"Welcome home!"
inside was a beautiful room filled with dark lights and posters and a stack of some of my favorite CDs. I flew in dropping my bags on the bed with tears springing from my eyes.
"Thank you thank you thank you!!!!" I managed to say running back to my aunt where she handed me two boxes.
"A little extra welcome home present" she said winking at me.
inside the first box there was a choker along with a Marilyn Manson tee and his third CD, Smells Like Children
. I was smiling non stop and I wanted to cry tears of joy for the first time in a few years.
"Oh my gosh,thanks sooo much!" I said hugging her.
"open the next one"she said whispering in my ear.
As I separated from her arms, I walked back to the bed and picked up the second box. Inside was a pair of concert tickets and back stage passes to go see Evanescence. I began to cry so much it was nasty just tasting my salty tears with a hint of mascara.
"Thanks so much Aunt Helena. This was a very nice present."
"No problem sweetie. Now that your brother is locked up, you're the only one I can spoil since Shaylynn is in college."

I finished unpacking half of my stuff by now and I'm exhausted. Not only did the room decor help me, but it was actually much better than the one I had at home. I let out a sigh as I look at a few posters on my wall. They were signed by the guys in Slipknot from the first time me and mybdad went to a concert about a year and a half ago. I miss him and my mom. Sometimes I miss my brother...butvthen I remember everything...
