The Moment I Knew: Chapter 1

I watched the trees pass by my eyes as I can hear my little sister’s rant in the back seat about who knows what. My mom and dad’s business was expanded and we needed to move out from the place where my childhood life begun.

I can’t say that I don’t miss anything because the truth is I’m gonna miss everything.

I’m gonna miss the times. The happy moments that I can’t share to the ones I spend with.

I’m gonna miss them. The friends who always supported and encouraged me in every step of the way since I met them.

I’m gonna miss it. The house where I laid my first step, the house I grew up with.

I’m gonna miss Satterwhite School, the school where my older sister Ericka graduated from kindergarten to high school. The school where me and my sisters attended from the start before we needed to move. I’m gonna miss Satterwhite Kindergarten, Elementary and High School.

And specially, I’m gonna miss the whole place of Farmington, Allentown. It held a lot of memories that can either be good or bad but I treasure them all.

My parents promised us to go back there for vacations but I doubt we will. You wanna know why? Because, yeah they’re great parents but sometimes I feel like they chooses work over us. And when we needed their time the most, they will completely ignore us making up excuses that the company needed them.

And the sad part was, I keep telling them the same words that I always want them to listen to but they never did.

(Flashback)

I was waiting in the kitchen for mom and dad to be home. My older sister Ericka went for a sleepover to a friend’s house and my younger sister is sleeping in her room. It was already 9 in the evening and we just finished eating dinner. After a few hours of waiting I heard the front door open and close and then followed by footsteps.

 

I ran into the main door to find mom and dad removing their shoes. “Hey mom, dad,” I greeted then walked towards them to give them a hug and they hugged me back in return.

 

“Hey honey, why aren’t you asleep yet?” mom asked as she pulled back, removing her thick gloves since its freezing cold with the snow of December.

 

“I want to ask you guys something,” I asked nervously fidgeting with my fingers.

 

“Okay, let’s take this matter in the living room,” dad answered me.

 

We all went to the sofa and my parents both seated on the longer couch and I was seated on the sofa where only a single person is fitted.
