Are We There Yet?

a felt a sharp pain in my side a let out a sigh as a elbowed my sister in the face (one of the many siblings i have) she screamed in pain Eden turned her head as i looked at the one i elbowed "Suzie! what did you do?!" i stuttered as i watched blood drip from her nose right on to her new jean shorts....'perfect' i thought to myself....my mom pulled off the highway to the nearest gas station i watched as she handed Eden money "go get some wipes and napkins" she looked back at us "and some snacks"...i felt horrible i wasn't expecting her nose to bleed! i was just elbowing her back....i watched Eden walk out of the store with five bags on each arm.. she sat the bags in her seat and started passing back snacks and drinks. After izzies nose was all cleaned up we got back to the road mom was speeding at this point she was tired of driving...and everybody else was tired of being in this van...im surprised nobody has asked- "are we there yet?" izzie blurted out..that.

*a few hours later*

i heard Edens sharp tone "sit down aleczander" he just stood there staring at her..she groaned... pushed him down and then turned her head back to the wind shield..Alec let out this scream so loud that all the kids starting crying...thats when mom whipped her head around "will all of you just shut up?!" her voice was stern and cold i havent heard her talk like that in a while.....when dad died her voice got soft and warm...she immediately whipped her head back around looking at the road as everything got dead silent. Eden was looking out the window and fidgeting with her fingers all the kids slowly started to play again whispering scattered around the van...i just watched the trees go by out the window..i knew she would snap one day..nobody can be that nice for a year..i could tell Eden needed to get out i wish i could help her like i did when we were kids..but i cant because we barely speak to each other and if we do were almost always fighting..its hard to think about last year..even when i try to think about me and Edens old relationship all i can think about is dad...and the morning mom found him and me and Eden rushed downstairs when we heard her scream..i remember how Eden was crying but i just couldn't and i think every time she looked at me it would make her cry more...i think she was crying for me...or maybe she was crying because i wasnt.. or maybe something died in me that day..and maybe she realized it... i guess we will never know..because Eden refuses to tell me why she was crying so much..i think she pushed me away..i think she pushed everyone away and she decided she was never ever going to get attached to anyone..it only took one person to make her realize you can get hurt any time any way so she decided she would never let it happen to her again.
