3 Years Earlier

Selena's P.O.V.

It was night and cold. I shivered inside the tent, not feeling sleepy right at the moment. I had a good day today, tired from all the hiking and playing we did.

It is fun out here in the San Bernardino National Forest, although it's hot. Tomorrow we plan to go out to the lake. I have nothing against that. In fact, I'm waiting in anticipation for the sun to come up.

It's the middle of summer and my brother-in-law and my older sister came to visit me and my family. It's been almost a month since I've seen them. Mostly because we've all been busy with work or school.

Mother hates it when sister doesn't call us or at all visit. I have to remind her that they moved out of town and need some space. Hopefully Hazel doesn't get pregnant because if she did, mother would not hold back.

And dad? Oh dear. That old man is quite glad to finally see his older child married and with a good man. He says that now he can keep the spare room for his own amusement, whatever that means.

So, after they visited, we went camping together. The whole family.

My brother and father at first complained, saying 'camping is expensive, there are too many mosquitoes, I hate the woods, there isn't WiFi in the mountains and it's to hot for camping'. So many complaints yet we went camping.

It's been two or three years since my sister got married. Our parents couldn't believe it and they cried when she walked down the altar and was given to Jose, my brother-in-law.

He's a nice man with a huge heart. He works in the army, fighting for our country, even though he's a Mexican. My sister, Hazel, is totally head over heels in love with him and so is he with her. Their love life is like a fairytale and I never get bored over how they met.

Someday, I wish to meet a man that I would truly love and he would love me back.

They moved once they got married. Not out of state though. Just a few towns away.

My sister is a police officer and loves her job capturing criminals. Although it's a dangerous job, she loves it. When my father found out that she wanted to be a cop, he kicked her out the house and made a huge fuss about it. And when he found out she was dating a man who was to join the army, he tried fighting Jose in almost everything, and did everything to separate them, trying to show my sister that Jose couldn't take care of her. Oh, how wrong he was. In the end, father led them be.

I've always look up to my sister as my hero. She was strong and had a good heart in her.

Once she left the house to live with Jose, all I had left was my parents and my twin brother.

I stared up at the top of the tent. It was dark in here and cold. I turn to my left to see Sam asleep. Sam is my twin brother and born last. So I'm the oldest, although he always says he's the oldest. He's completely nuts and weird. I wouldn't change him though. I like being smarter than him.

I sit up from the air bed and yawn. I grab my California sweater and put it on. After that, I get off the air bed, being careful to not wake up my brother. I grab my black running shoes and put them on, bending down to tie up my shoe laces. I get back up and grab the blue flashlight that was near the entrance of the tent.

I zip up the zipper of the tent and exit, being careful to not fall or step on something. I turn around and peek inside the tent to see Sam still asleep. I zip the zipper back down, zipping the tent shut before any bugs could get in..
