The room is quiet, the only sound is Nellie, my rabbit. I keep turning on my bed hoping for Morphé to come but it seems like I won't sleep tonight either.

I get up and walk towards my desk and take a pen. I look at the previous lines on my paper but I can't find something good to go after it. I could take them off and create a new end but I like what I wrote. Maybe it could go for later, but it wouldn't make sense.

I hear my phone vibrate against the wood and take a look at it.

Evin (ma bestie <3): 'Girllll, have you seen what Taylor Swift just posted??'

'No, you know I'm not really into what she makes'

Evin (ma bestie <3): 'Yeah I know and I still really think you should listen to her from time to time.'

Evin (ma bestie <3: 'ANYWAYSSSSSSSSS'

Evin (ma bestie <3): 'She's going to do an interview and fans will bale to ask her questions. I might have found a way to go.'

'I'll listen to her maybe later, I'm not a huge fan of country you know that'

'Good for you but why do you tell me'

'I mean don't take me wrong I'm really happy for you and all. But I mean you could have told me tomorrow at work?'

Evin (ma bestie <3): 'COUNTRY??? IN WHICH YEAR DO YOU LIVE?? SHE CHANGED TO POP LIKE A DECADE AGO'

Evin (ma bestie <3): 'And I don't really want to go alone and since you're my best friend I tought maybe you would be nice enough to come with me? And you can't really say no since I already bought places'

'Depends when and where it is'

Evin (ma bestie <3): '10th of December, and in New York I think'

'Are you serious?? Evin you know Lena and Lennie's birtday is on the 11th, if I miss it they'll be so upset and my parents will be really mad.'

Evin (ma bestie <3): 'C'mon, you know it's my dream. I'm sure they'll understand. + you're not five anymore, and neither are your sisters.

'Let me think about it.'

Evin (ma bestie <3): 'Sure, but you know I'm right'

I put my phone aside and focus on the paper in front of me. I write a few words and erase them. It's been like that for a week now, I can't write a single sentence without hating it three seconds later.

I lay on my bed and, for once, fall asleep in a few minutes later.

3 September 2022

"CAMSSSSSSSS"

I cover my ears "Evin for fuck sakes, it's 7 am, way too early for you screams."

"Sorry not sorry." She pauses a bit before to ask "Have you thought about it?"

"I don't know, I really want to come with you cause I know it'd make you happy but what about my family."

We get on our way for work.

"You can lie and say that it's for the work?"

"I don't like lying to them, they always find out, besides, why would the work of baker bring you to go to New York?"

"True. But come onnnnnnn, it'll be funnnnn"

"Yeah you're right, I'll tell them tonight"

We reach the bakery and work all day. I can't stop thinking of my sisters, I've never missed one of their birthday, but Evin is right. They're turning 17, they can survive without me at their birthday.

I'm standing in front of the door, waiting for my mom to open. It's around 9 pm so I guessed my dad is watching his favourite TV show.

The door opens.

"Camille, hiii I missed you." My mother is standing in front of me, she's smiling and opening her arms. I snuggle into and answer.

"I missed you too mom. Sorry for coming without warning, I really need to tell you something."

"Of course. Come in, it's cold outside"

We walk into the house till the living room where everyone is sitting on the couch. Lena and Lennie both get up and hug me tight while dad is being mad from being interupted in the middle of his TV show.

"Hi girls, how are you?"

"I'm okay, I missed you so much." Lena stays huggin me tighter

"I'm so excited, did you know that Taylor Swift is going on a kind of meeting soon??? But mom and dad said no cause our birthaday is the next day." Says Lennie really excited but a point of sadness in her eyes.

"....Yeah, I know, that's why I came. Evin found places and want me to go with her."

"OMG THAT'S AMAZINGGGGG"

"Lennie" She punchs her sister in the shoulder. "That means you won't be here for our birthday?"

"....I'm sorry, I wanted to know if it was okay, but if it's not then I'll tell her to look for someone else"

Mom puts her arm around my shoulder.

"No sweetheart, you're good to go. You can have fun with Evin and we'll celebrate it when you'll come back. How about that girls?"

"Yes mom you have to let her gooooo"

Suddenly my father gets up. "No. She has to be here for her sisters' birthday."

"Marc come on, she isn't a child anymore."

"I don't care. She has to be here, what will they think otherwise."

"I'm okay with it"

"It's totally fine for me"

My dad growls and go upstairs. My mother turns towards me.

"He isn't doing very well those times, please forgive him."
