" I asked her.

"Well... Erm.. big sis.... That's so much stress and boring to say. So, I removed the sis". She smiled with chocolate on her teeth making her look creepy.

"Then that would be big not biggy." I raised an eyebrow.

"Oh come on kirah! Just add a little style to it. A little sauce to it. I added gy for the sauce you old fashion teen! Big is so boring! How are you even able to say it without..y'know almost puking your lungs out? It's weird! She finished and I sighed.

"Biggy is even more weird! How bout you simply call me kirah?" I feigned a small smile, masking the urge in me to hit her  for her head to be straight.

"You even said it. simply. That's the point. I need something...erm..saucier. something better and more enticing and.. enthralling and... I don't know the word." She smiled, looking at me as I gave no expression.

"Oh come on. You know what I mean." She plopped down on a seat next to my bed.

"Whatever. Call me whatever you want." I breathed.

"Even doughnut?" She grinned.

"Shut up. Wanna tell you something." I finally told her.

"Alright, just spill. Don't beat around the bush or I'd sleep and even snore." She licked the chocolate off her lips.

"Alright alright. You'd be going to Connecticut, USA by Friday." I revealed.

She stared at me for a while not blinking.

"You're kidding." She suddenly said looking me dead in the eye as if she'd be able to get the truth out of it.

C'mon! How can kids even do that?! Gosh!

"I'm not". I replied her plainly.

"I'm really not". I repeated.

"Why?" She asked me, coming to sit close to me prolly to see the truth or something

"Well, dad wants you there. He misses you." I bit my lip, turning away from her.

I was lying to her again.

"Aww... Of course he does. Wait. Is he just realizing it? God. I'm offended." She folded her arms, pouting and guilt flashed in my eyes.

"But why aren't you coming with me?" She frowned.

"Erm... I can't. I mean... Dad has already chosen a school for me there. He doesn't want us back here in London. But I'd be coming over to stay with you guys too. Alright?" I lied to her.

"Aww.... I'll miss you. Look at you. You what to cry already. Aww... I know you'd miss me." She hugged me cleaning the crocodile tears.

I hugged her back.

"I promise I'd be nice to you till Friday." She grinned and I laughed.

"Alright. Start packing up. I'll come help you when I'm done." I told her.

"How bout Kathy?" She asked and I paused for a second.

"She's got other things to attend to. She'd be fine." I smiled, assuring her and she nodded.

She turned, about to leave when she turned back suddenly as if  she remembered something.

I raised an eyebrow.

"What?" I asked her.

"Uncle Phil forgot my pink shoes again". She pouted and I face palmed myself.

Her face lightened up immediately. "Dad would get it for me instead". She grinned and walked out.

She kept on singing I'll see dad. He misses me. I'll see dad.

I felt freaking bad honestly. She'd be so mad at me and broken when she finds out.

Phil is making me do this.

I sighed.

************************************

It was Friday already. I had packed my stuffs and Kay's.

Phil was here to get us. I had dressed up and cleaned up.

"Great. You guys are ready. Come on. Let's go. Your flight's at 6. Let's get there extra early." Phil said and I got my stuffs out with Kay.

We were on our way to the airport and then.... Soon, I was alone in the airplane.

A lone tear escaped from my eyes. I'd miss Kay a lot. Like a whole lot. She's my only surviving sibling.

Oh. Not that the rest of them are dead tho.

I just don't know their whereabouts.
