Chapter 3, On my way to the West

Its finally the night before I leave for Texas. I was so anxiuos to go. But another part of me was upset. I always imagined going back to Texas with Brianna. But that obviously wasnt going to happen.

We planned everything out. I was to spend the first week and a half with my dad's said of the family. Which include all my cousins and aunts and uncles. The next week and a half I was going back to Fortworth to see my freinds.

My mom decided it was rude to except the money from Dana's mom because I wasnt going to be with them the whole time. And partly because I was going to be staying at Dana's the whole week and a half allowing me food and anything else I needed.

It was about 11:00PM when I was going over my last checklist of stuff I needed for my trip. I had everything I needed for the whole three weeks. I couldnt wait to see my family. I wanted to play around with them like we used to do a year ago. But I knew that they all must have changed and I was hoping not to much. Because I really miss those times.

My mom walked into my room and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "You should go to bed. We are leaving for the airport at exactly 5:30. Ready or not."

I laughed and made a quick yawn. "Okay mom, im going."

She smiled. "Good night honey."

I smiled back at her and cuddled into my covers. I knew I wasnt going to sleep tonight, but it was worth a shot.

My eyes shot open for about the tenth time at 3:53AM. I decided to go in the bathroom and splash some water in my face. As I walked to the bathroom I here some whimpering coming from my moms room.

I creeped closer and closer to her door and the sound became more clear. My mom was crying. I gently creek the door open and stared at my mom. She was cuddled into a ball on her back facing the opposite side of me.

I walk to her bed side and she opened her eyes. I smiled at her but she didnt smile back. Her nose was beat red and her eyes looked tired and worn out.

"Whats wrong mom?"

She sat up a little bit. "I miss them Nat."

I nodded and sat next to her on her bed. "Me too mom."

"I...I just thought that the next time any of us would go back to Texas; it would be a family vacation. With all of us here."

"You can go with me mom." I said laying down next to her.

"No honey, its not that. Its just this whole thing brought up the memory."

"Im sorry mom, I didnt mean for it to."

"I know Natalia, its not your fault." She said stroking my hair.

"Im sorry mom. About being so moody."

"Its okay honey. I understand..you didnt know how to handle the whole situation."

After a while we both fell asleep.

>>>>>>>

I was awakened by mom mom's alarm clock beeping loudly into my ear. I opened my eyes wide. I see my mom behind me stretching her arms and yawning. I did the same and hopped off the bed.

"Today is the day." I said and ran to my room to get ready.

I put on the shortest shorts I could find. Then I put on a gray tank top that was tight on the top then got looser on the botton and it had black flowers all on the stomach. It was going to be hot. Even though it was already pretty hot in Cali anyways.

I threw my hair up in a high bun and put in my makeup and sunglasses. I grabbed my suitcase and ran downstairs.

"You ready?" My mom asked waiting at the door.

I smiled wide and nodded. I couldnt wait.

We pulled up to the airport quicker then I had thought. My mom stopped in front of the entrance and helped me get my bags out of the back.

"Here, dont spend it all in one place." She said handing me a pile of cash.

"Mom, how much is this?"

"Enough."

I shook my head. "Thats way to much mom. How much is in here?" I asked flipping through the pile and seeing many 20s.

"Just a few hundred dollars. Your gonna be there for 3 weeks Nat. You need a good amount of money."

I finished counting the pile of money and looked up at my mom...wide eyed. "Mom! There is 800 dollars here! I dont need that much!"

"Then dont spend it all, ive been saving up for the trip for the whole family since we moved here. And thats not even half of the money I had saved. Just dont spend it all in one place."

I gave her a big hug and she gave my my bag. We said our goodbyes with both of us teary eyed as I walked into the airport.

I found my gate quicker than I thought. I gave the lady my ticket and boarded the plane. Then, before I knew it we were in the air. I was to land in Crowley, Texas at 8:00PM.
