Left behind

People change

After walking for a large amount of time.. well at least it felt like it. We finally got to the neighborhood.

"Woodland farms" junior reads the neighborhood name out loud.
"Well we are here now we need to find the house" he says

"Sydney do you remember where the house is from here?" Dan asks me

"No we came in from the back of the neighborhood I think.. ive never seen this part of it" I replied

We continued to walk around the neighborhood looking for the house. I tried to concentrate on the houses to see if anything seems familiar but nothing looked them same to me.

"Wait wait this is it! The one with the sign in the front! Thats the house." I said excitedly. I was so happy we found it..and not because I didnt want to walk anymore.. but I didn't hah but because I was glad to be home.

"Are you sure? Thats it? We found it!" Dan says while he forces himself to walk.

"Yeah that's it!" I replied

We finally get close to the house and as we walk closer to the front I read a sign that reads 'house for sale open house friday the 23rd'

"They are selling the house? W-why? We loved that house we had so many memories in this house." I say as I slowly drop to the floor holding in my tears.

"Sydney its ok" luna says trying to cheer me up.
"People change memories don't remember that" she says

That hit me hard. It was surprisingly true. All the fun times I had with my parents and they leave me. They can change the present but that cant change the past.

I get up and I walk to the front door.
"Lets hope the house is unlocked" I say as I move my shaking hands to the doorknob.

" 1..2..3... OPEN!" Junior yells as I attempt to open the door.
It was locked.. my heart literally stopped. They arnt here. They left. My parents dont live here anymore.

I can see that junior was pretty sad too. I think he doesn't want to show it so he can act strong in front of me. Sometimes its okay to be sad you cant hold it in forever. I walk over and hug junior. He puts his arm around me and we stand there staring at the ground not talking. Luna and dan sit on the sidewalk trying to catch their breath from walking.
"WAIT!" Luna says walking up to the sign
" the open house! That's tomorrow! Today is Thursday!" She says

"Thats right! We can just camp outside until tomorrow morning we can pretend we are interested In the house and go inside!" Dan explains

"Then we can see if our parents show up junior! We can finally see them now!" I said.

"If you guys want to Im fine with that!" Junior says.

We all start to walk around the neighborhood to past by time before the sun goes down. We are planning to sleep between the houses tonight. Luna brought her blanket from the orphanage and dan and junior brought some too so we will have blankets to cover with.

We end up going back to the house before anyone finds us suspicious and calls the cops. We cant let that happen. We all get comfortable and make sure we cant be seen by any passing cars. After we all get settled in we start to talk. I kinda liked it because I never really had anyone to talk with. My parents really never talked to me about life and I never had friends.

We all start to get deep into conversations and junior starts talking about the child hood he had.

"I remember the night before they left me..uh.. my parents were very nice to me.. that night they read me my favorite book and they uh.." he explained while stuttering im sure he was trying to hold in his tears.

"Junior" I say interrupting him.

His head shoots up and looks at me

"Its ok if your sad.. you don't have to act strong all the time you know. Everyone has feelings its not good to keep them in. We are your family we are here for you" I said looking junior right in the eyes

"Sydney Im not trying to act strong. I understand you guys are here for me. I can't express my feelings to anyone. Its hard for me." He says

I understand where he is coming from but im his sister. He can trust me. That kind of hurt me in the inside but I knew he wasn't trying to hurt me in that way.

We all sit there just talking about life. Everyone starts to get tired so we decide to go to sleep.
We have a pretty big day tomorrow. I might get to see my parents so that a good thing. I get to go in my house once more and remember all the good memories that wont ever leave me.. so thats also good.

"Goodnight" I say to everyone as we fall to sleep.

"Goodnight"
"Night"
"Goood night"
