Mariana

The short chapter from Olives POV

As the title says, this is a short chapter. Sorry.

My Dad, Aunt, and 2 siblings disappeared over 5 and a half years ago. I don't like to talk about it, at all, and it ruined me. I never accepted it, but one day, after soccer, everything changed.
"Come on Olive!" My mom impatiently called from the car, interrupting my conversation with one of my teammates.
"I gotta go. Bye," I ran to the car, opened the door, and buckled my seatbelt.
"Hey mo-" I started but a phone call on my mom's phone cut me off.
Ring, Ring
"Sorry, let me get this," she said.
"Hello.... This is she.............What do you mean?....... What!..... Tomorrow?... Yeah, we'll be there!.. Mhm..... Bye." She hung up, and broke down.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
She smiled at me, "nothing sweetie, Dad, and Aunt Michaela, and Cal, and Mariana, they're back."
"What?" I started crying too, "really?"
"We aren't able to meet them until tomorrow though, but how about we go get some ice-cream to celebrate, ok?"
"Ok." I wiped the tears from my eyes, as mom started pulling out of the field we got home, and I got to sleep as quick as possible
I woke up in the morning to my mom already dressed, and ready to go.
"Ready?" She squeezed my hand.
"Yeah," I squeezed her's back.
