"stop worrying about me zoe, its time you finally know about your real family."
"you are my real family."
"even if we aren't related by blood, you still are." i continued.
she smiled, "you always did know how to make me smile, zoe. now it's your turn."
i smiled, "thank you."
"you're welcome, now go get em' tiger." you can tell she was trying to hold back the water works. but she wasn't doing a good job because one rolled down, but she didn't notice.
"thank you." i whispered. "for everything."
she forced a smile through those tears, "no, thank you. you have my number, correct?"
i nod. "flight 286, from new york to california is now boarding." the intercom blasted.
"that's my call." a tear rolled down my cheek. "i'll see when get back." she didn't say anything, but give me a long powering hug. some say action speak louder than words, and i must have a agree with that statement over everything.

welcome to chino hills, california!
this is it. only 10 minutes till i arrive to my destination. i run a hand through my faded orange hair. i never have regretted switching my hair color from light brown to orange. i wanted a change. i didn't want to look like them.
