"Ariana come downstairs for breakfast!" My father says. "Coming!" I say shouting. I run down the stairs placing my jacket on my shoulder.

"Look who overslept again," Says My brother."Yeah yeah, Andrew, I know" I comment to him. Andrew's 2 years older than me, turning 22 on Wednesday. I don't know why he thinks he's the boss of me even if he's just older.

 "Get ready guys, stop muckering" "What does muckering even mean dad?" says Andrew. "You're 22 you should know that unless you have a pea-sized brain" "Ooo burn," I say. Andrew rolls his eyes while taking a piece of toast. I take a piece of toast and place it on my plate, scrubbing butter all over it.

" So. Got the promotion yet?" dad says. "No, not yet, but hopefully by the end of the month," I reply. I eat my toast with extra butter and face my head over the clock. 

"Oh heck- 8:55 already? I got to go" I eat the toast and grab my bucket hat. While rushing dad says, "Don't forget your watch!" "Oh yes!" I run upstairs to my room and grab my watch from my side table. 

While running halfway to the stairs I stop at moms picture. I give a flying kiss to the picture of my mother and run on the rest of the stairs. 

I don't know why I do that sometimes, I'm not grieving anymore. It's just that I just want to feel like she's still with me, it hurts to think about it so I try not to.

"Bye, dad!" I say while running. "Hey! What about me?" Andrew says. "Don't worry dad will say goodbye to you," I say while giggling. Andrew fake smiles at me and continues eating his toast. Leaving the door open, I rush into the car while starting the engine.

 I play 'Better when I'm dancin' By Megan Trainor. I fasten my seat belt and drove out of the yard, looking back at my house smiling.
