"Beep beep beep!" My eyes flew open.

Today is the day.

I looked at my alarm clock.

Five in the morning.

I turned my alarm off and I looked outside my window.

Still dark out.

I immediately walked to the bathroom and did my daily routine that I have been doing since I was sixteen. Brush, bathe, wear clothes, put on light makeup, curl hair and I am done.

After half an hour with that, I fixed my bed, which I won't be sleeping in for a week, Placing my pillows and my blanket neatly. I took one last look before I carried my sling bag and rolled my suitcase out, closing the door.

I saw Joseph, Dana, Miguel and my grandma in the living room. My grandma hugged Miguel tightly while they talked. Dana was on the phone. Work maybe.

She's a manager of her own fashion house. And she was the one who designed my dress at the party three days ago.

"Let's go?" My brother-in-law said. Miguel ran to me, hugging my legs. He wore a pale blue sweater, pants, shoes, and a green backpack.

I want my baby to be like him someday. Well, when I have one in the future.

"Yeah. Lets go." I said before Joseph started to pull on a suitcase as big as mine and a smaller suitcase. Dana and my grandma soon followed him, carrying smaller bags and my suitcase. I carried Miguel as I walked out of the house.

After two hours of driving, we finally reached the airport terminal. Dana and Miguel kissed Joseph goodbye before we got out of the car. Since it was eight a.m. and our flight was at nine, Dana checked our bags in while Miguel and I bought food. We waited for approximately thirty minutes before Dana got our bags checked and ten more minutes before we got onboard.

This is it.
