"I can't believe your already leaving," I say to Alisa with a small pout

"I can't believe your already leaving," I say to Alisa with a small pout.

"I mean, I'm going to miss you, Al."
I try and hide the smile that wants to escape as I look at Austin.

"Hey! What about me"
We giggle a little at his pout.
"Okay, okay I guess I'll miss you too."
He smacks my arm softly.
"I love you" I smile cheekily.

Rolling his eyes playfully, "everyone loves me" this time I roll my eyes.

"We should start packing." I know I've had five days with them but it feels as if it's only been a couple of hours.

I don't want them to go...

But on the plus side my ribs have been healing well, I have to take pills and put a brace on them every night. Which I hate it's itchy, dad doesn't like it either. He says it's confusing to put on.

Oh, and most of my bruises have faded not all of them especially the bad, like the most obvious ones haven't yet but the small ones have and I'm happy.

I never thought a day would come when I wouldn't have any new bruises but here I am without any new bruises.
I've been 3 weeks without getting one.

My brothers and dad make me super happy.
They're the family I always wanted, they told me to not keep any more secrets from them and I asked them to never keep secrets from me and they agreed.

No more secret between us.

"I can help you Both pack." They agreed.

We make our way to their rooms and start to pack, one picture capture my eyes.

It was the three of us on the last day of 6th Grade, we were crying & giving each other the biggest bear hug we've ever received.

Their mom took the photo.

I smile slightly to myself, thinking about all the good memories I made out of my childhood.

They were a big part of it and I can't imagine what would've happened if they weren't there.

Well I could imagine, I know what would've happened & I'm glad I didn't go through with it.

I even had it all planned out, how I would leave, and everything. What I didn't know was how much of an impact it would've had on Alisa & Austin's life.

And not in a good way

"Ash, could you hand me that?" I look at the object Alisa was pointing at, it was the Photograph.

I hand it to her and watch as she packs it away carefully.

"Do you guys remember that one day in middle school, when Ms. Peña brought her dog & it bit the principals' butt?" Alisa and I start laughing at what Austin said, "Omg yes! He couldn't sit for a week"
