Shattered

Chapter 6

"That women is here" my mom calls from her room. I walk up stairs to go help Tyler bring his bags down and see Derron in his room. I run over and hug him. He's fully dressed. "I'm driving over to Aunt Cathy's with you guys. I have to drive though because I'm not a minor. But I talked to Aunt Cathy and she said I can come. " Derron tells me. The three of us all go downstairs. "Okay, so I will be driving you all to Florida where your family lives. They wanted to put you on a plane but I wanted to make sure you got there safely" Ms.Sheila tells us. "Sound good" she asks "Yeah" We all reply in unison. We all go to the car and pile our stuff into the trunk.

The drive there was the longest I could say. After I got to a certain point everything about Florida seemed so familiar. It was only a matter of time until we finally got to Aunt Cathy's. Aunt Cathy had a 6 bedroom house which was pointless because it was only her. she didn't have any kids, she didnt havea boyfriend and she wasn't married. the only thing she ever worried about was us ,work and my grandmother. It was a sad life to live but she sure lived it. The only thing that really made her happy was showering us in money.

When the car finally stopped the 3 of us got out of the car and Derron not too far behind us. "Ohh. My babies" Aunt Cathy exclaimed as she bursted through the door. The 4 of us all joined in a hug. "Let's get inside. I'll talk to this kind lady here while y'all put y'all stuff up. Now Kaylin. its a room up in there with baby pink walls. Its all yours!!" she says with a big smile draped across her face. I hug her again and get all my things inside in 3 trips. I go right into the room she tells me is mine. I toss all my bags on the floor and reach in and pull out q box of smores poptarts and eat one. I end up eating the whole box. My phone is already connected to my Aunt's wifi so I FaceTime my boyfriend Jacob. He answers on the third ring. "Oh my God, are you okay" he exclaims. "No." I tell him and break out into tears and tell him everything. About my mom leaving us after the funeral, the hotel, the money, the weed, my mom not wanting us , and now me moving to Florida. "Kaylin. why didn't you tell me sooner. I don't like to see you hurting like this" he cries. He pauses me and I hear sniffling on the other end and I know he's crying. "Jacooob" I say and drag out his name. Jacob and I had been dating for 2 years and we had a really open relationship I knew everything and he knew more about me then I knew about me. Jacob is talking to me now but I'm not listening. I am so tired the sound of his voice is soothing and I drift off to sleep.
