     Today was the day I was really excited to come out of school and come home. I came out from the bus thinking "school is finally over". I came out running to go see my family. Just then I realized something, that my family were gone. I was puzzled, thinking today is the day we leave. I called my mom Rachel no answer from her, I tried calling my dad Trevor the same thing, no answer from him either. I called my brother no answer, my sister  no answer. So I decided to wait till they came back. It was 11:35 A.M and they still haven't came back. So I went to my room to get some rest hoping they'd come back. I turned on the light and noticed their clothes was missing. I look at the clock and it was 12:30 A.M. I waited for a minute and thought about what was going on. I check the other two rooms and I found out some clothes are missing as well. I was sad 😔thinking they might've left without me . So I started to look around the house and see if they have left a note or something. It was now 2:20 A.M and I was really sleepy, so I went to sleep a while. 💤  I woke up looked for my family and they still haven't came yet. I looked at the clock again it was 7:36 A.M. I look out the window I forgot all about my dog. So I went outside to go feed my dog. I just realized some of the neighbors were just now waking up so I decided to ask them if they had seen where my parent had gone to. I saw an old lady sitting outside on her front porch. So I decide to go tell her if she had seen my family she replied " no". I went around the neighborhood and ask some more people. They all answered the same thing "no". I was so upset I never found out what happened to my family. I was hungry so I went inside to go get some food. Just when I started to eat I heard the door nob turning slowly and I also heard "quiet we don't want to wake her up now do we". I was afraid if it was my parent or a criminal. The door swung open and I saw my family. I had this huge weight off of me I was so reliefed  my parents were home again. We stared at each other for a while. I said to them where have ya'll been. They were quiet for a minute and then said "um well honey we went to look around the neighborhood where we are going to move to see if it was fine to move there or find some place else" I reply " well was it fine or do we need to move?" " Oh um yeah it was alright." That was when I noticed something strange in them. The next day they were gone again. I called my best friend about what was going on then I told her if I could stay at her house till my parents came back. She said it was fine and she was going to tell her mom to come pick me up. I left a note saying I was going to sandra's house. I minute later they came to pick me up. The first thing she said was "so they didn't leave a note or told you where they were going to". I said no they didn't. The first thing we did when I came into their house was watch the news with her mom. It said that a bank was robbed again for the fourth time and the cameras weren't able to capture their faces but they think that their the same people a mom, a dad, a duaghter, and a son. It also said the bank was robbed last night three times and in the morning only once. I started to think it was my family because they looked kind of suspicious last night and they weren't in the house this morning. I got scared and panicked, i left my friends house and went running back to my house and was hoping to see my parent their at the house. When I came back to the house I saw no one there I felt a huge weight on me again like last morning but this time more worse. I called sandra's mom to please come pick me up again. I told her sorry for running away like that and making you come pick me up again. She said I was no trouble for her. I then knew it was my family that was stealing the banks. I was so disappointed in them I would never think they were capable of doing that much trouble. I called my parent to see if they have came back home, and this time they answered they talked quickly and  said where I was at I said at Sandra's house I said where are you . They replied that doesn't matter right now and said listen you need to go back to the house pack your clothes and stuff we are moving today I said but "now he said" cutting me off. meet us at the airport!! I said why ... But they hung up on me. So I told Sandra's mom if she could take me back home then drop me off the airport. She said but why at the airport.I replied " my parent told me that we will meet up there".She said alright if that what your suppose to do I took all my clothes, and off we went to the airport. I waited for a minute till my parent came. They each came with two big  suitcases. I had the most curiosity and asked them what was inside the cases they said well honey what else our  clothes I said yeah ok whatever. Dad said we need to leave immediatly  so we went back in the car and drove off. It was queit  on the way there  so I asked where did ya'll go this morning he replied no where now please stop asking questions. I said yeah okay sorry dad. I texted Sandra I think I  know the people who robbed the bank she replied are you sure , who are they. I said okay but please don't tell anyone not even the cops okay. Okay I promise.I told my parent to tell me why they are never home . They said it doesn't matter we are going to start a new life.  I asked my dad, "Dad if you tell me I promise not to tell anybody you'r secret." Ok our secret is that we steal banks. But why do all of ya'll do that. Dad replied well because  ther was bank robbery  like 2 or 3 days ago and well they stole all our money that we had saved up for the moving day. On the moving day we were going to get money out of the bank but they told us they stole every single last penny. We didn't have enough money to move so we decides to steal the banks. But we are not done stealing  banks we need to steal more  money. My dad said only once to me this question "are you in  with us in stealing banks or not" I just started to think for a while in my mind do I join them or do I report it to the cops. I thought texting it to my friend might help me make a decisión  . She said I should do the right thing and whatever seemed right for me was fine by her. Which made my decisión even harder . All day long the only thing in my mind was "should I join or  not?"
