With a loud slam, Stella closed the trunk of her Aunt's car. Rolling her several suitcases, and with her backpack stuffed with fun things to do, she met her Aunt face to face outside of the car. 


"Well, Stella, Audrey. You are about to make your dream come true." She said with small tears forming in her blue eyes. 


Stella knitted her eyebrows and gave her Aunt an endearing look, "Awww...Auntie Jamie, don't be sad!" 


The woman sniffed and wiped her eyes quickly, hopeful not to make a scene at the entrance to the airport. "I'm sorry, It's just, you're both all grown up! It seems like it was yesterday you two were back in seventh grade telling all of us that you would move to Korea together." 


"Mrs. Johnson, even though I'm not your daughter or niece, I hope you know that I see you as my Aunt. And I will miss you out in Korea." Audrey tried comforting her.


But ultimately she failed which caused her to start sobbing. She pulled both girls into an awkward hug, their backpacks making it difficult to wrap her arms around them. "I love you guys!"


"We love you too, very much" Stella smiled. 


She let go of the young girls and wiped her eyes while sniffling here and there. "I'm sorry your mother and father aren't here right now." Aunt Jamie said to Stella.


Stella looked down as her posture dropped slightly. but Quickly she looked back up and shrugged her shoulders. "It's whatever. If they wouldn't accept the fact that I'm 23 and can make my own decisions, then I just won't care anymore." She tapped her foot out of annoyance and fixed a glare at her aunt.


"instead of being mature, 40-year-old adults, they decide to make fun of the country I was going to live in and judged me for it. It's gonna take a while for me to forgive them." 


Aunt Jamie sighed and nodded, "I understand your frustration with them. But can you at least text them before you get on the plane and tell them you love them?" 


Stella rolled her eyes and nodded. "fine...but only for you!" She giggled after pointing her finger at her Aunt. 


Aunt Jamie laughed with her before giving the two girls one last hug and a kiss on the cheek before stepping back. "Go now, you'll be late for your flight. I love you both." 


Audrey and Stella smiled and looked at each other before looking back at their Aunt and waving at her. "Bye Auntie Jamie!! Don't miss me too much!!" Audrey teases before grabbing Stella's wrist and dragging her inside the airport. 


"Goodbye, Aunt Jamie!! I love you!!" She yelled at the woman while being dragged.
