Rollercoaster: Prompts and Tales

The Dawn

A/N: I wrote 1,000 words back in February and through the months I forgot about it since it wasn't in my google docs. This one isn't a prompt story, but I am working on a three part that I was suppose to post in Dec/Jan/Feb but plans changed and I wasn't happy with the writing. Reminder that I'm writing about the characters and not the streamers!

It's closing in a year.

A year since she left Los Santos.

A year since she came home to our family.

She was ecstatic, our whole family was waiting for her at the arrival terminal.

I can still remember her facial expressions when she saw all of us with our big signs and embarrassing outfits welcoming her home.

The way she tried to avoid the whole family by going the other exit but we are such a big family that we gave her no chance to escape.

I miss her...we all do...

No one in the family could pack away her things, so I had to do it. I didn't want to but...we all had to move on at some point, that's what she would have wanted.

So here I am...in the city of Los Santos about to bring all that she has left, home.

While putting her things away, I found her apartment keys and phone. Her lock screen were of her second family, no one else in the family knew except me that she was part of a gang, let alone, the most notorious gang of all of Los Santos, Chang Gang. Someone had to tell them, and that someone just so happened to be me.

"Hello miss! Were you the one who called for a taxi?"

"Yes sir, I did." The man gets out of the driver's seat, popping the trunk open in the process. He takes both of her luggage.

"Woah, I was expecting some heavy luggage, either you packed really light or have some magical powers for making these light." The man laughs, opening the door for her. She watches as the man jogs to the driver's seat.

"Alrighty miss, my name is Abdul AlRahim, welcome to our wonderful city of Los Santos!"

"Nice to meet you Abdul, my name is Kyrae Val."

"So Ms. Val-"

"Please call me Kyrae." She interrupts the man, a little embarrassed.

"My apologies Kyrae, what brings you to Los Santos?"

"Just picking up some belongings my cousin left in her apartment."

"Apartment? Which apartments will it be?" She brings out the keycard to read.

"Alta Apartments." She shows him the key card for confirmation.

"Okay let's head on over. You say you're picking up some belongings for your cousin?"

"Yeah, she's...gotten a bit busy with her life back home so she asked if I could bring a few of her things."

"The light luggage makes sense now." He laughs.

"Her name is Ray Mond."

"Ray Mond? The name sounds familiar, I think I met her once, it was a long time ago. She was really nice while I was training someone to be one of my drivers in the city." Kyrae smiles hearing this.

"Here we are, Alta Apartments."

"Do you mind waiting a bit Abdul? I'm just going to grab and go, I shouldn't take too long."

"I don't mind at all, take your time."

"Thank you so much!" Kyrae takes one of the luggage and headed inside the building.
