I put my earbuds in as I help bring the boxes from the moving van inside, i put on my music the loudest it can go so I don't hear the words being thrown at my father from my mother. I pick a box labeled Samuel's room and another labeled posters and bring it into the large brick house my family picked out for us to move into. I look inside the house and saw my little sister sitting on the floor with her stuffed animal she named after her favorite superhero. I start upstairs and find a room thankfully with a sign saying SAM on the door. As i open the door i am greeted with all of my instruments sitting in the middle of the room already. I drop the boxes by the door and go to get the rest of the stuff.
"Hey bubba, can i help you?" I heard a faint voice and felt my plaid shirt be tugged. I look down to see charlie with her big hazel eyes and long dark brown hair.
"Of course Charlie, come on but don't pay attention to mommy and daddy okay ?" I say trying to make sure my little sister doesn't think too much about them.
"But bubba, why are they yelling at each other?" She looked up at me with knowing eyes, telling me she know i was going to sugar coat every word i tell her.
"They just don't agree on something on Char, but you shouldn't worry about it so just come help me please." I replied as i reached for her small hand. She nodded her head instead confirming with words so i just continued on the way outside to the moving truck. We crawled across the lawn not wanting to intrude or be pulled into any argument mom was having with dad this time. We stole glances as we strolled by our mother giving us pleading eyes to rescue her from the horrendous conversation she is having with our father but we looked down and continued to approach the moving truck.
Charlie grabbed a small box labeled stuffed animals and I got 3 all for chars room. We scurried off back to the picture perfect house and then upstairs to chars pale blue room with a bunch of stuffed animals already in there. We started to unpack all the boxes and was done with those in no time, char helped get the rest for her room and what she could pick up for mine and waited for our parents to stop yelling in the garage.
"Sammie, will mommy and daddy be like this all the time" she said as her eyes welled up with tears. "No char, don't worry okay? Hey lets go play with your toys while we wait for them to be finished unpacking everything else." I said trying my hardest to get her little mind off of them. She nodded still wanting to cry and slowly followed me up to her room where we stayed for a couple hours.
